Dear AFM: Thank you for your great magazine. My interest is in locating previously published coaching information (books, magazines, film, videos, etc.) that can be used to coach youth football. Mixing the schemes and techniques taught of years ago while still coaching the recent changes in the rules to allow more use of hands and never dropping the head, for example, make for a good combination in coaching youth coaches. Information about how to use the defenses and offenses of five to 50 years ago-from the single-wing wedge play to the diamond defense and how the end contains the sweep play-is what I seek. Can you help me locate the coaches or wives or families that may have books that may be gathering dust on their shelf? I will purchase these if they contact me at (770) 642-2232, fax (770) 640-5269 or email at faubion@atl.mindspring.com. Thanks for this assistance. Regards, Ervin
