Twelfth player proposed on team
UDK-FIRST WITH CAMPUS NEWS
NEW YORK—With the recent numerous injuries to the firststring pro quarterback—the most indispensable man on the football field—indicating particular vulnerability, a unique proposal to provide much-needed protection for a quarterback is submitted to the game's rule-makers in an editorial in the current issue of Sport Magazine.
"He would not be allowed to carry the ball, he would not be eligible to receive passes, he would not be able to block for the running backs, he would not even be allowed to cross the line of scrimmage," continue the Sport editors.
"WE PROPOSE that the offense be allowed to play with a 12th man." say the editors of Sport. "He would be a fifth back whose sole job, would be to protect the quarterback."
"His only duty would be to protect the quarterback. He would pick up blitzers, stay with the quarterback if the quarterback rolled out or scrambled, block up to the line of scrimmage on a quarterback running play. He would be a specialist to end all specialists—an exclusive bodyguard to the most valuable piece of bric-a-brac in pro football."
WHY SHOULD the quarterback rate this special attention? The answer is clear enough, according to the editors of Sport.
"The quarterback is of paramount importance in the spectacle of professional football," they say. "The quarterback is the one player every fan knows, the one player everyone watches, the one every fan honors, or demeans, depending upon his performance. He is the person who has the power to make, or break, his team."
