...Sample form sheet, from Scripps-Howard Correspondent Jack Steele: "Goldwater still the front runner. . . Rocke feller's chances seem to have been helped little, if any, by the sag in Goldwater's fortunes. . . Nixon has gained most on the surface, but has stirred little enthusiasm among party pros." As for Scranton and Ambassador Lodge, Steele saw "no sign that either has stirred masses of voters...

He revived the T-formation, invented the man-in-motion initiated the use of spread ends. He was the first coach to use movies regularly for spotting mistakes and plotting strategy. ("They ran the same play 30 times, without saying a word," marveled an onlooker at one early Chica go screening session. "Finally someone said, 'It's the goddamned guard,' and the meeting was over...
