PENN CAPTAIN
WANTS BRAINS ON
VARSITY ELEVEN
Players Must Be Able to
Think for Themselves
Under Given Conditions
FOLWELLS IDEA, TOO
BY NEIL MATHEWS
Captain Penn Football Team.

Something the spectator never sees and
something which Is Just as important in
the final selection of varsity team is
brain work There are lcgions OF coaches
who can teach r. man to fall on ball
There are just as many who can teach a
man to tackle, to block and to charge.
Fewer men can dope out plays, and still
fewer can see that good plays are executed
properly. But when II comes to coaches
who teach the men to think every minute,
TO use their brains as well as their bodies
and legs you fnd the field narrowed down
to a small handful
The secret of success In anything is cool,
brniny execution of something which has
become second nature in the doing.
We at Franklin Field are striving to OBJ
tain a team Of eleven men whose brains will
work before their feet and who can
diagnose tho opponents play and then stop
IT; who can hear signal given by the
quarterback and then execute play and
do II In n brainy way, varying their play to
meet new conditions.
In order to have such team men must
be found who have the possibilities of
development and then proceed with the de.
velopment. That is what Folwell has been
doing this week. Every day we have gone
on the field. executed our plays. scrimmaged
and gone through the customary practice,
but every night we meet in the training
house and have what Bob calls a brain-de-
velopng session.
Certain situations are imagined and then
some one is asked to solve tho problem, dis
cussions follow and before we know il there
are arguments, which shows that interest is
aroused, and when interest is aroused no
matter how sluggish the brain may be 1t
will respond little at least. In this way
| the men are taught to think of football and
| to know what to do II certain cases arise.
| Then discuss the rules and the impor-
| tance of obeying them. A team can spoil
an otherwise good game by transgressing
| the rules and at the same time cause itself
| trouble. SO with such methods of attacl;
| l feel sure that Bob will storm and take
| the best fortified brain In the squad before
| long Just who that is would hate to say
If we can get the men to combine the
| two-the mechanical and the brain work
| we have what we want-a COOL calculating
machine, which knows the game from A
| to 2, and which makes few mistakes and
| takes advantage of all the opponents
make-that is the goal. The next thing
| is to reach It.

TAMES Il. TED) MEREDITH, OF this
81 city, whose performances in the Olympic

startled the world. and who as representa-
tive Of the University Of Pennsylvania cre-
ated several worlds records. sailed today for
Stockholm. where he. together with three
other American athletes. will compete In the
National Championship Games Of Sweden
Since his graduation from the University

matte course Of training. He is In excellent
health and says he will set up new rec
ord in the sOO-meter race. provided condi-
tions are favorable.
After touring Sweden. Denmark and Nor
way, Meredith will return TO London, where

member Of the American team because Of
his remarkable running while student at

the worlds greatest athletes in the 500
meters race in the record time Of 1 81 $40.
II was believed the mark would stand for
many years. His time for $50 yards, which
was also taken at the games, was 1:52M.
The mark did stand for a long time. but
Il was Meredith himself who broke IT, It
was In his last race as representative Of
the University of Pennsylvania that the
latest record Of 1859 2-5 was made. IL
was the dual meet of the Red and Blue with
Cornell last spring when Meredith was pltted
against winagle, Cornells greatest runner
The men ran dead heat until within
twenty yards Of the finish. when Meredith's
celebrated whirlwind finish asserted itself
and he broke the tape a foot in front of
Wlnagle.
His worlds record Of a. 2-5 seconds in
the quarter-mile dash was established at
the intercollegiate meet at Cambridge,
Mass, last May. In this race Meredith
was pitted against Reilly, OF Dartmouth,
