As long as teams will pass, there is the opportunity for the defense to intercept, or cause a fumble, and gain possession. So why pass? fi'A; u ; citement. It Vi I 4 $ There are good reasons for the college coaches playing It more conservatively. The first and foremost is the lack of the excellent pass receivers, and great passers in the college ranks. ,r h --i-- , Pros Cant Run All the Time The pros dont pass just from choice, either. There are two reasons for passing, even with the club leading. The offensive team of the Minnesota Vikings at 'a drill in the University of Utah stadium Friday had linemen, left to THE FIRST IS the necessity of passing to move the ball, because the huge, mobile defensive alignments cant, be pierced frequently enough to sustain an attack only on the ground. The second reason is the knowledge that no team really can stop its offensive momentum and feel safe. QUITE FREQUENTLY, young quarterbacks will get an early lead and elect to play it safe. But, all of a sudden, thfc momentum is lost and the rivals get a head of steam and, take the play away, and frequently the victory. Ev Shelton lost several chances at national basketball titles by putting the damper on his offense and trying to stall. The same applies to pro football. So the pros have solid thinking, in addition to appealing to the crowd reaction, in throwing the ball, deep in their own territory, with a lead on the scoreboard, in the fourth quarter. WE LIKE THE thinking and hope some day the Colleges will have sufficiently adept receivers to have more confidence in the pass, and that the defensive linemen will become so big and powerful that no coach can order a ground-hog- , the clock for a quarter. attack to eat ball-contr- for Grosscup A Break as one of the four 49er quarterbacks, was a great break for Utahs Lee Grosscup.
