Football Smoke Talk.

Last evening at the Colonial Club W. C. Forbes '92, who coached so successfully the freshman teams of the last two years, gave an interesting talk upon "The Strategy of the Game." He defined strategy as the best use of opportunity and showed the strategic value of various parts of the field, of certain seconds of time and of the advantage to be gained by having the whole team understand "the why" of every play.

He said that for years the captain has not played through a whole game; that on an average there are five substitutes in every game; that by the end of the season 30 men have played in big matches and that by that time the men are all sick of football. From this he drew the conclusion that they were overtrained and overworked, and suggested as a remedy, that the men should not play so much on practice days but should play every game through and that there should be one day a week besides Sunday of complete rest.
