worked with them at every chance, on
and off the field
AS q result Haughton's Quarterbacks
were among the Smartest In the game
He refused TO let them be ball carriers
or to figure in any part OF the attack
that might upset their physical and
mental balance.
He wanted them cool and clear
headed, strictly on the job of running a
foot ball team in the right way.
Rockne has had a slightly different
idea. He has worked along the lines of
building up such field generals as Harry
Stuhldreher and Carideo. Yet these
men had to be good blockers and to be
strong defensive men against the for
ward pass.
recall story Rockne told me years
ago. He played certain conference
team and was beaten. In that game
Notre Dame made over 500 yards
agaiESs 80 yards 1t was the complete
inability of his quarterback to handle
the job.
There is no use" Roclsne said then,
''of making ali the ground and losing
the game. After this I'll let the other
fellows make the first downs and we'll
try TO win the game through strategy
and smartness. / believe strategy and
smartness are bigger part of foot ball
than mere brute force.
Rockne has worked along that line
ever since. With the snartly devised
offensive he had arranged It might have
been of less than half value without a
high-class quarterback. Yet it must be
remembered that Rockne had worked
with Carideo for three years. The right
plays and the material are first neces-
sary. But smart quarterback play Is
then the scoring factor between two
teams well matched in other respects.
Quarterback Value.
THERE is another instance of quar-
L terback value. 1t is shown in the
case of Dodd of Tennessee. Dodd
was match for Carideo in this respect.
II Dodd had been at Notre Dame and
Carideo at Tennessee, Dodd would have
been unanimously picked as all-America
quarterback. In his three years at Ten
nessee he figured in just one losing
game, and on any number Of occasions
his keen directing strategy saved the
day. several times when the odds were
against him.
The Old Wham.
THE Athletics still have the old
i wllack or wham. They still have
Cochrane. Simmons and Foxx.
And II these three have an of day Bling
Miller or Mule Haas is not to be over
looked In pinch
They still need one more winning
pitcher to Join Grove and Earnshaw.
but even with moderate pitching the
big punch is still there. And no one
team ever had as many batters who are
always dangerous in a pinch. They have
at least five men on the Athletics who
are likely TO break up a matinee at a
moments notice, and the heavier the
pressure the more dangerous these five
! are.
II Walberg happens to regain control
and step into pretty good year 1t will
| take a.lot of base ball to keep this dele
| cation from its third pennant in a row.
| And that doesn't mean possibly.

The Main Factor.
: NE Of the most interesting de-
velopments OF Yale's Spring
J foot ball practice, now under

foot Dali practlce, now unoer
way, will be the school of
quarterback strategy, which Coach
Stevens and his aides are now launch
ing.
Yale is lucky to have as smart field
general as Benny Friedman on the
scene. for it is doubtful II foot ball ever
knew a smarter director than the for
mer Michigan star.
There has been q feeling for some
years that Yale has been badly shy in
quarterback strategy since the Gays
of Lyle Richeson on Mallorys team.
Since Richeson left the Eli turf there
has been no outstanding general TO pro-
vide the necessary tactics and strategy
that the modern game demands. Few
realize the tremendous importance OF e
Friedman or a Carideo Such directors
are far apart and the team that gets
one even approaching this standard Is
lucky up to the hilt.
1t may be impossible to develop the
strategy needed for a great quarterback
unless part of the genius Is born within.
But Yale feels that it Is quite possible
to make good quarterback from the
instructions given In the right school.
It Is for this reason that all Yale
quarterbacks for 1891 will be put
through thorough schooling during
the Spring practice. This is something
that Yale, especially, and several other
institutions have needed Tor some time
