XVIII COACH ELCOCK’S REVIEW ON SEASON Explains How Aims of Coaches Were Developed—Maiiy Handicaps (By Walter B. Elcock) In writing this review of the sea- son of 1914, it is my desire to ex- plain in some measure the aims of the coaches in developing the team. Looking over the schedule it can be easily seen that it was necessary to develop and condition a team, in the Short space of four weeks, which would be able to beat Georgetown, a team which year in and Year Out has always been one of the best teams of the South. After this had been ac- complished, the schedsle called for one easy game and three hard games before facing A. and M. at Norfolk. Now some criticism has been made of the W. and L, team of this year because they failed to win the £Z8m€S intervening between Geurllemwn and A. and M. by large scores. 'l‘o these criticisms I want to answer by EX’ plaining that the coaches purposely loafed the team along for a period of almost five weeks because of the fear of the team going stale. The ordinary man, who has not made a study of athletics does not realize what a serious matter that is. and I Want to say now that men most cap- able of judging, and who saw the A. and M. game one year ago, that the trouble was not so much over-confi- dance as many people think, but a lack of condition on the part of the ‘W. and L. team. By lack of can dition, I mean that they had been brought to their top form and allow- ed to go stale. In attempting to avoid such a state of affairs, possibly the team was not worked hard enough during‘ the time between the Georgetown and A. and M. game: but to my mind, too little wrrk is vastly better than too much work. The season started with Marshall college, a husky aggregation, with a fair knowledge of defensive football, but with absolutely no olfense. In this gains the team was very ragged, as is very often the fault in an open; ing game. Next came the; game with Morris Harvey College. On that day the team ' as sent out to make a hundred points, and in mak- ing three over that number just about ran true to form. In the last peri >d, Morris Harvey gained a little ground by the use of the short, quick, forward ‘pass. This pass can gain ground consistently against almost any team, when the play is in midfield, and /she tackles forget to chargesthe 2-;1d«,, as they did on that lieiy, but the tackles who were play- -ing when the pass was being used were not Shultz and Miles. The play is never successful when used near the goal line, because then the secendary defense is drawn up close and is able to ‘intercept the pass. Next came the game with Roanoke College, and as I was away at G.-orgetown on that day, lam not able to say much about the game. Roanoke was able to gain a little ground through our line because they hid an excellent line lreaking full- batk, and because the poor offense Continued on page 4 _ club. l BIG TACKLE WHO WILL BE CAPTAIN OF 1915 ELEVEN l l TED SHULTZ Star Left Ta/.:l‘l‘ Young, other- wise “tiy This spsed merchant from Wes Virginia, finished the sea son with a total of sixty-seven points can ed for his team hv seven touchdown , twenty two goals after touchdown , and one field goal.

DEFEATED EVERY OPPONENT Season Was Miirked By Wonder- ful P1_aying-Nine Victories Won The A. and M. game in Norfolk which clinched the Generals’ claim to the South Atlantic championship marked the culmination of a series cf nine hard fought battles in all of which Washington and Lee was victorious. The past season was one replete with games interesting from a sprctator’s standpoint, as well as being marked by brilliant pieces of football strategy. The opening clash was with Mar- shall College, which made its first appearance against a Washington and Lee team. The Generals con- tended with a lighter teama and the 34 to O victory was chiefly secured through playing a line plunging game. The individual stars were numer- ous, Donahue, Gallagher, Simms and Young making brilliant plays. Morris-Harvey Overwhelmed The second came of the. season was with MOTTl! llravey in which 3 score of 13 to 0 was rolled up against the weak West Virginia eleven. At no time was the Gen. erals’ goal in danger and Washing- ton and Lee scored consistently all through the game. Gallagher, Smith, Donahue and Young totalling the greatest number of points. Roanoke Fights Hard Roanoke College next met defeat at the hands of the Generals in a game marked by strong offensive work on the part of both teams, the final score standing 59 to 0. Four touchdowns marked the first quarter and the scoring was continued through the remainder of the game. Pierotti, Gallagher, Seeley and Don- ahue starred for the Generals. Georgetown is Humbled Georgetown was next met and humbled bye 13 to 0 score in a fierce encounter in Richmond, terrific speed and dazzling tackles on the part of Washington and Lee making the victory possible. Georgetown assumed the offensive in the first quarter, but the second quarter saw the teams on even terms and the last half the Generals decidedly the aggressor. The first touchdown was scored in the first quarter. Camp- bell fumbled the ball, following a terrific tackle by Miles, and Sweet- land grasped the oval and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. The most dazzling play of the game oc curred in the last quarter, when Young ran sixty-nine yards for a touchdown from a punt formation. Sweetland, Young and Donahue were big factors in the victory, while Miles, Shultz and Harrison -stai:r_er1-'Lu_the_.l.ine._~, Crippled Generals Beat V. P. I.

