Speaking of the backfleld formation
10 yeara ago Mr. Terry aald three back
always played far back of tha line of th

two when the ball la.abont to be kicked.
They were grouped in a triangle, back
ing one another UP on a caught punt and
ready for pass or a double paea. Only
tackling, above the. watat wa allowed.
