To the Football Aspirant
By Charles E. Armstrong, Coach at the University of
North Dakota.

We all recognize that the game of
football is more excellent as a foot
ball developer. now let us see what
1t does for the head.
For a student Of certain tempera-
ments and disposition I firmly believe
that the lessons he learns on the foot
ball field are more beneficial to him
throughout life than anything else
that he gets out of his college course.
II he lacks self confidence and is af-
fiicted with hot-headedness the for
mer will be knocked into him and
the latter out. If he possesses the
qualities of the bully. the gutter, or
II he has ver so small a yellow
streak" in his makeup he will enther
lose these qualities or the gridiron
will lose him and he will have lost
them just as sur as you find him
still a member Of the team in his Sc
nior year. A great lesson has been
learned when the former hotheaded
bully who has been roughed. get
up with a grin for his opponent that
clearly says you will get over that
when you have learned the game and
you will be a gentleman yet, in spite
Of yourself" If you are in a game
and an opponent roughs you do not
get mad and lose your head but re-
member that the most cutting re-
buke that you can give him is simply
to grin at him and the more disgust

ed you can make 1t look the better.
You know there is nothing so tantal-
izing to the boxer as to have his op-
ponent keep grinning at him. And
1t Is a recognized fact that as long
as a mar can keep even a semblance
of a grin on his face he has himself
under control.
Never play dirty football and never
even think of using unfair tactics. If
you do 1t Is a sure sign that you have
gotten mad and lost your head, and
the quicker the referee puts you out
Of the game the : better it will be
for your W team. for you can't play
the game If you get mad and besides
the substitute that is put in your
place may be of some use where you
are not. Then, too, there is plenty
in the game to keep you occupied
when you are in a condition t. play
at your best If you will simply do
what is expected of you. If you are
running interference get your man
and get him so hard hat he will in
no way interfere with the play. There
is no sentiment in the game to keep
you from getting him nor should
there be any grudge that would make
you wan to use unfair tactics. 1t Is
simply your duty. He knows it and
expects it of you, and he is going to
do all in his power to keep you from
It. and If you fail in your part 1t is
his time to grin at you.

HISTORY FACTS
Of CUP EVENTS
Vanderbilt Race Has Done
Much for the Automo-

The eighth running of the Wander.
al automobile classic. is the biggest
event this week. Whatever may be
said of the other big contests held in
this country. the fact remains that the
Vanderbilt cur ace was the first con
test which. through the various sea-
sons has done more for the automo-
bile industry thar n other speed
event. 1t a meant much to the au-
tomobile industry and to the develop
ment of motor ears to their present
efficient state.
The handsome silver trophy was
donated in January, 1904. by William
K. Vanderbilt, Jr. His object in do

In the coming worlds series /. is
probable that Tesreau will pitch the
first game in that important e..
lie will undoubtedly be opposed by
Joe Wood. and If so a mighty battle
will ensue.
1t is said that the Boston Red Sex
cannot hit a spitball artist. and IL
this is so Tesreau may be able to win
a worlds series for his club. At q
rate, everything depends upon the
pitching Of the big fellow.
Should he win the first game he
can go right back in the third battle,
for the big fellow needs but little
rest. and IL really necessary Tesreau
could pitch every game. and . am
sure he would be willing.
In a short series such as the big
event practically everything depends
on the twirlers. and although 1t IL
conceded that the Red Sox are tho
superior team. still in a short series
ance in the Giants favor.
At any rate. during this series 500
souls will await the flash Of the le.c-

IRA THOMAS
PICKS RED S0X
Declares Boston Will Win
Over Giants-He PLAYED
in Two Series.

Ira Thomas, who is in a position to
know, has q few things to say about
the Boston Red Sox and what they
look like for the big series. Ira has
been In two worlds series. and his
opinion ie worthy Of consideration.
That Is q great ball club Of Jake
Il really didn't give the speed Boy:
credit for being az formidable as they

nc excuses to make for these lickings.
for we went into the series all primed
up. determined to make a dsperate
stand. as We realized that II we were
beaten by Boston in these games they
tilities for 1912. Our pitchers were
well rested up and everything else was
favorable. but the Red Sox Jumped on
~ and gave us q grand old trimming.
II believe that Bill Carrigan will
be able to take care of any base run
ming that the Giants may attempt. The

ter OF fact. base running has not play
ed much Of a part in the last few
worlds series. We were told in 1910
that the Cubs would run hog wild on
me. as I was possessed Of q bad arm
and wasn't good anyhow but I notice
that nobody stole any Of my clothing
or equipment. Last season the dope
sters had It figured out the same way,
that Thomas wouldn't be able to keep
the Giants in the park at all. Yes
when It came to the test I managed
to turn a few back and to command
enough respect to prevent any whole

Pitchers Count.
with pitchers who will keep the
mon close to the bases and will hand
their catcher the ball in sone sort Of
fashion when the men are going down,
there isn't much to fear from those
highly toutd base thieves. I believe
the Tigers, when they are going we'll,
