YALE PLAN TO BUILD TEAM
FROM SHOULDERS UP is POOR
Such Is Opinion of Practical Football Star-Gus Zegler
Says lie Gore Should Not Be Exploited in Mental
Training Experiment. Comment
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL

Training a football player from the
shoulders up" Is new experiment az
Yale this fall, and thus far II has met
with success. Al the start Of the season
the coaches decided TO put Harry Legore
through a system Of mental training TO
NJ him for the championship games next
month. He was not allowed 20 get into
the battles with Maine and Virginia, al
though the latter game resulted in de-
feat for the Blue.
Last Saturday when Virginia was
leading Yale and the backfeld was play
Ing ragged football the students IN the
stands made an open demonstration
against the coaching methods at New
Haven and loudly shouted for Legore
They Insisted that the star fullback be
allowed to play, and while their protests
were OF no avail. the coaches felt deeply
hurt by the action. II is said on good
authority that several designations from
members of the coaching stan are ex-
pected IL another demonstration occurs.
There is no doubt but that Legore is
n wonderful player. His running with
the ball. passing and punting cannot pos
stbiy be improved upon, but defensively
he Is weak. He offers no protection to
his teammates when some one else has
the ball, and II Is said that on occasions
ne has failed to think quickly enough
at critical moments. He must master
the art Of taking out his man and maxi
ing interference before he can hope to
regain his place on the varsity back
field.
1t Is said that in the Harvard game
last year Legore gave up the chase of
Coolidge after 30 yards, whereas Aims
worth, who had fallen down. scrambled
to his feet and kept up the pursuit to
the goal line. This was called mex
cusable by the coaches, as was the full
backs failure to fall on the ball behind
the Yale goal line when FRANKIE fumblcd.
In this case Legore is said to have stood
| stu and allowed a Harvard man TO fall
on the ball for a touchdown, when he
could have converted It into a touchback
| Legore knew his failings, and is said
| to DO In hearty accord with the plans OF
the coaches to condition him mentally by
keeping him on the scrubs There is no

reason why the Yale tutors should be con-
demned for their action In keeping this
brilliant back on the side lines, for they
know the value OF Legore to the team
and merely wish TO increase hts efficiency.
When all Is said and done, I.egore u a
one-slded player, playing brilliant game
on the offense, but nearly worthless on
the defense At least this is the opinion
In New Haven
In direct contrast to this comes q
statement from Gus zeigler. who coached
Legore at Mercersburg. Legore Ia one
OF the best backs I have ever seen" says
Gus, and there must be something wrong
at Yale II he is kept on the side lines.
Harry is wonderful runner In the
open field can buck the line Rnd is the
most accurate passer in college ranks to-
day. His puntng also IL good, and can
not see why he Is not In the lineup. I
have heard that be is being put through
course of mental training and while
that would be good for several other foot
ball men now playing at the game,
cannot see why Legore should be
picked out as an example and exploited
in the newspapers.
"Legorc when he played on Mercers-
burg was a heady player, a good inter-
ferer. deadly taclsler and a good blocker.
He was using his head all of the time ana
the team profted by his work
Il remember one instance in our hfg
game with Lawrenceville Ia 1910 when
Harry thought out a play on the field and
got away with Il for touchdown. Law
reneeville was playing a close game the
backs on defense standing within a few
feet OF the line. Legore saw this, and
called his teammates together He told
them 70 try long forward pass down the
! sideline on the next play. Remember
/ there was no signal for this play; II was
| thought out on the spur Of the moment,
| yet Legore got away with It, An end
ran 30 yards down the field and Harry
passed the ball on a line to him. A touch
down resulted
IF that is poor headwork. I would like
to witness a real 'bonehead' play some
time. Legore Is good, and something
must be wrong with the Yale coaching
system IL he has failed to come up to the
mark. i cannot see how a man can 20
back so far in such a short time"

'ALEXANDER'S RAGTlME
BAND,' PILLS DUBBED
Bostonese Refer Moran's Men
to Barber Shop Chord.
Fear Grover Cleveland

