大学足球教练爱默斯．阿隆佐．史塔哥 (Amos
Alonzo Stagg) 退休了：1960年9月16日
史塔哥最大的贡献就在于他使用假人来进行铲球练习，同时还引进许多不同的队形变化，后来还成为足球的基本型态。如果你是一个足球迷，你可能会知道什么叫做全场盯人防守、变换位置，以及借位等术语。这些都是史塔哥在担任芝加哥大学41年的教练生涯中，所发展出来的战术。这些创新的战术，使史塔哥带领他的球队赢得6次西部联盟 (Western
Conference) 的冠军，照片中也是其中一次。后来这个联盟改名为「十大联盟」 (The
Big Ten) 。
史塔哥和足球的关系是如此的密切，以致于许多人都忘记他是最先参与篮球运动的选手之一。他甚至还在1896年参加史上第一次的校际篮球比赛。你是不是最早从事某一项运动的选手呢？
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?
