Fighting Spirit in Football Better Than Winning
Py SOL METZGER.
(Coach XV. and J. Football Team.)
Leo Loary the old Harvard coach
whme Charlestown navy yard eleven
recently defeated the Seventy-Sixth
Uivision eleven from Camp iievena.
coached by Percy Haughton told me
not long ago that the big moment in
football was when the team yon were
couching was ahead when the last
whistle blew. Hut there is one thin
finer In football than victory and that
is its fighting spirit.
Fighting spirit Is bred In football
players it Is the soul of the gamu
end about the fighting spirit of foot-
ball teams there rallies college r.plrlt
whicli Is close kin' to patriotism. In-
deed were It not for the f'ghtin
spirit of college elevens there would
be little college spirit. Football fight-
ing spirit has taught the college man
to appreciate patriotism and loyalty.
It has enabled the college man to d'
his part In this war to no xmal! de-
gree jutt as the discipline and. spiri:
of college sport according to Secre-
tary liukcr gave the government Its
pl.lir for solving the recreation prob-
lem in our military a-nd naval camps.
There are two kinds of fightln
spirit In footbarl Individual and
team. We who have much to di
with the making of college teams
hold this fighting splrlj above sys-
tems of play end our knowledge of
the game. Without ".t a team Is
doomed to failure failure In good
old American grit and nerve. Tho it
may win the toam which shows th
fighting spirit gets all the praise.
This fall I hud the good fortune to
witness two good examples of foot-
ball fighting spirit. In the Pltts-burgh-I'er.nfylvanla
game tho latter
eleven gave a magnificent example of
fighting spirit against great odds. In
the ATtr.y-Notre. Dame content Oll-
phant the brilliant leader ef the
West Point eleven seemed to me to
be playing such splendid football that
alone he was almost an equal niatcn
FANS SURPRISED AT
- FALL OF WOLVERINES
Pennsylvania's Sweeping Vic-
tory' Over Michigan Sub-
ject 'for Controversy.
NEW YORK Nov. 18.--Several sur-
prising lapses In the supposed form
of prominent football teams viT.s' the
outstanding feature of the eastern col-
lege football games of the week end.
Pennsylvania swept Michigan from un-
defeated supremacy; Tufts upset Dart-
mouth and Fordham completely out-
played Cornell.
The downfall of Michigan will be-
the subject of discussion and contro-
n?rsy not much because the west-
erners wert5 defeated as the manner
In which the losers played and tha
surprising result of a game which was
expected to be one of thebest of the
football year.
Cornell was utterly unable to cope
with the- aerial attack of Fordham
backed by the general power and ver-
satility of the visitors' back field. Dart-
mouth showed the effects of the re-
cent hard games against formidable
opponents and was unable to hold
Tufts' aggressive combination in check.
Jloth the Army and Navy swept their
opponents before them until hugone-
slded scores had been rolled up. Villa
Nova succeeded In kicking a field goal
against the Middies but the Lebanon
valley team was unable to score
aainst the cadets.
Pittsburgh won from Carnegie Tech;
Georgia Tech annihilated the- Carlisle
Indians; Brown won from Colbyi Iji-
fayette piled up a large total of points
at Albright's expense; Williams com-
pleted the season without defeat win-
ning from Amherst 20 to 0; and in the
big preparatory school game of the
section Exeter defeated Andover S
to 0.
Bristow Defeats Carney.
SperUl to Th WolL.
Bristow-Okla Nov. 18. What was
considered the best football played
here this season was won by Bristow
high yesterday afternoon from Carney
by a score of 18 to 0. A seventy-five
yard run for a touchdown by Captain
Laux of the locals was one of the fea-
tures of the game.
Mobile Club Gets Leader.
MOBILE Ala. Nov. 18. Pat Fla-
herty scout for several years of the
Philadelphia American league club
was today named as manager of the
Mobile Southern Association baseball
club.

