The old saying often heard
among the turf horsemen that
race horses come in all shapes
and sizes" certainly applies to
jumping horses. too, for in these
groups they range in conforma-
ton to comply completely with
that description.
The Chilean horses are par
ticularly unusual. judging from
the larger coarse-bred Army horse.
They are all very small, which
again thwarts the theory that
small horses are inferior to large
ones, for the Chileans have
jumped themselves into a great
reputation. Not only are the
horses smaller in stature but OF
very slight build.
One striking comparison be-
tween these horses and the other
teams is that due to the climatic
conditions the Chilean horses have
almost completely shed their win

Coach Should Stay
On Bench---Layden
BY ELMER LAYDEN

Football Coach, NOtre Dame University
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 10.
DopeSter Dan, the grandstand
coach in our parts, read in the
papers that Tex oliver. formerly
of Arizona and now of Oregon,
coaches his team from the press
box.
"At last" said the Dopester.
"A coach who admits that us
fellows up in the stand can see
more than he can down on the
bench!"
There's nothing novel about
the theory that altitude lends
perspective.
For many years football
coaches have had assistants and
ex-players scouting prospective
opponents. Equipped with high
powered glasses which enable
them to penetrate close line
play, these scouts sit far from
the field. wherever they can
get the best perspective, very
often the press coop.
It's true that the bench is the
worst pace from which to see a
football game. ] realize the