Way down deep Boston Is not so sure
that the Red SOx will trample the Phil
lies in the worlds series. In the barber
shops, in the cafes and gFills, on the
curbstones and in public places up in
Beantown, one name stares out like
black spectre. That name is Alexander.
Boston rolls the name respectfully-if not
fearfully-under the tongue.
Intellectual Boston is doing some deep
sea thinking" today on the most i'm
portant series old Boston town has ever
faced. After the Braves came from be-
hind last year In record climb and
then crushed the Athletics in the october
tournament, the Hub was obsessed with
the idea that the Braves would win in
a walk in 1915 They were wrong.
Now, with the Red sox shunted into
the limelight again, Boston figures the
team which beat the Braves will be
hard team for anybody to lick,
Boston 10 philosophical, ineisive. inter-
rogatory. She wants TO know the why's
and wherefores of everything. So when
the Phillies put in the elinches all Bos-
ton held a clinic over the Phlllies to de-
termine just how It was and why the
Phillies won. The answer Is unanimous
here, Alexander!
The Phillies are referred to in Boston
as "AlexandeF's Ragtime Band" Nearly
every paper In town has taken up the
slogan. The newsboys on the streets are
singing:
30 come and hear; Come and hear
AlexandeT's Ragtime Band"
You can get the sentiment in the town
by putting your ears down TO the rails"
In public places. Let II be said the Bos-
tonese have abiding confidence in the Red
sox, They believe eventually that the
fates will see TO It that Bill Carrlgan's
crew carries or the palm-but way down
deep these Bostonese have a suspicion
that one Alexander Is going to he a tTou-
blesome stumbling block.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-10-08

At bat the Red sox have been listless for
a week, batting lightly against both
Washington and New York pitchers.
They were undoubtedly trying their best.
yet they were not pitching nor batting
up to past form. They haven't been play
ing as good ball for 10 days as the
Fhillies have, and don't believe they
will play as good ball through the
series"
As a Series Team
These opinions among the insiders are,
piled high in massive layers. Here ~
stu another from one of the games
veteran entries:
The Red sox should win because they
happen to be the greatest series club 'n
baseball. 1 mean by that that no other
club has played as effectively in all the
big series of the year-series that Were
vitaly important. There have been many
occasions when Carrigan's people have
played careless, listless ball. But most OF
this was put through against second il
vision clubs. The Yanks have had tho
leaders jumping sideways all the year.
But when the Red Sox met the Tigers and
White SoN there was a different yarn to
spin. Once keyed up, the Boston winners
played at top speed with sufficient bat
ting and pitching power to beat back all
opposition. In many ways the Red Sox
have been a queer club. They have hit
good pitching hard, whereas they have
done most of their light batting against
only average slabmen-men they should
have beaten easily"
The Case Of Weilman
Alexander Is grand pitcher" re-
marked an American League supporter
yesterday. But so Is weilman, of the
Browns. Weilman beat the Tigers eight
times this season. Could Alexander have
done more? He also held the Red Sox 10
one run In three games-one run to each
game, rather. But he lost all three BE-
cause Foster happened to beat him 10 at
every start. So II must be remembered
that to win Alexander must be at his
best He may hold the Red Sox to one
run or two runs and still lose"
Is Boston Due?
"Do you know why 1 am picking tn.
Phillies?' remarked another insider-if
there be any such thing as an insldeI
where the revolving dope is concerned.
III tip you off. Boston has never lost a
world series. She won with the Red Sox
In 1903 against Pittsburgh: with the Red
SoX In 1912 against the Giants, and with
the Braves in 1914 against the Athletics
This makes three wins out of three starts
So now she Is due-just as the Mackmen
were due-and all others in sport who
hang around for sufficient period. Also
this is the year of many upsets-those
who have been winning In the past have
had tough time of it, The psychology
is all against Boston-and don't forget
that the psychology of the occasion is a
big part of the business
Having digested these various opinions
all offered by those who are supposed to
know what they are debating about, you
can either make your own guess or re-
strain your impatlence until the last man
is retired some time next week. The lat.
ter is suggested as the safest system.
