THERE'S NO SHOW BIZ LIKE NOBISThat young man resting between acts of violence on the cover of this magazine—the one without a visible chain on him—weighs 2. Original Layout. You know about linebackers, of course. They are the evil- looking guys who stand behind those groveling linemen and stare coldly at the opposing milker—sometimes called a quarterback—then try to milk the ball from him. They are the fun lovers who get just plain gleeful when they show their speed to smother a ballcarrier going wide, when they display their agility by spearing a scrambling passer before he can throw, when they get to meet a barging runner head- on, showing their want- to. They are also the players who occasionally get to drop off and intercept passes, then run in such wild- boar fashion that their coach is always pressed to explain at the Monday boosters' luncheon why they aren't playing offense. That shows, finally, that they are the complete athletes; very often the best ones a team has. Good linebackers must be.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen song meaning, lyric interpretation, video and chart position. Bing Crosby was born Harry Lillis Crosby, Jr. They are the soul and heart of a defense, both physically and spiritually. They can never be tired or look tired in either respect, nor can they think tired, for many of them call defensive signals and hope to outguess the milker. They are such people as Dick Butkus, last season's best, and Leroy Jordan, E. Holub, Les Richter and Chuck Bednarik, who were all brilliant in college, and Joe Schmidt, Sam Huff, Bill George and Ray Nitschke, who became brilliant as professionals. And now comes this Tommy Nobis, who is proving for the third straight year that because of his unusual love of the game, his strength, quickness, speed, pride, instinct, coaching and ideal attitude—all of those things—that he may well be the best linebacker in the history of college football. Granted, that is a statement to rattle several plaques in the corridors of the Hall of Fame at Rutgers and encourage a lot of guys—Doak, the Ghost, Old 9. Bronko, Ernie—to maybe wonder what Tommy Nobis would have done with their hip feints and stiff arms. But Darrell Royal knows. He's done it from the first game he started, which was as quick as I could get him into a suit as a sophomore. Players keep getting smarter, stronger and faster, and Tommy is only the latest. Aside from his super ability, he's just one of those trained pigs you love. He'll laugh and jump right in the slop for you. A Texas football immortal is usually any letterman who has been out of school a year, but Nobis, apparently, is for real. He was a two- way all- conference guard as a sophomore in 1. Texas' unbeaten national championship team. That was a team led by Tackle Scott Appleton, who became Lineman of the Year. Well, it was everybody, really, for as Royal says, . The result of all this is that last spring when 2. Southwest were polled to name the greatest defender in the history of the conference—a task they did not take frivolously, football being more important down there than elections and border disputes—Tommy Nobis was the winner even though his final season was yet to come. Now this is the season, and Nobis is still Nobis. He led the defense which allowed poor Tulane just 1. Texas' 3. 1- 0 opener. He made the big play, a game- turning fourth- down tackle for minus yardage, and a lot of others in the 3. Texas Tech. This was a game in which Nobis and Texas shut out All- America Halfback Donny Anderson for the third straight year (three games: 7. Royal more than his collection of Roger Miller records. Nobis was equally brilliant in the 2. Indiana, stunning the ponderous Big Ten linemen with his speed. But he was even more of himself against Oklahoma last Saturday because a Royal- coached Longhorn in that one is expected to put on his most dedicated game face of all. Texas won 1. 9- 0, and Nobis said, . Football may be work for some, a hostility outlet for others, but for Nobis it's a John Wayne movie, a platter of fried chicken and guitar music all wrapped up in a burnt- orange jersey. With these four games behind him Nobis is on his way to All- America again, to becoming one of the precious few Southwest players to make all- conference three years, probably to Lineman of the Year honors (since he also happens to be the best blocking guard Royal has ever had and even now plays both ways), certainly to making as strong a bid for the Heisman Award as any linebacker or interior lineman ever has, and obviously to a first- round draft choice of the pros—perhaps No. But more important to Nobis and his teammates, as well as thousands of exes around the vast state of Texas, is the fact that Royal's team is ranked first in the nation again for the 1. Nobis spangled seasons. That would include the seven weeks the Long- horns protected the burden in 1. Arkansas upset them, 1. Losin' is just terrible, and if anybody's got any man in him at all, he'll go 'til he drops tryin' not to. But, barring an injury that could result from Nobis' own hustling endeavors, a nationwide television audience should not have any trouble seeing No. He will be where the ball is or fanatically on his way, fighting harder and enjoying it more because he is simply playing a game the only way he knows how. Lots of guts and pride. Boy, they had pride and they laughed and were cool and stayed after you—just like we do. That's what it's all about. But I know that whoever loses between us and Arkansas is gonna feel some real shame—I mean shame. Boy, I'd hate to look at the game film on Monday and find out I was responsible for it. I just worry all the time about those films, even when we win. I just know that I dogged it somewhere and my team will see it. I start worryin' when the game's over, and I don't stop until Monday afternoon. Heck, I get tired in a game. That's why I talk to myself out there. I just keep tellin' myself don't dog it, don't dog it, please don't dog it. Neither