He then breaks one over that Schulto misses' a foot for the third strike. But the game wasn't quite over. Tho ball strikes Schmidt's glove, caroms oft to tho grand stand and two Cubs score, tlelng up the contest. The Tiger Pitcher had a pretty right to show a streak of temper. But what he did was to look at Schmidt and tell him to keep his head up and keep on fighting. And when he said it he smiled. And he kept on smiling as he retired the aide and fought on to a 12-lnnlng draw. Tho pitcher's name, L. It. H., was Wild BUI Donovan, Wasn't that a fair enough test In which to Judge tho sincerity and quality of a smile? Or does he have to have his head shot off first? You might say that tho occasion was no time to smllo. On the contrary. If Dono van had broken or gone Into tho air or lost his temper Schmidt and the rest of mo ciuo wouici nave likely caved In.

Football is now a matter of skill at handling and passing the ball, as much as it la a matter of anything else. And this skill can only be developed by hard practjee, which will require far moro tlmo than any coach can find from Sep. tsirib.er tlirpusli Noyember, In the old days a husky citizen around SO) pounds in weight with a fair amount Of speed, could bo turned Into a football player In a few weelts.
