Pop Warner to Be Honored As 1st ‘Coach of All Years’

By LAWRENCE ROBINSON

GLENN S8COBEY (POP) WARNER, fabulous in football for 60 years, is announced today as first Coach of All-the-Years. At the age of 80, in quiet retirement at his home in Palo Alto, Cal, the famed genius of the single and double wing was a natural to be chosen by the blue ribbon panel. ” = a LIKE CHUCK TAYLOR of Stanford, named 17th annual Coach of the Year a week ago today, Warner will receive a bronze plaque. It will be preysented to the patriarch at the Coach dinner in Cincinnati Jan. 10 at the same time Taylor receives his trophy. The plaque will clarion the reasons for rewarding Pop, first to receive this unique new homage to a retired coach for his great contribution to football. The idea is Lou Little's, and the Columbia coach joined with Joe Williams, Secripps-Howard columnist, and members of the AFCA Coach-of-the-Year Committee to select Warner. The limited to living

coaches now retired. Of all the renowned oldsters, Warner wag a natural. He was tops in every standard and category. ” n ” NO MAN has had more profound effect on the strategy and development of modern football. He is credited with devising both the single and double wing formations. He first introduced the spiral forward pass, the pull-out linemen, short reverses and deep reverses with meticulous timing and dozens of other dazzling stratagems. . 8. .84. 8 WARNER was a product of the little western New York hamlet of Springville. He was graduated from Cornell with an LL.B. in 1894 after playing guard for three years and captaining the eleven in his senior vear, : After a brief stay at Towa State, Pop accepted a job at Georgia. Two years there, he then moved to his Alma Mater and two years later changed again — to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School near Philadelphia. The names of hig. Carlisle players even today, 40 to 50 years later, still are bywords Thorpe, Mount Pleasant, WauDillon, Guyon, Hudson.

Pop to become a master strategist. He had to devise tricks— “tinkering,” he called {t—to

keep abreast of the big teams on the Carlisle schedule. n 2 ” IT WAS there he came up with the single wing formation in 1911, which he made famous by beating Dartmouth at the Polo Grounds in 1913. He also thought up the double wing, but it wasn't until 1925 that he went all out with it. That was the day Ernie Nevers, Stanford fullback, gained more yards than all the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl, but the Horsemen won ghe game, : For 30 years sthe single wing was fundamental in football and universally used. During those years, from Carlisle te Pitt to Stanford and finally to Temple, Pop Warner still kept ahead of his imitators, always with something new and something different. -

= n ” WARNER ALWAYS stalked at the head of the paradz2, a con troversial figure, outspoken, artful and newsworthy, For years he lured headlines by declaring Nevers to be superior to Thorpe, because *“Nevers tried harder.” Once he even put Dave Smukler, his fullback at Templé from 1934 through 1936, ahead of both. But in the end it was Thorpe, the man “who played for fun

his painting-——~which helped to pay his way through Cornell, oy ” »n HE STILL keeps atop the game. Andy Kerr, once an aid to Warner (and who went ahead of Pop in 1923 to pave the way for two years for Warner’s shift from Pitt to Stanford), has a favorite story. Andy, during one of his EastWest game trips, went out to visit Warner, to tell him. the East team was going to turn to the T formation. Warner

pleaded, threatened, cajoled and | blustered, trying to get Andy

to change his mind, but finally Andy sadly put on his hat and coat, certain he had made an enemy of his one time boss. Seeing him ready to go, Pop drew a fistful of carefully mapped formations from his pocket, saying: “Okay, Andy. TI see. I can't change vou. So here is the entire T formation stuff I wdrKed out just for you.” Only a great figure such as Pop Warner could get the new Coach of ALL-the-Years trophy from such other candidates as Bob Zuppke, Bernie Bierman, Kerr himself, Wally Wade, Matty Bell, Dana Bible, Biff Jones and a number of others. Their chance may come in the future. Right now its three cheers and a loud hurray for Pop.
