The death, Of Tom Shevlin Of Min.
,nesota, former Yale football star and
coach, has started discussion as. to
why great football players die young.
Besides shevlin, three other Yale
stars died when apparently on the
threshold OF business careers that
promised to be as brilliant as their
gridiron records.
The other three were stillman, Ho'
gan and Brown. All won letters
since 1900. ..,s,.a4 III
These four great. linemen played
game after game without injury.
Brown. and Hogan played guard and
tackle positions, Sheylin was an end
and Stillman tackle. All made the
All-Ameriean teams two or more sea
sons.
one explanation offered regarding
their deaths Is that in their careers
on the grldiron, which included Sc
we're training seasons as well us
gruelling games, they used up 80
much energy they had little left to
fight ailments off later.
Another explanation offered Is that
their grueiling athletic activities ov.
ertaxed their hearts and LETT them
susceptible to breakdown.
A third argument is made that the
players .overexerted themselves while
In college. then, when they settled
down to business lives, relaxed, gave
up exercise almost entirely and suf-
fersd a loss OF stamina. ii
Other stars or other colleges have
died at early. ages, but the cases OF
Shey1in, Brown, Hogan and stillman
stand out most prominently because
all starred ut the same school and
