FAKE STAHL is also a football play

the pennant winners. It was back in
his college days at Illinois university
that the man who will direct the play
of the Boston club next week distin-
guished himself with the oval pill.
the collegiate game as It was in his
baseball days when he Swatted out
homeruns and threeSackerS galore.
Stahl is big, a grand requirement for
football. He is nervy, heady and
speedy, a trio of virtues which are car
dinal in the game Walter Camp has
fathered. Jake shone in the days when
the line plungtng, line buck1ng tactics
were still in force and before the ad-

hurdle racing feat which was mostly

bend his broad and humble back, Jacob
would take a running start and mount
to the patient lineman's back, lunge
forward and over he would go with a
gain of several yards TO the credit OF
higher education and his alma mater
Jake's name in the lineup OF the
Illinois eleven meant q lot or SoreheadS
on the opposing team and an equal
number of sore backs on his own team,
for Stahl was no respecter OF persons
of personal property. JAKE also
learned his baseball A, B, Cs at Illinois
and he graduated from the more or
less liberal arts department and into
the big league baseball class all in one
commencement day. That was several
years ago and Jake has married and Is
a staid old sportsman now, but his IA

green in the minds Of some of the OPP