It) both these examples this fighting
Fpirlt was noteworthy because it wan
made against mbls.
1 n the Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh
game I'mn was not expected to have
any chance whatever. An overwhelm-
ing defeat at the hands of Georgia
Tech at the start of the year ti e fact
that the team was much the lighter
of the two Hnd the known lentigo
of I'ltt were th- reasons nsHUntd for
another crushing set-l ack.
Quakers show l ight.
Mut- tho little Quakers. f iled to
overflowing with what they call "Tho
Spirit of '16" In red nnd bliin toutbull
made up In savage determination an I
sheer cklr.ssnesa what they lacked
In almoht everything else. While
they .went down to defeat two touch-
downs to one there was not one pres-
ent including the clean playig and
sportsmanlike Pitt players vim did
not think It a defeat tinged with vic-
tory. At that the breaks of the game
favored Pitt. Its first score was a
most unfortunate execution of a lon
ft rward pass and Its second a
blocked kick while excellent fcotball
whs no finer hit of playing than the
little Quakers themselves showed
when they 'too blocked a punt. In
the first case the ball bounded back
close to Pcnn's goal where a Pitt
player gained It; In the second tho
ball fell dead behind tho line of
scrimmage. Everybody admired l'cnn
for that gajlunt fight.
The play of 'Ollie" Oliphant against
Notre Dame was nothing i-hort of
miraculous. Without In any sense
wishing to detract from the splendid
plnyjng of the we'1-baloneed team of
Notre Dame it 'Is my belief that on a
iry field Oliphant would hav-j come

Stlcbin's Version.
"In our Tufts game last fall yoal
will remember that Tufts had a series
of plays In which the center faced bis
backfield nnd tossed the ball to the
quarter. The plays wero extremely
dangerous when once under way. The
chances of their going wrmi'f were
small. Tufts had used them to good
advantage against both Harvard -and
Princeton.
"Our plan was to smash up this at-
tack before It got under way. To dr.
so we had tp nail the quarto-. in his
tracks before he could pass the ball
to another back. We accomplished
this by having Stutesman. our ooiiter
dive over the Tufts c -t as ho
ressed the ball and tack.u tho quar-
ter reoeiVing it
"We also knew that Tufts did not
sufficiently protect the players wfio
received forwatd. passes. Wo took
advantage of this by covering each cf
their eligible-men with two or three
of our players each time Tufts tried
tho pass. When Erehart csught a

Nebraska now looms up as one or

in pattern class.
Missouri nding the gnme with

OKLAHOMA CITV Nov. 18. The
federal vocational board has addec
more work on the state board and In
a litter received today by Secretary S.
M. Barrett of the state board. It U
explained what is wanted. Tho army
and navv departments are in need of
men trained in the trades and me-
chanics. It was previously suggested
that night schools should be opened
here for the training of men in othet

men could bo Instructed at th night
schools In the particular work de-
ured.
- Secretary Barrett la of the inlnlnn
that whl'e the night schools a'reaCy
pro doing oil possible a way will be
found for the additional service. It
is his Idea however that tho voca-
tional equipment at tho district agrl-
rulturlal schools and wbatcve.- other
schools that may have It. must be
relied upon.1 and that the teaching
force already there will havo to give
the instruction. There are federal

"Foot bull campaigns." continued
ftlehm. "must be as carefully plan-

Flanders. One must study the op-
ponent's strength and weakness and
the knowledgo gained thereby must
bo known not only to the coach but
th players as well. It Is a basic
I'lincipla of all competitive athletics
tiiat ono must know his opponent'
gme better or as well as on' own.
This Is especially true in fojtliiU.
'Hut above all" says Stlehm.
"'.here must be In the heart of every
in air on the team a desire to win a
desire to overcome obstacles Nlo fight
or. nnd on whitover tho odd.. Without-
this fighting spirit a football
team Is composed of puppets; wit It
a small and nut-weighed eleven Is
iflen able to overcome Its heavier
and apparently superior rival.
"You ak why Indiana was nb to

already ascribed I must add that
we lield a heavier nud most excel-

does not change soon.
