...jerseys, trying to spin blockers aside and clear a path to the ballcarrier. They have, in fact, become so adept at slipping blocks that not even the punter, standing 15 yds. back of the line of scrimmage, is safe any more. Kickers who used to count on 1.5 sec. to get the ball away now find that they must boot it within 1.2 sec.; this season in the N.F.L., no fewer than ten punts and 28 field-goal attempts have been deflected by onrushing defenders...

...look for strength and speed-for backs who are strong enough to come up and make the tackle on running plays and fast enough to stay with the flankers." Smith and Hazelton fill that bill. Smith has "the quickness of a cat," has been clocked in 9.7 sec. for the 100; Hazelton is a 9.6-sec. sprinter and "just loves...
