Quarter Backing Demands Faith in Men Who Tote the Ball

perfectly competent critic and I
know he wasn't quarter back. He
was a half back, a full back, a
kicker, triple threat, a galloping
ghost, a Chicago mauler-in short, a
keen, slick, agile, tricky ball car
rier. But he wasn't quarter back.

II backP Old Steve Creekmore,
who played for the University Of
Arkansas years ago, when Ray Nor
rison was playing quarter back for
Vanderbilt.
Some quarter backs can run and
kick and pass. But they don't have
to. Steve Creekmore, playing the
long field on defense, would stand
relaxed and nonchalant and let a
punt crop to within six feet Of the
ground before moving. Then he
would take it on the lam. And
when he did it would take more
bone and gristle than two ends con-
tanned to stop him head-on. This
was just bit Of shoWmanship on
his part. For the most part he
confined himself solely to quarter
backing.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-11-02

Quarter backing is not a simple
matter of thinking up play to
call. It does not necessarily call for
more intelligence Of a general sort
than clever half back or a power
full full back needs 1t calls for a
combination of things: An agile,
resourceful mind, good memory,
resolution, nerve, an indomitable
will to win, and the force Of char
acter and the personality necessary
to impose his will on others. (What,
no spinach9)
I'm addition-and perhaps more
important than all those other
things-a quarter back must have
three specific qualities: Faith, a
knowledge Of men, and decisiveness.
He can do respectfully enough with
out some Of the other qualities, but
he is sunk without the latter three. -

Times Special Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-some days
L ago we were talking about the
greatest quarter back of all time.
We didn't get very far. 1t devel-
oped that there were three million
greatest quarter backs of all time. !"
In despair and delight the contro-
versy, so far as this writer was
concerned, was declared ended And
then came the provocative question,
What is a quarter back?" To that
question submit the following
monograph:
Anybody who knows the differ
ence between a first down and an
infield fly should know that a quar-
ter back has no relation to the rest
of the backs, except that they all
work in the same department. The
difference between a quarter back,
in fact, and the rest of the thun-
dering herd is the difference be-
tween the gold standard and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to /.
It's the difference between Mea
West and the game of postoffice.

ter Eckersall, play, therefore. am

at the edge Of a cotton patch? Well
that's how it sounded when Vidal
went off tackle and across the goal
line-a deep, muff1ed whirr. Whur-
r-r-r-r.
There it was TO 0 against us.
And, remember, I am talking about
quarter backing. Pretty soon we
had the ball on Army's 1O-yard
line. And here is where the runt,
Bagley, comes in. On fourth down
we still had four yards to go. The
runt squatted behind center,
screwed his head around and took a
look at his back field No huddle,
no conference. He was doing his
own thinking.
"All the chips were in. This was
the play that made or broke the
team. Three times he had called
on his full back. And three times
the full back had failed. What
now? The runt studied his men
calmly. He asked nobodys advice;
he called no conference; he made
his decision alone and took all the
responsibility. He sent the full back
inside tackle again for the fourth
and last try. And the guy made it!
Yours darkly and pessimistically,
JOHN SORRELS."
