Some years ago Minnesota had the
most complex shift plays ever used
in foot bali Minnesota was losing
team. While the Minnesota team
could engage in many and intricate
shifts. the pla yers were deficient in
charging. blocking and tackling and
were beaten consistently. They used
so much time learning the shifts that
they had no time TO master the
fundamentals.
One of the big Eastern elevens
went through season using only
six different plays in each game. II
was winning team.
No eleven should use more than 80
plays and 20 will often suffice.
Twenty plays thoroughly learned
will be of more value to any team
than 1913 only partly learned.
All great coaches realized this long
ago. What plays they give team
are held out OF games until the play
ers have been drilled in them to per
fection.
Plays are about the same all over
the Country-~in the East in the Mid
die West, the Far West and the
South.

Scouts Pass Plays Along.
A new foot ball play travels over
the country faster than a new joke.
Foot ball scouts are largely re-
hponsihe for this. The scout sees a
play diagrams 1t and passes it along
Willie he is seeing and while he is
diagramming and describing the play
n dozen scouts will be doing the same
thing. Within a few weeks all the
ma jor elcvens in the country will
know the play.
You hear about the SECRETS OF va
stous coaching systems. You have
Of course. read about the secrets
Of what newspapers refer to as the
Haughton system, the YoSt system
the Warner system and any number
Of other systems. but what is there
secret about them?
If play is a secret it cannot help
the team that has 1t. AS soon as it is
used the play no longer is a secret
At least 10000 people can see 1t at
any big game. 1t becomes every
bodys property as soon as a team
uses II.
Coaches develop players each year
and many of them go out as coaches
They will, of course, use the system
that they learned under.
Most Of our leading coaches teach
in Summer schools. These schools
Rre conducted to develop coaches
What these instructors teach is the
system they use. Instead of trying
10 keep it a secret, they spend their
Summers telling those who care TO
listen all about it.
Many of the colleges send scouts
TO important games. The scouts are
instructed TO look for new angles OF
play. new ideas. In these ways does
foot ball become pretty much the
same in all sections of the country.
What one team introduces all other
teams will soon he able to adopt.
The human equation must. of
course. always be considered. 1t is
this human equation that prevents
the style Of two foot ball teams being
exactly alike. The style cannot he

are exactly alike. The players differ
physically and tempeIamentally.

tons success while at Harvard.
Haughton always built the play to
suit the physical ability of the man
and the relative abilities of the men:
he never tried to make the man fit the
play.
Change Play to Fit Team.
You may see a ma jor team use a
certain style of offense for two or three
years and then change. The coach is
compelled to change because the play
ers that carried on that particular
style of play for two or three years
have been graduated and the men that
succeeded them are different types
physically. He has to change his
style to suit them.
Teams have often tried to use the
exact style of another team with dis
astrous results. The coach discovered
that while the other team had men
suite to the particular methods en-
ployed. his own players were not
suited to it,
Here I am referring to detailed
style. The general style of offense
and defense is the same all over the
country. Foot ball is similar every
where.
