BY PAUL MICKELSON. Associated Press Sports Writer. SOUTH BEND, Ind., January 15— | Psychology is the thing in foot ball, Take it from Frank Carideo, Notre | Dame% mightly little dynamo and field | general. And if that isn't enough authority ask the Southern California Trojans, the Tartans of Carnegie Tech, and a few other really great foot ball teams who fell victims of one of the shrewdest foot ball prycholnmlu the pigskin industry ever has known. “There’s no doubt but what we had a great team in 1929 and 1930,” the square-shouldered generalissimo of the Rockne raiders sald in backtracking those memorable gridiron campaigns. “Yet I ofien wonder how memy games we would have won and lost if Old Man Fsycholegy hadn’'t worked for us on an overtime basis through the insistence of that master psychologist, Knute Rockne. It pulled us out—on top—of battle after battle when sheer 1002 ball ability failed. Unexpected Play at Start. “Probably we were just too good for Southern California last Fall, but I give psychology the credit. We used it before the game, during the game and even when we had victory salted away. “Never in my foot ball career was I more confident than of beating the Trojans last Fall. And all the boys were of the same opinion. But when teles filtered into South Bend of South- ern California’s confidence of a one- sided victory, we decided that to win we must get in the right psychological touch at the right psychological second. So we, or I should say Coach Rockne, gave them the ‘build-up’ while we down in a hurry. “So at the start of the to & fighting pitch, got the ball and gave the Trojans the shock of their lives. We hammered with all our strength right at the start and amazed th:m by shoving them right back to their own goal. A few minutes later | they fumbled on their own 20-yard line and we realized the win-or-lose min- | ute had come. Pass Upset Trojans. - “Now a fumble always disorganizes a team for the instant and so I de- cided on a bold stroke. Instead of driving safely at the line, I called for a pass. The ball was snapped, the Trojans, lined up in that zone of greatest intensity, watched for a line smash or an end run, but Marchy Schwartz dropped back and fiipped an easy pass to me for a touchdown. The blow stunned Southern California and it was beaten. “We. beat Carnegie Tech about the same way. We did the unexpected at the unexpected time. That's the way they beat us in 1928, knocking us groggy with a pass on the first play f | deep in their own territory. “My advice to a quarterback is to watch the faces of your opponents. ‘Watch their reaction to your plays and then cross 'em up with the same plays through a different spot. Set plays don’t always go.” Name Change Beneficial. Carideo learned the ‘lesson of psy- logy in & manner when he was only 11 years old, when he changed his given name of Prancis to “Prank.” “There was & girl in the same class by the name of Frances, and I decided then and there I couldn’t be a ‘he man’ and. make good in foot ball with such a name,” he chuckled, “so I changed it to Frank. The boys liked it and they let me play foot ball with them. I suppose if I'd kept the handle of Francis I never would have had nerve enough to try the game.” (Tomorrow Carideo tells of his early training in the game, how he became & quarterback and how it feels to run & championship team.) .
