EW YORK, October 28.—So important has psychology become in the game of foot ball that close students are beginnin, higher than any other element in the game. feels that 40 per cent is not a to rate it g Personallyhthe writer high estimate, A team can be splendid'y equipped manually, but unless the mental spark is glowing at a high degree of realizing its possibilitie heat the outfit will fall far short of It is this very thing that makes the forecasting of foot ball games so uncertain. One may know the material contained in two rival elevens, e brand of coaching they have received, the general methods of instruction and the relative progress the teams have made. But the menta! conditions cannot be weighed, analyzed or appraised. And so Saturday after Saturday upsets occur, high hopes are destroy- ed, kings are dethroned and common- ers sit in the seats of the mighty. In brief, foot ball does not run true to preliminary form with frequency suf- ficient to give pre-game dope any value of exactness. If the stock market were as diffi- cult to dope as foot ball, Wall Street would soon become an abandoned lane, and if advance calculations in horse racing were as inexact are in foot ball, Laurel and great tracks would long o been plowed and sown with seed. Mystery to Coaches. And the reason is psychology. Very often coaches can develop this quality and fan it into white-hot flame. But it is a mystery even to them. Bill Roper, a master psychologist, has admitted that he was surprised and amazed at the blazing mental mood of his men as registered on Yale feld last year, a mood which discounted physical comparisons of the two sets of players and thrust aside as negligi- ble all that had happened in the season up to that game. And if a coach is thus at loss, how is an outsider to speak with authority as to what teams of the same general classification may or may not do when they meet? But here lies after all one of the very great attractions of the college game, the thing that makes inter-collegiate foot ball waat it nd what it always will be so sts not v that | willingness to die for dear old Rut- gers, but to slay in her behalf. other have Working toward a place in the sun, there is no telling how far the Oregon Aggies will go thi On October 23 the Corvallis Farmers got by their first big game of the Pacific Coast Conference serles, beating California 27 to 7. It may well be that the great con- test of the Pacific Coast will fail on November 13, when Dutch Schissler’s men entertain the University of outh- ern California in the Multonomah sta- dium, at Portland. Throughout the Far West, when the writer was out there, were heard stories that foot ball players from | States far remote from Oregon had: come West to play foot ball at Corval- lis and there seemed to be a feeling about it which the writers recorded. Now the fact s that this agricultural school does draw widely, some 30 States and 7 forelgn countries being included in the student roster. | But the eleven would appear to be | home-bred. Of the first varsity, which | started the California game, nine men were products of Oregon high schools, and of the two others, Dixon comes from Yakima, Wast 160 miles away, and Dickers from Weiser, Idaho. who played against California, players were native Oregonia; So it would appear that it school players have come to Corvallis from points remote they have been be- low the standard of the home-breds, who after three years of arducus and unremitting toil have developed a foot ball team that already stands among the strong outfits of the country Sehissler, the coach, who migrated to Oregon from the Middle West, says that in the past three years probably X boys have entered Corvallis from the Middle West as a result of his per sonal acquaintance with them,and that of this number only two are on the varsity squad and they are on the sec- ond team. One of the great fullbacks of the country is Schulmerich of the Aggies He weighs over 200 pounds, is fast, elusive and hits the line with the power of a Nevers. In fact with Nevers and Wildcat Wilson out of the intercollegiate show, Schulmerich seems to be wearing both their man tles.
