Pro* Don’t Dig Slants, Loops
Which Erchlati Gave Them
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sport* Editor
Lo* Angeles — (NEA) —
“Look," Eddie Erdelatz squinted
from Ms perch in the Los Angeles
Coliseum press box, "these pros
all use the same defense, with the
four man line and the linebackers
plumpers. They never change.
"Show me a single play on

Star squad as, a Vavor to me I

shrugged his shoulders, remember-
ing when he was an assistant with
the San Francisco “Forty Niners,
evolving new methods of defen-
sive play.
The slant was ona of them, with
every man on the forward wall

designated direction to throw the j mm fill • n i«

’’Well,” said Erdelatz, the end
tutor, “Leahy uses it at Notre
Lame, and he seems to be doing
all right.”
“In that case," ahemed Shaw,
“maybe you’ve got something
there.”
This was in the old All-Ameri-
ca Conference and for the first
five games of the season the Forty
Niners held the opposition to vir-
tually minus yardage on the
ground.
In the midst of a staff confer-
ence, Shaw picked up the phone.
“Long distance calling for Mr.
Buck Shaw.”
"Buck Tr.'jFrank Leahy. We have
a tough game coming up with

well. What do you use?”
“Why, Frank," answered Shaw,
“we’re using the Notre Dame de-
fense. You know that new stuff
you've put in — slants and loops.”
“Slants and loops?" echoed
Leahy. “I never heard of them!"

Erdelatz quietly sneaked out of
Shaw’s office.
Then there’s the Erdelatz who
coaehed Navy to a strong Oetton
Bowl triumph last year. The issue
was put to him bluntly.
How come Tom Forrestal, the
bid he insisted should be every-
body’s Ail-America quarterback
last year, was such a nothing
when he mingled with the College
All-8tars in August?
“That surprise you?" he par-

Martin is hoping the aeiiel touch
will return to add spice to the
Horned Frog offense. The pass
has been employed sparingly since
Martin took over head coaching
duties in 1953.
Martin's tactics have featured
a strong running game which was
almost always paced the other
Southwest Conference elevens.
But having only Chuck Curtis as
a gifted passer for the 1955 and
1956 campaigns, the air game
has been neglected.
Martin has tagged senior Hunt-
er Enis, the spring training sensa
tion, to supply the aerial touch
this season. The 6-2 Fort Worth
youngster found himself and also
the other quarterback candidates
gained success with the forward
pass.
Martin said,
“We looked pretty good throw-
ing the ball at each other,
know we have better receivers,
but that big loss in the secondary
has me concerned. We just have
to wait and see if that spring
success continues against the op-
ponents this fall.” i
Martin and staff welcomed 20
returning lettermen among the
72 candidates opening day of fall
work. The squad, however, is the
most experienced in the Martin
rAime. The lettermen averaged
<™v 133 minutes of playing time
in 1967;
Tagged the favorite In the al-
ways hectic Southwest Conference
race, Martin thus must turn to
his younger members of the squad
whose bubbling spirit and enthu-
siasm rocked the Frog camp in
the spring. Only 11 seniors are
trying for berths and three should
be in the starting lineup.
