breaker and splendid defensive player.
His run from fake kick against Princeton
at Manhattan field in 1906 was one Of the
most thrilling things in the history Of the
game and prompted Richard Harding Davis
to refer to Thorne thus: Some men play
foot ball and some make foot ball history.
Captain Thorne belongs to the class that
makes foot ball history" Yales next
great player was Gordon Brown, guard for
four years, an All-American selection and
captain of the 1900 team that made the
biggest total scores against Harvard and
Princeton of any team. Princeton was
beaten 20 TO and Harvard Is to 0.
Brown was a giant I'm stature, rather
slim in build, but like Hefelfnger, rangy
and fast. He was taller even than Heff,
though not so rugged. Yale has had three
guards who were pre-eminent in their DO
sition. Heffelhnger was one, Brown an
other and Glass the third. Glass was a
more recent product than the others, but
quite in their class. On the same team
foot ball has had, the same being Holt
and a great player. George Chadwick,
captain Of the 1902 team. of which Glass
was one, was a great player, greater in
reality than he generally got credit for
being. for there was nothing whatever
snowy IN his work. Nevertheless he was
fine halfback in all respects and abso-
lutely reliable
were Foster Rockwell, the quarterback of
the 'O2, '0S and N teams, and Tom Shevlln,
end for four years and captain of the 'O5
team. Shevlln was a whirlwind, the en-
bodiment Of speed and power. Like the
other great ones, the more important the
game the better he played. Yale had a
player under the new rules who ranks with
his illustrious predecessors. There can be
no doubt that there was at least one player
under the reformed code who had all the
qualifications OF foot ball greatness. and
that was Bob Forbes, the All-American end
of 1906 With one exception he was the
most striking figure, by virtue of all-around
ability, service, dash and skill, of the sea-
son Of 1906. The one exception was Ecker
sail of Chicago. These two were the best
players OF tho past season and go in the
great class.
Great Princeton players Of the early days
were Snake Ames and Edgar Allen Poe in
the back field and Hector Cowan, the
tackle. Cowan was as valiant a pigskin
warrior as he was big, while Ames and
Poe were dashing and effective players,
whose fame will always live. Reference,
already has been made to Riggs. and after
him came Phil King, Old Nassau's most
noted quarterback. Billy Church, captain
of the invincible '96 team, was a tackle OF
