Harry Grayson, NEA sports editor, singes the ears of Mark Anson, sports writer for the Northwestern University newspaper, in a story written a few days ago. Anson is the boy who took the Wildcat linemen to task for the failure of the team this fall and charged that they refused to block for Bill De Correvont and other highly publicized Northwestern backs. Grayson says that if Anson had ever played football he would know that not even one lineman, let alone all of them, would refuse to block.

His contention is that the player's personal pride would prevent him from doing otherwise and that he would block from force of habit if nothing else. Another point brought out was that Coach Lynn Waldorf would oacher.
