Unitas then an obscure and unknown pro hopeful came off the Bench and ran the Colts in sensational style until he broke a couple of ribs in a pileup last Sun Day. Now Shaw has his second Hance. The kid from Oregon is a quiet fellow and has been reluctant to talk about the situation. But Shaw did say that no player liked to sit on the Bench and added that he was anxious to make Good and not. Let the team Down when an Opportunity to play arose. Hit on 15 of 19 Shaw has t played enough this year to rank in the statistics but his figures Are impressive. He has completed 15 of 19 passes for a phenomenal average of 78.9 percent. Three of Shaw s passes were for touchdowns after he went in late in the second Quarter against Green Bay. Shaw typically Dis missed this with the remark that he had a Cushion of 28 Points to work on when he went in. Baltimore rooters believe he will make Good. Shaw definitely is no front runner As his own remark might seem to imply. Won six straight for another the Colts have racked up six victories in a Row and a team that is rolling and has that championship feel is Hardtop Stop. Incidentally the league has ruled that Unitas 21-game touch Down pass Streak is still alive and that he can try to lengthen it when his ribs heal.

Donelli dropped those observations thursday at the Lions weekly press luncheon. Then he went on to observe that Ivy league football is the most imaginative of All and that pro football is the most stereotyped and stable both on offence and defense. Cites previous seasons most of the change has taken place in the last two years Don Elli said. Ball control was the thing. A conglomeration of de lenses designed to Stop certain types of offences was being used. Some coaches even said defense was what really counted the most. Most coaches were set in their ways. You would t see a balanced line Man experimenting with an unbalanced line for instance. Now look at it. The Ball control Guys Are trying to find ways to spice up the offence. They re using All kinds of men in motion flanker situations so backs and unbalanced lines. The trend in t toward a wide open passing game but they re trying to add things and to open it up a Ivy varies most the Grey haired lion coach has plenty of opportunities to watch varied offences. The other Loam usually has the Ball when Colum Bia plays. Ill say the Ivy league has More imaginative offences than any other conference in the United continued. Princeton uses the single Wing but no More like the old Type than i m like the Man in the Moon. Dart Mouth Columbia s next opponent has its v formation but goes into the Slot to and double Slot. Harvard started the Slot a year ago but now has combined it with a conventional to with flankers and in unbalanced line. Columbia just stumbles Penn uses the t with an unbalanced line Cornell the pro Type Slot and Yale More of a Power t. Brown uses a straight to but with a variety of cycles of he paused momentarily and added and Columbia just stumbles from one idea to As for defences Donelli con tended that it s impossible to set up a variety for each Type of at tack when teams can switch swiftly from one offence to another. As a result most coaches Are using the so called Oklahoma 5-4 alignment or a 6-1. The players can make adjust ments readily from these said Buff. If a flanker is sent out a linebacker moves Over to cover him or the deep defense revolves so that one Corner Man becomes an end. They re doing very Little to try to confuse or confound Tho How about the pros they All have about the same formations and do about the same thins.
