Uneasy lies the head that wears tfla crown of the head coach. Graduates and undergraduates are apt to placa the blame for defeat upon the shou1- ders of the head coach while credit ing the victory to the players. Andrews L. Smith head coach of the Unfversitv Of Pennsylvania, and an AI1-Amerfcar fuilback, has undergone his share o4 criticism but sticks to the work, and teaches the Pennsylvania system t1 the best of his ability. He believes ia studying the temperament of the men on the squad
 One of the greatest qualities football coach can have" says Smitn, '.is the ability closely to determine the temperament of the different men he is coaching. The inexperfenced coach, that is to say, the man wEa coaches the first year after Ieaviu4 the college game himself, often never stops to think what may be done with certain men by appealing to them in some particular way. As rule 1a goes ahead in a slamming manner. nos realizing that by Jollying a certain candidate or by chastising another l1s may get the best results out of them.
 Every coach of experience uses methods of this kind. For instance, Glenn Warner, through long experi~ - get more out of these men than probe ably any other man would be able to do. They say Warner is a drives in teaching his method. but he cer~' tainly must be diplomatic about its because the Indian is naturally of . very sulky disposition If things arc not breaking right for him.
 F Tt is known that he has had meR who have been so ignorant that the4 were unable to understand the sfgs nals expressed voca1ly, but by certaf9 pressure on different parts of tho body they have been able to compres hend which way the play was goings 1 can imagine some football coached placed in Warmers position would ge& very poor results if they should start driving as Glenn is known to do.
 Carl Williams was a great man fo study his men individually. It is known, however that it was very Ge1~ dom that he praised a mans work during the season. At the close of the year he would tell you how good you were, while throughout the pr9c- tice and the games of the year he might have told you at every oppoT- tunity what dub you were as a foot ball players. They say Roper of Princeton is a man of great enthusfs asm and that his methods of coacbfng are along this line.
 "Haughton of Harvard is supposed to De a very d1gnl1led sort or person, and his presence without the utter ance of d single word demands re- spect and fulfi1ment of his orders There is no doubt that he has gotteu more fight out of the Harvard foof-~ ball teams in late years than they have had in reasons gone by. Yost of Michigan is another very enthusias- tic coach. and is very optimistic. He can sit down and give you a detailed account of a football game that may have been played several years ago, and he will be exactly right to the letter.
 Little is known of Camp other than as an adviser. However, he is called conservative, being very slow to ae~ cept theories or to get very far away from the principles of the old tirns game. Dan Reed of Cornell is great man to instiI1 fighting spirit into his men. He has every appearance of q 1 fighter himself in his actions"
