Subject: RE: Looking for an OLD football poem
The following gem was used as an introduction in a letter to the Football Writers o f America. "Ballad of the T Formation. " ( To the tune of "McNamara's Band." ) "Ah , the ends they crash and the tackles smash and the guards they submarine, "Th e halfbacks lunge, the fullbacks plunge, the center stoops between, "But, lo, the cerebral quarterback, standing all serene, "He merely gives the ball away and keeps his jersey clean." —Football News. ***********************************
I'm all buggered up here. Sorry about the mess but I want to make sure I don't lose this. It is from The Technique, Atlanta, Georgia, p.11, but because it's some sort of pdf(?) file I can't link to it.
