ARMY GETTING READY
FOR GAME WITH ELPS

WEST POINT. n. Y, October 81
Army is making its final drive to meet
the Yale Bulldog on Saturday in the
Bowl at New Haven.
Army had rather an easy time de-
feating st. Louis Saturday. Although
the score was only ~ to 0. not one of
Army's first string line-from tackle
TO tackle-was in the game. Baxter
and Born. ends. got in but few
minutes. Wilson and Harding were
also kept out.
The second team line which played
and they are Army's best substi-
tutes-did not show up to very good
advantage.
Gilbreth, who was forced out of the
st. Louis game with torn shoulder
ligaments, is expected back to prac-
tice by tomorrow. He may be ready
for Yale. If not the Army will lose
the services of one of its best backs.
The only question left for McEwan
and the other coaches is to bring the
team along to the proper edge by
Saturday.
Army hasn't beaten Yale since 1911,
when il won, 6 to 0. The following year
Yale turned the tables by the same
score. Relations We're then discon-
tinued until 1921. The last four games
resulted in two ties and two defeats
for the Army.

PSYCHOLOGY is MAIN
FACTOR IN GRID PLAY
BY MYRON f.. WITHAM,

Coach of Foot Ball at University of Colorado
BOULDER, Colo, October 27.-This
seasons foot ball upsets and the
showings of individual teams dem
onstrate again that the proper men
tai attitude on the part of players
is % per cent of the game. Self
consciousness is the main factor in
the psychology of foot ball.
Lack of experience appears as the
common cause of the self conscious
ness which has played a part in af-
feCtinG the showing of teams in this
section. The Importance of the
games outcome. the responsibility
on the players. the reputation of op-
ponents confuse and unsteady the in
experienced man.
Perhaps the most serious cause of
self consciousness is the prevailing
tendency of the player to regard the
instructions of the coaches as iron
clad and mechanical in contrast with
the true purpose of instruction,
namely, To guide and aid the player
To Il complete mastery of the science
of foot ball. As n result the PLAYER
should react naturally and will use
his reSourccfulness to apply the
science TO the hundred and one un-
foreseen and unforeseeable situations
with which he is confronted
/ Lack of mutual confidence and good
will among the men of the team is
another fruitful cause OF Self-con-
sciousness. Mental and fraternal
team work is as essential as physical
and mechanical team work.
The very common attitude that one
position is more important than an
other, accentuated by large space
given by newspapers to backtield
players. tends TO make the men in
those positions more self-conscious.
Players need to realize that every
play is a play of the whole team,
and that the man carrying the ball Is
no more of "a star or hero than the
man opening the hole of running
effective interference.
Confidence and mastery grow with
success. The result of the first play
in a game is of the greatest impor-
tance. Ii the team on its first play
makes a good start, the confidence
of the team is increased manifoldly.
All of these things cause the sue
cessful coach to realize that psychol-
oSy makes up three quarters OF the
game.

FOOT BALL SECRETS
BY SOL METZGER.-
THROWING A FORW ARD PASS,

Throw the ball with slight alec
tory arc, as I'm the first illustration,
and not almost OH a straight line to
the receiver, as i'm the second illustra-
tion. when making forward pass
The reason Is quite apparent. In the
first case, when properly thrown. a
forward pass will clear any opponent
whom the receiver has run by, where
as, in the second case, the intervening
opponent will catch the pass, as pie
tured above.
The arc throw is not difficult to
master, and it will mean a far larger
number of passes caught by the team
throwing them than by any other
method. The throw should be made
so that the receiver is compelled to
take it. When such accuracy is OBJ
tained, very few passes will be inter.
Cepted by intervening opponents.

ALL GRID CONTESTS
ARE DIFFICULT NOW
BY J. W. HEISMA\,
Director of Foot Ball. Rice Institute.

HOUSTON. October 21.-The good
old days of foot ball-those days when
a coach could take his time. develop a
team carefully and point for one or
two big gameS-are gone forever.
Now every game is a battle TO the
death. with each bridge successfully
crossed just one little burden off the
shoulders of the coach and team. An
other nerVe-racking, grueling contest
is sure TO be ahead.
This state of affairs the country over
contributes heavily TO the general
change in foot ball noted especially
this year. There are no real practice
games. with all teams tough and liable
to upset you. 1t makes OF foot ball Il
much sterner and at the same time a
much more appealing game than in
days gone by.
All teams seem to have been brought
along faster, both in their game and
in physical condition, this year than
ever before. The strong early season
opposition here as we'll as in other
sections is responsible.

