...Last week," Restic said, "our tackling was atrocious. It looked like they (the Tiger linemen) blocked us out, but they didn't even block right." The same tackles, in other words, that were made against Dartmouth were simply missed against Princeton. It was that simple...
Except for the unknown status of injured defensive linemen Charley Kaye, Steve Kaseta and Russ Savage, all the signs bode well for Restic's troops. The word around Soldier's Field is that even practice went exceedingly well this week...
...news from Providence last month was not good. Among the freshman hopefuls for next year's Brown football team are more than 20 would be linemen of the 6-ft. 3-in. 230-lb. variety, the Brown Daily Herald reported.

It began in the season's opening game, when Safetyman George Atkinson decked Pittsburgh Receiver Lynn Swann, leaving Swann with a concussion. Steeler Coach Chuck Noll charged Atkinson with foul play, speaking darkly...
