What happens on a football
day like last Saturday when
national leaders such as Michi-
gan State. Oregon State, Min
nesota and Arkansas are
bounced from the undefeated
ranks by teams they were sup
posed TO outscore without too
much trouble? And another,
Texas AIM, barely gets by. In
some cases. the surprises were
not even close games.

give you the correct answer.

most dificult jobs the coach
faces is that of influencing the
mental attitude of a squad
which has been acclaimed for
previous victories.
And yet I don't think it can
be said that these surprising
results come only from COM
placency. Present-day football,
both college and professional.
offers such great opportunities
in both offensive and defensive
tactics that anything can hap
pen on a given day when teams
at all close In potential strength
get together.
Mental Attitude Important
But there is great importance
in the matter of mental atti-
tude. The line between conf
Fdence and over-confidence is a
narrow one that neither player
nor coach can afford TO over
look. When a coach sees signs
Of confidence growing into COM
placency. he must convince his
men that they have to play all
out to win. The players are not
consciously over confident.
They work Just as hard as ever.
But the practices lack a grim
ness they should have-and 1t
is during the practice week. Of
course, not on Saturday. that
these "upsets" really are de-
cided.
Saturday comes. the favored
team gets unexpected pressure
from the hungry "underdog, {"
the execution Of plays is dis
turbed. and soon the men press.
Then there is q tumble or two
and the big surprise is in the
making. It's really no upset at
all. but a case of a team better

another team. That was true as

Ray Eliot for the day. outplayed

mess The peddlers of snake oil have made
many buck off the unsuspecting patient,
but of more importance, from their point Of
view, is the fact that they have been able to
keep the patient under their control by his
having become addicted to their medication.
The patient likes snake oil. 1t deadens the
pain from which he suffers but it does
nothing toward bringing about a cure. Hav-

medication to which he has become accus-
toned? That is the question and to it

out to the patient, but the final decision, SIS to
whether the patent wants to be cured, is up
to him. There are no laws to make person

be done for him. And there are inducements,
