STANFOKD UNIVERSITY, Oct. j
14,_Glenn S. Warner, whose Cardi
nals will meet Oregon Saturday,
and who is known as “Pop”
throughout the nation, where he
has left a broad trail of wonderful j
football teams from the Atlantic j
to the Pacific, is now entering upon j
his third season of active coaching ■
at Leland Stanford, Jr., Univer-j
sity. 1
He started his career at the Car- j
lisle Indian school where he imme- j
diately became a leading figure in j
the football world. The famous Jim,
Tfiorpe, who is known as the great-,
est of all who ever packed a ball j
on the gridiron, is a Warner prod- j
net of that first coaching experi
ence. Success with the Indians soon
took Warner to the top of the list
of already famous coaches of the
east. He was full of new tricks with
those Indians. Each game' would
see something new used in the way
of winning a football game.
Pittsburg Lures Warner
He became sought after by all
the great colleges and universities
of the Atlantic coast.
The University of Pittsburg fi
nally managed to bring him to its
campus, and it was there that he
really re-established himself as a
figure of importance, and proved
to his disbelievers that there was
something in his method of coach
ing that was of real stability. Some
thought that he could not last.
At Pittsburg he turned out the
teams that made the Penn school
one to be feared on the gridiron,
and with several championships in
terspersed during his reign there,
he was secure in his position at the
top. He wTas constantly referred
to in matters of football decisions
and criticisms. His name was swept
from east to west each time he in
troduced something new in the
game. He was known by this time
as the old “Old Fox” of the game.
Stanford Follows Suit
Then Stanford decided that it
would like to have a good football
team, one which could really com
pete with the rest of the colleges in
the Pacific coast conference. War
ner was brought to the Pacific
eoast.
His contract at Pittsburg stop
ped at the end of the 1923 season,
and in 1924 lie took charge of the
Cardinal football squad.
Great things were expected of
the man who rose so quickly to the
top of the ladder in the east. Every
one watched the Stanford teams.
They watched the slow develop
ment of the players as ithe Warner
system began to be absorbed by
them; they watched and criticized
the manner in which the quarter
backs handled the teams; and they
watched “Pop” himself.
As far as football history goes,
they saw a great Cardinal machine
down every opponent in the confer
ence, establish itself as the cham
pion, and then lose a tough game
to the fighting Irish, the famous
'Four Horsemen’ from Notre Dame.
That was in his first year with
Stanford. He said little or nothing
about this great victorious season
with his Bedshirts, but settled
down to fight out another year
when the season rolled around.
Warner Had Nevers
Stanford and Ernie Nevers be
came a threat for the championship
again. The fullback on Stanford’s
team was the talk of the coast.
‘ ‘ Pop ’ ’ worked with him, built
plays around him, and threw his of
fensive game into the opponents
with Ernie Nevers. Washington was
supposed to be the team of the day,
and the nation watched the calen
dar to see when the Huskies were
to play the Cards. Washington;
came out of the north with a steam-1
roller of a football team. She hadn’t I
been stopped, and while Stanford!
didn’t manage to turn the trick, I
it was her first and only defeat
of the season, to bring her second
place in the conference.
“Pop” Fond of Boys
Right now, “Pop” is out on the
football field in his knickers and
sweater, working with his squad.
Every night finds him there and
the men are struggling for Warner.;
He is saying nothing about his 1925
team; he is too busy thinking about,
ways to make his team do the unex-1
peeted and beat the rest of the |
conference this season. The “Old;
Fox” is “Pop” now, and he is j
working with his boys.

Freshmen Girls Show Higher In
Linguistic Test Than Frosh Boys
Professor H. R. Taylor Explains Results of Psycholog-,
ical Tests Given Freshmen
Are freshmen men or women the
more intelligent? Professor H. B.
Taylor tells of results of freshmen
psycologieal tests. “There are six
girls out of 367 who made a medium
per centage rank of .95 on the five
linguistic tests. Only three boys
out of 454 did the same. In the
quantitative tests the boys did much
better than did the girls, but as
success in “Froshdom” is measured
more by linguistic factors than by
quantitative, the girls have a high
er scholastic average,’’ stated Pro
fessor H. B. Taylor, assistant pro
fessor of psychology.
He accounts for the linguistic
tests being more accurate indica
tors of success because they require
a quicker intelligence in reading
lines, and since college work ex
acts this quality in a greater degree
than the other, the women more
easily adapt themselves to the new
school system.
In last year’s frosh class the
same situation occurred. The girls
were more homogeneous; the boys
were more variable. While ,the
former’s grades clustered about
the center, .the latter’s swerved to
the extremes. The girls came nearer
to doing what could be expected of
them according to test scores than
did the boys. This was not startling
in view of the fact that they did
better in the more conclusive tests.
Professor Taylor’s opinion was
that the majority of people tend to
follow grade averages in accord
ance with test scores. However, es
pecially among the men, those who
make high test scores but low
grades are more numerous than
these who make low test scores but
high grades. This may be because
the former do .not work as much
as they are capable of doing or be
cause the latter take fewer subjects
and concentrate more.
In last year’s experiment it may
be that those who procured high
grades but below average test
scores didn’t do themselves justice
on the tests because of external
circumstances or emotional upset.
It is possible that they made up for
their mediocre showing in the tests
by working expecially hard, or by
taking fewer subjects and concen
trating upon those few-. Another
consideration is that they may be
taking subjects such as music or art
wherein talents outside the intelH->
gence measurements are necessary
elements. Physical re.duc^tibn.VSw'ds
many in o^tainin’g.th'!e'iiv.'high;-grhele;
a_y,eriges. - ■ ;rt'*
Professor^Taylor went on,to say
sthat there were alsoymany, factors
to take into consideration in ac
counting for that class, opposite of
the above; the ones w-ho made low
grades but above average test
scores. Their test scores pointed to
a, high degree of intelligence. Either
they did not work as hard as they
were qualified to do, or, though
they were naturally bright, they had
not learned in high school how to
study. Possibly it was on account
of this very brilliance that they
had managed to skip through the
lower grades without working. It
may be that they took too many
subjects or extra-curricular activi
ties. Ill health, a financial situation
such as forced them to do outside
work, and other outside worries are
often elements of extreme import
ance.
“On the whole it is safe to as
sume that these tests are of some
importance in measuring the schol
astic ability of new students,” con
cluded Professor Taylor.
