Z world by unexpected defeat OF some
/ team believed invincible, the same
thing has always been found to exist
among the winning gridders-an ef-
fort to make a strong team rather
than for individuals to star. The most
I harmonious teams are most success
full A team OF giants cannot succeed
when they quarrel among themselves
and look TO personal glory rather
than team work
Tommy Nelson does not belong to
that class OF boxers who send in ac-
counts OF their Victories and dodge
accounts OF their defeats. Recently
Tommy was 0utpointed at the Vernon,
I Cal, arena. by Eddie Landon. Tom
I my Immediately sent a COPY OF q Los
angeles paper describing his defeat to
I e. Paso newspapers IN point Of fact,
this is Just a little better than Tom
my sometimes does when he wins. Mel
son was not decisively defeated in
the bout and had he had the inclina-
ton might have claimed that he was
raw dealed" or something OF that
kind, which boxers use too frequently,
but he didn't Tommy IS right The
public ike an honest boxer.
It IS not difficult TO gage an ath-
lete's nerve II he may be observed in
practice and his work compared with
that In the actual contest Some who
look like champions in practice are
( invariably defeated when Il comes 10
the final test They never show I'd
as well in actual trial as in training.
Often repeated this Is a sure sign
that nerve IS lacking. Others show
approximately the same results in
training and IN contests. showing
more steady nerve. still another
! class IS stimulated by the combat
and do better than in practice. In
this class belong the greatest ath-
Shaffer. the fast. effective halfback
OF the Ninth engineers. Is a splendid
example OF class No. 3. In practice
Shatfer never shows up overly bril-
liant In real action he Is star. It
Is said by those who have watched
him practice goal kicks from the
field that he has never been expert
IN his attempts Yet. when Il came
to the pinch he has made the only
three he tried during the seasons
schedule. When the Ninth eleven
played the Recruits Shaffer tied the
score with his toe. making a pretty
neid goal and enabling his eleven to
win later. He made the second one
against the Eighth engineers and the
third In the post season game against
either the game against the Recruits
or the Seventh riders. both games
must have been lost to the engineers.

Of the Ninth engineers. has secured /
his discharge and left for his native /
state OF Arkansas Maybe those who /
saw Estes tearing down the field last /
busting holes through the 1
opposition line. stopping the Seventh /
halves and making gains in spite Of 1
all opposition, did not associate the 4
big cyclone with a professor Of math- /
ematics. yet that IS Lieut. Estes's vo-
cation in civil life. Before entering 4
the army he held down a chair at I
Arkansas university and Is returning
to accept his old position soon
MAJ. L z. Atkins. commanding the
Ninth engineers. takes exception to
the statement that the Seventh cav
airy football team would have been
yictors over the Ninth gridders had
the referee allowed the gain made by
slam" Wilson on the occasion when
Wilson was alleged to have run out
u bounds. Says Mai Atkins. Grant
ing that the fun distance run BY VIII
son to the point where he was tackled
be allowed, and that the gain there
after made By the Seventh was great /
Enough in extent 20 have placed them
over the line, even then feel GER
ain that the calculation Is wrong IN
his: Those who Witnessed the game
VIII remember that the Ninth held
letter as the Seventh approached
heir goal line That would have hap
'ened sooner had Wilson's run been
.lowed and the Seventh held at about
he same point where they actually
we're held, IN all probability. More

When Moore made a lateral mass to . ,

ield that the pass was an incomplete /
onward pass. It was obvious TO spec
ators who know the game that Il ! !
vas a tumble on a lateral pass. The
ninth was entitled TO this goal Even !
lad the Seventh made a goal after ,
Wilson's first run, this goal OF the

owed, would offset Il and the final ] :
esult would have been practically
he same. with the Ninth in the lead. /
