Passing Blitz Expected In All America Grid Game
In the All-America game in Buffalo Saturday night the West relies on Gale Sayers’s running to counter a passing blitz. West coach Frank Broyles says Sayers is a superb runner and will likely break loose for a long gain. The West’s signal caller is undecided among Morton Rhome Berry, with Morton leading in edge. East features Notre Dame’s Huarte and Navy’s Staubach pairing with Hayes Snow Jones and Willard to exploit the passing game, while Jim Nance provides ground threat.
