YOU BE THE
QUARTERBACK
Question on Page Alp
Answer

No. 4. On man-fOr-man, de-
fender has trouble defending
against running game because
he dares not commit himself
too fast lest receiver get be-
hind him for touchdown. Zone
is strong against long pass
since secondary drops back
quickly, covering Sideline to
sideline. But this weakens hook
pass area. The definiteness oil
assignment on man-for-man
makes it difficult for receiver
to completely lose defender.

days. Most of the fire victims
were oilfield workers who had
been pumping mud into the
we'll in an effort to seal it off.
Forty victims were taken to
a Fort Stockton hospital, 10 to
a Monahans hospital and 10 to
a Pecos hospital. The Depart
ment Of Public Safety said four
other victims were treated
elsewhere. Of those hospital

Estimates of the number
trapped on the floor of the
drilling rig ranged as high as
six.
