Marlin Dyess stands 5-6, weighs 149 pounds, and runs the>
100-yard dash in 9.8. Besides this he’s Alabama’s “scootinest’’
back and averaged 4.3 yards a carry this fall.
So you know what Bear Bryant did with him against Au
burn. He made him an end. In return lil Marlin pleased big'
poppa Bear by catching a touch
down pass.
Dyess himself, and Bryant’s
daring move in the Auburn game
typify the Alabama football team,
especially the backs.
The Crimson Tide has one of
the quickest, most deceptive of
fensive attacks in the country.
Scooters like Dyess, quarterback
Pat Trammel, halfback Billy
Richardson, and fullback Gary
Steen are the reasons why.
Alabama has used so many of-1
fenses that scouts have had a
tough time keeping up with them

from game to game. And they're
liable to have something special
for Penn State Dec. 19 in the Lib
erty Bowl.
They've used fhe lonesome
end attack, and unbalanced line,
spreads, flankers, and slot backs.
Alabama runs from the basic T
formation which is engineered
by Trammel, an 18-year-old
wonder boy from Scoilsboro,
Ala.
Trammel is one of the best play
ers to hit the Alabama scene in
many years and had quite a sea
son in ’59.
He finished second in total of

ground and 293 through the air.
Trammel carried 156 times,
more than any 'Barna back. His
longest jaunt was for 54 yards
in Alabama's 13-0 win over Chat

He's quite a passer, 100, even- I
though his statistics don't show |
it. He’s known to pick up yard- i

often this year. !
