drank too much prior to a game

The reporter had met several
friends on the morning of the
game and when he reached the

goal posts were running. For
tunately for him he drew a seat
next to Mike Tobin, the inimitable
critic and sage of the Illini.

porter would ask, "Who made

Talk about doping! I'm going
to claim a record. / knew that
Bob Hogsett, captain Of Dart
mouths football team, would
make the All-American team be-
fore he was born. Yes, a year
before anyone knew there was
going to be a Bob Hogsett, which
was % years before his crashing
attacks and desperate diving
tackles made him the unanimous
choice for end on the All-Ameri-
can team, / knew that If ever
there was a Bob Hogsett there
never would be a chance that
Walter Camp would overlook him.
Why? Well, you never knew
his uncle Jim, did you? That's
why.
Jim is brother Of Hamer
Hogsett talthough they call him
Thomas In 'Cleveland), who is
Robert N. Hogsett's father. Jim
lived on the old farm, down on
Rocky Fork, some four miles from
.Hillsboro, o. He was about 6
feet 2, weighed more than he
looked to weigh, and wore strong
lensed glasses.
We we're organizing the first
football team Hillsboro ever had.
We had IL town boys and were
practicing faithfully. What we
needed was a scrub team. One
day we lined up just as Jim
Hogsett came strolling along
carrying a sack of corn or some
thing and we yelled to him to
come and play with the scrubs.
The grounds were somewhat
limited-so much so that one
goal was only about six feet in
front of the high board fence.
The regular team worked few
trick plays, then lost the ball on
a tumble. A little fellow named
Harry Parker was playing quar-
ter for the scrubs. He didn't have
much football knowledge, but he
knew Jim. He whispered few
words in Jim's ear, then passed
the ball. and the uncle of the
future All-American hero started.
Several of us interrupted him
slightly as he came, but he con-
tinued toward the goal. Half
way down the field he shook him
self like a Newfoundland comisS

though he wasn't released from

He intimated today that he
would like to play with Frank
