...Headache. Perhaps the luckiest college, football-wise, is California's College of the Pacific. Its head coach, Grand Old Amos Alonzo Stagg, is a firm and vigorous 80 (see cut) and not likely to quit as long as he can hear the thump of foot on football. Among the first-rate coaches who have flocked to the Navy's Preflight Training Schools are: Minnesota's Bernie Bierman (Iowa Preflight), Fordham's Jim Crowley (North Carolina Preflight), Southern Methodist's Matty Bell (Georgia Preflight), Southern California's Sam Barry (St. Mary's Preflight...
...Coach Alonzo Stiner and his Northwest farmers were not the least bit awed by Wallace Wade's Blue Devils. With Don Durdan, a left-handed right halfback, and Bob Dethman, a right-handed left halfback, carrying out clever hocus-pocus despite a drizzling rain, they fooled the Devils, scored the biggest upset since Columbia tripped Stanford in 1934.

Yost (his archrival for 20 years). But the good doctor, who practiced gynecology nine months of the year during his coaching days at Minnesota, conceived many football maneuvers-notably the Minnesota Shift, forerunner of all quick shifts-that played an important part in the development...
This outcome did not necessarily mean that Coach Clark Shaughnessy's Stanford Indians were slipping. Nor did it necessarily mean that Coach Alonzo Stiner's Oregon State team had developed unexpected strength. The game was played in a downpour of rain-such a downpour that running, kicking, passing, handling the ball and above all the nice timing required for the operation of Stanford's T formation, were all matters of luck. The stage for the Beaver touchdown was set by a Stanford fumble on the 14-yd. line...
