Colgate magic depends on a left halfback who can run, pass, kick and block.

Stanford opens its 1940 fall football campaign with a new coaching staff, a new system and new spirit, Practically everything is new except tht playing field and a batch of holdovers of exceptional talent. It usually takes from two to three years for an incoming coach to get his organization perfected, but from the way Clark Shaughnessy had things rolling in spring practice observers would not be surprised to see Stanford in the thick of the Pacific Coast conference fight from the start. Stanford football in 1939 was of the "hot and cold" variety.

His two-day total was five strokes better than the 145's registered by Marvin Ward of Spokane, the defending champion, and by Duff McCullough of Philadelphia. Next best margin appeared to be the four strokes by which Bobby Jones distanced his amateur rivals in 1926. Still, Chapman lacked a stroke of equalling the qualifying record of 199 set last year by Tom Sheehan.

There were eight at that figure, and in the knock-out competition for seven places just before dark Bamea got mixed up in the rough and took a six. It was fatal.

Shaughnessy took over with a decidedly unimpressive "won and lost" record In his last season. His 1939 University of Chicago team, was distinguished by the fact it lost games by scores of as high as 85 to 0 before It abandoned intercollegiate football. At Chicago, however, Shaughnessy had such weak material he had difficulty in rounding up enough players for a second rate team.

His ability as a top ranking coach, organizer and leader never was questioned. Turnout Thrills Him His eyes popped open when he gazed at the Stanford turnout last spring. Every morning, before the novelty wore off, he murmured delightedly over his oatmeal at the prospect of having a 225-pound fullback who could run like a race horse, big tackles, some well-trained ends and at least two players for every position.
