 Eight errors, committed by the Nathan Hale team just at the wrong times, greatly helped the Willow Brook team to score a ] ! to 10 vic tory in the game that was played on Diamond No. 2. John Smithwick, director-in-chief of the playsrounds, opened the contest by tossing over the first ball.
 For the first two innings the game was a tight battle. In the third, Willow Brook broke the ice by scoring one run but in the last half of the session, Nathan Hale came back and staged rally that netted four runs. This opened the way for plenty of scoring.
 The third saw the Willow Brook contingent slap out three hits, one a triple. another a doNble and third a single. for two runs while the Nathan Hales failed to cross the plate.
 
 Brook went into the lead. Three hits and four errors, coupled with a few stolen bases gave the winners q collection of four runs which added 10 what they already had, put them in the lead of to f.

exceptional record the next season,
/ slunps, to the surprise Of most OBJ
servers. Often the chief cause has
been the loss of two or three players
whose infectious buoyancy mad played
a far greater part in the success OF the
team than any one knew.
One coach told me the loss Of three
men of this desirable type had left him
mere shell of team, although on
paper it looked as If his squad should
be stronger than before. His team was
strong in every mechanical detail, but
that was not enough.
Bob Reitsch, captain of the Illinois
champions of 1927, was a fine leader
because his spirit infected the squad.
Garland Grange, younger brother Of
Red" was an asset for the same rea-
son. Garland was developing nicely
as an end, and it is too bad he didn't
complete his university course.
Light Remarks Tonic.
Even in the stress of actual competi-
ton some remark with a light touch
may act as tonic to your team. Blair
French, one of our quarterbacks in 1927
spoke with q quaint Southern Illinois
accent, and when on defense he ex-
horted his teammates to "let 'em have
it," with a peculiar emphasis on the
'it." They chuckled inwardly and
fought little bit harder as q result.
A coach can sense this buoyant spirit
when he assemblies his players for a
talk on the lessons of the game which
has just been played and the problems
Of the coming contest.
They will listen intently. alertly, to
the coach and follow his chalk intelh-
gently as he gives q blackboard drill.
But "wisecrack" by the coach or o
tons by a player viii send ripple Of
laughter over the room.
Best Teams Happy Families.
The best teams are happy families.
enjoying jokes on each other, but united
when the time for action arrives. That
brings teamwork. The difference be-
tween champions and near-champions
is the ability to play for something OUT
side of self.
In 1927, regretfully, we decided we
would have to bench big Bubbles"
Mitterwallner, our elephant guard, IN
the final game at Ohio State. Bubbles"
knew all week that he was not going
to get chance in his last college game,
but he took his medicine manfully,
joshed his teammates and helped pre-
serve our splendid spirit.
Foot ball squads will always be COM
posed of varied personalities, and many
men will be of the type backward in
expressing its individuality But deliver
me from one which lacks the valuable
leaven provided by those whose gay
spirit buoys up their companions. Foot
ball teams should not be "cocky'' and
complacent, but they should look on the
bright side of things.

team across big in this, his last
year of coaching.
Harvard has a lateral pass that
will give any team trouble. 1t starts
with a man in motion. Thus when
No. back runs across, as shown in

look out for the lateral. Backs
have to act fast to dope that out.
To do so they tend to move with

The neat part of the play occurs
Is No. 3 runs by in front of his fell
