Grid Psychology
Different Kind Used by Dorais When Titans Were
Behind at Georgetown Here in 1923
BY HAROLD KAHL

Renewal of relations between
University of Detroit and George
town University at the stadium
here next Saturday night after a
lapse Of 10 years. recalls one of
the classic stories on football
psychology.
1t happened in the 1923 game
between the TitanS and HoyaS.
Detroit had won Il consecutive
contests and needed only this one
TO wind up its season unbeaten and
united. On pregame dope. L. of
ID. figured 10 win with plenty 10
spare. but the fact the team was
pressing To- keep its record in
tact had the coaches worried.
Tommy Connell, Detroit cap
tain. took the opening kickoff on
that bitter cold day and ran it
back for a touchdown. Then, just
as suddenly, the Titans went into
reverse. They couldn't do any
thing right and blythe time the
half had ended. Georgetown had
pushed them all over the field to
assume 1877 lead.
TURN THE TABLES
A continuation of the rout in
the second half seemed inevitable.
But 10 the amazement- of every
one, especially Georgetown, the
Titans played as if inspired and
ran up 26 points during the next
two periods TO win, 1918, and
finished unbeaten.
II was the general impression
a fight talk" by coach Gus Do
rails between halves brought the
reversal of form. According 10 a
story circulated at the time. Gus
took the hide off his players, in
dividually and collectively, with
the greatest display of invective
in coaching history.
The plain truth is that Gus was
too smart 10 bcrate his boys. He
knew they already were too tense
and the more he abused them the
more tense they would become
So he just called psychology 10 his
aid. Until five minutes before time
to go back on the field, Dorals
said nothing. Then he called the
boys together and they braced
themselves for a panning they
were expecting.
IT'S ALL A GAME
Boys" he said in his quiet
way, football is a game, not a
life and death matter. It's pur-

Big Gain in Investing
Reported BY Building
And Loan Associations
Lost Summers Total
Put at $lA. .46s. 900;
Withdrawals Decrease

The savings, building and loan
associations Of the Nation siphoned
OF STAG, ,46S. 900 from the mounting
inflationary tide Of the national
economy last summer, showing net
gain of approximately this amount
In their savers and investors capital
between June and the end OF August.
This was reported today by Nor
ton Bodfish, executive vice president
of the United States Savings and
Loan League, who said this net gain
in money in the thrift and home
financing institutions was half again
as large as in the summer Of 194l.
when the previous post-depression
record In net new money was
achieved.
Two factors entered into the
marked increase, he said. New
money flowed in at . rate Of 10 per
cent faster than last summer, re-
tiecting the mounting payrolls due
to war production and increased
employment, and the results Of in
tensified anti-inflation advertising
campaigns by these associations.
On the other hapd, Withdrawals
Of accumulated savings, building and
loan funds were Oh S per cent from
their volume the previous summer.
another reflection of the fact that
more current earnings are available
now for emergencies and living costs
for the average citizen.
THE purchase Of more than $780,
000, 900 in Government bonds by the
savings and loan institutions since
July shows where much OF this
increased investment on the part
Of the savers and investors has been
put to work by the associations"
said Mr.. Bodfsh.
This increased investment In saw
ings and loan has helped slow down
the infiationary tendencies In our
national economy by the savers not
having spent 1t for consumer goods.
It also has contributed to holding
down the general price level by pro-
viding additional savers capital from
which q part of the war could be
financed so that this much more of
the cost of victory did not have to
be financed out of commercial bank
loans with the seeds Of imitation
inherent In them," he stated.
