that I have chosen chimney

This farewell document of mine

a list of the country's football

what l consider their ability to
coach football. Such a ranking
never has been made, either be-

SUCH A LIST NEEDED
There is no denying the need
of such list, however. 1t would

looked factor when the selection
of winners Is being considered,
really is the most important sin
gle item.
How often do you hear foot
ball fans mention the coaches
In discussions of Saturdays
winners: Rarely, II ever. They
null over the material of the
two teams, the FOLLOWERS from
last year, the records Of the
year before, the weather, the
home grounds, the condition Of
the two teams, and even the
mental attitude Of the oppos-
ing forces.
But the abilities OF the rival
coaches are nearly always over
looked. This is ridiculous when
you stop to think of it, because
while coaching may not be all
Of football, it plays a whacking
big part. And the difference be-
tween coaches is like that be-
tween night and day. There are
great ones, good ones, fair ones
and punk ones, just as there are
varying grades of cotton, sing
ers, dentists and-yes-chimney
sweeps.
COACHES DIFFER
There are coaches who are
great on offense but who could
not mould a defense If allowed
to use cement and a trowel.
There are others who can make
scoring on them tough but
who couldn't create an offense
even with the help of friendly
referees. Some coaches have
been at the job twenty years
without contributing a single
new idea to the game. Some
and these are the good and great
ones - make changes in their
systems every year to make
them fit their material.

BengaIs
Red Raiders

With all hands in tip-top con-
dition, except Star Quarterback
Wes Hudson, Coach Johnny Helm
rick will take his Stadium grid
squad to Bellingham tomorrow for
an Armistice Day clash with the
Red Raiders, beginning at 2:30.
The Tigers, underdogs In
this tilt, have not been beaten
by the Raiders since Cross
State league play opened three
years ago. Stadium won, 12
TO 6, In 1897, and Il TO 9 last
year.
Thus far Bellingham has won
three games. lost one and tied two,
including a Go deadlock with
Yakima team which romped
over Stadium, Is to 6.
The tilt likely will have bearing
on second place in the standings.
A victory for Stadium will cinch
second place in the final standings,
provided the Tigers also manage TO
defeat Lincoln here Thanksgiving
Day.
Hudson, of course, Is def
nitely out Of play, but Al
Browne, who has been on the
sidelines for several weeks
with dislocated shoulder, Is
expected TO see action In the
backfield.
Jerry Williamson, end, or Leigh
Moody, sub halfback, will take
over Hudsons punting duty.

stretch of the fall campaign,
But there wasn't much roar

U. S. c. drew an easy touch
In a Stanford team which has yet
to win game in 1899.
Santa Clara, which started
slowly and then burst into full
power with wins over st. Mary's,
Purdue and Stanford, stacks up
against Charley Bachman's Michi-
gan State eleven in San Fran

California, beaten four times,
and Washington, which lost its
first four, renew their even-steven
rivalry in Berkeley with the out

won IL times in past meetings.
st. Mary's found itself in
the unusual role of even money
bet against little University
of San Francisco.
Up in Oregon the annual battle
between Oregon State and Uni
versity of Oregon at Eugene is the
big thing of the day. A week ago
Oregon State would have been a
tremendous favorite to score their
fourth straight over the Ducks.
But Saturday U. s. c. dumped the
Staters and Oregon flashed a $50
win, biggest conference score of
the year, against a Washington
State team that troubled their
rivals.

they learn there is no such person

She recalled one such disillusioned

First father and mother told me
there was a Santa Claus and I

me there is God. I don't know

Youngsters of II and II, and their

the movies they see, she asserted.

life should be like that"
Some of the family" pictures are
better in this regard, she said, but
even they do not give father break.
"They portray the father as
comedian. He is always the goat
and is always making mistakes. And