the players nor the coaches have to look at a game film to be certain either. For example, Linebacker- End Coach Mike Campbell makes phone calls to an Austin radio station for a five- minute interview after each game. Three weeks ago he was in the midst of the interview after the Texas Tech game, and he naturally said Nobis played . Defensive Back Jimmy Helms was asked recently how he played the pass, what tips he looked for, what moves and all that. He's where everything is. Nobis passed up a midsemester vacation to stay in Austin and get in the proper condition for spring training, a rite that is usually deemed as much fun for proved athletes as a lecture on John Stuart Mill. But Nobis realized that most of Royal's coaching is done in the spring, and there would, after all, be some action. Most of it was by the linebacker. Once, in a violent, three- play spasm, Nobis slammed ballcarriers out of bounds on opposite sidelines for no gain, and then he intercepted a pass. One of the runners he literally dazed was Kristynik, who finally got up and smiled and turned to Royal, saying, . Tommy's an All- America. When he came out I told him we'd have made a bunch if he'd pitched it. But he said, 'Coach, we didn't need a bunch. We already got seven and Tommy's not gonna let them get anything, and I didn't want to risk throwin' it away.' I thought a minute and said, 'Man, you're just as right as Superfox.' Sure enough, we kicked, they fumbled, and we got seven more the easy way. Nobis could not have played for a man more dedicated to the virtues of sharp, fundamental line play than Darrell Royal—or in a system where it is better taught. Royal and his top aides—Jim Pittman, Charley Shira and Mike Campbell—have been together for 1. Young enough, in fact, to keep changing their methods and organization with the times. Change comes in the subtleties—timing, technique—that the spectator seldom can detect. It comes with working on new tricks for old traps, better ways to read plays, simplifying assignments, improved drills to defeat a block and reach the ballcarrier. The Longhorn defense consists of three vital parts—the down four linemen, coached by Shira, the ends and linebackers, coached by Campbell, and the three- deep secondary, or the hull, coached by Willie Zapalac. He doesn't key on anybody. He plays the ball and, man, does he love it when one of our ends turns somebody back into him. I can't think of anything he likes better. But these things are taught by Charley and Jim and Mike and the rest. One thing a visitor to a Texas practice notes quickly is that a Texas coach would rather turn down an invitation to the LBJ Ranch than holler at a player who has made a mistake and embarrass him in front of the squad. He can't afford to lose any of it. We'll take him aside and tell him what he did wrong or show him in a film, not by pointing out what we did wrong but by joking about something the other team did. You can usually pick out a lazy old boy on the other team. Monday is a holiday for the players who got in the game the previous Saturday. Those who did not must scrimmage the freshmen in a brawl called the Flush Bowl. Tuesday the defense is set, and Wednesday the offense. Thursday is all timing and rhythm, and Friday is 3. Royal, very often without even the assistants around. He had so much pride and took his football so seriously in high school in San Antonio, for example, that he got up at 5: 3. Thomas Jefferson High (the school that produced Kyle Rote) even though another school was located only a few blocks from his home. You go to college for a lot of reasons, to be an engineer or a lawyer or a doctor, or something like that. And you study hard to become successful. I study and go to classes so I can play football. Football- is my work, what I want to be. Now, if I'm not good enough in school, I can't play football. Shoot, I'm pretty poor in a lot of subjects, but I like history, it's interesting, and it's just that I have to stay after it to make decent grades. It's gettin' harder and harder to get into a good university like Texas, and harder to stay in. I try never to miss classes. It shows I'm interested and tryin'. Fred Trueman - Wikipedia.

Trueman and Brian Statham opened the England bowling together for many years and formed one of the most famous bowling partnerships in Test cricket history. He was an outstanding fielder, especially at leg slip, and a useful late orderbatsman who made three first- class centuries. Trueman was awarded his Yorkshire county cap in 1. For his performances in the 1. Wisden Cricketers of the Year in the 1. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. He was awarded the OBE in the 1. Queen's Birthday Honours for services to cricket. His talent, skill and popularity were such that British Prime Minister Harold Wilson jokingly described him as the . However, Trueman was omitted from numerous England teams because he was frequently in conflict with the cricket establishment which he often criticised for its perceived . After he retired from playing, Trueman became a media personality through his work in television and as an outspoken radio commentator and summariser for the BBC, mainly working on Test Match Special. Early life. 5, Scotch Springs, Stainton near Maltby, West Riding of Yorkshire. He said that he was happy to be called Jewish. They were a country family, their home being part of a terrace row called Scotch Springs (now demolished) that was surrounded by countryside but about a mile from Maltby Main Colliery and half a mile from Stainton village. Trueman's grandfather had been a horse dealer and his father worked primarily with horses too, though for a time he was a coalface worker at Maltby Main. His parents instilled into all the children a strong sense of discipline and the values of honesty and forthrightness. His father was captain of the Stainton club and Trueman used to accompany him to matches, once playing for the club when he was only eight years old. He started playing