What accomplished American signal uaief
could steal such "senales," especially when the
numbers are called rapidly?
A knowledge Of psychology is essential for
every foot ball coach. Last year Coach Root
was handicapped because he was not acquaint-
ed with the Latin temperament. This year he
knows that the Mexican is at times slow and
easy-going, but that he has a vast amount Of
potential surplus energy, which may explode
at any moment The difncult task for Root n
to make that surplus energy explode on the
foot bali field at the proper time.

and they can take punishment. The spirit Of

November
The continuance of foot ball on a large scale
had been made possible by donations of men
who were interested in the furtherance of this
American sport in Mexico. Harry Sinclair do
mated several thousand dollars. Ambassador
Dwight w. Morrow also was among the donors.
The 1890 schedulc opened with a night game
at Los Angeles. President Ortiz Rubio, who,
like Senior Portes Gil his predecessor is greatly
interested in sports and took liking to Amer
lean foot ball, designated Manuel Teller, Mexi-
can Ambassador in Washington. his personal
representative to attend the Mississippi game,
November 8.
When Coach Root first arrived in Mexico last
year, he Immediately had to go to work trying
to discover" players, since the handful of
pioneer "futbolistas" who had been instrument
tai in calling him to his new task were but a
bare nucleus of team. The Yale man secuted
around, and with almost unbelievable results
A MONG the players he found a remarkable
athlete, Manuel Landa, right end, who in
the Mississippi game last year established an
intercollegiate record by sharing II forward
pas es. Landa is 20 years old, is feet inches
in height and weighs 1872 pounds He is an
engineering student and has two more years
He is shot putter in track and a center in
basket ball.

Another find that Root made was Louis Mem

Just completed their last final exams the Mexi-
can "futbolistas" were practicing in dead

time to time by letters from Root, who at the
time was doing graduate work in law at Yale.
Throughout the Summer months the Mexicans
kept up their practicing, and during this time

PROCTOR PREDICTS
EXPANDING BUSINESS
Urges Steady Employment and
Study Of Needs as Two I'm
portant Factors.

'"The low point In the business de-
preston probably was reached in July
and we can look for a gradual approach
to normal business, which should be
attained some time during 1884," VIII
liam G. Proctor, president Of Proctor g.
Gamble Co. stated.
Col. Proctor urged the need for in
dustries studying the needs Of their
market and adjusting their employment
schedules accordingly, 30 as not to be
compelled to discharge large numbers
of workers during dull periods. The
Proctor & Gamble Co. set out to do this
seven years ago when q plan of guar
anteeing 40 weeks o year to all en-
ployes who had been with the company
longer than six months was adopted
That plan has been in effect since and
is proving its worth by enabling the
company to maintain its payroll prac-
tically intact.
The Ill effects Of irregularity OF
work can be lessened materially If
employers will study their markets and
analyze their position with reference to
these markets 50 as to avoid unneces-
sary expansion at one time and conse-
quent contraction later" Col. Proctor
said,
