Allen's plans for a balanced effort stalled last year, when his backfield began to ache. Les Josephson, the Coastal Division's leading rusher in 1967, underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles' tendon. Speedster Tommy Mason and Workhorse Dick Bass suffered assorted season-long leg miseries. "In my way of looking at it," Gabriel says gamely, "1968 was a good test for me, because from week to week we had a different backfield, different receivers. You have to call on a lot of knowledge because you have to call plays based on what each...
This year Mason and Josephson are back, close to their old selves. The big surprise, however, has been Rookie Runner Larry Smith; at 6 ft. 3 in. and 220 Ibs., he averages four yards a carry, is an excellent receiver and blocker, and can throw the half-back-option pass.

Only once or twice does the account come to life, when Josephson deals with some noted figures who were touched by the grandeurs and miseries of the '30s. He has Edmund Wilson darkly prophesying that come the revolution, some intellectual enemy would "be done away with." Whittaker Chambers makes the scene as a malevolent monster who framed a guiltless Hiss, and John Dos Passes is treated with oblique sneers. Chambers and Dos Passos had been vehemently for, and later, vehemently against Communism, and this perhaps is what disturbs Josephson. No Comrade Quixote, he was happily embraced...
