Thumps Georgetown, 27-6 Songin, swung out around his left end and ran down the sideline where he received the ball back from Songin on a long forward pass.

This play was tried three times before connecting, although Clasby was in the clear -all three times. This play I have diagrammed below, and this is the theory of it: lineup was a big lift to the Eagles. He ran his club like the real quarterback he is and threw several passes that kept the Georgetown defense confused. The play that I thought pave the spectators the greatest thrill, was the one where Clasby, after lateralling the ball back to the B. C.

Capt Angie Nicketakis, the end, made a great catch at the goal line.

Clasby's fake to Cannava, then his pretense at sweeping end, were the basic maneuvers. Nicketakis capped the play with a fine catch, since he was well covered by defender John O'Connor. The play put B. C. ahead, 7-0, at the seven minute mark.

Clasby before running for this pass laterals the ball to fullback "Butch" Songin who fakes a run to his right before dropping back to pass. The protection for this pass is as diagrammed. It was my impression that the Boston College team is much improved, both ways offensively and defensively.

If the Eagles continue this type of play I look for one of the great games of the year next week against Wake Forest. The B. C. left half, Cannava, goes in motion to his right and sets. This makes the opposition move over one of their defensive men to compensate for the maneuver.

When the ball is snapped back to Clasby, Cannava breaks down and out. The right end, Capt. Nicketakis, runs down through the safety man and then to his right to draw the secondary over. The left end, Art Spinney, runs down toward the Georgetown right defensive half and then cuts to his right to open up that territory for the delayed pass that fort to engineer a running catch of a Tom Brennan kick at the Georgetown 20. The ball burst through his numbed hands with a smack, and took a couple of bunny hops to the 14, where Ed King, the B.

By HERB KOPF (Former head coach of Manhattan and Boston Yanks.) Despite the score, whicfe indicates a powerful offense, in my opinion the feature of the Boston College-Georgetown game was the defense set up by Coach Denny Myers and the B. C. staff against the famous Georgetown "spread formation." The defense had a weakness, but this went undiscovered and unexploited until it. was too late for Georgetown to capitalize. Thee B.

C. ends, players who normally have no experience in covering secondary areas, were dropping back to pick up and cover the fastest halfbacks and ends on the Georgetown squad. By the time Georgetown had discovered that its receivers were outrunning the E. C. ends in tjiis defense the game was lost.

I had a similar experience with the Boston Yanks against the Redskins a year ago. The Redskins' center, Aldrich, was assigned to cover the fastest man on our team. Bob Davis, on pass defense. Time and again Davis outran the defender. The Georgetown "spread formation" has bucking strength to keep the defense tightened up, and has strong running strength off the tackles and around the ends.

This, coupled with forward passing, make it a well-balanced formation and a difficult one to combat. Boston College used the spac ing of a six-man line defense with the ends dropping back to help defend against Georgetown's passes. The two backers-up, Kennedy and Palladino, lined up, with one behind the other. The two halfbacks were out wide and about seven yards deep. The safety man was 12 yards deep and lined up straight down the middle.

This defensive lineup I have diagrammed below. The tackles and guards were to rush in fast, watching for bucks and rushing the passer. He did it on two plays. He called for Songin on a dive-tackle thrust and this hard hitting Walpole citizen careened 11 yards. Abate, DiPaolo Shine iJernie Lanoue of Brockton then hung one up for the married men on the old dive-tackle to the left driving up and over, and into the end-zone head down.

C. fare with a powerful Wake Forest team next Jack Hagerty of Georgetown, whose team dropped a 6-0 game to the Southerners and a 27-6 game to Boston College replies as follows: "Boston College will have to play better football than they played against up to defeat Wake Forest. "The Wake Forest line Is every bit as good as B. We played them in their first game and their blocking undoubtedly was off. "However, this boy Clasby may pull B.

C. through. It will be a tough football game." Myers' idea here was to make the passer get rid of that ball as soon as possible so that the intended receivers couldn't get too far down the field, and also to make him hurry his throws, which we as coaches know takes a great deal from the accuracy of the passer. The ends dropped off of the line of scrimmage and covered the widest man on the spread wherever he went, the defnsive backfield men and the B. C.

center played zone defense as indicated in the drawing. This defense definitely upset the passing attack. This defense gave the Eagles a great opportunity to intercept Georgetown passes which they did. In playing this zone de fense you do not cover any particular man; you just stay in your own territory and play that ball and break with it as soon as it leaves the passer's hand. This in my way of thinking is a much better defense than the usual man-to-man defense, because all defenders see where the ball is going and more than one has an opportunity to break it up or intercept it- This combination zone and man-to-man defense worked so well that it seemed that Boston College had the ball most of the afternoon and naturally the more you have it, the more scoring chances you have.
