OFTEN it has happened in football

or nearly so as himself In the fire.

Henry. of Princeton, from Davis
These two were fellow-ends It Prince

how hard was IL To turn their ends
And Shevlin and Rafferty,. OF Yale!
There was a pair of finished ends for
less. masters of their positions. When
they gripped man he went back to-
ward his own goal Yale had another
great pair i'm Hinkey and Greenway
of the early '90s. Hinkey never had a
superior. possibly never an equal lie
outshone his partner, Greenway;
could diagnose a play better than any
end before or since. was sure in tack
ling and efficient enough to bring the
pair up to a high STANDARD.
Harvard's best pair of ends were
Hallowell and Cochrane, of the vic
torious 1898 eleven. and Campbell and
Bodwitch. of the powerful 1901 team
Hallowell and Cochrane were built
alike. tall and rangy and of equal alb
ility. Their team play was great
Campbell surpassed Bodwitch. lie was
a scintillating star, bat Bowditch was
good, too.
Heston and Hernstein.
Probably the two greatest halfback'
ever developed were Heston and Hern'
stein of Michigan. Their feats of dar.
ing on the gridiron have never beer
approached i'm the west and probably
never equalled i'm the east wolverine
grads still tell of the wonderful opeI
field running of HestOn and of th'
brilliant dashes of IIernstein. the play
or who cried because he was forced by
injuries To remain out of part Of thu
last game of his college career. Thi;
pair made more points i'm a single sea
son than the entire Michigan clever
has made i'm the last two seasons.
Similar conditions are found i'm thu
tackle positions. Where there was
Wallis at Yale there was also a Win
ter. II was close between them as t.
which was the better. They were
clean-b built fellows, symmetrical rath
er than beefy. and both EXCEPTIONAL!
proficient at breaking through and fas
in getting down under a punt.
Then came Hogan and Kinney. TIVE
tackles at Yale. east in herculeai
mold. Kinney was not the star Hogan
was, but with his strength and siz'
fitted i'm well with the gigantic YAH
line of 1902 Cults and Blagden, tack
les on Campbelrs Harvard eleven o
1901, were a powerful pair both Draw
ney, heavy men, but active and fast
The holes they could open were lik'
unto a barn door. Hillebrand an'
Church. at Princeton. teamed ut tack
lc on the 1896 team. a strong and we'll
balanced organization, and were
puissant pair. So were Lea and Holly
of Princeton. an earlier day pair %
tackles. Waters and Newell, of Har
ward. who played tackle together i'm tn
old Springfield days. were n wonder
fully capable all-around pair Drapel
and Lamson OF Pennsylvania, were
also splendid pair of tackles.
The Mighty Yale Guards.
Noted pairs of guards have beer
numerous. Heffefhnger and Nor
rison at Yale nearly twenty years age
were a mighty men in the center o
build, but fleet, resolute and strong
getting over the ground and into al
the plays. Meffelfnger as n guarC
stands alone, and his partner was
lesser light. because Heffelfinger was
his contemporary. At that time riggs
and Wheeler were playing guard al
Princeton. They were corkers, too
and II was a battle of the giants wher
they lined up against Heffelhnger and
Morrison.
Brown and Sheldon at Yale In 1906
made a couple of guards who were Tho
pest pair at Yale since Hoffeiingel
