Show McLemore Says Coach Attacks Huddle System By HENRT MoLEMORE LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17 (UP) Hearing that Harry Stuhldreher was In town and remembering that h u - " Tour Hiri-men," Hiri-men," I naturally went out to the Santa Anita track to look for him. I found him there, In a huddle, and what do you suppose he was talking about In the huddle? He was talking about how much football foot-ball would benefit, both as something some-thing to play and something to watch If the huddle were abolished. abol-ished. Stuhldreher, whose record at Notre Dame In the early twenties established him as one of the greatest great-est quarterbacks of all time, and who now coaches at Wisconsin, believes the huddle has no more place In the modern game than the flying wedge and tackles with moustaches and chrysanthemum haircuts. "Coaches who argue for the huddle hud-dle system of calling signals will tell you that the huddle simplifies matters, and that eliminates any interference by the roar of the crowd," Stuhldreher says. "But that Isn't true. As a matter of fact, the huddle complicates matters, mat-ters, offering, as it does, the opportunity oppor-tunity for all 11 players to suggest sug-gest the proper play. As for the crowd drowning out the quarterback's quarter-back's voice, well, I've played before be-fore big and noisy crowds and never once was bothered in any way." |
