He surprised us ail yearn ago when, as a stocky, stnilu: boy from "Back of the Yards be entered the University ot Chicago Willi a reputation of having boxed several preliminary bouta In tho ring, and made cood, not only on the football iluld but. in classes.

We Ui ought him an "athletic -indent" until A. A. filagR declared one day Ilozdok was one of the snuaoft foolhsll men he over had handled. Ho surprised us when he ni nto the Northwest and turned out two corking (ootball teams Orescm He save ua a bigger surprise when Barney Drcyfu.is made man. sey iif the Pittsburgh na-seball Club.

One night In Chicago there wai a big huao'inll dinner and aomo one on Bezdek and he gave us another surprise. He arose and tnade one of the beat and moist eloquent talks over made at such a Catherine. This fall he took the Penn Stair team and. with seemingly little above avereare material, swept through tho schedule, overturning th dope in nil directions ami winning tor his team the host eln.ni of ny tcsvm to tho title of Kiurtein champion, Anally muting his greatest rlv.il.

in the annual feud nf the Slate. Now he has given us another surprtne. He has told tho story of that game with Pitt and told It In a manner that letOeri no doubt ho could vrius about tho best analytical football of any writer 111 tho country. His story Is one of tho wonder ynrns of football and gives a new insight to the generalship and hani work of a collego football coach. STRATEGY OF GREAT FOOTBALL GAMES.

Icst this seems hit immodest permit mo to say that 1 am leaving myself out of tbo thing en- llTho gamo with 1'ltWlmrgh Is, of course tho most Important one on the schedule of the Penn State team yvery year. In 1U18, when I look cluirgo ut Penn State as coach the ono blc fact that was Impressed upon my mind wh that wo must lick Warner. Why It should havo been Warner Instejid of Folwell or some of the other" was not then quite clear t0 my mind. Of course thoro Is the natural rivalry between the Institutions, but there was something mors, It was not long before I became acquainted with conditions ut Penn Stato and throughout tho Fast and discovered that to "lick Warner" was tho object of almost all tho coaches In the Kant. Tho work of winning the gamo of lat November.

119. began early In 11S. I hnd un excellent opportunity durlns the S. A. T.

C. period In 1318 to figure out a progranuno to follow If Warner was to be beaten. During that o.ntlre season I made a study of Warner's style of defense and of little characteristics that go to innko up his style of play. 1 found out how conditions stood for our game In l'ltlt. Warner I knew hud a great wealth of athletic material.

Theie was little use to I Urine on any vital weakness In his team or to attempt to discover some' flaw in some weak man upon which to concentrate an attack, gathered nil tho information possible regarding Warner, his men nnd his methods, tabulated In during the season of 131R. and commenced to tlgure how to win a game yar Inter. At the slnrt of ho training season of IB1 commenced lo po'nt both the nfftiimn and Ihn defense toward Pill Handling a baseball team on Forbes Field nil jcjir I naturally Know the condition of the soli, nnd I knew from ncperlence tliut it was a vory slushy, muddy Hold, nnd Inquiry developed tho fact that conditions In the fall wore nhout the same every year. Part or the ground is fUled ln and becomes soft quickly. 1 worked for un offsnslvo on that sort ot a Held Urst of nil.

In OiU I was extremely fortunate in this r.j epect because xperieni Suds in coachlni Tho Penn game l.uhen., nnd thh. fall was won through that kind mu.Mv of stratcgV-and the credit for the 1 "Icet. and Mn. fcelnm to the boaid of strat- Jm ''all us well 1 have had considerable ulu, a I I ST up there; I waa further minutes of nlas.

Naturally there was some criticism. I was not In a position to explain without betraying tho plan of campaign which wan approved of In the tillowH thuniselveri and by (hone who were aiding In de- eloping tlie team; coaches, as rule, spend their time nt blacklmard work and diagrams on rainy days. Fortunately, we were so situated that vts could not cany on much Indoor work, and that furnished suf- flfifltlf l.lr.t.nll....

THK annual sosslon of the National Colloglato AsEoclaUon, which Is on in this city this week, will bo notablo for several reasons, particularly becauso lt will probably result in the adoption uf boxing as an Intercollegiate sport, Just as football and baseball are now. The athletic authorities of the University of Pennsylvania nro already on record as urging the sport and Yalo haa taken up the Idea too.

Unless powerful objection is made to tho project by representatives of other colleges, it Is likely that a boxing association will be organized and intercollegiate meets hold regularly, lale has. Kddlo Kagan, winner ot the A. K. middleweight boxing tournament In I'arls, and ho probably will be chosen head of tho proposed organization at New Haven. Ho played h.ilf back on the Yalo eleven laat fall and is also a leading candidate for tbc track team tho coming spring.

M-iJor Pickering, graduate manager athletics at Pennsylvania, has his ideas about the conduct, of boxing among college boys. He favora three-round bouts of two minutes each, with two Judges and a referee, the latter to decluo tlm winner If the Judges can't agtce, or othorwiso the referee might order an extra round. Thero Is no desire on tho part of the colleges who ivor boxing to mnko pugilistic champions of their students, they simply recognize the glove game aa an ideal form of exercise. GKORtJE M' DONALD, who Is here from Kngland with t'harles Cochran to Induce Jack Dempsey to sign up, for a light with George Carpcntler, guthered around the fistic board with Hilly fjlhson. Dan Cassldy and other sport followers.

They discussed fistic men nnd tldngs of pa-d. and present. "Too bad, Indeed," remarked Mc-Donnld, "that tho recent Carpcntler-Heekott light couldn't have been held in AhVrt Hall. It would have drawn nt least 40,000 As it was In a small building, -with a seating capacity of 4,000, It drew a house of 23,000, or 1 115,000." "Why wasn't It held in Albert Hall?" asked G.bson- "At the time It would have been too much of a risk for tho promoter," answered McDonald. "You see," went ou George, "Albert Hall Is peculiarly situated between two parishes.

Klther of tho pastors might have entered a vigorous objection, and the King m.ght have been forced to call lt off. This would never do at tho last minute, with all the money Invested, so it was decided to take no chancer, and th. smaller place was selected. The best seats were sold for as high as 1 25. and the lowest priced went foi something like 17." "Was pretty tough, wasn't It, to see old Jem Drlncoll beaten?" Interrupted "fllb."
