Christians Horned Frogs launch in the
Sugar Bowl foot ball battle at New
Orleans on New Year day.
Coach Bernie Moore's work of pre-
pairing his gridmen for the acid test
of their careers is over, for all prac-
tical purposes.
It's a question whether the Bayou
Tigers will regain the peak form they
displayed in the last games of the
regular season. If they do, Moore,
while making no prediction of VIC
tory, has said 1t will be some game" "
Has Three Full Teams.
THE Louisiana State squad is COM
posed of three full teams and
there is little difference between the
"a" and ''B" elevens. All three teams
have been drilled in defenses against
the passes of Sammy Baugh and the
Frogs battering ground attack.
Practice has been secret, but it is
expected that Abe Mickal-whose ad-
mirers believe is every bit as good as
Baugh-will go in to stage q passing
duel with "Slingin' SAM" and that
when he isn't in the game L. S. D.
will depend on the heaving of Bill
Grass. Jess Fatherree and Pat Coffee.
1t also is figured that Louisiana State
will unleash plenty of running power

increase the effectiveness Of lateral
passing without producing any un-
desirable features. -
Perhaps it has served It's purpose
In bringing about widespread expert
menting with the lateral pass and
further development of this type of
play can proceed without its aid, II
indeed it gives any aid"
Besides giving the officials a verbal
pat on the back, mentioning injuries
and fatalities, Okeson's report brought
out the necessity for a common basis
Of collegiate anu high school rules.
The National Federation of High
Schools wrote its own rules about
three years ago, differing somewhat
from the college code Since players

to have the two sets of rules differ

Shaughnessy Asks for Saner
altitude TOWARD Grid Mentor;
Minimizes Importance of Job

are only four factors involved in the
development Of winning foot ball
teams. The first and most important
is the matter of material; the second
is the matter of facilities and time for
practice, the third is the selection Of
easy opponents. and the fourth and
least important is the matter of coach
ing.
1T is my opinion that foot ball
coaches should not be in any way
responsible for getting material.
There isn't a college in the country
that expects its faculty to round up
students to teach. - We should
not be expected to organize alumni
or other groups and go into the high
ways and byways looking for ma
terial. ="
This business Of blaming the
coach for the migration Of foot ball
material over the country is not fair.
No coach can get very far proselyting
If the school that employs him does
not want him to proselyte.
nave NO DeSlTe 10 fTOSeiyte.
"TF THE coach knew he would get
a fair deal when he lost games
to opponents who had better ma
terial, and would not have to worry
about his job, most coaches would
not proselyte. and would not want to. "
AS to the part the coaches can play
in the development of foot ball,
ShaughnesSy said:
1T is up to us to see that the game
is kept human, for the development
of those virtues we deem manly,
physical strength, good minds and
courageous hearts; that it be kept a
recreation and relaxation for the
youth of the day-not an end in it
self but a means to the end of
healthful, happy living"
