...morning, and, towards the end, in the evening also. It is easy to see that the actual time occupied is, therefore, far from excessive. But during the last fortnight before the great game the football man will become more or less wrapped up in his fancies of victory or defeat. Up to this time the player, in distinction from the captain, has had few worries. He has been coached, but has not been required to study out problems of attack and defense, tricks and strategies, plays for emergencies, and plans of operation.

No matter how plucky a team may be, it is bound to be influenced more or less by the loss of the game which it was most anxious to win. The present victory, however, will tend to take away the sharpness from last Saturday's defeat, and to scatter...
