the dismsycd Harvard men could move
from their tracks or his teammates grasp
the situation, picked It mp, circled swift

for the goal line, finishing his @-yard

Harvard qua rter back recovered punt

with a 20yard clear space around him
Across this twenty yards of space White
hurled himself at the Harvard man in
fierce tackle that threw him back over
the goal line for safety that won the
game for Princeton. HIS psychological
moment in the Yale game came when the
Yale centre made poor pass that was
f,imblcd by q Yale back. and again he
was on the job with the "pinch" stuff.

Sanford Brovnell White was born in
Fall River, Mass, IN 1885. He received
his early training in the F'all River High

as a baseball player on the high school

owes to larry Dowd.
Preparatory School Days
In 1907 and '0S White played hsk back
on the Exeter Academy eleven and short
stop on the baseball team, and performed
brilliantly in both these branches OF
sports. He was also a sprinter on his
class track team, and good student.
White entered Princeton In the fall of
1908, and played brilliant game at

derful ability TO follow the ball. This
and his speed and agility make him the
most dangerous player the game has pro
duced when opponents make errors.
There have been ends who tackled as
we'll a. White does if not better than
he; who were surer death on plays in
their territory; who had greater speed !;
who carried the bah better; who were
more effective in the interference; bot
the ends who thus equaled or ezcelled
him have been rare, indeed. and none OF
them-Frank Hinkcy, Carrie Cochrane,
Dave Campbell Tom Shevlin or kilpat-
rick-was in Whites class in following
the ball and being on it when it was
loose.

Opportunlst Of Gri6iron
Sammy White might well be called
an "opportunist OF the gridiron,' and
his wonderful alertness and ability to
follow the ball Just at a period in the
history Of the game when the existing
rules cause these attributes TO be OF the

after such famous names as Poe, De
Witt, Bill Edwards and Hillebrand are
forgotten. beng football hero is one OF
| the least OF his accomplishments. There
is little IN the way of honors at Prince
ton that White has not cornered He
was captain and third basemau of last
years championship baseball team and
made the winning nun in the Yale game
at New York last June by seeing the ne
cessity OF daring work and taking a big
chance on the bases in. much the same
way az he did when he scooped up the
loose ball in the Yale football game
White thus enjoys the unusual distinc
ton OF having beaten Yale in both base,
ball and football in one season and bring
ing the championship OF both these
branches O; athletics to his college
through his own individual brilliancy. He
also played on the basketball team in his
sophomore year and scored many more
points than any other player on the
team.

White is of ideal build for the end

weighing 1S0 pounds. and alert and fast

real love in athletics is baseball. He is
an inhelder and snre hitter, with a
pcncbant for rising to the occasion IN

same as in the gr,dnon game. This
pulling the stuff in the pinches" seems
to be White characteristic IN every

White appears to have a flock of psy-
