According to the surveys, pro football is the fastest growing spectator sport in the country. It is also one of the fastest moving games played. For full enjoyment, those watching must bring instant comprehension to the way the 22 players are deploying themselves and why. Mr. Smith, an experienced sports writer and Mr. Dudley, a football star, have written a short book as useful to armchair athletes as it is to potential players. They have devoted a chapter each to the various football positions and explain how the pros play them for either offense or defense. There is also a chapter on kicking and receiving, basic offensive and defensive strategy and diagrams of the basic formations and plays.
