"Pug” Rentner was one of the finest broken field runners of his day at Northwestern and still is with the Boston Redskins. Running in the open field is a test of ability to change direction at top speed, shifting feet at lightning speed. There are many methods of learning the trick. One is to place a series of empty barrels or boxes about three yards distance, weaving in and out between them while going at top speed. The other tricks, such as stiff arm, body pivot, high knee action, quick stop and start etc, will come as the player grows more practiced. But the quick-step, fast shifting of the feet and skill of changing direction is the foundation of all good broken field running.
