Show --X-tt-X- Some Coaches Insist ' on Taking Big Games "Why is it," a coach asked the other day, "that certain foot- ball coaches insist on taking all the big games they can possibly load onto a schedule when they think they are going to have a strong eleven? j; "Games, of course, are sched- H uled during and immediately aft- er a football season. The time for these games is at least ten jj months away. When they are being scheduled the coach may feel fairly sure of having a great team the next year, but do they J ever sit down and figure out all that can happen in ten months to a football team? They never consider examinations that may lose players for them, accidents, illness and financial reverses that may keep certain men from returning to school the following autumn. Most men do not real- Ize all that can happen to a football squad and among those jj; men are some of the coaches." jj He |
