"I am not in favor of recruiting and the policies used in recruiting. No Recruiting "If they're football players, take 'em as they are. I had a policy of no recruiting. I felt it was my job to take 'em as they come." Sitting under a fig tree at his home here, the man known al- ways as Mr. Stagg by his players, reminisced on his introduction to football in 1884 at Yale. "I played football," he said, "be- cause of a buddy of mine from Orange (N. J.) High School. At Yale, freshmen made their own choices on which sport to go out f or, "On that particular day, a group of us started out to try rowing. We hadn't gone more than two blocks from campus when there was a change in mind of which sport to go out for. I had no opinion. I knew nothing of either sport."' A chance meeting with other freshmen sent them. to the foot- ball field. Stagg was on the way to greatness, and football's Hall of Fame. Football "Exciting" "I liked the roughness and ex- citement of practice and later the games," he explained. "Football was full of vitality and was very stimulating to me." ' Although he went to Yale to study for the ministry, Stagg went into coaching when the president at the University of Chicago, his former teacher of the Bible at Yale, offered him the job. At Chicago, his teams won seven Big Ten titles and five of the clubs had undefeated seasons. It was Stagg's team that also dethroned Fielding H.

He must be able to pro- duce the best that's in him morally and spiritually." No Swearing Stagg never swore, explaining, "The strongest word I used was jackass. Some claim I called them double, triple and sometimes quad- ruplebjackesses, but I don't re- member."
