Friday, -Nov. 4. llotf AS OF TODAY By Lyall Smith Fritz! Leave It to the QBs DETROIT FREE PRESS Ki v. as I was concerned. But he promptly gained an ally with his premise that collegiate football isn't what it used to be now that every play is sent in from the bench by panting messenger.

Not that coaches haven't tried to direct potential touchdown traffic from the sidelines before. They have. But they always faced a few options. They stood the chance of having an official catch them in such illegal activity and penalize them. There was the chance that their own team might misinterpret such signals or blithely ignore them.

There also was the chance that an alert opposition might steal those same signals and turn them against the sender. Like a year ago in the Illinois-Northwestern same-The wild-card deal wasn't operating then. But coach Ara Parseghian of Northwestern was away ahead of the rulemakers. He had his own system. At least he thought it was his own.

THAT LONE VOICE YOU HEAR in the wilderness belongs to Fritz Crisler, ex-coach turned athletic director and interested spectator of collegiate football especially Michigan's. Fritz reared up the other noon with the strident cry that football ain't what it used to be. "What has happened to inventive minds of coaches like Bob Zuppke and Francis Schmidt?" he demanded. Expecting no answer, and getting none, he proceeded on the lonely tack that rulemakers and modern scientific doo-dads have eliminated the trick plays, the surprises from the game. And as for the current practice of sending in every play from the sidelines, under the so-called "wild-card" substitution gimmick, he frowns on that, too.

"Might as well have the coach go out on the field and get into the huddle on every play," he grumbled. Until right then Crisler was on his own as far the right shoulder meant another. He had the entire routine down pat and so did his quarterback out on the field. And for that matter so did Illinois. Scouts had been watching Ara go through his routine in previous games.

They not only diagrammed Northwestern's plays but tied them to his signals. The final score was Illinois 28, Northwestern 0. I'NDKK TI1K current setup whereby the coach can legally call every play and send it in without fear of having it stolen by the opposition, the game itself simply has to be more dull. The quarterback becomes an automaton. He knows it.
