inic John Pont, football "coach of the year" last fall, is a great believer in Applied Psychology. And the hypnotic experiment cited below will support his viewpoint. He said former teams were so imbued with defeatism, that he had to start afresh with a new group of sophomore players with the will to win! B - George W. Crane, Ph. D., Mj). .. .CASE. G-556: John Pont, who Drivers If you had a heart attack at night, would the ambulance driver in yep* town reach your home in tune? A moment of delay, a wrong turn or an illegible street sign could mean the difference between death and life-saving oxygen administered by the police or Ore department. More and more cities, in an effort to eliminate driver contusion and to speed emergency services, especially at night, are converting to reflective street-name signs. These signs can be read more easily at night because they reflect light up to a distance of ,2,000 feet. Detroit, for example, has budgeted $74,000 for such signs, excluding installation costs. "Ambulance drivers and the police, as well as the average motorist, can reach their destination more quickly if they can read signs easily,*' Alger F. Malo, director of streets and traffic said. "Detroit drivers are delighted with them," Malo added, "and business men think the signs have a much better appearance. The signs are much more visible, provide a larger target for the driver, and can be seen from a greater distance and recognized earlier." Othe cities converting to these signs, which are usually green and white in color, include Abilene, Tex.; Milwaukee, Wis.; New York City; Huntsville, Ala.; Marion, Ohio, and several towns in California. Abilene's director of traffic, Russell Taylor, said: "We're converting for several reasons. These signs provide better visibility in the daytime and excellent visibility at night. I believe they will reduce rear-end collisions. Drivers can read the signs a block away. Knowing when and where to turn, they may not stop suddenly in an intersection - - a primary cause of such collisions. "These signs effectively help strangers coming into town and prevent people from getting lost. And they can mean the difference between whether or not the fire department can reach a fire quickly, especially on curving streets. "Fire engine and police car drivers must be able to pick 19 their information well in advance. These signs help", Taylor concluded. led the Hoosier football team to the Rose Bowl last year, claims success is largely in one's mind. He believes that a coach must instill the winning morale before even the test of football talqpt will become champions. And that is sound psychology for we have actually found that you are much stronger when you are confident than when you are fearful. On p. 373 of my college textbook, "Psychology Applied", I have listed the data from a hypnotic experiment on a group of soldiers. Before they were hypnotized, they were urged to compete with a handgrip machine, to find which was the strongest. Their average grip was 101 pounds. Then they %were hypnotized and again told to grip the instrument as tightly as possible. But they were first instructed that they were weak, sickly, feeble and anemic. Under this negative or "defeatist" attitude, even though they competed till the veins stood out <Hi their necks, they averaged only 69 pounds. But before they were awakened from the hypnotic seance, they were then told they were strong, powerful, Herculean, and urged to compete once more with the handgrip machine. Now they averaged 140 pounds. Contrast that 69 pounds with the 140 pounds and you can see the actual difference in muscular output a defeatists vs. a victory Outlook. Even in military campaigns, that same principle holds true. Marshal Foch, in World War I, thus stated that, "Morale is more important than materials". Napoleon's soldiers also rose to abnormal heights of courage and thus success when he was with them. The same was true of Julius Caesar. And also of both Knute Rockne as well as Ara Parseghianat Notre Dame. The old New York Yankees, likewise, had that cockey, winning morale. Vince Lombard! also discounts the effect of weather on a football team by saying "It's all in the mind". Granted, of course, that superb material must be involved, it is then the mental outlook that tips the scales. In fact, George Washington's thinly clad and poorly equipped troops beat the Hessians and conquered the British because of their mental tenacity (morale). Last year Miller Anderson was voted into the 'Hall of Fame' of all-time swimmers, after gaining thirteen national titles and silver medals in the Olympics. Yet his physicians told him he would never dive again, after his leg was shattered in World War II. This "will to win" is a first cousin to the "will to live", which often confounds doctors. Patients often give ip and die, without adequate medical cause, yet others who are given only hours or days to live, refuse to die by aheer mental dominance (willpower). f Send for my "Tests for Good Parents" enclosing a long, stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, for you can teach will power to your kiddies! •I, : (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, address envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
