 Adee Football Player. b the mind of the average follower l port there is a wide gulf between pail and tennis, yet number of l ay collegians spend their spring Rummer in welding a racquet and | themselves fit in the fall for huous season of varsity gridiron E. This is no new angle to the game for twenty years ago the lge athlete was mixing football |fennis but not to the extent that i |a1ls today. Robert D. Wrenn. ] retiring president of the National !, n Tennis association, and George 1
 dee, who is slated to succeed ]
 were rival quarterbacks in the ! bus Yale-Harvard game at Spring
 in 1894. Wrenn gave the sig
 for Harvard while Adee acted |eld general for Yale and made !
 All-American eleven of that year. Pteran football enthusiasts will 1
 r forget that game. Yale won, l 4, but only after a battle which i
 more like modern warfare than i ball. Players were carried off :, |gridiron in relays and the side 1 resembled a field hospital. As
 sult of the conflict the two uni lties decided that they had enough i pail to last for several years and { yard and Yale did not meet on 1 gridiron again until 1897.
