Sport: The Man Who Wasn’t There

After ripping off tackle on a 53-yard sprint a fortnight ago, Yale’s Levi Jackson modestly confessed he couldn’t have done it “if Columbia’s right tackle had not been blocked out of the play.” Last week, in studying the movies of the game (which Yale won 33-7), Columbia Coach Lou Little found out that Halfback Jackson was not quite right. The real explanation: in one of Columbia’s modern, high-‘frequency substitutions, only ten Columbia men had trotted on to the field. Columbia’s right tackle, when Jackson got away on his run, was sitting on the bench.