One big game will be staged in Lexington, if sat- isfactory arrangements can be com- pleted, and this event will be an occasion II)!’ “alumni day,” when all the alumni will be invited to Lex- ington to see Washington and Lee’-s f(.OtI)3ll team in action against, a worthy foe. It will notonly be an attractive feature to the alumni, but will also give the students, who are not so favored by circumstances so as to permit them to travel with the Gen- erals to the scene of the major en- gagements, an oppor.unity to see a real hard encounter. The athletic authorities should bend every effort to the end that such a feature might be contained on the 1915 schedule. If present plans are consummated Washington and Lee Wlll play one big game in the South and another in the East. Neglecting Class Football It seems a pity that such little con- sideration should have been given to the schedule of the class football teams by those in charge. Upon the eve of examinations, with the teams absolutely unprepared, the announce- ment of the playing dates came. Naturally little interest is expected to be manifested in the games, which had they been properly arranged, would have created quite a hit of in- terest. There is little reason why the schedule should not have been an- nounced some time ago. Had this been done. it would not have found the class teams hopelessly unprepared for me events, W’rfi‘ch"'s'fioul'cl be lost ered instead of handicapped. Class activities need encouragement in- stead of added hindrances. Extra Copies For Sale The Ring tum Phi will oiTer for sale 150 extra copies of this issue.

Gra- ham scored a touchdown in the first quarter on a fumble and Captain Donahue landed a drop from the thirty seven yard line in the final period.

Washington and Lee outbattled their opponents‘ in three quarters, but let down in the third period and a score resulted.

A. and M. is Defeated The season closed with a 7 to 0 victory over North Carolina A. and M. in Norfolk. After the first three minutes of play when A. and M. made a long gain, the Generals clearly outplayed their opponents in every department of the game. A touchdown was scored in the second quarter on a forward pass to Seeley from Donahue, and there after the Generals played safely, their mighty line hurling back the A. and M. runners on every attempt to gain, while Young gained — ground by magnificent punting The whole ‘ream played stallar ball, not equalled at any time during the season. Captain Donahue, Miles and Beuh- ring closed their gridiron careers in a sensational manner. Young and Pierotti also loomed up as big fac- tors in the victory.

After the first five minutes of play, when owing to an unfortunate fumble,G eorgetown has the ball in our territory, George- town never had a chance. At the end of the game, when Georgetown was slacking up, W. and L. was still going at top speed, and those ‘who have watched the team this year know that they can go pretty fast.

After the coaches had a chance be- tween the halves, to explain what to do, Georgetown’s ground gaining stopped. The following Saturday Wake Forest, the§ team which North Carolina hada tough time beating 12 to 7, was encountered. It being the last home ga.ne of the season, the eam was sent out to go at top speed in order to show the student body just how good they were. The score of 72 to 0 tells the story for ,itself. On that day, however, one man showed himself badly over- trained, and this fact started the coaches to worrying, and it was de- cided to stop attempting to drive the team, and let them loaf along for a while, taking a chance on winning the next three games, rather than have a stale team on our hands .vhen it came time to play A. and M.

While in my own judgment, if we had decided to take chances and attempt to win by a wide margin, I think we could have at least doubled the score, the coaches (lecided to play the game safe, feeling certain that A. and M. could never score on us except by a fluke. If we had taken chances on rushing and pass- ing, there was always a chance for A. and M. to intercept a pass, or pick up a fumble and run for a touch- down,thus tieing up the game, and making nearly three months work useless. in to play the game safe, playing nothing but defensive football, and all the when WCf':‘h;)(l the bfill. 0111‘ policy was sugugsg. ful, and Washington and Lee came away from Norfolk with our first South Atlantic championship. In closing, I do not wish to pick out but one man f0I‘ any special men. tion. The college and the alumni know who the stars were, and have congratulated them. lvly interest lies in the team as a team, but yet I can't help but be pleased at the Work of a man who goes throrgli and blocks a punt, or of some other who makes a pretty run and turns the _tide our way. Letting that pass, ‘:however, the man who helped out ;was Captain Donahue, who could Ikeep a team travelling fast and tight- ling all the time. I once saw a gray, EVE?‘ combination \\as tnough to turn‘ 'Ihe1‘ef0re 0rd IFS were sent ‘ -~—.—Y. imagnificent team go down in defeat lbecause of the lack of a man to go liip to his line and arouse them by lpleaoing with them, or swearing at ithem or kicking them. Some men lare amenable to one method and some to another, but Donahue used the right method on the right man, with the result that even if we weren't playing our best football al- ways, we were always fighting, and that’s what wins games. To Raft- ery, my assistant, I will only say [that he has the ability to go out and turn out an excellent football team. He knows the game thoroughly. is able to impart his knowledge, and keeps his wits at all times. Isaid ‘last year that if this team was a iailure I wanted the blame, and if it had been a failure I would have shouldered the er tire blame. I said, too, that if the team wasasuc- cess I wanted the praise, but what ever praise is forthcoming, I wish to share with Raftery and Donahue. If, in whatever football coaching I do in theifuture, I can be certain of having as good men with me, l’m not afraid of my success. I never hope to handle a better crowd of boys than I had this year. They were clean and white all through, and never failed to give me the best thev had in them. Their record on Thanksgiving night, breaking train- ing.when a man is apt to forget him- self, was perfect, and nothing speaks more highly to me of the cal- ibre of the men of Washington and Lee university than that fact. The took a in and the way in which they |stranger from the North ltreated him as a friend. { My own record as a coach is still clear. In two year's coaching I haven’t been beaten. and if only the men necessary to fill up the places of those who have nlayed their last game will appear next year, I won't worry over next season. We have our first South Atlantic championship and we’ll go after another clean re- cord and out second championship in the season of 1915. college at large I wish to thank for.

