Rockies, Battling Nelson admitted
that he never would have had the
nerve to go into the ring with his
cauterized flesh still paining him.
But he did go in. and he fought
gamely as of old.
AS an inspirer, Fay King Nelson

life would be as gloomy as knock

saving his money so that when the
end comes, he should worry.
Nelson isn't all bound up in his
wife to the exclusion of everybody
else. His attention isn't wholly di-
verified to her. He has a mother
out in Hegewisch, ILL.,. whom he
looks out for, and he Is financing
the way of his younger brother

ly qualities for one of the end posi-.

AS his running mate, Neil Snow,
of Michigan, is, in my opinion. the
best choice. Snow weighed over

all-round athletes any American
college ever turned out. He vas

Dewitt and Cults Tackles.
For the tackles, Dewitt, Of
Princeton, and Cults, Of Harvard
loom up as the best. Dewitt stood
feet in height, weighed over 200

was also fast and aggressive. Cuts
also stood feet and weighed over

HeffeIflneer, of Course.

Hare, of Pennsylvania. is the 9TH

tall, and was probably as fast a
man of his size that ever played
the position.
Schultz, of Michigan is the great
est center that ever played He Is
feet 4 inches tall and weighed
about 230 in condition. He was
always a very accurate passer and
was exceptionally good in opening
up great holes on the offense.
Heston a Wonder.
Willie Heston, of Michigan, and
King" Kelly. of Princeton, are my
choice for the halfback positions
Heston was the greatest of them
all. He was over $50 pounds in
weight, Of stocky build, quick as
flash and of wonderful endurance.
He was possessed of indomitabe
courage and was the best ground
gamer that ever lived. He scored
over 500 points for Michigan While
on the football team.
King" Kelly was leader OF the
