Mistakes made under lire the lire ot the football gridiron — are forgivable, declares Indiana's football coac h. “Bo Me Millin. "These foot bull players are just boys after all." the famous mentor points out, “and they do things sometimes ibat they would not do it they had time to meditate. But the thinking is swift out there and the boys make a supreme effort — a supreme effort that tutus out right to win or wrong to lose.” Mistakes at critical moments lost Indiana's first two games on the 1939 schedule — against Nebraska, one of the nation’s great teams, and against lowa, playing inspired football. Behind the scenes, in the looker room, following the lowa game, two football boys of Indiana were sobbing their hearts out, thinking the defeat ot their team was on their heads. "Monday morning quarterbacks," and others who criticise football players who work hard and fight their lives out for their team, might have expected to behold a growing coach, cursing the losers in the locker room. What happened was this: Couch McMillin walked over to the two grieving youngsters, patted them on the back aud said: "Forget it boys Football is just a game."— Bloomington Star.
