Holding the runner on base is a figura-
tive strategy, though there have been
cases where the first baseman (who usual-
ly does most of the "holding") has sur-
reptitiously fingered the runner, out of
view of the umpire, to slow down his
takeoff.
There's a dual responsibility, for both
the pitcher and the fielder, in keeping a
runner close to the bag. Too often catchers
have been unfairly blamed for stolen bases
when actually the pitcher wasn't paying
enough attention to the business of holding
the runner on base Lefthanders, of course,
have a natural advantage because they 're
looking right at the runner. while the

in,” Devaney said.
Plunkett said "I just thought that he
ought to have a chance because he'd
played so little. After all, there isn’t any
difference between us.”
So Hixson, a low draft choice of the
Kansas City Chiefs, is summoned off
the sideline.
He converts a crucial third down and
10-yard situation with a 22-yard pass to
J.D. Hill of Arizona State to the East 23.
The time is waning. Hixson drifts back
and finds Nebraska's Orduna alone
over the middle. Hixson wings the ball
and Orduna grabs it on the 17 and runs
over three tacklers like a Mac truck on
his determined flight to the end zone.
Thirty-one seconds show on the clock.
Orduna wins the most valuable
player award. Hixson gets plaudits.
“I thought Hixson’s performance was
one of the finest jobs of clutch quar-
terbacking that I’ve ever seen,” said
Devaney. “On the winning touchdown,
he went to Orduna, who was a sec-
ondary receiver.”
Hixson, who will be fighting for a job
with the Kansas City Chiefs, said “I
didn't have any special instructions
when I went in. I was thinking of getting
two first downs to get within field goal
range.”
LUBBOCK, Tex. (AP) - Imagine
how Chuck Hixson felt if you will.
The Southern Methodist ace is a
backup quarterback to Heisman
Trophy winner Jim Plunkett of Stan-
ford. Plunkett is the No. 1 draft choice
for 1970 in all of professional football.
And after a slow start, Plunkett is
sizzling Saturday night in the 11th
annual Coaches All-American Football
Game.
Trailing 21-7 to the underdog East,
Plunkett hurls a 34-yard touchdown
pass to Otto Stowe of Iowa State, directs
a drive climaxed by Joe Orduna’s 17-
yard run and sneaks over from a yard
out for a 19-point third period and a 26-
21 West lead.
The East rallied with Alabama's
Scott Hunter going three-yards for a
touchdown and a 28-26 lead with 2:14
left.
Hixson is kneeling on the sidelines.
He has played only one series in the
first half although he holds numerous
NCAA passing records. It’s obviously
Plunkett’s game, do or die.
Or is if
West Coach Bob Devaney and Plunkett
are in conference on the sidelines.
We were debating who to go with
and Plunkett said that he'd played a lot
and Chuck hadn't so why not put him

righthander has to peek over his left

doesn't stake out too much of a lead.
Whitey Ford was a master at masking
his move to pitch and flipping over to first
instead to trap the runner
There's also a technique for making sure
a runner on second base doesn't get too
far down the line to third. When Alvin
Dark and Eddie Stanky were the second
base combo for the Giants, they had the
timing down pat to break for the bag be-
hind the runner and take the pitcher's
throw tor the pickoff, with an actual
sequence of seconds allotted for the play.
