N-A 49,,
Games III AntWerp.

Philadelphia. Pa. Nov. 20.--There
is no reason" says Lawson Robert
son, the famous Pennsylvania trainer
under whose direction Ted Meredith
recently placed himself. why Mere
dith should not regain the form he
showed IN the Stockholm olympics in
1912. IN my opinion it only is a
question Of Teds mental state. II
he has not lost all the glamour OF
the game, II he really means business,
he certainly viii be able 10 round into
form that viii gain him a place on
Uncle Sans Antwerp aggregation
There is no need Of talking about
TED coming back for the truth Of
the matter is he never went Ted
never gave up athletics. While he
has not competed this season he mas
been exercising and taking care Of
himself The layoft probably has
done him more good than harm
4 reiterate that everything depends
on Meredith's state Of mind II ne
still feels the old glory Of sport and
III tho game has not lost any Of its
lustre Re viii be there with the bells
on by the time the American team
sails for Antwerp.
After a man has been in the game
as long as Meredith and has won as
many championships the glory o. 10
all generally begins TO fade. That
Is why So many champions IAN %
regain their form or come back
Paraphrasing a wen known saying
the flesh IS willing but the spirit

Spirit that drives them on 70 hard

dence throughout the game, particu-
larly on the receiving end OF forward
passes. II was, In a large measure
his ability TO grab the leather out OF
the air which made Tor the great sue
cess OF the Purple in the aerial game
And that same green sweater was
largely in evidence on the defence
II could be seen emerging from the

The purple made no mistake in adding
Murphy to the lineup
MINERS SHOULD JUMP
INTO THE NEUTRAL ZONE.
There was one weakness, and one
only. shown in the play Of the Miners
line in their last game This lay in
their failure TO take advantage Of the
neutral zone" Instead OF plugging
forward. TO either sweep the opposing
linemen off their feet or at least %
meet them half way. they waited for
the attack 70 come 70 them By 50
doing they not only lost The yardage
Of the neutral zone but placed them
selves at a disadvantage
Despite the one weakness, the
work OF the Mines line T. a SPLEEN
did tribute TO "Docs Wells who
has coached them Starting late
In the season. he had only n crowd
Of very green. though willing
youngsters. From this aEEreEu-
tion he has developed a powerful
line, one which will prove a men
ace 10 any team once they carry
ont DOGGY instructions 10 plunge
Into that neutral zone.
The Miners ertatnly owe Doc" a
vote OF thanks. for he alone saved the
situation. The late start would have
prevented Tommy Dyer from devoting
to the line the time and attention
necessary TO develop it TO its present
I strength. The more important back
field demanded his almost undivided
attention. With the original green
ness OF the Mines lineup coupled with
the late start and the impussibility
Of Dyer giving the players Individual
attention, unless he sighted the back
field, the showing OF the Mines line
would probably have been a sorry one
had not Wells volunteered his ser
vices. Football Is the better for
knowing men Of his ealiber.
MINERS NEED DUMMY
FOR TACKLING PRACTICE
The school OF Mines Is unfor'
tunata IN lacking a tacklnig rumuny
IL has been notable that the tackling
Of some OF the Miners has been some
what higher than It should be. as well
as sometimes lacking that fierreness
which IS so effective And iris weak
! ness is largely due to the lack OF the
tackliuE dummy amongst the equip
ment. However, coach Dyer is put
ting the team through stiff tacklinE
practice this week and there viii be
considerable Improvement in the next
game.
A pleasant feature Of the game
Saturday came from the school Of
Mines roofing section. Goodwin
RnEsdnle was injured and forced
to retire from the game after re-
covering n long forward pass. As
he was assisted from the field the
Mines roofing section burst forth
in n EtacnttO OF @rahs,s with the
customary thrice-repented eRaEa-
daleu at the end. The exhibition
was not only n nice lesson in
workmanship but a splendid and
deserved tribute TO GoodWln'H
