George was a grand tighter, and won
the light heavyweight championship
at Fort Erie from Jack Root In about
as gallant battle as one would want
to see. George did other timely and
highly interesting things, and must
be given the palm as being one OF the
grandest OF the middle and light
heavyweight boxers.
Jimmy is star now, whereas
George has passed. The third brother
was Billy, an excellent lightweight,
who. after winning some sights, saw
that he was up against the toughest
class in the business--which always
has been true OF the 183-1S5- Founders

other occupation.

clean football, but their formations
were torn to pieces by the skiliful

Football Players Who Earned
Gridiron Fame on the Same Teams

So often as to be worthy of note It
has happened in football that one I'M
usually good player has had a team
and position mate as good or nearly
so as himself. If so so much the bet
ter for the team, SO much more likely
the intense If ephemeraI joys of vic
tory. In the frequency with which
there have been a good pair OF ends. a
good pair of tackles, good pair of
guards or good pair of halfbacks-
the adjective should be strengthened
to fine or splendid. anyway above the
ordtnary-on some one team one of
the two may be better solely through
the example of his team mate. or else
the pair just happened to flourish con-
temporaneously.
Football sharps cannot dissociate
Henry of Princeton from Davis. These
two were fellow ends at Princeton and
the most able pair Of outfiankers Mas
sau ever had. Seldom do two PLAYERS
SO nearly matched in ability happen
to strike the same team at the same
time. How feet they were, how vfgf-
liant, now deadly in tackling, how hard
was it to turn their ends! And Shevlin
and Rafferty, of Yale! There was a.
pair Of finished ends for you, fleet and
strong and tireless and fearless, mas

We remember once seeing Shevlin

for safety. Shevlin and Rafferty, and
Davis and Henry played opposite one

OF end play in 1908 as isn't seen once in
ten years. Yale had another great pair
in Hinkey and Greenway of the early
'9Os. Hinkley never had superior.
possibly never an equal. He outshone
his partner Greenway, could diagnose
play better than any end before or
since and was sureness itself in tack

own account to bring the pair up to
high standard.
