eastern end This leaves the western
end still without stands. and all of

How Foot Ball Is PLAYED

COACHES have found that team

power all through game. Yale
long ago adopted the principle of
Kicking the ball when they got
possession of it in their own terri-
tory. They found that it paid to
save their backs for better oppor-
tunities. Harvard next took the tip,
ed entirely on the kicking game for
the ball into the other teams territ

Andy Smith, California's coach, has
developed the kicking game to it's
highest point. II is California's stock
in trade. Andy has worked out a sys-
tenn in football along these lines: He
has heavy, feet ends and good punt
ers. They keep kicking all through
the first part Of the game and these
big ends tire out the opposing backs.
Naturally, his own backs, having lit
tie to do, save their strength. Cali
fornia plays for the. breaks. Once
the opposition fumb1es or pulls a
bone and the ball is California's in
the opponents territory, a team
fresh for attack launches one with

1t is not so with the foot ball in
structor. who must perforce quickly
make UP his mind, not only In select
ing the players who are to be ms
first string men, but in deciding MS
strategy for the season.
And the foot ball coach has sea
son of approximately ten weeks OF
actually elapsed time in which to &C
complish all this. This ten weeks Is
narrowed down to an average OF
something like three days week for
scrimmage work-in other words, thirty
days.
So the foot ball coach, who is to
become successful, finds early in his
career that he must have q mind OF
his own, make up that mind with no
loss of time, and then see the JOB
through as he has planned It, regard
less OF surface criticism, disgrun tied
alumni, well meaning, but annoying
debating societies, theorists and
dreamers about possibilities.
Display Mental Activity.
The student of psychology would
find much of interest to his studies in
following the recent mental peregri-
nations of those who are interested
enough in college athletics to devote
considerable time and money to the
subject. Take, for instance. the re-
cent meeting in New York of the
greatest group OF loot oall coaches
ever gotten together at one time.
Not a man of them who attended but
whose name is known wherever a
foot ball is kicked or passed.

mental agility, moral stamina, cour-
age and all that goes into the make
up of the real sportsman.
This gathering did have it's discus

four very brief sessions 1t got down
to the work in hand, decided what the
sense of the gathering was. and pro-
claimed it to the world without the
usual accompaniment Of extraneous
verbiage.
The coaches got together, decided
quickly what they would recommend
