My helmet was plastic with pads by the ears and elastic straps on top of the head, basically just for fitting purposes. It didn't take much to get your bell rung.

I damn sure wasn't lowering my head to hit with that thing. The only person I was going to hurt was me.

I played in the 70s so it’s been awhile. I recall we were taught see what you hit and shoulder to upper legs and wrap.

I didn’t see the Illinois bs Wiscoygame, but good for Bert! Had to feel good going back there and knocking them off. Saw a few minutes of the end interview with wife and Kids. Wife looks good for such a schlup!

It seems that disappeared at some point between then and now. But I agree with what, I think, you said - practice. We practiced like we played - full tackling. These days they don't do much hitting in practice, so how are guys going to learn how to do it properly?
