ct started right in cussing the men who
reported for foot ball." said the present coach
at Stanford. But it had effect. The
Indians are different from white boys. The
more I cusSed that first day the less they
worked. They began to give me some pretty
nasty looks at odd moments, and had visions
of waking up some night to see my scalp in
the hands of a big fullback who's been standing
a few feet away from me- Well, the next day
there were only few men out, and I cussed
all the more. Before the first week was up,
had the pleasure of coming out the field
alone. There wasn't an Indian in sight. Finally
I spotted a group of them, including the
captain sitting under a tree. / asked him
what was the matter.
"Mr Coach said the captain, we like
for you to stop swearing at Mr.. Super
intendent say for us to come play foot ball. All
right. We come. We work hard like good
soldiers. You tell to do something and we
do it right and you tell dumb like nothing
and it is all right and we say sure and try
some more. But, Mr.. Coach, you can no swear
at u.s."
Warner said he got to thinking it all over
and decided the Indians were probably right.
CuSSing was no way to select a team or to get
together a winning combination
From that day on" he said II cut out

at the results. L haven't cusSed a team since

There are other players more stolid, their

ceive less credit for standing the gaf than the

desirable men to have upon q foot ball eleven

Is the ability to pick the right man for the

Glenn Pop Warner, famed mentor Of
Stanford gridmen, declares that game
ness is the prime requisite in foot ball.
emotional tension of major contests? Just
whom should he select for the varsity and how
should he go about it?
In this vast spread of possibilities in the way
of Imagination, temperament, character,
physique and courage which, blended together,
make the perfect foot ball player, the coach
spends his FAN afternoons experimenting, pick
ing and choosing in an attempt to get win
ming combination.
1.-The first thing I look for said Rockne OF
Notre Dame, lis resiliency Of mind, resource
fulness and power of analysis. I like 'em
smart, with lots of spark in their makeup;
the emotional urge that lifts man out of the
commonplace and sets his spirit on fire. Then
they must have the proper point of view, play
fairly, respect the rights of others and the
rules of the game My players must be pre-
pared to work hard, for no player gets very
far with me who doesn't give all he has every
minute of every game. I've got to have men
with q sense of responsibility, too, for there's
q Job for every position, from clearing path
for teammate to keeping out your man."
WHEN Rockne was picking his varsity at
w Notre Dame few years ago he had on
the squad an Adonis who was a sheik with
the ladies and a terror with the pigskn under
his arm. With comparatively easy effort the
player made the varsity. He Immediately saw
fit to stay away from practice for several days.
When he reported just before the opening
game Rockne ignored him, going so far as not
to make any inquiries about his absence. The
season opened without the Beau Brummel in
the lineup. Along toward the middle of the
season the player approached Rockne and de-
manded an explanation.
I'm just saving you," replied the coach.
Satisfied, the player continued to warm the
bench On the final day of the season just
before closing time the bewildered player went
to Rockne.
Going to use me today coach?"
mo-" replied Rockne I'm still saving you"
what for? This is the last game What
are you saving me for?"
1.-The junior PROM" said the coach
The incident is typical of Rockne whose
sense of humor lifts him above the ordinary
run of foot ball coaches who consider the game
q life-and-death struggle.
Fortunately Rockne is blessed with an album
dance of rugged lads, usually of Irish ancestry,
with a natural love of combat Some of them
need veneer of ego to ward off the sarcastic
remarks of their coach. But he is not taken
lightly. There is story told about Rockne
rebuking some Of his men for appearing at
foot ball practice with clean-shaven faces. He
intimated, quite forcibly. that he considered

right position Ernie Movers, ranked as one
of the immortals of All-America fame, started
out his freshman year at Stanford as q medic
ere end. Before he was graduated he was the
sensation Of the Pacific coast and was named
as fullback on mythical all-star teams through
out America
In selecting his varsity Warner has the
knack of detecting ability. He makes star
guards out of poor quarterbacks, dependable
ends out of cratic centers and vice versa.
His systematic Warner system, so often
mentioned wherever foot ball men gather to
talk about the game-has taken 80 years to
build up. Today it is Of the Simplest and
most effective in foot ball.
Because Glenn Warner understands men. he
Is not hidebound in his treatment of them. ISe
can tell one player to take three extra laps
around the field after the rest of the varsity
are through for the day. Often he detects a
mans tagging step and orders him to stay
away from foot ball practice for few days.

SETN selecting my varsity men," said Bill
Roper of Princeton, IT seek players with
nerve and cheerfulness, who do not complain
too readily of bumps and discouragements and
bruises. Every coach knows that there will be
trying times before the season is half over and
that the morale of the team is best maintained
by lively spirit OF optimism on the part OF
the players. For that reason, the first thing
I look for is the boy with natural love of
the game, expressed in keen competitive
spirit and endowed with desire to shoulder up
through the vicissitudes of hard grind.
ITO pick eleven on the first day or the
first week would be impossible and unwise
like to see competition for varsity places alive
and keen right up to the final games This
cannot be accomplished without stirring up
enthusiasm and giving the boys who slow
starters chance to come through. Foot ball.
within limitations, is craft, an art boy
with an abundance of natural ability must be
trained to meet its rigid requirements. 1t is
up to the coach to pick out the real players
and then develop the others as he goes along.
This takes experience and skill. Even the best
coaches make mistakes.
II have always believed that the successful
coach studies his squad and learns the dis
positions and temperaments of every player.
Then he has a chance to get the best out of
each man. 1t has been my experience that
some players work best under encoura cement.
few have to be driven, but not many. A good
word will accomplish more than a call-down
with the average boy. I've seen many splen-
did foot ball men ruined by improper handling,
while mediocre players have risen to the
heights by being touched in the right spot"
But every coach knows the value of a good

PREPARE FOR LAST STAND.
Rebels Lay Concrete Foundations at
NOgaleS.

NOGALES, Ariz, April 10 CP.-Indi-
cations that the Mexican revolutionary
forces were preparing for a last stand
against the federal armies at the No.
gales, Sonora, rebal stronghold. appeared
today.
Rebel troops were busy laying concrete
foundations for artillery pieces hard by
the American border. Two emplace-
ments were located on high hills east
national line. Two others were being
set up on hilltops about mile south OF
the brder.
Fur 75-miIlimeter (3-inch) guns
were said to be in the vicinity of the
emplacementS. Whether these were the
four guns which were reported to have
passed through Mexican Nogales yester-
day was not known. Rebel leaders al
that time said the four pieces were be-
ing moved toward Naco, Sonora, % miles
east of here. Naco Is in the hands OF
the federals.
The preparations at Nogales, Sonora
the arrival of Gen. j. Gonzalo Escobar
rebel commander in-chief, at Aqua
Prieta, SO miles east of here, last night
and the retreat of rebel armies into
Sonora from two directions convinced
border observers that the revolutionaries
were expecting to line up along the
border for what may be the final phase
Of the uprising.
Whether the rebels will attempt to
clear the international border of their
federal foes before the expected stand
at Nogales remained an enigma to OBJ
servers. Several complications appeared
in the ofing.
Naco, Sonora, is held by about 1000
loyal troops under Gen. Lucas Con-
zalez. Gen. Fausto Topete, rebel COM
mander, with forces said to number
1000, has attacked the little garrison
several times without success. Being
able to advance upon the garrison from
the south only, his forces have fired
into American territory. This brought
10 American fighting planes and force
Of United States Cavalry to the border
with orders to prevent further firing
into this country. Since then Topete
has hcsitated to attack for fear that
some Of his bullets might stray across
the line and draw the fire Of the Ameri-
can Army forces.
