The trouble with the two-thirds

AS TOLD BY A. A. STAGG (Head Coach, University of Chicago)

On every football team are a few men whose ability makes them stand out above their fellows. Accomplish ing unusual feats, they become the stars of their machine and their names are frequently seen in the newspaper head lines. Often an invaluable possession --personally-adds to their popularity with followers of the game.
 On each eleven, also, are lads whose value is just as great as their more spectacular associates But somehow they don't break into the limelight they do what they have to do so unos. tentatiously that it passes unnoticed.
 Nevertheless, if they are injured and a substitute takes their place in the lineup, the team quicgly appreciates their loss.
 Important Game
 One of the most important games in which the University of Chicago ever took part was the one with Princeton at Palmer Stadium, October 21, 1921. It was the foremost intersectional meet ing of the year; in fact, not in many years had team representing an in stitution of the standing of Chicago journeyed east to battle as prominent a contestant as Princeton. Naturally the struggle was a bitter one from start to finish, producing it's full quota of stellar performances and outstanding figures. The newspapers of the next day devoted much space to the latter; but curiously enough, the man who, from the Chicago viewpoint, had performed the most val uable service was not even mentioned.
 This does not mean that the chron- iclers of the game were partial in their
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-14

references to the star players; it does mean that this particular Maroon did his allotted task with such skilful quiet and expedition that he attracted no at- tention.
 Crisler Dependable.
 Blunt this performance :, IS typical of Right End Crisler; although his work counted heavily in every game he played, he managed, somehow, to keep modestly in the background. consider him to have been fine all- American timber but the critics did not so rate him. Of course it was impos- sible for anyone, but myself, who was near to him, to know his real worth.
 If anything were needed to demo- strate Crisler's importance as a Maroon cog, his playing in the game against Princeton supplied it. Although no one outside the two teams knew it, he was the man who effectually stopped Neck, the All-American Princeton tackle. In doing this, he attained one of the vital objectiyes of our strategy, for Keck was the outstanding member of the Tiger eleven, a man of whom it was said that he could handle any two men lined up opposite him.
 SmaHer Mhn IHHn heck, HOO
 Crisler did this notwithstanding the fact that he was inches shorter and pounds lighter than the big Tiger star, who was six feet and one inch tall and weighed POO pounds, That he was successful does not disparage the ability of Keck. It simply means that Crisler analysed all Princeton plays with un- erring accuracy and 50 was able to ap- ply his own speed and strength to the very best purpose.
 To climax his feats that afternoon he helped lay the groundwork for the play which formed Chicago's main attack on the Princeton goal.
 Good Passing Team
 It should be stated that when the Maroon journed east to Princeton, we came with reputation as skillful for ward-passing team. It was expected that our attack would be mainly an aerial one. Perhaps Princeton's belief that this would be the case was strengthened by the fact that it had an exceedingly strong line, including the powerful Keck, the efficient center, Wittmer, and Hooper, right tackle, which it did not think we would try to penetrate. This seems to have been the case, for, on defense, the Orange and Black spread out its line, left only six
