The gain? demands strength of mind and body, courage to face issues, an overpowering desire to excel, and n certain thickness of the epidermis to stand the gaff, the grief and the drudgery of game preparation. Football is a t ac developer of hie physical man ; safety valve for the natural - ran t i" youth. The football field is the" melting pot for the devoloprn-vnt character: fJie. iahoraotrj for the testing of physical, ir.enta! id moral courage; the erueibl in which willpower, self sacrifice and confidence are fused to the proper tempi r to make a man, a whole man and a willing man. A boy's confidence in his own ability is tested in the daily workouts, in the scrimmages, in the games, in the associations with his fellows, in the teachings propounded by the coaches. and by the habits and ideals fostered in the building of the team itnd xhe squad morals. The squad is the unit; the team Lhe driving force, likened to an anvil. upon which the temperaments of the boys arc pounded to make the finished product, namely, a boy with haractcr. confidence and the proper ?ut!ook on life. Football is a field for the creation of life's prosper lives: tor those who play the- game. A football coach is confronted by many different types. Boys from different environments, with different deals and temperaments, with varied menial outlooks, with varying jxperienees. and with varving amres? .?! r. and have a love for competition. Athletes who have competitive naurcs are the ones who come through \ik1 produce when called on to meet jbstacles; they have a super sense hat drives on to the end. Obstacles r football are stepping stones to ;ictory; obstacles in life are stepping ;tones to success. Environment has a lot to do with Tiakimr ;t football player. If a boy s brought up with a sense of responsibility, with the necessity of mectng his obligations, and gifted with 1 keen sense of values and has the Ability to stand the gaff in competing with his fellows will make a fine football player, a credit to his Loam, his coach and his college. Football lakes perseverance and perspiration; chore is no roo'ni foi the indifferent, he chronic crab, the idler, and the egotistical. A background of hard ?vork and a competitive atmosphere makes a fine setting for a football player. Happy is the coach if he has a boy on his squad who is a natural leader, who 's willing I u take tic initiative in constructive movements And has the background to shoulder responsibilities. The leader thrives on work and "is enthusiastic to conquer new fields.

If 1 had my choice I would prefer to have a team in which the personnel was composed of representatives of different nationalities, for there would tend to be a fine bai ahee in the various temperaments of the team unit, some to strengthen, seme to steady and some to fire to the victory pitch. In my experience, I have found the English great for determination and bulldog efforts; the Irish for rising to the occasion and for emotional pitch; the (Germans to hold the ground ^attained; the* rrreat in viet.orv and persistency; the Italians for fireworks ami constancy; the Swedes stolid in defeat and victory and not easitv aroused to a fighting peak; and the Slavic races *.< stand the gaff and the grief. Speaking of the Swedes reminds niii of one i had the good fortune to coach number of years ago. Anderson was a giant, weighing about two hundred, a fine blocker, fast ar.r very aggressive when playing against a man of about his own size and weight. lie told me once that he did not like to play against a small man; "they give me a lot of trouble/' He played some wonderful games for me at tackle, but 1 always had great difficulty in touching his fightinginstincts. Our big game was near at hand, and I was very desirous of eret tinjr it in the victory column. Foui days before the game, I made an ap peal to his manhood, telling him that he was' so hig and strong that Ik could tear up any man of the oppo sition if only he would forget about his physical self and drive to ih# limit of his powers. I worked on hii dormant emotions, pleaded with him rode him. and with tears in my eye: exhorted him to give me every las ounce of real manhood that he co'.ih muster to our cause. Nothing seemec to shake hiin 01 arouse his fighting blood. Finally in desperation, turned him around, grabbed his jer sey and toie it off his back. Oallinj tho manager. I requested that. 1 ? give me a white sweat shirt and mad< him put it on. "You wear that 11 every game you play for me.'* He sa down. The squad passed out onto lh< field. Swede passed me by looxin? i down to the ground, but I saw co oiOus volumes of brine coursinj 1 down his ruddy Nordic cheeks. 3r&fi'-t$j&sfflr eMwtSSsBS v:/4 Kiyifcjf ^ ^JkswvS^?^!c&Wi THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?E 11 Lore | - ....v. .

Anderson played a i whale of a game and was instrumeri- i tal in bringing us the olive garlands j by his superhuman and spirited play. j The next game I noticed that he was again in the briney. 1 played him, but was forced to take him out for he did not hold up his end of the defensive We were playing our last game, and 1 called out the team and left Swede out of the Line-up. The team took the field. Suddenly I | heard a Robbing voice to my left. It was Swede. ,4( o:\."h. Coach, piav i me. Can't you see J am in tears. ' | "Yea. Swede: idle, tears." 1 replied. ! i "They mean not what they say. Sit j | iwn and dry up.'1 I do not believe in Working up the j hoys ?oo much before a game. I'd I | rather have my men go into the [game clear headed and with the idea j that they are going: out to play t.he i game for all it is worth than to go } in there under great emotional sv.re.ss. There is less chance of a let down. However, it pays to get the Ivnys in a fighting mood: that is. just tho right pitch that will carry through ?ut ; the game. Speaking of working the boys ui ! to a fighting pitch reminds me of an incident that occurred in one of the big games of our schedule. I wanted especially to win this game and had Utkc-n great pains ail week to gel the setting right for my last 11 talk to the hoys before the game. 1 I had a big literal-minded Eastern hiu? | blood on my squad that year, a lad | who could play a good game, but had i never displayed, a great deal of '/.est 1 to go in 'and hail then-* and spread | general havoc with the opposition, j i used to ride him quite a hit tor | he needed it to round out hi-.- general j outlook on life. He took everything | to heart and was very literal in all | his interpretations of everything with i the exception of certain football ax- | ioms. Tie was particularly keen to make his letter that year so that he j could go hac k to his ancestral do- j main, near the shores of Narraganset Bay, to display to the family his badge of accomplishment. 1 was har- j an giving the squad, exhortinp. storming. with tensed features and contortions, in the most eloquent of the King's English, demanding light., more fight, and the never-say-die fervor in order to get the boys in the ifropev frame of mind for the SUvyUntcii In low tones, I admonished that no quarter, no mercy should he shown to the opposition, and, with a final burst of heated, melodramatic exhortations, emphasized with vitriolic expletives, I stressed hard, clean, slashing play, an eye for an eye and j a tooth for a tooth. The hoys were, fired with volcanic emotions and? ready tc- give battle to the opponents | with the exception of my fine lad; from the confines of the Karraganset's shores. He stood in a daze v hen 1 called out his name to pet in the game. 1 was enraged. Curious at-his nonresponse in my emotional vovhage. The boys literally stormed onto tin: field;- aii save. MeGorty. Looking mc in the eye. he said. "It's all right Coacli; I'll play it your way." What a game he played! Ho was in e\er> play ; his rangy form was all ovc the field. In the line, he and his opp inept had a fare^yoit-well that boidertd on the sanguinary. At the end of the half >ve had four touchdowns to our credit, and the game wax on the ice Walking off the field, 1 was aware of a shadowy form tc my rear. Look-j ing over my shoulder I saw McGorty.j "Coach, I played it your way," hej said. He was shaking his right hand,! gory and tern, and a clicking noise j eminated akin to the sound of hone' on bene. "You said an eye for an j eye and a tooth for a tooth. Well.) here VOU are! I had a hard tmu? do-1 |:ifl? it, hut here you are!*' He hand-! t b.d nie a glass eye am! a large front j j tooth. "His eye and my tooth,"' he; concluded. Never to this day have I forgotten that afternoon and McGorty, the big;, literal-minced blue blood - from the eastern shores of Narraganset.
