Soul-stirring speeches

A
THE HALVES

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 !
