social Ion make up the committee,
If Griffin can defeat Thomaston,
who tied Rockmart last Friday, the
Gold, Wave would have a cinch for
the title that is if tltc title is de- I
rided on total number of league
", ictories.
Griffin plays more conference
came , than anv of the top clubs In
the league^ Gainesville, whu has
only its tie with Griffin to mar its
pjayg .six NGFA games. Rock
mart, also with one tie, plays only
five games 'which is the minimum
required. Griffin plays eight league
,antes. Brcriicn apparently Is. out
pt the picture with only three len
games.
An all important league game is
’s Gold Wave
For College Park
The Griffin High Gold Wave
j held its first rough workout Mon
| <liiy afternoon since the Decatur
! game in preparation for the game
! Friday night with College Park
there.
The itrst string stayed on de
fense Monday afternoon against
plays run by second and third
.•'ringers. Coach Jim Cavan said
the team was looking like its old
self and hoped it would be back at
the. same peak for the Thomaston
gnme as it Was for Decatur.
Pile Terns looked especially good
on defense as did Ru.v Barron. Bar
ron was in at guard for Zach
; Hayes Ilf. who is injured. Cavan
Hayes should be ready to go
, ngainst Thomaston. Bobby Dunn,
half back also is taking it easy
j with a bad leg.
Cavan has slated more rough
work this week for the team. Col
i lege Park will not be the toughest
team the Gold Wave has faced but
j | will give them a better gamp than
‘trme e:;pect, especially it their full
back. Ne w some, is ready to go.

have one league game left with Ofc

Even LaGrange cannot be left en
lively out of the picture If all

and LaGrange goes the rest of the
season with only its one loss then
it would be a four way tie.
The answer to the confusing pro

BY BOB HIGGINS
Penn State Coach
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - (NEA)
Penn State scored against Ford
ham at the Polo Grounds. Oct. 11,
w ith the pass play shown in the ac
company in| diagram It wasn’t
, 75-0, but
| .ceded as tltc score was
1 the play consistently has been a
■
winning one for the Nittany Lions.
It has been called Bob Higgins’
dream play because it was design
ed especially for Colgate in 1942,
| and produced a touchdown the first
time it was tried.
The play is run from the single
wing, with an unbalanced line to
the rgiht. The center passes
rectlv to the left halfback, pulls
I out and takes the opposing end
ns he comes around.
I The left halfback drops back,
and both ends go down field from
six to eight yards and button hook.
• The blocking in the line is con
! ventional except lor the right
j tackle.
! The quarterback goes out into
the flat in case both ends should
be covered. The fullback takes the
right end as he comes in.
| The passer usually finds
.short or left end open, passes
' : sharply to him, while the right
\ halfback barrels around and
his approach to pass in front of
I the receiver and put a block on
the defenders who are closing in.
I Against Fordham, the receiver
was end Dennie Hoggard. the left
halfback Bill Luther and the right
halfback Wally Triplett.
The latter was the key man in
the play. *
If his timing had been off and
his blocking ineffective, the play
would have gained little.
