PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-Dr.
"Charlie" Schoff, the foot ball coach,
gives a unique explanation of many OF the
injuries received in foot ball. 1t is in ex-
act keeping with the character OF the man
and many circumstances support the
.LeotS.
Schoff was aashing, hard, but square
player and was SO full of pluck that he did
not know when he was hurt. With knee
so badly crippled that he could not walk
without nmping he led the Quakers to
their first victory over Princeton in the
famous battle at Mannheim in 1892
He says: Did you ever notice that most
of the men injured were on the losing SIDE,
also that they are generally playing again
in a day or twol Well, l believe that many
OF these men nave lost heart and simply
want 10 get out Of the game. During my
own experience l know of a number of
PLAYERS whose side was losing who wanted
to Quit. False courage comes to a coward
if he is in a winning combination, out
many faint hearted man will quit like
cur If things
ARE GOING AGAINST HIM.
This know from actual experience and
the fact that most injured men are in har-
ness again quickly and most are members
of the losing team convinces me that many
a foot ball injury is faxed"
Then again, a too great prevalence OF
bandages and doctors in the training
house or along the side lines has demor-
alizing effect on the players. IL makes
them think of injuries, and the man VINO
goes into a game with such thoughts is the
first one 10 get hurt"
When asked whether he considered the
past season particularly unfortunate one
or whether the rules were 10 blame, he
replied: 81 think the season was unfortu-
nate. / differ from many who contend that
more injuries result in the open than IN the
mass plays. One striking proof OF
this was in our own practice games.
Rarely was a man hurt this fall. Last
year it was seldom the men arose
from mass play down that we did not
find somebody had been hurt. 1t was
good thing TO get rid of the latter class and
il any further changes are TO be made they
should be along the same line
"Our men told me that when they start
cd the tandem interference and drove II
into the Harvard line the Crimson players
began TO grunt at q great rate and in
short time began to lose strength and gave
way more readily before the attack"
