HARVARD FRESHMAN
A GREAT ATHLETE
Young lie Moyne, of the Grim
son, Promises to Surprise
College World.

| BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 21.-If LIE
Moyne, the Brooklyn, Mass, boy. lives
up to expectations while at Harvard
with the reputation of being one of the
greatest if not the greatest athlete the
| college world has ever produced.
| LIE Moyne entered Harvard this fall
as a freshman, and his coming was
| hailed with delight by those who have
| the future of athletic sports there
most at heart, for he already has rep
utation in interScholastic circles as a
| shot-putter, an oarsman, a swimmer,
a broad jumper, baseball and football
player that is of the highest and of the
| most enviable character.
Although but 20 years of age, the
product of interscholastic coaching
only, and following rules for training
that only he himself laid down, LIE
Moyne Is a wonder in almost any game
or sport that requires strength, pluck
| or skill. He has hurled the sixteen
pound shot the phenomenal distance
of forty-fve feet nine and one-quarter
inches, pulled an oar in four cared
shell that was nearly equal to the force
Of the other three, covered nine feet
four inches in a standing broad jump,
played star game both In the field
and at the bat On the Brookline High
and Stones School teams, outplayed
any man pitted against him on the
scholastic gridiron and swum sixty
yards In worlds record time.
And now, just at the time when he
is most rapidly developing and matur-
ing, what cannot the splendid coaching
and training systems that Harvard will
LIE MOVna
make out of him?
The coaches have already started
work on him. He joined the football
squad when college opened, and his
football career at Harvard has already
begun. While many a star interschol-
astic player in the past has failed, even
throughout his entire college course,
Moyne has already won his.
!. LIE Moyne seems to have Caught on"
from the start. He has grasped what
coaches have told him to such an eX-
tent that it looks as if he were a fix
ture on the team. 1t is said at Har-
ward by those who know that LIE
Moyne's extreme modesty and atten-
tiveness to what the coaches tell him
further his development more than
anything else.
About the time that the coaches
were beginning to get the greenness
worn off LIE Moyne as a linesman
those who had been looking after the
back field became worried and began
to lament over the fact that there was
not man among the material at hand
that was kicker-one that could get
both distance. and accuracy into his
punts.
Then LIE Moyne began to practice in
this department of the game, and soon
showed such ability that 1t was decided
OF draw him back of the line when 1t
was necessary to advance the ball by
a well directed kick.
LIE Moyne is by no means star
player as yet, nor can 1t be expected
when his greenness is taken into con-
sideration. His game is, however. i'm
proving day by day. His speed, con-
sidering his weight, is exceptional, and
his general aptitude for the game
makes him one of the most valuable
men on the varsity squad.
His other accomplishments have not
as yet been tried out at Cambridge,
but it is safe to say that they will i'm
prove as his football game has done.
His great work in the outfield and his
strong batting will no doubt be brought
to the front next spring, when the
baseball candidates begin their sea-
sons work.
1t is, however, in field sports that
LIE Moyne will particularly shine. AS
a shot-putter and hammer thrower he
should be in a class by himself. Less
than year ago LIE Moyne knew moth
ing Of his ability with the weights, and
1t remained for Herbert Holton of the
Boston Athletic association, to bring
him out. LIE Moyne was then attend
ing Stones school and Mr.. Holton was
coaching the boys and looking after
their athletic training LIE MOyne one
day picked up the sixteen pound shot
and threw it such a distance without
using any other muscles than those of
his arm that Mr.. Holton decided to
make a shot putter out Of him.
That he accomplished 1t was shown
when LIE Moyne made his great put of
As feet 9A inches.
