\X7’E WERE talking about the
* ' leading football coaches of the
present year, Frank Leahy, Fritz
Crisler and Lou Little were in the
lead. There were
votes for George
Munger of Pennsyl-
vania, Matty Bell
of S.M.U., Blair
Cherry of Texas,
Bobby Dodd of
Georgia Tech and
Bob Higgins of
Penn State. Also
Harry Stuhldreher
of Wisconsin, Pop
Waldorf of Califor-
nia and Red Sand-
ers of Vanderbilt
came in for pleasant mention.
From this point the conversation
began to veer back to the great
coaches of the past — Pop Warner,
Knute Rockne, Hurry-up Yost, Bob
Zuppke, Howard .Jones, Jimmy Phe-
lan, Bill Alexander, Don McGuain,
Bob Neyland, Frank Thomas, Wal-
lace Wade, Bill Roper, Lonnie Stagg
—the long list began to grow and
grow.
Finally a gray-haired Kansan
butted in. His name was Jesse Har-
per — Rockne’s coach at Notre
Dame back in 1913 — the team that
wrecked Army in that year of foot-
ball history.
‘‘You've overlooked one of the
greatest,” Harper said. ‘‘On a par,
at least, with Rockne, Warner and
Yost.” This was a pretty fair build-
up.
"I’ll tell you his name,” Harper
said. ‘‘Percy Haughton of Harvard.
Haughton must be ranked around
the top. Here was a great coach—
not merely a good one. He was cold-
er than an iceberg, harder than
granite. But he was brilliant — a
natural leader.
‘‘He was to football what Gen.
George Patton was to our armies.
He was on his own. He had no
respect for what 120 million Ameri-
cans thought of him, because he
knew 95 per cent of them were wrong
as far as his job was concerned.
He Perfected Plays
‘‘No one ever invents anything,”
Harper said. “Twenty coaches
claim they used the forward pass
first. Ten coaches claim they used
the huddle first. The T-formation
was used as far back as 1908. But
it was Haughton who really perfect-
ed the hidden-ball attack, and it was
Haughton who really perfected the
mousetrap play more than 30 years
ago. Haughton never had the amaz-
ing personality of Rockne. But he
knew more football than anyone else
except Pop Warner. He gave the
game more. He worked day and
night.
“He hated football writers, so they
hated him. He hated practically ev-
erybody — except his own Harvard
team. He could hate them too. He
was ruthless. But don’t let anyone
tell you that Haughton wasn’t one
of the greatest coaches of all time.
I couldn't place a coach above him.”
Then I began to remember a few
things about Haughton — back
around 1915 in his contest with Yale.
I happened to mention the fact that
Yale had a big, fast, hard-charging
line. “I only wish they were twice as
fast,” Haughton said. "We’ll let 'em
through — and then cut 'em down.”
That was the way it happened. That
was the start of mouse-trapping.
‘‘If Haughton told us to jump off
a cliff 80 feet high, and he’d catch
us — we’d jump.” Tack Hardwick
told me once. “And the odd part is
that if he told us that — and we
jumped — he’d catch us.”
Haughton was brutal in his treat-
ment of many of his men. Ask Sam
Felton, a great Harvard star who
had to take unbelievable abuse.
Haughton timed his practice by
the clock. Five minutes for this—20
minutes for that — 15 minutes
for something else. He knew exact-
ly what his team needed. Not a
minute was ever wasted. Even in
practice no Harvard player ever
walked on the field. He had to run.
"Football is all action,” Haughton
said. “You don’t walk in any game.”
Got If riters Haired
Haughton felt that it was in his
power to insult or override anyone
who barred his way — including a
Lawrence Lowell, then president
of Harvard.
“I think we arc overplaying foot-
ball at Harvard,” President Lowell
told him once. ‘‘I agree with you,”
Haughton said. ‘‘Too much publici-
ty. Let’s bar all football writers
I from the field.”
Lowell said O. K. It was exactly
what Haughton wanted — and so
did most of the other coaches. Only
Haughton got away with it.
Football writers today spill noth-
ing. It was different 30 years ago,
especially when a dock of Boston's
football writers were Dartmouth
Haughton was the one who sup-
plied rough, yellow gloves for his
Harvard team against “Speedy”
Rush’s Princeton squad. Next day
the faces of Princeton players were
a sight. Tad Jones refused to let
the Yale game start until these
gloves were removed.
Haughton had one basic idea -
win the game. For four glorious
years in a row he wrecked four
good Yale teams—two by scores of
36 to 0 and 41 to 0.

