Karl Friedrich Bril, spectacular fig
IRE on the gridiron for ten years, at
Harvard, at Phillips academy, Exeter,
n. H., and at fashionable st. Panl's
school on Long island, now appears in
mohe truly heroic character than
ever.

he found himself penniless Ave years
ago, when student at Exeter. But,
instead of giving ap bis educational
course, Karl Brill grappled with The
new conditions with as grim determine

perate combat On the gridiron.
In his vacations lie was q blacksmith
and motorman. Stripped to the wsi
he worked at the mouth Of fiery blast
furnace at Johnstown, making steel rails,
for twelve to fourteen hours a day, 4
kind Of work that usually only hardy,
burly Poles and Hungarians can be hired
to do.
But harder than that was the going
back to Exeter and waiting on table for
the very men he used to associate with,
himself the gayest, freest spender Of the
set. He even scrubbed the floors Of his
old dormitory and sawed wood for the
mems rooms. He beat their rugs, tended
the furnaces at the academy, and did
outside janitor work at private houses.
Up to the age of 20 young Brill had
known nothing more arduous than polo
playing with the sons Of New York'a
400 and engaging in tennis matches
with society buds. He had horses To
ride and drive and was a participant in
private theatricals and glee club festi-
walls. In fact, he shared in the gayest
life that young millionaires are accus-
toned to.
When the financial collapse came Kari
Brill might still have maintained his
pride and social position TO some extent
BY accepting position in a bank which
was offered to him. But to do that
would have meant the giving up Of bis
cherished plan Of college education
and fitting himself for mining engi-

studies.
With such cheerful good will did he

popular than ever with the majority OF
