This could be the year college
football abandons the tradi-
tional running game and begins
a new era of wide-open offense
Already two of the Nations
top coaches-Bud Wilkinson of
Oklahoma and Red Blaik of
Army-have started the swing.
Both were successful in their
openers, so other coaches are
certain to follow the pattern.
The new two-point CONVEX
sion rule has nothing to do with
the change. Rather, it was a
case Of tightly packed defenses
snagging Information attacks.
Something had to be done about
it and this seems to be the
answer.
The one absolute essential
to this new" idea-it's really
as old as the game-is a good
passer. He is the one who must
keep the opposition off guard
He must force the defense to
spread, not knowing whether
there will be a pass or run.
Trend Begins Officially

have made some attempt to
shake OF the crushing effects
of the eight-man line by using