H. C. Byrd, in the Washington Evening Star, selected an All-South Atlantic backfield, which consisted of Gooch, Young, Mayer and Tenney. In speaking of Young the writer said: “Many have rated Young and Gooch as the two most capable backs ever developed in this section and some have placed them above all others.” Several annual All-South Atlantic selections, which are expected to give Washington and Lee. players positions. have not been published. The Richmond Times Dispatch and the Washington Post have not made their selections, as yet. “Bill” Streit, who will make the All-South- ern selection for Leslie's weekly, has announced his intention of award- ing Young and Shultz positions on the first eleven.

Manager lS. O. Loughlin reported that a bal- llance of $1,736.80 was left alter all iexpenses incurred during the football [season were ofiset. The total gross ‘receipts amounted to $4536.74, in cluding $1,400—40 per cent of the lcampus tax,while all the epxense in- .curred during the season was $2,799 a The announcement that the re- ceipts had exceeded the expenditures was made for the second time in the athletic history of the University. In 1913, Manager L. R. Hanna made money. There was a loss of $1, 013 50 on the four games played in Lexington, but favorable circum- stances in Roanoke and Norfolk en- abled the management t offset these losses. The battle with Georgetown in Richmond was the most expensive to stage, costing over $700. The ex- penses of the West Virginia game and the battle on Norfolk Thanksgiv- and M., r_~_ei-e close lsecorlcls, as over $300 was expen ed. ] he V. P. I. and Swarthmore games‘ were the least expensive, costing $200 and $225 respectively. , The V. P. 1. battle was the most ‘productive of gain. while the A. and M . game was second in producing shekels. No official statement oi: at- tendance at the various games can be obtained, on account of the many passes, etc. Norfolk gave the larg- t the A. and M. game. LOUGHLIN GIVES BANQUET TO THE GENERALS IN NORFOLK Along with the sweeping victories of 1914 will be remembered the ‘numerous kindnesses rendered the team by S. O. Loughlin, Sr., of Wheeling, W. Va., the father of Manager Loughlin. At every large game of the season Mr.Loughlin was in attendance. Following the close of the season in Norfolk, Mr. Lough- lin honored the Washington and Lee squad with a banquet at the Monti- cello hotel. There, with the twenty players,the two coaches and the three managers assembled, the victorious Generals made merry. Speeches were made by Coach Elcock, Captain Donahue and several other players. It was indeed a pleasant event. At the West Vir- ginia game, Mr. Loughlin stood in, the lobby’ of the Kanawha hotel anril distributed to the followers of the‘ Generals white carnations with blue inserts. Although Mr. Loughlin has been a sincere supporter of the Generals, he is an alumnus of Washington and Jefferson. W. T.

Six of the seventeen monogram players will not return next season. Captain Donahue, Right Tackle Miles and Fullback Beuhring have finished their allotted time limits, while Center M. S. Barrow, Left End Ira Simms and Halfback Bill Smith will be absent. Eleven monogram men are ex- pected to be ready to start the 1915 campaign. Those whose return is regarded as certain are: Captain Shultz, Cy Young, Buck Sweetland, Kenneth Seeley, John Harrison, Frank Dingwall, Frank Scarry. Al Pierotti, Jimmy Izard, B. D. Bryan and John Gallagher. Both of the ends, guards and halfbacks will re- turn as will the center, left tackle and fullback. A quarterback will be the only player to give the coaches real concern, as Bryan may be de- pended upon for tackle. Then, too, quite a number of this year’s second team will be back to fight for positions. l l The lack of uniformity in the en- gravings of the monogram men in football in this issue has been due to an exceedinglylembarrassing condition of afiairs. The cuts of all of last > year’s regulars having been made, they weie loaned to the football de- partment so that it might -issue a program at the West Virginia game. However it developed at the last mo- ment that they had not been re- turned and the time intervening did not permit new engravings to be made. Search about college dis- closed old pictures of Beuhring, Smith, Barrow, Bryan and Dingwall, but none could be found of See1ey.—~ Editor's Note. Hotel Virginia ALEXANDER T.
