CLUB
UCLA gets the long and loud
cheers.
However, in the Midwest, Michi
gan State’s Spartans are strongly
boosted for the top spot. Opposing
coaches are generous in their
praise of the Spartans, who will
represent the Big Ten in the Rose
Bowl game against UCLA. Minne
sota Coach Murray Warmath says
he has seen teams with one or two
faster backs, but for 11 men who
move, Michigan State is the finest
he has watched.
Dick Gallagher, former Santa
Clara and Cleveland Browns’ coach
who now scouts for the Browns, is
another observer high on the Spar
tans. “Michigan State,” he says,
“has superlative speed and depth.
Its a team with an exceptional
variety to its offense and as a re
sult is tough on the defense.”
BEEF TRUST TAKES OVER
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL
There’s a “prime beef” boom in
professional football these days,
according to statistics tabulated on
the average weights of players in
this league. The quest goes on year
after y^ar for larger men.
The average weight of the Chi
cago Bears forward wall, for ex
ample, has gone up 14 pounds
since 1941. In prewar football, says
the Sporting News, 220 pounds was
a nice size for a tackle. Today, 225
pounds is regarded as rather light.
The pros have many linemen of
250 or better.
That means big men who can
move, because weight without
speed doesn’t pay off in the Na
tional Football League. Back in
1947, Paul Brown’s line at Cleve
land aveVaged 216 pounds. The line
today is a hefty 232.
