Did Not Advise Players.

You see, Matty allowed us to go
along and do as we pleased when it
came to the stages of game where
the players as general thing like to
have the advice of their leader. When
we would ask Matty what to do: to
either lay the ball down for bunt or
hit 'er out, the manager. sitting on the
bench. would lift one leg over the
other and saw:
You're a ball player. are you not"
You are being paid for being one: you
ought to know what to do. Now go
in and let's see how You come out
'.Matty did not seem to be willing to
take any responsibility and left it en-
tirely to US to decide what to do. l
am free to say. though. that he did
not heap the blame on US if our play
did not carry through successfully.
Neither did he accept the blame. He
just left it pass over and was appar-
emily very little disturbed.
. players want a leader who will add
wise them and direct them at critical
times: to be forceful and decisive and
act quickly on the spur of the mo-

well just such manager is Pat
Moran. He is not rough-spoken to his

incest manager to get along with that
I ever played under. Still, he would
tell US when we failed to carry out
his orders and what we ought to have
done. He was firm and we appre-
ciated that he meant what he said
and also knew his business.
Moran Guided Men.
IF We asked him what to do. he
would say: DO YOU think you can
hit he ball behind the runner and
we would say Yes He would reply:
Then go to it, and even if we did not
succeed. he would not growl at us. but
would say: Well. you tried. anyhow.
and 1T was good gamble to take.
Better luck next time At other times
he would tell us what to do and we
would try it, make no mistake about
that. We had the greatest confidence
in his judgment and followed it re-
ligiousiy
"It was Pat Moran who developed
our team into the splendid machine it
was. and we know it, He inspired us
to do our best in every game. His

No Holes Are Opened.

These lines open no holes. nor. ap-
parently, do they attempt to do so.
On a play heading for the right side
the entire rushline inclines TOWARD
the right while carrying out its as
signment of grinding, driving, lifting
or crushing the immediate opposition
Similarly, on play toward the le1t
side the slant and inclination of the
! tightly contracted line in that direc-
| ton becomes equally noticeable.
In the event that the outnumbered
and probably outweighed opponents
attempt to dump the attacking line by
very low charge and by the use OF
| hands defensively. the Harvard and
Yale forwards promptly fall forward
after the manner of trapdoor. The
defensive forwards are as completely
submerged as the log runner who
slips between floating logs into an icy
river Whereupon the backs. without
hesitation or pity or even remorse.

ed as hurdling in some of the prints.
But there is no violation of any rule
observable, unless state or municipal
statutes against cruel and abusive
treatment are infringed by the some
what inconSiderate practice OF using a
teammates back hair as doormat.
Attempts by the defenders to open
up and charge through such tightly
punched lines are futile. 1t would be
necessary first to pry the ends away
from the tackles, then to split the tao
kles away from the guards and. final
ly, to strip the guards away from their
close and crowded intimacy with the
pivot man. By this time the runner
with the ball has gained a few yards.

an hour of golf to each visit TO the
course these DAYS and use that hour
for a sort of review.

I think that the real benefit from
my extra hour of golf is the fact
that l am practicing over and over
again the good ideas that came to
me not so many days back And this
thought leads me to mention the i'm
portance of constant repetition Of

That is the way to learn golf 1t is
impossible to bear all the necessary
| golden rules in mind while you are
playing. No one can really do that.
and. therefore. it is necessary to play
enough each period to make the
proper execution of a shot a sort of
second nature.
Every player has some little. spe-
cial rules, and they are used on i'm
, portant occasions, but the fellow who
has practiced to the least conscious
point is the better player. And. of
course. the relative Importance of his
idea to the stroke means something,
but the rules may be tower of
strength to fall back upon in time

All 1 have been doing with myself
lately is repeating over and over

Mass Charge Effective.

If the opposing line is playing high,
endeavoring to see and diagnose the
play. and in the meantime to hold on
the attacking forwards by the use of
arms and hands from braced stand
ing position, the mass charge rs par
ticularly effective. The defensive
guards and center, and often the
tackles as well. are carried back as
surely as the bather who breasts a
strong surf on the beach.
If the defense further initiates the
Harvard-Yale defensive style by hold
ing its ends in reserve at or near the
line of scrimmage, the attacking half
backs are sure of at least a moderate
gain. They have only to follow at a
comfortable jog trot in the wake of
the advancing line of forwards.
In one game this fall l saw the
Harvard quarterback. Murray. having
fumbled and recovered the ball. dis
play considerable extra exertion in an
effort to catch up with his rush line.
which, while taking out everything in
it's path. had by this time left him in

NEW YORK November S.-The only
thing needed to make today one of the
biggest days of the 1919 foot ball sea-
son is good weather. Clear skies will
probably bring out the largest crowds
that have attended the various games
in the east this year. But rain or
shine the schedule calls for plenty of
action and thrills on the gridiron.
Interest OF course. is centered in the
Harvard-Princeton clash at princeton,
the first meeting this year of any OF
the big three, but much attention is
being attracted by the Army-No.re
Dame game Being an intersectional
contest, it will afford an opportunity
to judge the respective abilities of the
east and west. Notre Dame is coming
east with big reputation. and is
known for its ability to play great loot
ball If the Army can hold its own
with this team it will Justify the pre-
diction that it is going to give the
Navy an unpleasant surprise.
Yale will meet Brown in its annual
game at New Haven. and if the Blue

enough to withstand anything Brown
may offer. The question is:

HOW PARIS TEACHES
 ITS CANARY BIRDS

Paris1ans are so passTonarefy fond of canaTies that it is estimated there are 100000 of these birds in their city Writing in the Wide World magazine, Henri Gail1ard- the famous French canary trainer, gives some in- teresting particulars regarding his method of teaching his pets to s7ng
 Tine musical training of my pu- pdls,'' he says. 'tis conducted with the aid of a bird whistle or a fIageoIet. fortnight after the young bird has learned to feed itself it is put into a solitary cage, where, if it is a male. it soon begins to warbIe. The cage is then covered with white muslin and it's occupant is fed on colza seed and bread soaked in water. During the first week of isolation I don't allow him to hear the song of any other bird, and during the second week play only a few notes of me- diurn pitch every morning before his cage. After this advise covering the cage with very thick green or red serge. thus keeping the bird in dark ness until it has learned a few short musical phrases. How long does it take to train a canary to sing prop erly? Well, that all depends on the birds aptitude. I should say the time varies from two to six months''
