STANFORD'S GRID SQUAD
LOOKS GOOD TO WARNER

STAMFORD UNIVERSITY. Calf.
January 24.-Glenn Warner, veteran
Pittsburgh foot ball coach, who is
acting .as doctor called to diagnose
Stanford's gridiron ailments, is spend
ing this week examining the patient.
One of the first tics Warner
looked for on arriving here was a
picture of the 1921. Cardinal foot ball
squad, and on receiving 1t he re-
marked, about the number Of husky"
men in the photograph.
-rit certainly does not look as though
there WAS any lack OF promising ma
terial in that bunch" he said. ''Of
course, weight does not mean every
thing in foot ball and it is not ex-
ceptional to find small men among
the greatest stars Of the game. But
the theory that q good big man is
better than good little man still
holds"
warner said his first impression was
that foot ball material in the west is
as good. If not better, than in the
east. In the east, however. he added,
moro athletes are developed in the
preparatory schools.
Warmers contract with Pittsburgh
does not expire until 1924 and it il
possible that Stanford will try to in
duce him to come here at that time.
IN the meantime he is studying Stan
ford and Stanford 70 studying him.
