And to de 80 Is no easy task. But Harvard has done it, and has done it out of poorer material, on the whele, than we have had at Yale, f Why Princeton Won, “In three years on the university team our players have learned about four different sets of plays. This is the natural result of not winning, but the plays themselveg arc not the main factor. Princeton this year, without anything that even resembled an at- tack, was able to win. But they set- tled on their attack early in the sea- son, stuck to it, and spent the time perfecting the many other details of the game. It is the combination of everything that wins games. We have built up our line attack so that it gains ground and our pass|ng game has been improved, but we lose: be- cause some of the other factors have not yet reached that high develop- ment found in other teams. The Harvard Style. “Harvard, with her plays, her method of procedure even, settled almost definitely at the first of the year, quickly selects those men, not who are playing the best, then, but who with. coaching will play the best by the end of the season. ‘This is something we did years ago and per- haps have forgotten. At once they start to develop capable substitutes for the first string men. Also the fivst string men %re not used in try- ing out new plays. It is generally in this form of experiment that men are hurt, for untried plays jam up and allow line men to fall on and tackle backfield men from behind when the backs are not expecting a tackle and do not prepare their bodies to receive a blow, . “The team selected, each man is taught hig relation to and dependence on the next man to him and those who are backing him up. Team play is stressed and much of the team is spent developing the team as a whole ingtead of the units of that team. Not much has to be done on the uni- vergity team about teaching a man plays.

NEBRASKA WINS TITLE Cornhuskers Clearly Ilarned Right to Championship Honor in the Mis- souri Valley Confercnce. Kansas City, Dee. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are nof only the undis- puted champions of the Missouri Val- ley conference but are considered one of the strongest elevens in the middle west, and their victery frem Notre Dame Thuraday added mueh to their glory. i Nebraska played five games in the conference, winning all hy wide mar- gins.

That word strategy is much abused in many places, but in Harvard it really means something and stands for something tangible. It means that Harvard men are taught to size up and analyze a situation as it de- velops on theé field and to meet the sitnation, Yale players always know | after a game what they should have done; the Harvard players know on the field. “And to reach this point minds must be left free of the detail of the! mechanics of plays. The duyties of a man at Harvard on a play are second nature. So often are plays gone through, so often are correct actions insisted upon, and in so many dif- ferent ways, that the mind drives the bodies of the Harvard players auto- matically. “The gubconselous mind directs the body, the conscious mind is left free to study the development of play.
