have found another Bullet"
- Wendell. That is. they are re-
ported to have dug up a backfield
man that can rip up an opposing line
like the old Harvard fUllback.
Beginning some twelve months ago,
the marvellous Charlie Brickley reeled
off a series of gridiron performances
OF such caliber that many may have
misplaced this Wendell party. and
some may therefore arise to ask.
who was Wendell, and what did he
do"
Just say in reply that he was about
the nearest thing to Ted Coy, when it
came to tearing into an enemy's for
ward defense. that has happened East
since Teddy quit the game
It's Bradley STREET.
But TO get back to the alleged sec
Ond Wendell The Tigers are laying
claim to a man who can tear 'em up
as effectively as could Wendell, and
what is more, when thrust into an
open field can meander down the
green rather effectively They call
/ him Streit-"Brad" STREET.. Do you
get that?
Yes, he is none other than Bradley
STREET, brother of Big Bill, former Au-
burn star, and native of the great
Commonwealth that has served to lift
the Honorable Oscar Underwood high
before the public gaze
STREET has been at Princeton almost
/ long enough for his attendance to APP
pear habitual at this writing. That
/ is he is now rushing along through
his third year. He aided the football
fortunes OF old Auburn last in 1910
and entered Princeton the following
year. The year rule was wheeled
into action against his records, and
his chances for the Princeton team
! that season We're nil.
Eligible Last Year.
Having done his apprentice task
Bradley was eligible for the team last
year, but consider his chances, when
It IS 81 ated that he must beat out
such combination as Dewitt, Waller
and "HObey" Baker to land perma
nent job Waller was a veteran, Ba-
ller a star of every game in which he
participated, and Dewitt, a brother OF
the famous John Dewitt
There is a kind of legend in the vi
cinity OF Nassau that the name OF
Poe is famous not so much because
Of the enduring literary efforts of Ed
gar Allan as of certain other branch
Of the family. the records of whose
athletic prowess is literally smeared
over the records of Princeton football
annals. 1t also is Legendary that any
man by the name of Dewitt must be
2 football player OF value. Or, at
least. that the odds are in his favor
and that the burden Of proof rests
with any competing candidate for a
position on the varsity.
Didn't Make 1t Then.
Well b STREET set out Valiantly last
season to shoulder this burden. He
succeeded TO the extent Of getting
into several games, but the predomi %
nance Of evidence overweighed him.
and he never anchored in a safe posi-
ton as regular.
But this year things are different.
No right of ancestral priority appears
TO stand in his way, and likewise his
performances to date would Indicate
that no opposing football line has i'm
peded his progress TO any material
extent. He was the star Of the game
last Saturday against BucknelI, scOr-
ing two of the four touchdowns. He
has shown to advantage in every
game so far.
He has the heft, weighing about 1o5
in his birthday raiment, and he is
speedy for a big man Furthermore,
he has plenty Of experience. having
been playing college football for some
five or six years. He is one of con-
siderable string Of line plungers de-
veIoped by Professor" Mike Dono-
hue at Auburn. When playing in
Dixie. he looked and acted the part
of a regular football player, and this
season Eastern critics don't seem in
clined to revise the estimate.
In short. they are calling him a
! second Bullet" Wendell That Of it
/ self is some considerable description.
