| ball Coach at Appal;
The football field presents many
wonderful opportunities for a coach
to stllfiv hnmsm r?;?frnv?* .->?
turf shorn of all show and un trammeled
by convention. 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? .?!

and some who ai'A ays appear
0 he under restraint. The indifferent
and lazy hoys do not make good
tlhletes, for they raise barriers to
fine associations with then teamnates.
There is the carefree and conscientious
type. They make fine ath
etes, for they are gifted with a
sense of responsibility, a desire to
o-operate, to ex.ee! in every endav>r.
and have a love for competition.
Athletes who have competitive naurcs
are the ones who come through

jbstacles; they have a super sense

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

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. He will lead the
way .?n<1 the rest will follow with

Ancestry plays an important part
in the make-up of the character of
play in team; by Ibis 1 mean that
certain nationalities seem to have the
temperament to play the game for
all it is worth and have the competitWe
instincts so necessary for sue
cess. 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.

knew i had him and that some one
was in lor one grand afternoon of
physical torture. 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.
