ward declares luck and the enerny's
poor game brought victory, ID a
stanch believer in the value OF
psychology. His teams are versed
In its use.
Above all. Dobie has created q
psychological reaction to his teams
and himself that amounts to q le-
gend. This results from his almost
painful attention to the details OF
preparation. He seeks no stars and
insists on team work Every man
In the squad must perfect himself
In charging, tackling, forming inter-
ference, blocking, throwing, catch
ing the ball and assisting the man

says perfect" he means just that.
Another thing that counts heavily
In making the Dobie system a sue
cess is his insistence that his men
stand high In their classes Only
good students make the squad. This
insures hard and intelligent work
ers.
Sure Of his men ana his methods,
Dobie has been known to tell
enemy scouts what plays he would
use and even to diagram them. This
did not prevent their successful APP
plication. His famous ''three-up.
and-out" play, In which he sends
all his backs and his guards against
the opposing end and tackle. has
been secuted and diagramfned so
often that it would seem impossible
to continue its use. But, SO pre-.
cisely is 1t timed and executed un.
der his mastery direction It re-.
mains almost unstoppable.
Dobie played four years at the
University of Minnesota, being grad
uated In 1909. He was assistant
coach at Minnesota in 1903-4-5. In
1867 he was head coach at the
University Of South Dakota. He
directed the destinfes Of the Univer-
sity of Washington eleven from
1908 to 1915, and during the last
seven years of that period his
teams never lost a game.
