Value of an Enthusiastic Scrub Team. With the development and perfecting of the greatest of American vporta |he e lias come Into footlutll a broaler rpirlt. A few years ago the only Incentive for practice was the hope of "making the eleven;" If not the 'varsity eleven, then the class eleven. All work was done with that end tn view. There was perhaps *-lx teen or twenty men. the regulars ind sub stitutes. who were regarded aa the no— guardians of th college prestige on the gridiron. AH the efforts were dlreci.d to their development; nobody else was con sidered. That Is all changed now. To day It Is universally recogtiixel In the small as well as the large- colleges th*t It Is the men who never ' make ihe team " that win the victories. The coach who can depend upon a wfrrng. enthusiastic, liard working "s-rub" learn anl. ba-k of the lines, the men who sit on the rid lines, and. for the love of the game or loyalty lo the college or a mixture of both, patiently welt for a char.ce to get Ino the praclce—lhal coach his a has s to work on better than weight or mu*cle. the true football spirit that wins ov r everyhtng else. Oik of he greatest football players and beat Judges of Ihe game whoever pul on canvas once said In reply to the query. What quality is the mo-t valuable on Ihe Held? “College loyalty." Another man. star player of one of he big colleges, who has since won laurels as a coa< h. was hired by a small Institution to tram and coarh Its team. "We haven't big men.” said the captain of Ihe team. "There are only 130 run In college to pick from, and we an- up against colleges three and four limes as big, but the fellows are football wild " "How many can vou turn out to daily practice?" asked the coach. "Quarter of the college," was the prompt answer. "If my big college had bean able to gel that percentage of Its men out." said Ihe expert, "there would never have been a score against us You live up to that, and we'll get the porar.t. all right." They did. and since that time the sturdy Ittlle college of Hamilton has teen hold log Its own against elevens recruited Dom many times Its own number of men. Th secret of It Is on the side lines, where, as a great poet has said ctf a very different subject, "They also serve who only stand and wait " Yale and Princeton long ago recognised this principle on the gridiron, llarvarj came to the re.ailxatton later ami * mut taneous.y to a better position in the ath letic world than she had before held Cor nell holds to li and Pennsylvania, and the l"diversity of Chicago, and Lafayette, anl In a high degree the sturdy army and navy players at West Point and Annapo lis; tn fact, every college that plays fine. c>un. dashfng football from little Bosv doin. far up In Maine, to big Leland Stan ford. on the Paclhc slope CletflnK the Football Instinct.