By WENDELL BROOKS
The over-stuffed lady in the purple
dress had fingered every necktie
on the counter, and had Rusty
McGonegal — the clerk — pull some
two dozen boxes of assorted neck-
wear out from behind the counter,
had asked Rusty a dozen times
whether or not he thought green
would go well with blue and, finally,
had turned away from the tie bar,
sucking on her underlip and mum-
bling something about not wanting
to buy anything she wasn’t just sure
of, and that three dollars was more
than she wanted to spend on Henry
anyway.
Rusty sighed. He forced a smile
as he waited on the next customer.
All this, and heaven, too, he thought.
As if he didn’t have enough on his
mind already—enough meaning one
particularly cute bit of femininity
that was jockeying the number one
elevator at the large loop depart-
ment store. Miss Annabelle Toodles.
Brunette. Five foot two. But it
wasn’t only the person of Miss Too-
dles that Rusty was thinking about.
No, it was the fact she had, only
the day before, purchased a red and
white polka dot tie from him.
"I want a tie that will look well
with brown hair,” she’d said, dim-

Kidneys/
Help Them Cleanse the Hluod
of Ilnrmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, putlinesa
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order are sometimes burning, scanty or
too frequent urination.
There should bo no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use

DOANSPILLS
Rusty’s eyes bulged out. The
polka dot tie!
pling. “Brown hair and brown
eyes.”
And Rusty had red hair. Red hair !
and blue eyes. And here all the time
he’d thought. . . .
To top it all off, the floor manager j
had just made the rounds an-
nouncing they would remain open
until 9 o’clock. Nine o'clock on the
night before Christmas to accom-
modate last minute shoppers. It was
j too much. Nine o’clock and he’d
made a date the week before with
Annabelle. They were going to take
in an early show and wind up the
evening dancing at the Aragon. But
If she were more interested in brown ;
hair and brown eyes, if she'd sold (
out to hosiery — well, he didn't care
| if the store stayed open until mid-
night. Serve her right. She’d have
to work, too.
“No, lady, these are all the ties
we have. No. we haven't got any
special numbers tucked away any-
where I assure you.” Rusty felt like
yelling that if the woman couldn’t
find a single tie she liked out of
the some 500 laid out in front of her
she was . . . well, he didn't know
what she was but he was fed up.
Life had suddenly become meaning-
less. And time dragged on.
j He wondered how Annabelle
would act. But he didn't have time
'to think about that because Anna-
belle was suddenly standing right in
[front of him, smiling.
"I took a break. Wasn't it mean
1 of that old manager to make us stay
open when we had a date?”
j Rusty kept his eyes down on the
i showcase. “Mmm hm,” he mum-!
bled. She was talking like there was
nothing at all wrong. Just as if she’d
never even thought of another man j
in the world.
"Well, I’ve got to dash back. See
you at nine.”
! “Mmm hm.”
Women. They were all alike. He
looked up sullenly at the retreating
\ figure of the slim brunette. His eyes
! wandered up past her trim waist to
her hair. Why . . . Rusty’s eyes;
bulged out. The polka dot tie!
There it was, neatly tied in a bow
I on the back of her head, holding the j
locks of her hair in place. And all
; the time he’d thought. . . .
"Yes, sir,” he grinned as hej
slipped a tie into a gift box for a'
fellow standing at the counter.
[ "That tie will wear you for years.
II know you're going to like it. And i
I , . Merry Christmas!”
Many Ways of Saying
“Merry Christmas”
In France they say "Joyeux
Noel”; in Russia they say "Rozh-
| destvom Khristovym,” and in the
U. s. it's “Merry Christmas.”
Language is but the instrument
for expressing universal feeling on
Christmas Day. And wherever
Christian civilization has left its
mark, there the Yuletide greeting
is on everyone's lips
