"You, sir. are the most wonder
full athlete in the world"
That Is what Gustav, king Of
Sweden, told James s. Thorpe.
the Sac and Fox Indian, who won
the two all-around events for the
United States in the Olympic
games.
If King Gustav could see
"Jim" Thorpe play football he
might add: "You are the most
wonderful football player in the
world"
To prove that the Swedish
king spoke straight Thorpe came
back home and won the A. A. U.
all-around championship, break
ing all records, incidentally.
This year Jim" Thorpe,
picked last fall by Walter
Camp as one of the ALI
American half backs, is lead
ing the Carlisle Indian team,
which some critics declare Is
the strongest eleven in the
land.
Thorpe, as captain, Is rounding
out his career in a blaze of glory
"a fitting finale to his wonder
full exploits on two continents,
during which he has been feted
by a king, eulogized by presi-
dent and royalty greeted in two
of the greatest cities in America.
He is the greatest halfback in
the world. Football Is his spe-
cialty. Although at home in
sprint, jump, hurdle, shot put,
discus, vault or as a baseball
pitcher. he prefers football and
is conceded to rank as one of the
three or four greatest halfbacks
football has produced. - D.
With the ball tucked under his
arm, Jim" Thorpe, in a broken
field, is a sight to arouse the
most stoical football critic. An
eastern coach last fall said it was
worth the price of admission, to
see Thorpe go down the field with
the ball. ,e-1

messed upon an American grid
iron. He has started we'll, and
the Indians have won every game
they have played.
The "big four'' of eastern
football fear NO team as they
fear Carlisle. It is fore
gone conclusion, when the
Indians get the ball TO an OPP
ponent's 40-yard line, Thorpe
will kick q goal. In the
Harvard game last fall he
booted the ball over the Red
goal four times, winning for
Carlisle. g rs
Thorpe Is a marvel because he
loves the game, puts all of his
characteristic earnestness into 1t
and because his work upon track

Class A League
Means More
Coin

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. o.
The Northwestern league moguls
are today advised that under the
class B rating the salary of the
individual player cannot be under
$500 month, and if they secure
a class A rating, which they are
striving for, they will have TO
pay "bushers" and other players
a monthly remuneration of not
less than $500.
If the orders from the national
commission go through it Is not
figured that the Northwestern
league will have a Portland CLUB
next season.
A vigorous protest is to be
registered against this latest ruiz
ing at the minor leagues meeting
in Milwaukee Tuesday.

and field has fitted him for ex-
traoH1inary exploits in football.
1t is seldom that a man stand
ing over six feet and weighing
100 pounds can run and jump
with the agility of a cat. Thorpe's
great speed, his uncanny lodging
and his weight, combined with
the way he follows interference.
makes him about the hardest
man to stop now playing foot

The strength of the sailors is

Thorpe has not only performed
brilliantly as an offensive and
defensive halfback and field goal
kicker, but he has shown that he
has something above his ears be-
sides hair, by leading the Indian
eleven in brainy fashion this fall.
Thorpe will probably be seen as a
major league pitcher next sum-
mer. Rumor is strong that he
will sign with an American or
National league club, and it is
probable he will be as successful
in the big league as he has been
upon the college diamond, grid

With three changes in the line
up since the game with Everett
last Saturday the Tacoma High
school team meets it's old rival,
Broadway, in the stadium this
afternoon. The changes decided
on by the coach are the shifting
of Horejs to halfback, the substi-

the placing of Brazell at Dee

Both teams are confident.
Broadway will send at least 500