again in 1. He had several jobs before becoming a professional cricketer. He was mistakenly described as a spin bowler in the Wisden match report. Trueman's first wicket was that of opening batsman Robert Morris, who was caught by Ellis Robinson for 1. In the second innings, Trueman bowled the future Sussex and England batsman Hubert Doggart for 2. Many years later, Warr wrote the biographical piece about Trueman in Barclays World of Cricket. The established pace bowlers in 1. Alec Coxon and Ron Aspinall, both fast- medium, while captain Norman Yardley was a . Trueman, once he became established, was a clear breach of Yorkshire tradition. Norman Yardley succeeded Brian Sellers as captain in 1. Len Hutton, Ted Lester, Harry Halliday, Vic Wilson, Willie Watson, Frank Smailes, Johnny Wardle, Don Brennan (wicket- keeper), Ellis Robinson, Ron Aspinall and Alex Coxon. Others in the picture were future captain Billy Sutcliffe and two more young fast- medium bowlers, Bill Foord and Johnny Whitehead. He made 1. 2 appearances in the County Championship and played for . He made only one appearance for the Second XI. He again took 3. 1 first- class wickets, but at the much higher average of 2. The club committee, however, persisted in a policy of short- term usage followed by a period of discard while they looked at Whitehead. Trueman faced the added problem of trying to succeed in an atmosphere of prevailing . The situation was exacerbated by bad feeling between some of the professionals, Wardle in particular being a difficult person to have in a team. Yardley captained the team in which Hutton and Lowson were the established openers although, with Hutton's Test calls, there were more opportunities for Halliday and Geoffrey Keighley. Lester, Watson, Wilson and Billy Sutcliffe were the other batsmen and Brennan was the wicket- keeper. The main bowlers were Wardle, Coxon and Eddie Leadbeater. Brian Close was doing his national service and could only make a single appearance, Ellis Robinson had departed and Ron Aspinall's career had been wrecked by his injury. So Trueman and Whitehead, who made 1. Bob Appleyard, who would make a major impact in 1. This was what Bowes and Mitchell worked on in 1. A month earlier at Bramall Lane, he had taken 3. With Johnny Whitehead playing only seven times, Yorkshire relied mainly on a squad of 1. Trueman, who played in 2. The other twelve regulars were Yardley (captain), Hutton, Lowson, Lester, Watson, Wilson, Halliday, Sutcliffe, Brennan, Wardle, Leadbeater and Appleyard. At this early stage of his career, he had not developed any real batting ability and could only contribute 1. He decided to volunteer after the 1. Yorkshire committee ruling that any capped players who were called up would be paid . At that stage, according to Wisden, . During this time he made his Test debut for England against India in 1. Ashes series against Australia. He was fortunate in having a station commander in Group Captain Jim Warfield who was a cricket enthusiast and was willing to grant him leave for Test and occasional county matches. In addition, Warfield decided to employ Trueman in the sports section, looking after the equipment and playing fields. Trueman claimed that he was the first person to be mentioned in Hansard in a cricketing connection. He was later promoted to AC1. He made his debut for England on Thursday, 5 June in the first Test against India at Headingley. Len Hutton had been appointed England captain before the series as the first professional to hold the post in the 2. The appointment was controversial, especially among the amateur establishment, but Hutton had . England had made 3. Trueman, again opening the bowling with Bedser, took 4. He had five instances of 5 wickets in an innings. Yardley was again the captain and the other mainstays were Hutton, Lowson, Lester, Halliday, Wilson, Watson, Sutcliffe, Brennan, Wardle, Leadbeater and the fast- medium bowler Bill Holdsworth who was effectively Trueman's stand- in. Holdsworth played 2. Trueman returned to full- time action in 1. The following spring, he was named as one of the Cricketers of the Year for 1. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in its 1. Wisden said of Trueman in its citation that he . Having mentioned his problem with . While Yorkshire thought Trueman would need two more seasons . He played for RAF Hemswell during the 1. Trueman was a forward, playing either as a striker or on the wing. Given the publicity Trueman had received after his performances in the 1. Test series, there was a lot of public interest in his football and Lincoln's attendances increased considerably when he was playing. Eventually, Bill Anderson offered him professional terms but Trueman decided to concentrate on cricket and, aware of the risk to his Test and county career if he sustained a football injury, he declined. Trueman missed the first four Tests, which were all drawn, and played in the last at the Oval which England won by 8 wickets, partly thanks to him taking four important wickets. His best analysis was 6. They dropped to twelfth place in the County Championship, which was then their lowest- ever position. Otherwise, the mainstays were as before: Yardley, Hutton, Lowson, Lester, Halliday, Watson, Wilson, Sutcliffe, Brennan and Wardle. Close played in only two matches and Trueman in ten. Bill Holdsworth made 1. Bill Foord, in his last season before finally deciding to be a schoolteacher, made 2. He played in eight first- class matches, including three of the five Tests, and took 2. MCC at the outset were . However, they had also some strong characters and weak management. Trueman suspected the MCC hierarchy of instructing Hutton to make the demand.

At a dinner, Trueman is said to have ordered a local dignitary, apparently the Indian High Commissioner, to: . No reason was given and he tried without success to obtain one, but neither Hutton nor MCC would elaborate. Trueman never forgave Hutton and the two never played together for England again.
