CREDIT BELONGS TO TRAINER

Dr. Daniel Luby, Ex-Pennsylvanla Player, Doing Splendid Work With Missouri Ttam. The Missouri roofers are willing to give credit to the trainer, Dr. Daniel F. Luby, the ex-Pennsylvania player who' was brought from the East this year to keep the players in good physical condition, for the splendid showing made by the team this season. In the games played thus far on Rollins field the effect of the new rules in lessening the number of injuries has not been, noticeable. Play has been stopped and time taken out for minor Injuries just as frequently this season as in previous years, says the Kansas City Star. But the rooters have noticed that nearly always it was a member of the opposing team — although it was heavier and stronger team —who called for time out. Some weeks ago Doctor Luby first appeared on the field and since that time the Tigers have met lowa, Ames and Oklahoma. Each one of these contests was a gruelling struggle for the team, yet there isn’t a team in the Missouri Valley, perhaps, that is in better physical condition as a whole.

There have been ’many injuries, but under expert treatment from Doctor Luby they have not resulted seriously and the victims are back in the game in a short time. The schedule this year is the hardest that Missouri ever had and }t was on the advice of Coach William Hollenbeck that a man was brought to look after the men’s condition. The football followers 'and the players'llke the way this man Luby works. His energy and spirit on the field is second only to that of Coach Hollenback himself. An hour after he arrived he was with Hollenback on the field, a cap on and coat off, ready for

work. And since then he has had plenty of work to do. No matter how small the injury, the player receives the personal attention of the trainer. Every afternoon, before and after practice, he “overhaujf’ the men personally, looks afw eiffh one who may be a “little off” until he is back in shape again. It is said that he can “spot” a stale man as far as he can see him.

Dr. Daniel Luby.
