~ HICAGO, Oct. 12.-From the
high school football field TO
the prize ring; from the halls
of learning into the heat of f1stic
fray from moleskins into trunks
and boxing gloves-thats the jump
Ben Groutch who captained
championship Cook county high
school football team last fall, has
decided to take.
Groutch was graduated from
a diploma and the reputation of
being one of the best football play
ers who ever made a tackle for the
Crane colors. He played three years
on the team, the first two as a half
back and the last one, 1911, as a
fullback. In 1911 he was the cap
tain of the gridiron squad.
Groutch's 1911 team work won the
Cook county championship last
fall in the minor division of high
schools That was as far as
Groutch could lead his team, for
the boys were not big enough to
compete in the major division.
During vacation last summer
Groutch watched Chat is, he did
watch for aWhile) some of the IA
nous ringmen swatting one an
other about the Nate Lewis gym
nasum in Madison street. Groutch
is a cousin of Nathan and haunted
his place because he loved the
thud of the padded fist, just as
much as he enjoyed the smack of
sharp tackle on the field of high
school glory---the gridiron.
Crouch Boxes x. o. Brown.
One day when Groutch was pres
ent there staggered into the gym
nasium as tough a looking party
as one would care to gaze on at
close quarters. The rough person
began to divest himself Of his
clothes preparatory to a workout
in the ring AS Groutch watched
the fellows bullying muscles he

coming champion of the middle
weights" remarked Lewis, who
manages the Greek terror DO
you want to box with him? He is
shy of sparring partners, because
he hits them too hard"
To Lewis surprise, Groutch real
ly consented He got into some
trunks, pulled on some big mitts
and went six ROUNDS with the
knockout lad. who has fought all
the good 15S- Founders in the game.
The gridirOn hero and the ring
veteran went at it in slam bang
fashion and the molesdn boy was
on his feet after eighteen minutes.

-EW YORK, Oct 12.-This is
y back field year" in football
Practically every new man of
any real promise whatever devel-
med this far, in the East at least,
iz q member of the ball carrying
.orns 1t seems certain that when
he curtain shall have rung down
., the end of November, the fellow
Scanned as the seasons greatest
oridiron warrior will be one of the
quartet behind the line. Yale, Har-
Yard Princeton and Pennsylvania
the Big Four-all have their one
particular crack who has jumped
INFO the fore at the outset.
During the last decade the bright
snecfal lights of the several seasons
have hailed from almost every po-
sition
Last year he was an end-the
one only and peerless Sam White,
of Princeton, who picked up fun
HE'D balls and galloped over half
the field length in scoring victo-
res over Yale. Harvard and Dart
mouth,
The preceding season he was a
quarter back-Earl Sprackling, of
Brown. who. practically unsupport-
ed BY a mediocre team, tore off
omen field runs of dazzling brillian-
~ his greatest achievement being
an almost single handed defeat of
Yale.
In 1909 Jack Fitzpatrick, a typical
Yale style of compound end, was
the sensation, his wing of the team
being totally impregnable all the
year. and his work in getting down
under kicks put him among the
greatest ends in history.
Coy Greatest of All.
The season Of 1908 brought forth
the man considered by many the
greatest that ever played. He was
full back, the tremendous Ted
COY. of Yale, the best all around
kicker of his year, and the most
powerful line pulverizer within
memory
That this year of 1912 will offer a
man even closely comparable with
Ted Coy is not to be expected.
Another full back was the star of
1907 in Sam Kennard, of Harvard
who made a field goal that beat
Yale
Walter Eckersall, Chicago's mar
velous quarter back of 1906, was in
a class by himself as a drop kicker
was an untouchable specter in an

