BIRKETT OF MIDDLESBOROUGH AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE
(By F. M. Carruthers) ̧
The footballer is à peculiarly fit- ting subject for the psycho-analyst, He would find many perplexing prob- lems in the dressing-room.
Why should a player or even a team of proved ability suddenly and decline? without apparent reason

Soon after Mr. John Cochrane came from Scotland to manage the Sunder land club he decided that success in English football was made up of 75 per cent. of confidence and en thusiasm. The remainder be was pleased to attribute to, skill.
A MENTAL OPERATION There is no doubt that so far us the trained professional is concerned, A mental the game to-day is more than a physical operation.
Mr. Herbert Chapman was a pay chologist. He spent much of his time is trying to find out the thoughts of rival players and everyone-his ofllclats.

The game was fast, and although eaten the sailors put up a keen struggle, and it was not until the second half that the Club were able

CASE OF BIRKETT
One of the most Interesting pay chological studies at the present time is Birkett, the young Middlesbrough outside right, who played for England against Ireland.
Ан n member of the Arsenal tenni his future seemed unpromising 1 feured in fact that he might fols that big band of players who miss the
and eke out a living in un chunce distinguished company.
Then came his transfer and free- dom from the domination of all the stars at Highbury. The Halmes and the Bastins had overwhelmed him and given him a sense of inferiority, um! I can imagine him sitting in the train on the way to his new club and say ing to himself: "I'm as good as they show are at Middlesbrough. I' them."
Probably without realising the mental relief which his transfer gave him Birkett became a new man and a confident foolbuller with a belief in himself.
This is the change which has taken place, and I has been so tremendous that it has lifted him from a position of obscurity into un English inter. national in two or three montha,

raids drew Jevil from al several corner, F. Nolasco netting.