GRID DEFENSE GOOD
IN MISSOURI VALLEY

KANSAS CITY. Mo. October =
CP).-Defense instead Of offense has
featured the play on the Missouri
Valley griiiron this season with the
result that y-alley teams show u re-
markably low scoring average
The stonewall defense of the valley
teams this year perhaps was best
displayed in the Missouri- Kansas
Aggie and Nebraska Kansas games
last week. Time and again Missouri
threatened the AgGie goal only to be
repulsed. Once Missouri took the ball
to the Aggie LIZARD line and had
downs to go. The Aggie line held
and Missouri lost the ball on downs.
Missouri field goal was the only
score.
Ten times Nebraska took the ball
within the Kansas 15-yard line and
10 times the Jayhawkers held. The
Cornhuskers succeeded in getting
over two touchdownS.
The Missouri Valley scores are in
contrast with some OF fhe large
Eastern and Big Ten teams such as
Columbia University, with a total Of
1876 points, Fordham with 1863, Syra.
cuse with 153, Michigan with 156
and Minnesota with 9S.
Iowa State leads the valley in
SCoIInS WITH 1t lOtdl OF 30 points anu
four games plaEed-an average OF
10 a game. This total, however, was
bolstered in two games with weak
opponents
Missouri. which shares the head
ing of the valley standings with Iowa
State, has scored only 80 points in
four games, or an average of l2l2
game.
Other valley teams have even lower
totals. Washington standing at the
foot of the list with an average of
less than five points a game.
Following are the points scored by
Missouri Valley teams Gncluding non

Brunette is a good back, but for
some reason he hasn't come up to ex-
pectations.
In the Canisius game, which the Ma
rines lost by the margin of Il field
goal, the old war horse Goettge,
could stand ii no longer. He couldn't
sit idly on the bench in his service
uniform and see the Marines go down
to three point defeat. So, hastily
donning a grtdiron outfit. he went in
four minutes before the final whistle
blew
Three times in succession he carried
The ball, and each time smashed
through for a big gain until he had
advanced the leather 40 yards to
Canisius' 12-yard mark. Then. to give
him temporary respite to get his
breath for the final drive. his quarter
called another backs signal. The
back fumbled and Canisius recovered.
The whistle blew before the Marines
could regain possession of the ball.
Goettge had not been in training
and the second time he carried the
ball he dislocated his shoulder. How
ever. he stayed in the contest until
the game ended.

OPEN GAME PRAISED
BY DAILY OF HARVARD
BY MAI. CHARLES DAILY.

Associated in Coaching at Harvard University
CAMBRIDGE. October 27.-The
character of the game Of foot ball Is
changing. Forward passes. which
were formerly regarded as much like
trick plays, are now being mixed with
the running plays almost fifty-fifty.
Moreover, whereas the running plays
were considered the first element OF
the attack and the passes were held
until it was foreseen that the running
plays were stopped, now the pass is
thrown on any down as an offensive
move. sharing equally with the run
ming game. Thus we have a kind OF a
Glorified basket ball atmosphere on
the gridiron.
The spectator gets an afternoon full
of thrills from this development. The
spectacular features of the forward
pass bring the crowd to its feet time
and time aEain-and with justification.
as the play leads to or often ends in
4 score.
Such has been the character of the
midseason Eastern games. Yale's
touchdoWns over Brown were in two
cases preceded by substantial ground
gaining passes. and in Dartmouth's 3
victory over Harvard the forward
pass was used continuously and effec-
lively.
The Dartmouth team is worthy of
note. 1t is a high scoring machine,
with a diversified attack and a fair
kicking game. However. il is in the
personnel that Dartmouth rises to the
unusual. Almost every player on the
Dartmouth team Is a capable. expert
enced performer, and, along the line.
Parker. Diehl. Smith and Tulley are
especially strong. The backs show
Dartmouth at its best. Oberlander
is really outstanding player, hard.
fast runner. with a fine straight arm.
and he is easily one of the star backs
of the East.
