Right PLAY Goes Wrnne.

IN OTHER words, quarterback may

call the right play-and then come out
OF the huddle to find, because of a
switch in the defensive teams lineup,
that it isn't the right play at all A
weak spot that he has detected in the
opposing teams line suddenly has been
strengthened. The backers-up. who
were playing just deep enough to suit
him, are playing in closer-or maybe
little deeper, Maybe he doesn't see
this in time. He calls the play and
It is piled up.
Naturally, this situation existed
prior to the last couple years The
defense didn't always stand. immov-
able. waiting to be shot at But the
situation never was quite so acute as
1t is noW-as any quarterback or any
coach can testify.
The burden placed on the quarter
back can be shared to some extent by
the other players. Teams are equipped
with plays that run in series-several
plays, all starting the same, but end
ing differently. One variation of it
will 60 against five-man line, but
can be stopped very easily by seven
man line-but another will go against
. seven-man or siX-man line.
And now, on some teams. it is the
duty of one or two players other than
the quarterback to note the shifting
of positions by the defense as the
teams line up and tip off the quarter
back so he can break off into varia-
ton of the proposed play or into an
entirely new play.

Brock Comes Back.
THE Pitt PLAYERS were elated

THE Pitt players were elated They
had the smart guy on the run
now. They pulled the stunt again.
Again it worked They thought that
from there on he would be a pushover.
But the next time they tried it, Brock
met them more than halfway. In a
terrific charge he drove the blockers
right back into the ball carrier and
then flattened the ball carrier.
The trick had worked once. 1t had
worked twice. But that was as far
ss the sleigh ride went. Brock couldn't
be fooled with that device any more.
Ultimately, the physical power of the
Pitt attack beat him down, and, when
he went down, the rest of that impos-
ing Nebraska line crashed with him
and Pitt rolled on to victory.
There was great satisfaction in that
for the Pitt players. But not nearly
so much as they would have derived
If they had been able to keep Brock
In a state of confusion. In fact, I
think they got a bigger kick out of
fooling him twice than they did out
of winning the game

Pitt Trick Works Twice.

THE Pittsburgh team used a neat
trick to confound Brock, the Ne
braska center, and it worked. But
only for while.
Brock is one of the best defensive
centers in the game-big, rangy,
strong, quick, and, above all, smart.
Teams that have played against him
say he practically can read quater-
backs mind. That's the way it seems
to them, but actually what he does
Is to spot the course of an impend-
Ing play by telltale motions, gestures
or attitudes on the part of the players.
On football field. he is-as Doc
Spears once said of Bronko Nagurski
like a mule in a pasture-he sees
everything that is going on. No move
ment, however slight, escapes his no.
tice. And every movement has its
meaning.
This day against Pitt, he was doing
his stuff splendidly. He always seemed
to know when to leap into the line
or when to stay back. He would leap
In and smash the attack before it
got under way, lay back and smash
1t as it came through. No matter
where the Pitt quarterback sent the
play, he couldn't seem to keep it away
from Brock. That was what held up
the Pitt scoring machine so long.
Then came the trick. The Pitt quar-
terback called play, watched Brock
set himself for the defense-and then
called the play off That set Brock
to prowling back of the line again and
the quarterback called, presumably,
another play. Brock set himself in
a slightly different spot and the Pitt
attack went into motion. But it was
the same play that was called origi-
nally and went through the spot Brock
had lust left

QUICK VARIATIONS
OF PLAY NECESSITY
Burden on Offensive Pilot
Heavy as Opposing Line
Formation Changes.
By GRANTLAND RICE.


M backing never an easy job, is
VI more difficult than ever right
a now and will remain SO unless
the Rules Committee does something
about curbing the defense, as some of
the coaches would like it to do.
But whether any restrictions are
placed on the defense-or even
whether to do this would be advisable
is beside the point that I am trying
to make, which is that quarterback
has more things to think about now
than he ever did and, as anybody who
ever played that position can tell you
he always had plenty on his mind.
The reason, of course, is the amazing
developments in the defense in the
last couple of years. Once defenses
were pretty rigid. A team played
seven-man line.
Now the same team may employ all
three styles-and practically at once.
The team with the ball comes out Of
Its huddle and lines up and the de-
Tense may line up against it with five
men on the line. The offensive team
shifts and so does the defense team
another man or maybe two men jump
ing into the line.
Thus, the offensive team, having
shifted into position to run against a
flve-man line, finds itself facing a
six or seven man line. This new set
up requires different assignment of
blocks for the offensive team. The
play has to be checked, varied, maybe
completely changed.
