Soul-stirring speeches at intermission? not for today's tactician-coaches who use grim skull sessions to make second-half history by ROBERT G. DEINDORFER A THE HALVES LSU coach Paul Dietzel (right) plans strategy for Clemson Sugar Bowl game. game, and the Bears won it, 26-6. Anyone who suggests that football's half-time heroics are confined to the college game might consider the world champion Baltimore Colts' thriller with San Francisco last year. At the half, upstart San Francisco led, 27-7. Coach Weeb Ewbank chalked a message for his players on the blackboard: "We Need Four Touchdowns!" After illus trating a serious San Francisco defect on pass defense, the Colts went out and got the four touchdowns to win, 35-27. While coaches generally emphasize particular plays and sequences at half time, they sometimes dream up an original, or at least a creative variation of an existing play, to exploit some defensive weakness. Red Blaik, who re tired after leading Army through an un defeated season last year, was one of the - master half-time opportunists. Last season, Blaik varied a pass play between halves of the Rice game with score tied, 7-7. Late in the fourth quarter All-American halfback Pete Dawkins ran the route Blaik had outlined, bring ing the Rice safety man up by faking to a stop, then going beyond him. Running wide open, he took a long pass for the winning touchdown. Half-time magic might be nothing more than another pair of shoes. Surely a change of shoes between halves made all the difference for the New York Giants in the classic pro championship in 1934. Trailing the Chicago Bears by a 13-3 count at the half, coach Steve Owen put gym shoes on his backfield men in the hope they'd get traction on an icy field. They did. The Giants went on to win, 30-13. Under the circumstances, one of foot ball's most durable myths is plainly a fraud. College and professional games beyond number are won between the halves, all right, but not because of the coach's pep talk. Modern high-scoring football is much too complicated for windy sentiment THE GOOD FOOD Iff TO BREAK THE LAXATWE DRUG HABIT Kellogg's All-Bran and milk For relief of irregularity due to lack of bulk That there is a safe, good food way to regularity comes as quite a surprise to most laxative drug users. This is understandable. For if, as doctors warn us, some laxative drugs are strong enough to be danger ous and even habit forming, how can a gentle, natural food be more effective? The explanation is simple: a common cause of irregular ity is lack of bulk in the diet. And laxative drugs which contain no bulk cannot cor rect this problem. With Kellogg's All-Bran it is different. All-Bran, as the name suggests, is a good tasting whole bran cereal. Bran, of course, is nature's best bulk-forming food. So just a half-cup of Kellogg's All-Bran with milk every day can provide all of the good bulk food you need for safe, gentle regularity. If you would like to try this safe, good-food way to regularity, eat a bowl of ap petizing Kellogg's All-Bran with milk every day for 10 days. Just be sure you get Kellogg's All-Bran. It's America's favorite whole bran cereal 3 to 1 ! PHOTO CREDITS Page 2: Harriet Arnold, UPI. Page 12: Barrett Gallagher. Pages 4, 5: UPI, Wide World. Page 13: UPI, Wide World.
