Winning Football Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Winning Football Game to play and to watch, but as a splendid sort of preparatory school for life - the success ful man is the one who can fight through adver sity, who can take punishment and come up smil ing, who's never beaten till the whistle blows. Football demands that sort of courage. And it develops and strengthens that quality in every man who plays it even reasonably long or well. Roosevelt's famous saying: Don't flinch - don't foul; hit the line hard, is basic football advice and first class advice for playing the bigger game beyond the gridiron.

Excerpt from Football for Public and Player In the pages that follow the author has endeavored by means of simple diagrams, and explanations shorn as far as possible of technicality, to give alike to the spectator and the younger player, especially the ambitious schoolboy who has not had the advantage of expert coaching either on the blackboard or afield, some idea of the plays that have been and are successful under the existing rules, and of the generalship that either wins games or loses them with honor. The plays and the use of them tell the story, and if the spec tator will apply inductive reasoning to the big games, finding his rule of play from the cases at hand, he will find the fascination of the game more than trebled.

Excerpt from Football for the Spectator There is many a spectator who goes to a football game in blissful ignorance, not only of the higher technique of the sport, but of the simple rudiments of the game, and his or her pleasure might be greatly enhanced by atten tive reading of the manners and methods of this so popular autumn sport.

Excerpt from Inside Football Beyond, the far horizon was lit with lightning flashes, not out of heaven but out of an inferno of man's making. And from above rained down the light and radiance of other worlds. It seemed very strange to be so far away from home and fireside, very singular to find oneself present amid surround ings so weird, so unreal. It seemed very strange indeed to be directing a squad of cannoneers instead of a squad of football players. Strangest of all, came the certainty that it was very much the same thing after all, that the little problems and perplexities were very like indeed to the old problems and per plexities. Football, I reflected, is very like war fare, after all, and warfare would be very like foot ball, were there as much intelligence in it. There is more intelligence, I added, in one football game.

Excerpt from Change Signals: A Story of the New Football I am taking this occasion to thank all of my readers, boys and girls alike, who have been so kind as to write to me. Sometimes your letters have gone unanswered for a long time, I fear; and it is possible that now and then, entirely by accident, one has been lost sight of entirely. If so I am both sorry and apologetic, for your let ters are always a real pleasure to me, whether, as is so surprisingly often the case, they are filled with praise for my stories, or, as is sometimes the case, they call me to account for mistakes made. Your criticisms, always just, are perhaps better merited than your praise, and are quite as well appreciated. My thanks and my compliments, then, to all my correspondents for their kindly.
