Southwest Is Looking for Big Grid Year
Heroic Football Background,
Student Attoinnents Mark
New WI. High Mentor
BY GEORGE HUBER.

One of the most spectacular eras
in George Washington's football his
tory is recalled by the appointment
of Harry Deming, mammoth Co.
lonial tackle of six and seven years
ago. as head football coach and track
tutor at Washington-Lee High
School to succeed Johnny Baker,
another G. w. product who this year
returns to his alma mater as as
sistant to Mentor Bill Reinhart.
In 1884 and 1885 when Deming
played on the same team with Tuffy
Leemans, George Washington was at
the height of its bid for national
prominence in football. Coach Jim
Pixlee had only a handful of top
notch players for tough schedule
and Deming was the iron man OF
the outfit. A big tackle and a good
one-his playing weight was 235-
Deming played every minute except
two of every game on the list.
Numerous injuries failed to keep him
from the field and he was trussed
in some of Pixlee's most ingenious
creations of leather and metal
harness to protect him.
Played While Bunged Up.
In 1885, when he captained the
Colonials, he played with three
broken ribs, broken nose and a
trick knee. Despite that he was a
potent performer. Pulling out of the
line to kick field goals, his 3-pointers
beat West Virginia, 10-7, and Okla
homa, 80 He also got one In the
Tulsa game when G. w. won, 100.
In 1885 he beat Tulsa, 80.
Deming, in addition to being an
outstanding athlete, was brilliant
scholar and had some idea, and In
fact still has, of teaching career.
He majored in zoology and still keeps
up with that subject with the in
tention of becoming a professor. So
far, however, his coaching ability
and love of sport has kept him In
football.
In his graduating class OF 1896
he was one of the eight members
of the G.. w. hall of fame, selected
by a faculty committee as out
standing in activities, scholarship
and general worthiness of recogni-
ton" He received the Delta Tau
Delta Activity Medal that year and
was president of the Varsity Club
Council.
Deming steps into no soft spot as
successor to Baker, who for the last
several years has turned out some
of the best schoolboy football and
track teams in this section. In
1899 the Generals went through a
1O-game schedule undefeated and
united.
Kavalier Will Aid Him.
Since leaving G. w. Deming
played pro football for two years
at Paterson, N. j., and for the last
four years has been athletic in
structor at Thomas Jefferson Junior
High in Arlington. In addition, he
has been assistant coach to Baker
at Washington-Lee, so there will be

on q peninsula with the bay on one

The
SPoRTLIGHT
Three Sport Factors
Often Overlooked
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
ApAriel rorrespOp6ent Of The Star

There are three major factors in
competitive sport-apart from such
superior physical assets as speed
and power.
AS some sporting philosopher once
remarked, The race may not be
to the swift-nor the battle to the
strong-but that is where to look" "
Usually-but not always. For the
three major factors referred to play
a big part in naming the winner,
no matter what the sport.
These three leading elements are
form, technique and tactics. They
are the big winners, where so many
are so we'll matched on the physical
side. They write most of the head
lines.
And they are the least understood
by the vast majority of those who
play various games
Just what is form-What is tech
nique and what are tactics? I put
the matter up to P. Hal Sims, bridge
player and golfer, who has put in
much careful thought along these
lines through 40 years of competitive
effort,

of no freshman coach. Immediately
set out to track down the ghost and
hire it, but he can't find Mike or

be available to assist with the fresh

handy person to have around. He

Tough Job to Fill.
The freshman football coaching
problem might be solved if Surgent
is found, but when Lombardo ex-
changed his ring post for a second
lieutenant's bar he left the Terps
up a tree. Stew McCaw was sug-
gested for the place, but the Army
reached out and grabbed him long
ago, and other acceptable coaches
are few and far between. The sad
dest part of the story is that with
a green team last year Michael
managed to win thre and tie one
of seven matches and has almost
the entire group back again this
year.
Headley will be back in the spring
to resume control of the trackmen
He may even be able to work them

not helping the ring brigade. They're

soon and he hopes to have some

Thinks Conn Lost Becouse
Of TocticoI Mistoke

Many will tell you Conn became
fat-footed through the body pun
tshment he had taken in earlier
rounds. I don't agree with this for
the simple reason in the 18th round
Conn was at his best, swarming all
over Louis. 1t was this round that
made him so badly over confident
that he forgot all about technique
and tactics. He overlooked Old
Man Mathematics or Old Man Per-
centage completely. You couldn't
blame him too much for this. 1t
was the first time he ever had been
within two or three rounds of a
heavyweight championship. He
lacked at this point the GOODNESS
and the experience needed to carry
along winning plan, which he
actually had.
Suppose in the 18th round Conn,
with good lead already won, had
kept jabbing, stabbing but always
moving? He had shown he was a
better and faster boxer than Louis.
Why throw aside proved advantage
and play the other fellows game?
That was bad technique-excusable,
but still extremely costly. There
are those who say that Louis would
have caught him anyway. Perhaps.
But against much greater odds.
Louis was almost sure to beat
Conn in a toe-to-toe slugging match.
The odds at slugging were 4 to l
on Louis. The odds at longer range
boxing we're 3 to l on Conn. See
what difference this makes? Things
like this happen in sport every
day-in every game. Better form
can't win alone. 1t must have help
from technique and tactics"

Chances Of Error Shrink
With Use of Technique

Form" says Mr.. Sims, really is
style-the correct physical way of
doing a thing. 1t is the popular
current style, which often changes
as new champions come along with
different ways of playing games.
Technique is the best mathe-
matical execution of form. should
say that technique is eliminating
as much as you can the margin of
error. 1t demands that you give
more consideration to the per-
centage side.
Tactics is the handling or di-
rection of form and technique
together. 1t is planning out the
right type of play.
Many times the failure to observe
technique puts on added pressure.
All the mistakes you make increase
pressure. In bridge, for example,
the first mistake you make in sbid-
ding or playing the hand will in
crease the pressure enormously. The
same is true in golf, which opens
with the tee shot. If you miss this
stroke you wade right out in the
middle of increasing pressure.

Pronounces Hagen Master
Of Technique and Toctics

IT always have thought" p. Hal
continued, that Walter Hagen was
always master of technique and
tactics. Hagen's angle is this-a
golfer plants his tee shot into the
rough, partially stymied by a tree.
IN place of accepting the penalty
he has incurred by a bad shot, he
tries to save himself by some miracle
attempt The odds against this at
tempt may be 10 or Is to l. If he
would play out safely and then
gamble on one pitch and one putt,
the odds would be much less. And
the penalty much lighter.
How manay average golfers will
you see trying to play wooden club
from the rough? You'll see it often.
They merely move from one trouble
to deeper trouble, as a rule. BY
using the right technique they still
might get 4 on the hole or almost
surely 5. But overlooking the per-
centage matter completely, they
wind up with or 7. Most golfers
could take away or 10 strokes from
their average rounds by using better
technique.
When Billy Conn met Joe Louis,
Conn's boxing form was brilliant.
His foot action and his hand &C
ton was all that any one could
ask. He made you think of style
just as Jim Corbett once did.
But Conn's technique in the 18th
round suddenly blew up. He had
taken the lead because he kept
moving around, giving Louis shift
Ing target. But in the 18th round
he suddenly turned f1at-footed and
began exchanging punches with a
much better puncher.
