WHY ILLINOIS "CLEANED UP" THIS SEASON.
The riproaning, slashing, smashing, ground devouring half -back .of the
Illinois team, Red Grange, is a small town iceman. That is what he does in Wheaton
Illinois, during his summer vacation away from the University. He is, agree papers,
as far east as the Boston Post "all America stuff11 as sure as fate. This twenty two
year old chamoion recently scored four touchdowns in twelve minutes against I«£ichigp.ii
Big Ten champion last year, and then just for good measure reeled off a few fifty
and forty five yard runs, in’ the last quarter, and scored another touchdown. At the
kick-off he raced the length of the field a run of 100 yards for thefirst touchdown
According to Spaulding^ Rule Book, this has only been recorded eleven times in the
fifty-year history of the came. Grange runs with a long stride making it practicali
impossible for a tackier to grab both feet at the same time. He does not twist but
merely sidesteps the tacklers swaying his hips to avoid their finders putting such
power into his steps as to enable him to tea.r himself loose from the hands which do
not find him.
PFPRY DUNCAN HAUGHTON who died"with his cleats on" a month ago
the greatest football coach in history. He pulled Harvard's team cut
in 1908, when "Fight fiercely Harvard" had become a stock satirical ]
was perhaps
of the muck
>ke . At the
time of his
riioce'-1 its
death he was coaching the Columbia team which two days previously had
ay to a 27 - 3 victor" ever Williams, the conqueror ef Cornell.
During his regime Haughton developed a scientific scouting organization* He emph:- *•
sized the principle of using the punt as an offensive weapon as well as a defensive
shield, and he never faildd to develop a good kicker* Another of his doctrines was
that the quarterback was the team's strategist and should be protected from punish-*
ment which might in a hard game impede his clear thinking* Conservation of a tea
energy with the ball in its fcxscn own territory and a hard drive behind smashing
interference with the ball in the eneiry's half of the field was another of his fun«
damental precepts. The following remark of the All American back "Talk" Hardwick
(Harvard) tells half the story of Haughton's system:- If P.D.had the team on the
edge of a sixty foot cliff and called out the order "jump", we would have jumped *
we would have fe].t that it was necessary and that somehow he would have caught us
before we cou?..d hurt ourselves"* Haughton possessed that quintessence of blazing
leadership that is the gift of fewr men in any generation* That it is a much bigger
thing than football is shoton bv comments of men like Bishop Lawrence of kss., $res
ident Butler of Columbia and Dean Briggs of Harvard.
