  sters were Cornell’s 12–⁠6 reverse at the hands of st. Lawrence and Virginia’s 12–⁠7 beating from Hampden-Sydney. Assuming that there were other reasons with respect to the mechanics of the game, it is safe to say that in each of the games mentioned above the surprised team was suffering from poor mental attitude. They started off with a false sense of superiority, received vital blows from their determined and inspired foes and never could recover. Many football fans do not real ize that a physically strong, mechanically-perfect or near-perfect team must enjoy certain frame of mind in order to win consis’ tently. Merely trotting out on the field does not defeat a smaller, weaker opponent. AS long as the under-dog has II men on the gridiron it has a chance to beat the favored men. A strong team that takes its assignment lightly, “loafing’ through plays and permitting the opponent to “beat it to the punch in any manner is bound to suffer in the score. The under dog is constantly trying, seeking break or an opening to put over a touchdown. It’s tackling and blocking and other fundamental work constantly threat ems. It is ever ready to snatch up a tumble or run a play over tackle who isn’t alert or pass into the secondaries’ territory when the defenders are slow and Indifferent. An overconfident team can off set the finest coaching. A team that doesn’t figure it has to put out” in order to win is half beaten before the whistle blows. And rarely can team that enters a game overconfident recall the proper frame of mind before it is too late. When suddenly it wakes up to the fact that it has handed it’s opponent an advant age, it seldom can rise to the occasion and rally. However, football teams usual ly recover from mental sickness during the week following an up set. A football player generally is not one to take a betaing and remain beaten. He usually bounces back for the ensuing game eager and determined. A team coming back from an de feat is extremely dangerous to its next foe.
