The Sporting News, national
baseball weekly, departed from
its usual custom by selecting two
freshman baseball players as
rockies of the year.

Louis Browns slugging outfielder
and Don Newcombe, the brilliant
Brooklyn Dodgers hurler.
The Sports News, which US
nally chooses only one rookie for
the honor, specified Sievers for
the American League and New
combe for the National. The
choices were based on a poll OF
baseball writers.

we are equally distributed left

means the defense can't overshift

Il addition we can use three

Blocking is easier to teach and
learn T teams use the high block

play instead Of knocking him down
This leaves the blocker on his
feet SO he can get down-feild and
hit somebody else And because
the blocking in the line is high,
the quarterback's manipulations
with the ball are hidden from the
defense and deception is aided
