Frank Chance
1t Is evident that Chance has the
faculty OF getting good work out Of all
kinds of players. and It Is therefore
with exceptional value that his advice

The best and only thing to do with
this kind of an athlete is to get rid Of

the Philadelphia Athletics, who are a
fine bunch of fellows both on and of
the field all eager to win and to help

There are no kickers or grouches on

ing. Whether or not there Is a hole
opened in the line. young Wendell may
nearly always be depended upon to
make substantial gain, and as this
is the case II must be attributed to
some innate ability Of the man rather
than any backing he gets from his
teammates.
In games this year, particularly in
that with Brown. he was seen pushing
four men ahead of him for distance
OF ten yards after they had begun to
try to stop his progress. That any
man can do this in the open game
when he can have no interference in
a solid body preceding him through the
line is the more remarkable and shows
that ii Is the man, not the team, that
makes Wendell what ne is.
OF course. as has been said, the rea-
son the man can do this Is that he is
Short. stocky, heavy and gathers speed
very rapidly. and there is but one kind
Of tackling that will bring him to earth,
and this kind Of tackling is done by
but one or two men on the college grid
irons OF today, one like Eddie Hart Of
Princeton, for instance Hart downed
Wendell for losses several times in the
recent game with Harvard. But the
Princeton captain Is in a class by him
self. Even when he IS tackled as he
should be there have been times when
he has broken the hold of the grappler,
shaking him from his feet, again run
ming free, to be attacked by the other
half OF the team.
In this man Harvard undoubtedly
has the wonder as well as the freak of
the football world.
1t is safe to say that when he com.
pletes his college course, with another
year on the football field he will be
hailed as the greatest line smashing
halfback ever produced In the annals
OF the gridiron. lie is but twenty one
years old and just in his prime. He
weighs $50 pounds and IS only five feet
six inches tall.
