New York, Nov. 0.--Any time q
back starts 10 become famous, tAke
O look at the man up front, or
rather the man down field.
For every open field phenomenon
there has been one or more clever
terferers. Blockers ordinarily re-
main back In the shadows in q pub
licty way, but some OF them &C.
tually became renowned as the re.
suit Of paving the way for celebrate
ed ball carriers.
Earl Britton ran In front Of Red
Harold Grange, for example. In
the old days at Pittsburg, Tommy
Davies had Tommy fiolleran clear
ing the way, and dibby WEIGH had
Jimmy Hagan.
Johnny Murrell took out would
be tacklers for Red eagle and
Army. Ernie Pickert enabled Orv
Mohler to 60 places for Southern
California, and Marty Brill was o.
biz help to Marchy Schwartz when
he wasn't Juggling the leather HIM
self for old Notre Dame. Bones
Hamilton gave Bobby Grayson o
big hand at Stanford. Ozzie Sim
mons hasn't looked quite as good at
Iowa since Dick Crayne graduated,
A coach's trick Is to get his enc
tire team blocking. It has been
the success Of Bernie Bierman and
DR.. Jock Sutherland along this line
that accounts for the splendid rec
ords of the Minnesota and Pitts
burg varsities Of recent years.
Good Ball Carrying
inspires Blocking
While ball carriers don't get very
far without blocking, their indivd-
ual brilliance inspires good blocking.
DR.. Sutherland says that because
Of the faith In Marshall doldberg's
ability to take care Of himself In
an open field, there has been O
greater Willingness on the part Of
all Of his Pittsburg boys to get the
Misunderstanding sophomore out In
the open.
Various men have helped at
various times. There Is u certain
unity when blockers realize that
their efforts are not going TO be
wasted.
Bill olassford comes around
from his guard post TO make
timely blocks for Goldberg. GUAR.
terback Johnny Chickerneo blasts
away at ends, because he knows
that Goldberg will repay him by
picking up plenty OF yardage"
Averell Daniel and Tony Matisi
big tackles, block, too.
Against Ohio State, II was
Chickerneo and Bill stapulis, full
back, Eho opened the way for
Harold stebbins' touchdown run.
stebbins Is the fastest youngster
on the Pittsburg club. CHECKER
rieo and 6tapulis knew no would
90 places n gwen the opportunity.
The runner has TO DO as good
as the interference to make thrill
Ing runs possible. Goldberg has
proved that he can make his own
way, too. He Ia Oh dangerous when
II comes to bucking as In the open
field.
Records Show That New
Coaches Sweep Steamer
There Ia ample evidence this fall
that new coaches sweep cleaner,
and that II doesn't take aS long to
install individual systems as was
generally supposed by many.
Red Dawson has only o Tic
charged against his record OF Tu-
lane. Carl snavcly's sophomores
are winning major games for Cor
nell for the FIRST time In three
campaigns and get stronger
weekly. Tulane alone repealed Bear
VOLTS North Carolina Tar Heels.
Major Bob Neyland has accomplish.
cd wonders at Tennessee, where lit
tle was expected this trip.
Maurice Chg Clipper Smith IL
unbeaten at villanova. Johnny
Little Clipper Smiths DuqueSne
array repulsed Pittsburg, and
lost its one game TO West Vir.
gina Wesleyan while suffering O
letdown. Maryland has dropped
only one contest since the veteran
Frank Dobson was moved into the
head spot - 10 North Carolina.
The Old Liners have Victories
over Virginia and Syracuse 10
brag about.
Buck Shaw, the Hollywood ref
ugee, has In Santa Clara the only
unbeaten aggregation on the Pacific
coast.
Hustling pays In any line, and
the work Of o coach eager 10 make
good Ia reflected by his men.
