Expects More Intelligent Use of Plays

Mentor of Gophers Thinks Coaches Will Stress Timing and Accuracy.

By BERNIE BIERMAN Minnesota's Head Coach MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.—I disagree with those who contend that the 1937 season will see the passing of the so-called razzle-dazzle stuff from football. I realize that every one has a different idea as to what is meant by razzle-dazzle. My conception of it is a lot of lateral passes, more forward passing, particularly deep in a team’s own territory, and many tricks that once didn't come under the heading of orthodox and sound football. The lateral pass is one of the most effective offensive weapons that has come into the game on a large scale in recent years. It carries a touchdown threat anytime that it is used in the open field—with perfect ball-handling, of course. I feel positive that most coaches will not abandon it. However, I believe that it will be used more intelligently than ever before and that coaches will spend much more time improving the timing and aecuracy of the passes. If a lateral pass is tried at the psychological moment, which means when a ball carrier is about to be tackled and his forward progress stopped, it frequently is good for many additional yards and quite often a touchdown.

Points Out Danger

If throwing forward passes deep in one’s own territory is considered part of the razzle-dazzle, then I say that we won't see much of that form of it. Such dangerous tempted only in the Southwest. Elsewhere certain beaten squads will in the late stages throw passes recklessly, but they are the exceptions. I don’t give Minnesota players | any specific instruction as to where or when not to throw laterals. merely tell them to be on the alert for opportunities afforded by perfect setups for laterals. We overdid the use of this play when we were edged by Northwestern last fall, but it was because the boys tried so hard to come from behind in the last quarter and took many chances. It's the same old way to success in football. First a team must have a sound running attack, which is the backbone of the offense. A team must be proficient at handling forward passes, and must possess defensive qualities. The razzle-dazzle is just a side issue that must be handled intelligently. As a matter of fact this great college game hasn't changed much throughout a long period of years. Look back through history and voull find that champions of every conference were soundly schooled in the same rudiments.

Makes Officiating Harder

Lateral passing has made officiating vastly tougher. Officials have to make many more hair-line decisions and fre-| quently are under fire. They must decide whether the forward progress of the carrier was stopped when he | passed the ball backward. They must match closely that a lateral does not | | develop into a forward as is often charged when a touchdown in a close game results from such a play. | But the lateral makes the game | more thrilling for spectators and | rewards players who not only are alert for opportunities, but who become proficient at handling the pigskin. The lateral isn’t new. It was used when I was in high school, but | it did not become popular until its employment was made a deal safer | by the rule change that made the | ball dead at the point where it wee | fumbled. It was only w too promiscuously into trouble.

Linemen Neglect Blocking

There are three types of laterals | —those used back of the line, down field, and those employed after receiving a kickoff, punt, or pass. Linemen often are too anxious | to hang around back of the carrier | in hope of taking a lateral in- | stead of being ahead of him to do | effective blocking. Players who bungle lateral passes | frequently are those who dislike to | pe tackled and who do not think | very much on the field. Hence, I believe that you'll ee | | as much lateral passing as ever, | put with superior judgment by | the players and with coaches set- | ting up specific setups under which lateral passes can be used.
