大學足球教練愛默斯‧阿隆佐‧史塔哥 (Amos
Alonzo Stagg) 退休了：1960年9月16日
史塔哥最大的貢獻就在於他使用假人來進行鏟球練習，同時還引進許多不同的隊形變化，後來還成為足球的基本型態。如果你是一個足球迷，你可能會知道什麼叫做全場盯人防守、變換位置，以及借位等術語。這些都是史塔哥在擔任芝加哥大學41年的教練生涯中，所發展出來的戰術。這些創新的戰術，使史塔哥帶領他的球隊贏得6次西部聯盟 (Western
Conference) 的冠軍，照片中也是其中一次。後來這個聯盟改名為「十大聯盟」 (The
Big Ten) 。
史塔哥和足球的關係是如此的密切，以致於許多人都忘記他是最先參與籃球運動的選手之一。他甚至還在1896年參加史上第一次的校際籃球比賽。你是不是最早從事某一項運動的選手呢？
Stagg is credited with the use of dummies for tackling practice and introducing several plays that have become basic to football. If you are a football fan, you may be familiar with the "end-around play," the "shift," and the "man in motion." These are all plays that Stagg developed during the 41 years he coached at the University of Chicago. Innovations like these helped Stagg lead his team to victory at six Western Conference (later called the Big Ten) championship games, including the one in the photograph.
Stagg is so closely associated with football that many forget he was one of the first to play the new game of basketball. He even participated in the first intercollegiate basketball game in 1896. What new sport could you be among the first to play?
