Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH I WERE talking about the WE football coaches of the present year, Frank Leahy, Fritz Crisler and Lou Little were In the lead. There were votes for George Munger of Pennsyl-vania, Matty Bell of S.M.U., Blair Cherry of Texas, Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech and Bob Higgins of Penn State. Also Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin, Pop Waldorf of Califor nia and Red Sand- - p0p Warner ers of Vanderbilt came In for pleasant mention. From this point the conversation began to veer back to the great coaches of the past Pop Warner, Knute Rockne, Hurry-u- p Yost, Bob Zuppke, Howard Jones, Jimmy Phe-la- Bill Alexander, Don McGuain, Bob Neyland, Frank Thomas, Wal-lace Wade, Bill Roper, Lonnie Stagg the long list began to grow and grow. Finally a gray-haire- d Kansan butted in. His name was Jesse Har-per Rockne's coach at Notre Dame back in 1913 the team that wrecked Army in that year of toot- - ball history. "You've overlooked one of the greatest," Harper said. "On a par, at least, with Rockne, Warner and Yost." This was a pretty fair build- - UP. "I'll tell you his name," Harper said. "Percy Haughton of Harvard. Haughton must be ranked around the top. Here was a great coach-- not merely a good one. He was cold-er than an iceberg, harder than granite. But he was brilliant natural leader. "He was to football what Gen. George Patton was to our armies. He was on his own. He had no respect for what 120 million Ameri-cans thought of him, because he inew 95 per cent of them were wrong as far as his job was concerned. He Perfected Plays "No one ever invents anything," Harper said. "Twenty coaches claim they used the forward pass first. Ten coaches claim they used the huddle first. The was used as far back as 1908. But it was Haughton who really perfect- - ed the hidden-bal- l attack, and it was Haughton who really perfected the mousetrap play more than 30 years ago. Haughton never had the amaz-- I ing personality of Rockne. But he knew more football than anyone else except Pop Warner. He gave the game more. He worked day and night. j "He hated football writers, so they hated him. He hated practically ev-erybody except his own Harvard team. He could hate them too. He was ruthless. But don't let anyone tell you that Haughton wasn't one of the greatest coaches of all time. I couldn't place a coach above him. ' Then I began to remember a few things about Haughton back around 1915 in his contest with Yale. I happened to mention the fact that Yale had a big, fast, hard-chargin- g line. "I only wish they were twice as fast," Haughton said. "We'll let 'em through and then cut 'em down." That was the way it happened. That was the start of mouse-trapping- . "If Haughton told us to jump off a cliff 80 feet high, and he'd catch u we'd jump." Tack Hardwick told me nnpi "AnH h ...1,1 v-- "hi uai i j a that If be told us that and we jumped he'd catch us." Haughton was brutal in his treat-ment of many of his men. Ask Sam Felton, a great Harvard star who had to take unbelievable abuse. Haughton timed his practice by the clock. Five minutes for this 20 minutes for that 15 minutes for something else. He knew exact-ly what his team needed. Not a minute was ever wasted. Even in practice no Harvard player ever walked on the field. He had to run "Football is all action," Haughton said. "You don't walk in any game." Got Writers Barred Haughton felt that it was in his power to insult or override anyone who barred his way including a Lawrence Lowell, then president of Harvard. 'I think we are overplaying foot-- j ball at Harvard," President Lowell told him once. "I agree with you," Haughton said. "Too much public!-ty- . Let's bar all football writers from the field." Lowell said O. K. It was what exactly Haughton wanted and so did most of the other coaches. Only Haughton got away with it. Football writers today spill noth- - ing. It was different 30 years ago especially when a flock of Boston's football writers were Dartmouth men. Haughton was the one who sup- - plied rough, yellow gloves for his Harvard team against "Speedy-Rush- 's Princeton squad. Next day the faces of Princeton players were a sight. Tad Jones refused to let the Yale game start until these gloves were removed. Haughton had one basic idea win the game. For four glorious years in a row he wrecked four good Yale teams two by scores of M to 0 and 41 to 0. A butcher was in the habit of sending his son with a small car to deliver orders. The lad was a careless driver, and one day he knocked down an old lady. A lawsuit followed, and the butcher had to pay damages. Shortly after this the son was the cause of another accident, which had a similar unfortunate result, and the drain on the butcher's re-sources brought him to the verge )f ruin. A few days after the second case had been settled, he was thinking over his hard fate when a neighbor rushed in with the information that the butcher's wife had been run over by the careless driver of a motorcar, and was in a hospital. "Thank goodness," exclaimed the butcher, "my luck's changed at last!"
