Don Whitehead Reports on How Women Watch Football 15 KNOXVILLE TENN 37901 FRIDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 191971 Congress Roundup Tax Gut Jim McDonald assistant athletic director at the University of Tennessee is not aware of the fact to this minute that he was indirectly responsible for quite a scene at our house last week It all began when I picked up The News-Sentinel after dinner and saw a picture of Jim drawing a football diagram on a blackboard The cutlines under the picture said and I quote: assistant athletic director at UT explains the basics of football to Mrs Bob Overholt new member of the West Knoxville Garden Club Mr McDonald discussed A Woman Should Watch A Football Game The wording of the cutlines caught my eye more than anything else I had never considered the possibility that a woman watches a football game differently than a man It was just one of those things that never occurred to me to ask because I had assumed men and women watched football in the same way After I read the cutlines I said toMiz does a woman watch a football game?" -1 She looked up from her book with sur-: prise and said "Are you kidding?" I said "I'm not kidding serious I repeat: How do you watch football?" She put- down the book and said "If not kidding tell you" And then she launched into this explanation which I suppose I should have expected from a woman who follows every game shown on television! I do not have the space to give the full lecture but pass on the highlights "Well" she said "most people spend too much time watching the quarterback The thing to do first is watch the defensive front four who are always called Purple People Eat- ers or some such name They are likely to be the key to whether or not the opposing team is going to be able to carry out its game plan "Everyone knows that the objectives of an offense are twofold: To establish a ground game and to control the ball If you establish a ground game then your passing attack will work and if your passing attack works you've got a better chance to establish a ground game "Once the ground game is established you can control the ball This mean the offense will score touchdowns but it reduces the chances of the other team scoring "Then watch the linebackers to see if they have great lateral speed A linebacker -can be relatively slow and yet have remarkable lateral speed The really good ones sniff out plays Sometimes you can actually see them sniffing even though they wear face masks Mike Lucci of the Lions is a great snifferouter "I particularly enjoy watching rookie cor-1 nerbacks to see how they are playing against the veteran flankers and how they react to running plays The quarterbacks are always testing rookie coraerbacks when they are not testing rookie tackles "Next I keep an eye on the offensive guards They are unsung but their blocking is important to establishing a ground game that will make the passing game work And then I watch the creases in a zone defense where the quarterbacks try to throw the ball the creases "And finally I like to watch the underrated players There 'are always at least two underrated players in a game and Howard Cosell is very good at spotting them The underrated players very often win the At this point she said that answer your question?" I said "Yes it And now I know how a at least my watches a football game By DAN THOMASSON WASHINGTONIAN ovT 9ThT Nixon anti-inflation tax package clearly was in jeopardy today as all-out political warfare broke out in the Sen- ate over proposed public funding of next year's presi- dential election campaign KTA Declines To Cut Fares for Elderly Bearden Reroute To Serve Northshore Paper Mill Rd The Knoxville Transit Authority declined to take action today on a request by senior citizens for a reduction in bus fare Hugh Sanford KTA chairman said a survey was made of 15 cities which had given reductions to senior citizens In almost every case Mr Sanford said the reduction created a serious reduction in income for the transit service' He also said the reduction resulted in no signification increase in use by senior citizens Mr Sanford pointed out the Knoxville Transit Corp is already being subsidized by the city and he said any reduction in fares for special interest groups whould be presented to City Council for a final decision Protest Planned Mrs Tom Fowler of the National Council of Senior Citizens indicated the matter will be taken to' council as soon as her group gathers further statistics on cities- that do offer fare reductions to senior citizens KTC Manager Don Calcote reported a $54000 deficit for the company so far this year and predicted the deficit would go to $80000 ty the end of the year Mr Calcote said KTC has lost an average of 8 per cent of its riders since last year primarily due to the fare increase which went into effect last May Mr Calcote also said use fell off sharply during September and October usually good months because of traffic prob- lems created by construction on Top Administration sources raised the possibility id a presidential veto of the tax package if majority Democrats in Congress succeed in adding an hcroin iattle a us minion mr- amendment that would help frj nance presidential candidates by tt House sct committee on Crime Tha program would permit the Fed-from income tax revenues I oral Government to contract with pharmo- Ti amendment anonsfired hv couticol companies to pay 90 par cant af tha i no amenameni sponsurca oy aomant coin of such a drug Sen John Pas to re (D-RI)i monetary a tormoi prapMai to do would permit taxpayers to indi-j wkewftt cate on their returns whether! they wanted the Government to wntion epoom the mu introduced by give $1 of their taxes to presi- nd taeott dential candidates It is estimated that the Republican and Democratic presiden- 52 votes and 'will keep them no matter how long the Republi- cans stall In other action in Congress: appraoriate S3S01 million New Sentinel Staff Photo GASP IS RIGHT Holding a sooty sample from a particulate measuring apparatus at Birmingham is Cameron McDonald of the Greater Birmingham Alliance To Stop Pollution (GASP) The air pollution evidence is one of the reasons why a US district judge ordered 23 Birmingham plants closed To Your Good Health by George Thosteson MD Wind Lends a Hand Birmingham Air Crisis Is Eased An assist from the weather- man and stringent steps by the Fede Government eased the pollution crisis in Birmingham Ala and the East ment's court action in Birmingham was prompted largely by: crSmmaleTrX the intransigence of US Steel provision would stay in the tax1 of Agriculture Corp bill when it goes to Senate-1 Butz 62 a Purdue University Steel did nothing al- House conference to iron out dif- dean who served as an assistant ferences to Agriculture Secretary Ezra The Administration sources Taft Benson in the 1950s was votes to pass the amendment and House Demo Agriculture Committee that Earl Butz should not be confirmed as the new secretary death of the fetus Its presence may cause a miscarriage anyway but if it does not it will be expelled at the time of delivery Deformity of the baby is nOt likely DEAR DR THOSTESON: I would like to know more about in meat etc in a diet for gout I like oxtail soup After it is cooked we let it chill and then remove all the grease Am I getting rid of the purine content?
