W hat Showwmanship Means to Foot Ball Continued from Third Page College team of Kentucky, Bucknell University, Prankford Yellowjackets’ professional team and others. It was at Centre College where Uncle Charley won his greatest fame as & foot ball coach, because his team prayed before each important contest and became known as the “Praying Colonels.” g Regardless of whether the members of the team were really sincere in their spiritual dis- play, they received columns and colymns of publicity and drew thousands of people when they invaded the North. They attracted fur- ther notice by switching from the sublime to the ridiculous by imitating convicts with their lockstep into formation. So, when it comes to showmanship in foot ball, don’t forget that broad-shouldered vet who calls balls and strikes in the National League every Summer. He really produced a few tricks that deserve to be remembered. Chick Meehan of New York University is an- other showman in foot ball. He has specialized on the huddle shift, in which the players walk uniformly, but not in lockstep formation. Lou Young of the University of Pennsylvania, who has retired from active coaching into an executive position, created considerable com- ment when he inaugurated the hidden-ball at- tack at Penn and his backfield was known, not as the “Four horsemen,” but as the “Four Regardless of showmanship of the coach and color of the players, it is absolutely necéssary that the team win in order to retain its draw- ing power. Even Natre Dame, which has trave eled so many miles throughout the country and has met s0 many different major elevens, would cease to draw heavily if it lost five or six games in a row. “Showmanship is just part of it all,” says Stuhldrefer, “and the coach has to produce the victories or look for another job. I don’t mean he must win every game every year, because that is impossible, but he cannot have frequent losing streaks or the alumni yell for his head just as violently as base ball fans yell for the head of the major leaguer who is in a protract- ed hitting slump. Centre College was the talk of the land when it beat Harvard, but is not praminent now because victories don’t come 60 frequently.” I asked the Villanova coach to name the most colorful player he ever saw in action, and he gave first place to Red Grange because of his smooth, even strides, which won for him the appellation, “Galloping Ghost of the Gridiron.” Many things have been attributed to the war, and Stuhldreher gives that vast conflict credit for driving the people in hordes to the foot ball stadia of the country. “IN the old days an Ilinois old grad and a Chicago old grad would go out to the game together and see their favorites maul and pull each other over the fleld,” he said. “The old tandem formation was in its glory then and the pile-ups reached almost to the sky. “The war, in my opinion, brought to the pub- lic an appreciation of the spirit and leadership ability of American youth, 30 the Illinois old gard and the Chicago old grad took their wives and young sons and daughters along to the game. This doubled and then tripled the atten- dance because far-seeing coaches had changed the style of attack to the open formation and, above all, the forward pass. The wives and children liked that because it was spectacular and easy to follow and appealed to them more than the old mass style with the huge pile-ups. Society came out, and a prominent foot ball game is now the ‘place to be’ on Saturday aft- . ernoons. “There is something similar to the war, too, because the quarterback is trying to outguess the other team just as a field general tries to outguess the enemy. There are end runs or flank movements and drives through the cen- ter just like an infantry advance. And the aerial attack, so spectacular during the wasr, is a new and vital part of post-war foot ball. “Foot ball grew and grew until now crowds reach the amazing total of 100,000 for some of the big games of the year.” “What about the, future?” I asked the young coach. “Do you think the game will die away?™ “I do not,” he concluded emphatically. “Cole lege foot ball is here to stay. It is spectacular and colorful. It is played on Saturdays only and gives the tired business man and devoted alumnus a few hours of thrills. The season lasts only ten weeks, and Americans like things short and snappy, Americans also like show- manship, and there are plenty of coaches who are ready and willing to give them all the cir- cus stuff they want.” (Copyright, 1930.) Mine Dewvice to Save Life. E simple little device, in the opinion of the Bureau of Mines, would go far toward eliminating one of the most fruitful causes of mine fatalities—the falling of roof material in mines. As the cutting work goes forward in the mines, pillars of coal are left to support the roofs as the galleries are extended. The time is always reached, however, when it is desirous to remove the pillars for the coal they contain. When this is done the roof is shored up with timbers. When the pillar is removed it is advantageous, not only from the coal produc- tion point of view but also from the point of view of safety, to have the roof fall. This falling is accomplished by knocking out the wooden support. It is at this point that the fatalities frequently occur, for many a workman has been caught beneath the weight of the descending coal when the roof has fallen over an area so great that he has Been unable to scramble back to safety. ¢ The bureau is attempting to persuade mine owners to purchase devices which will pull the supports out from a safe distance by means of a chain. This device is aided by the a short piece of timber on top of support, making the drawing of the port less strenuous, .
