North Dakotans Track
Down First Grid Huddle
.By SHERMAN LINDELL
AP Mw.f.tur.)
- Fargo, N.D. Ever wonder
who invented the football hud
dle? In North Dakota, fans cre
dit C. C. (Casey) Finnegan, now
athletic director at North Dako
ta Agricultural college in Fargo.
The story goes back 29 years.
Jack Stewart, then quarterback
on the Grafton, N.D., high
school football team, tells it.
In 1920, Finnegan's Graft
en team faced a tough sched
ule. And his squad averaged
only 150 pounds In the Una '
and 140 In the backfield.
"It was then," said Stewart,
"that Casey originated the hud
dle. He used it to form a more
deceptive attack in the form of
shift and unbalanced line to
offset the weight advantage of
the other teams."
Stewart says the huddle, as
Grafton used it, was designed so
that at times a series of two, or
even three, plays was called in
one meeting. The plays were
then run off without further sig
nals or huddling.
No other team, even in Graf
ton's league, adopted the idea
that year and only a few teams
used It the next year. It wasn't
until several years later that the
idea became universally popu
lar.
Finnegan, now 19, won't say
he was the first man In high
school or college football to
sue the huddle. He says he be
lieves he was "one of the
first"
"At the time we put it into
ae at Grafton," says Stewart,
"there was national mention

Football experts say develop

It helped provide a means to
give the small clever team a
chance against a heavy team.
The huddle also is given credit
for helping take the game out
of the batter and bludgeon class.

Show Top Timing .
(AP New.f.ature.)
Austin, Tex. This football
team has the best sense of tim
ing in Texas.
It's the Texas School for the
Deaf,
"I don't know how they do
it," says Coach Jack Williams.
"Our boys know instinctively
when the ball will be snapped.
It gives them a three-second
jump on opponents."
Rhythm is taught every child
in the deaf school whose stud
ents hold dances, following mu
sical vibrations through the
floor.
This sense of timing in a deaf
youngster helps offset his dis
advantages on the football field,
according to Williams.
"I've never figured it out,"
Coach Williams adds. "I some
times think each player counts
to himself."
The quarterback calls the play
in the huddle with sign lan
guage. But there's no signal af
ter the team lines up over the
ball.
Texas School for the Deaf has
rolled up a great record in re
cent years so good it has trou
ble finding opponents. The Tex
as Interscholastic league will
not admit the school and that
makes it difficult to get games.
"Every state except Texas
permits its deaf school teams to
play in its state athletic asso
ciation," Williams says.
The Austin Silents won the
national deaf school football
title in 1947 under Coach Jess
Hawthorne, rolling up 0 2 3
points to 13 for the opposition.

was getting mighty lonely today
on college football's perfect rec

Six more schools dropped out
of the "creme de la creme" class
over the week-end including
Cornell, Wyoming and Boston

Boston and Wyoming had Bowl

was out to rule the Ivy" league.
The other absentees today
were Valley City, N.D., Teach
