suit in one of the best played
contests of the gridiron season.
Both aggregations are coached by
thorough sportsmen and brainy
instructors. The beating that

1t is about the smartest blocking
team that has been developed in
years. Some of Pop Warmers famous
Carlisle Indian elevens were known
for their ability to block would-be
tacklers. Neale's pupils exhibited the
fine qualities that made the Redskins
one Of the most feared teams on the
gridiron.

Neale has received maximum re-
suits from his labors. He deserves
great credit for his fine work. Crit
ics rate him on a par with the best
coaches the game has ever pro-
duced. His lads are sure to battle
hard to keep their states clean on
Saturday.
Pop Warner is given credit Tor
having introduced more football
formations than any other person
associated with the sport. he mas
developed some Of the greatest
teams Of all time.
During his days at Cornell he
played well enough to be picked on
the All-American eleven. AS head
coach at Carlisle Indian School he
put the Redskins on the football
map. His career at Pittsburgh has
been a most successful one.
With the material that he was
given in the past two years his sue
cess has been simply marvellous. No
other coach could have accomplished
as much as has Warner.
The fact that the lads outplayed
