dous majority would favor "Nibs"
Price, who was on CALIFORNIA; bench
when Roy Riegels made his famous
''Corrigan" run over his own goal line
in the 1929 Rose Bowl game.
Coach Price, although entirely inno-
cent, took most of the blame. A year
later he was succeeded in the Califor-
MIA coaching post by Bill Ingram,
himself an important figure in one of
footballs giddiest episodes. Until the
Riegels incident it had stood out as
the games biggest brainstorm.
Ingram was at fullback for the
Naval Academy in 1918 when it met
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
"a service team of former college
stars - for the right to play in the
Rose Bowl. The Naval Academy was
leading 6 to 0 late in the game and
had pounded its way to within inches
of another score. Ingram was given
the ball He crashed into the Great
Lakes line - the pigskin popped out
OF his arms and into the hands of

was engaged in heated battle with
West Virginia. One of the West Vir-
ginia backs apparently heard derog-
atory remark from a spectator as he
lined up for play. The ball was snapped,
the back made his block, raced of the
field into the stand, smacked his critic
and then took a poke alta cop.
Aggravating as may be the perver-
sity of spectators and players. it is
mild in comparison with kicked
football. The "oblate spheroid" fol-
lows no sensible rules when it flies
through the air or bounds along the
ground.
Some years ago Santa Clara.
coached by Clipper" Smith, gave
one of its greatest exhibitions against
its bitter University of California
rival. Until late in the game the
Broncos held their highly-touted foe.
With a few minutes remaining and
the ball on CALIFORNIA; thirty-nine-
yard line, Santa Clara man punted.
Any respectable kick would have
put the ball deep into California ter
ritory to clinch a tie and given Santa
Clara a tremendous moral victory.
But the pigskin went straight up,
landed behind the kicker and rolled
twenty-four yards in the wrong direc-
ton. California, which should have
been back somewhere in the vicinity
of its own goal, recovered on Santa
Clara's thirty-seven-yard mark and
went on to score a 6 to O victory.
As the tossing game becomes more
and more popular, passes likewise in
crease the number of headache-pro-
ducing plays for the coaches. Probably
one of the most remarkable was that
which occurred in the game between
Colorado College and Colorado Teach
ers some seasons ago. With few
minutes to play and his team touch
down behind, Pete Butler of the
Teachers tossed long pass. His effort
looked like a failure when an alert
opponent batted the ball into the air,
but Butler. coming down the field,
caught it himself and continued on
his way for a touchdown.
Colorado Colleges coach went home
to tear his hair - and tear out the
pages on pass defense from his foot
ball textbooks.

~ ~ IGNALS!'

rDNhLo!
In traditional Notre Dame
~ style Bob Saggau barked
out the string of figures. The backs
shifted, the ball was snapped and the
two lines crashed together.
1t was in last falls bitterly-fought
battle with Illinois, Neither team had
scored Coach Layden of Notre Dame
had rushed Saggau sensational soph-
omore quarterback - into the lineup,
hoping that he might pep up Notrc
Danes attack.
Saggau's first signal called for re-
verse around one of the flanks. Some
where. however, things went wrong.
He suddenly found himself holding
the ball behind the line of scrlmmage
- totally deserted by interference
and blockers, all of whom had swung
around the end, as per signal. The
Illinois tacklers came rushing in for
the kill. Saggau tucked the ball under
his arm and faded back in selfdefense.
1t looked impossible for Notre Dame
to escape a terrific yardage loss in mid
field when suddenly he became aware
Of shouting player. wildly waving
his arms in the end zone
1t was Earl Brown Notre Dame
end There was nothing else to do. SO
Saggau threw him the ball. Brown
caught it, hugged it to his bosom and
sat down for touchdown that broke
the heart of Bob Zuppke's Illini.
Everyone gave me credit for being
a smart coach and sending in quar-
terback with sure-fire touchdown
play" Coach Layden declared after
ward "As matter of fact we scored
because someone had made amlstake."
Errors - with or without such for
tunate results - are an expected part
of the sport. So are long runs, stub
born defenses. complicated passes and
tricky formations. But when punts 60
backward. when runners carry the ball
in the wrong direction, when Gus
toners start mixing III plays, IS 1t any
wonder that by the first of December
the average coach is a fit candidate for
a seat in the daffy academy:

The hero of the occasion (when he
sobered up) was accorded SO much
publicity that no season since then
has been complete without an imitator.
A similar volunteer almost caused
riot in a recent South Carolina Citadel
contest when he dashed out at the
twenty-yard line and brought down a
South Carolina runner as he sped for
the goal with clear field ahead. The
referee allowed the touchdown at
Citadel's insistence, but police had to
escort the customer from the premises
to prevent his being massacred.
Another volunteer lined up with
Notre Danes Irish in the Army
game at New York year ago, and
with $4,000 spectators looking on he
eluded half dozen police who came
to put him out.
He was the fastest and shiftiest
man on the field that afternoon"
commented Coach Layden.
