FOOTBALL IS CONTEST
OF SKILL AND MORALE
By SOL METZGER,
Coach Washington and Jefferson Eleven

ers. Were 1t not for them football
would long ago have died a natural
death With them-skilI and spirit
as prime requisites the misled aca-
demic cannot execute 1t, much as he
desires. America, sound and bal
anced, sees the need OF such a game
in connection with its educational ad
vance.
Prefer Big To Little.
To be sure, there is not one OF US
in the coaching game who does not
prefer big men to small men, but
everything else must be equal. OF
two teams of like skill and spirit the
heavier will win out just as a dollar
has more purchasing value than six
bits. But the more skilled and spir-
tied elevens will defeat the heavier
ones just as easily as a Rockefeller
can get bigger results with less
money than most of US. System, skill
and spirit. the latter nothing more
than self-confdence and the nerve tc
try, are valuable assets, and have
been at the basis of most success in
any line of endeavor.
Big men, as a rule, are not as
dudpldDle 10 lHe game as SIldlleT
men. Unless they have been trained
from boyhood in athletic exercises
they are clumsy and often in their
own way. Another point against
them is that they have not had the
uphill fight as boys that smaller
ones has always had. struggle
which resulted in giving the smaller
boy a finer spirit and temper.
In fact. the big fellows who enter
college with great populations as
preparatory school football players
sometimes lack the grit and fighting
spirit of the smaller boys. They have
had the advantage in physique in all
athletic contests. Now they find them
selves fighting on even terms and
sometimes, unfortunate as II is, they
lack the grit to give and take. Then
football either makes them or shows
them up for what they are.
InstillIng spirit and fight in boys
OF this type is one OF the biggest
problems of football coaching the
solution Of which has so much to. do
with the boys future. The gridiron,
not the classroom, offers the only re-
finery for such types of boys in our
present scheme of higher education
ConceIt Does Harm
Unless a squad of big football
players is carefully handled it is very
likely to get the German military
idea that 1t is supreme. This spirit
of conceit will do as much harm
for the team as it has done for Ger
many. The spirit of fight and con-
fidence, which is a nobler spirit BY
far, will, in the end, overcome the
spirit of conceit, and Humpty
Dumpty will have a great fall from
which all the coaches cannot hope
to rescue him.
The big man is the big problem
of the coach. He is easily made a
victim of his own best asset, soon
thinks that the newspaper articles
and the talk about him is fact-that
he has arrived at a state of football
perfection, needs no coaching and is
really the inventor OF the game.
Bang! goes the season.

Football is a strange game to many.
The average enthusiast enjoys the
physical struggle above all else and
for that reason the belief that weight
is supreme has long held with some.
l doubt If many people recognize
the finer points OF the game-morale
and skill, each the result of long and
special training.
During the early summer when the
now settled question Of whether or
lot we were to have football this fall
was uppermost DR. Harry Williams,
the old Yale halfback now coaching
Minnesota, brought out this point
clearly when talking about the out
look. He was of the opinion that the
elevens playing this fall would be
made up for the most part OF new
men, but that the crowds would still
go to big games in spite Of this be-
cause the game played would appear
to them to be on a par with former
days.
The beer idea is uppermost in the
minds of football followers even this
fall. When We read about the cut
look of various teams We see that the
men of weight are headliners, and
that the prospects are good or poor
in proportion to the amount of avoir-
dupois per candidate. II the squad
is made up OF a lot of big fellows a
certain spirit of optimism prevails.
On the contrary. football is a game
of skill and morale. Weight alono.
as desirable as it is, cannot win the
day. And this skill and morale are
what make the game SO popular, un-
recognized as they are by its follow
