Diary Of A Football Coach. . .
THERE ARE two prerequisites for membership in the Football Coaches
Association. First, you must have some knowledge of this business of
"agitating an inflated ball," as one old college president called it. Secondly,
you must be a pessimist.
The latter attribute is not so easy to attain as you may think. One mustj
have a flair for the drama and a very realistic outlook on life. One must be
a "poker face." Such near-empotional displays as lip twitching, eye wrinkling,
and teeth showing indicate an inadequate, knowledge of the ethics of the
profession.
A giggle is heresy. A laugh is just cause for disbarment. Only one
belly laugh has ever been recorded, that one emanating from dour Dr.
Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh, Pa. The doctor happened to remember
one day that he had a breather with Carnegie Tech on Saturday, and it
struck him so funny he became quite hysterical. His standing among his
colleagues has suffered because of this faux-pas. In the eyes-of some of
them he is a boor.
Now Fritz Crisler of Michigan, a member in good standing, has lived up
to the by-laws of the organization admirably this year. Crisler, by his own
admission, has felt happy exactly 17 hours since practice started. This brief
span of unholy revelry came between the close of the Michigan State game
and Sunday morning when Crisler met his scouts. Since then here's his
diary:
Oct. 3-8: Worried about Chicago's spread formations and weight
advantage.
Oct. 8-15: Worried that the 45 to 7 Michigan victory over the Maroons
might make his squad over-confident. Also Minnesota loomed ahead.
Oct. 15-22: Joined his entire squad feeling unhappy about Minnesota
loss. Worried about Yale-something his squad failed to do.
Oct. 22-Nov. 5: Worried before Illinois and Penn games because
his squad had been living off of their Minnesota clippings. Very angry
and vexed over Penn's two last minute scores. ,
' Nov. 5-10: Worried about Northwestern.

Crisler's reputation has been challenged by a Mr. Earl Martineau, how-
ever. Mr. Martineau coaches Michigan's backs. He reports:
"We've been doing this for six years now, and I'm the most pessimis-
tic of the bunch. I never commit myself. Our team looks bad to me
from early September until the end of November."'
I wonder if one of my profs ever coached a football team?

CLARENCE MUNN worries about Michigan's line. He is an inveterate pessi-
mist, but besides this, he is psychic.
In the Pennsylvania game, the Quakers were back on their own one yard
line in the second quarter. Frank Reagan dropped back in short punt forma-
tion.
"Watch Siegel block this kick," Munn whispered to manager Phil
Woodworth sitting beside him.
He did.
A few minutes later Penn was deer in their, own territory once more.
Again Reagan dropped back to kick. Again Munn turned to Woodworth:
"Watch Kromer return this for a touchdown," he muttered.
He did.
Later in .the game, swami Munn just missed his shot Michigan was on
the Penn 47, and Woodworth was scratching his scalp and the bristles
thereupon. Mused Munn:
"Kromer's about due for another touchdown run on this play."
He missed by six yards, strutting 41 yards before he was run out of
bounds on the Penn 6.
After practice last night I walked into the locker room with Mr. Munn.
I maintained a respectful silence.
"Well, we're the underdogs this week," he mused as we entered the
Field House door.
I almost slipped. I was about to ask him who would win this Staurday
when it suddenly struck me. Wouldn't the swami be silly letting the cat out
of the bag on Wednesday? I'll ask him at 5 p.m. Saturday if he had the
dope.
PICKUPS: Don't believe this chatter about the Big Ten sending football
representatives out to the Rose Bowl . . . It will be sidetracked at the
Dec. 2 meeting in Chicago despite its money-making guarantee . . . Recom-
mended light reading:- Leo Fischer's piece in Esquire about the men in the
press boxes . . . After being soundly thrasled by the sports staff last week,
the editorial employees have mustered enough courage to challenge the busi-
ness staff this Sunday.

RAND FASHIONED NY
-V
By virture of a smashing 12 to 01
victory over the Dough Boys, at South
Ferry Field yesterday afternoon, the
Senators captured the Division 1,
championship of ,the Independents'
touch football league, and thereby
earned the right to combat in the
touch football title playoff series to be
held next week.
The winners lost little time in scor-a
ing their first touchdown. On the
first play after the opening kickoff,
lineman "Bud" Londy of the Senators
:ecovered a Dough Boy fumble, and
on the next play, Barney Wahl went
'over for the initial tally.
Wahl also registered the second
touchdown of the encounter when he
caught Frank Jankowski's 25-yard
pass -in the end-zone in the last quar-
ter of the tilt.
With the Has Beens already having
copped the championship of Division
2, the last of the three league titles!
will be decided this afternoon when
the Forestry team plays the Wolver-
ines.
the victory, 7-2, in yesterday's lone
speedball match,
The first half, featured by largely
defensive play, found Psi. Upsilon out
in front by the score of 3-2 but from
then on the Phi Kaps were unable
to tally again. Their opponents,
though were not idle, for Harry Cal-
cutt put a drop kick over the bar for
two points and John Chapman and
Tom Watkins each pushed over a
point to put the game on ice. The
scores for the losers were made by
Art Bartholomew and Grey Nelson.