10y - Jill u IISC1 l.
(Fullback of the Vanderbilt football
team in 1901 -02 o. "a and later
the first Rhodes scholar from
Tennessee to Oxford, England0
THERE is such diversity of
play in modern football and
such difference in their ma
ture that many kinds of plays are
practically Incompatible. 1t is diff
ficult to compare a wonderful kick
with a skillfully executed forward
pass, or an old-time smash through
the line with half the team hiking
the man with the ball, with one of
these artful, lodging runs through
a broken field which so delights
spectators.
The most remarkable kick | ever
saw was in a game OF Rugby play
ed at oxford, England. between the
all-South Africans and oxford uni
versity. A South African, running
at top speed and surrounded by
several tacklers, dropped a goal
from the field at a distance OF about
35 yards.
This Is no effort at humor, nor
application for membership in the
Ananias club. It's fact
1t was truly a wonderful play,
and the ball sailed over the center
Of the posts clear out of the park.
1t looked as if it would have gone
over from the center of the field
Yea, 30, It Was Some Kick.
1t very much resembed in this
respect kick made by Fitzpatrick,
of Sewanee, in 1900, which won
game from Vanderbilt by an eye
lash, as it were.
Vanderbilt had made two touch
downs and had missed both goals
Sewanee had made one touchdown
and kicked goal. There were only
a few minutes to play and Vandy
seemed to have the game slowed
away on ice. Sewanee heeled a
fair catch near the center of the
field. With the wind blowing a
hurricane behind his back, Kilpat-
rick kicked the ball clear out of the
lot. He could not have kicked it
nearer the center of the bar if he
had measured it with a rule and
the ball landed in the top of a tree
standing behind the north goal on
Dudley field In those days a goal
from the field tailed five points. so
this phenomenal kick gave the III
gers the game by a score of II
to 10.

open field, sturdy interferer for
his backs and an unfailing general
in directing the attack.
Tom Shevlin, a human combina-
ton of a battering ram, stone wall
and bullet. who featured every Yale
game in 1905. was a greater end
even than Fitzpatrick, because of
the fearful speed with which he
hurled his 200 pounds down the
field
In 1904 the guard position had its
day John Dewitt, certainly the
most sensational and one of the
most capable linemen in the annals of
the game, held the center of the
stage. His long run, a la Sam
White, followed by a 45-yard goal
after a fair catch, humbled Yale
and won the Tigers the battle.
Then There Was Heston.
Willie Heston half back of the
irresistible, keep-on- going, tear
them apart sort, won the 1903 hon
ors for Michigan Now. coming to
the first year of the decade. we
find Columbia possessing the top
rung man. He was Harold Weeks,
the wonderful half back and hur-
dler, whose fame has lived in New
York's big university these ten
years, though the game he helped
make great has been under faculty
ban.
Surveying the entire ten years,
we find three ends, two quarter
backs, one guard, two full backs
and two half backs in the cOnspic-
uous class. In other words, there
are four linemen and six backs. The
line seems to stand little chance
of catching up any of the difference
this year.
Flynn Is a Wonder.
The quartet who have bounded to
the fore are Flynn of Yale, Hard
wick of Harvard. Fred Trenkman
of Princeton, and Harrington of
Pennsylvania. Of the bunch Hard
wick and Flynn look the best, with
an edge in favor of Flynn. The
latter played his first varsity game
for Yale against Syracuse a week
ago, and was two-thirds of the at
tack, as well as a star on de-
Tense Among other things, he
scored two of Yale's three touch
downs and still another which was
disallowed because the officials
considered that he hurdled one
tackler All of them were on runs
of between 20 and 80 yards At
Yale they are booming Lefty
Flynn, a second Ted Coy. That, to
be sure, is going a little too far,
but after seeing his great perform
ance of last week, we can not do
otherwise than declare him to APP
pear at least the equal Of any man
since the great Ted.
Walter Camp, Jr., Star.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the illness of Walter Camp, Jr, will
not prove so serious as to keep him
off the Yale eleven in the fall If
in condition, he should prove, as he
did toward the close of last season.

and addresses to their letters. and there
would never be letter but what sou d

one that is little bit more expensive
That is to have a small card printed

1t has been said that our present
difficulty of making ends meet is not
SO much the high cost of living as the
cost of high living. There is some
truth in that, but it is not complete or
satisfactory. For the last ten years the
problem of existence has become more
and more difficult. There is enough
for all to live in comfort. but somehow
the distribution has been unequal and
unfair. Somebody has the advantage
and the meanness to squeeze us hard,
and we are squeezed until we sweat.
