IS COLLEGE FOOTBALL
PLAYER MORE effective
Than A PROFESSIONAL

Opposed to him, as the kicker
for the Akron team, was Frank
Nesser, one of the famous Nesser
brothers of Columbus, whose edu-
cation was obtained in the ma
chine shops of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Columbus and whose
football career was confined main
ly to games with the Columbus
Panhandles, an uncoached team
which usually went on the field
without a practice session.
During the time Brickley OPP
posed Nesser, the sand lotter out
punted the great eastern star and
won the game for Akron by a
drop kick from the 43-yard line,
the only score of the game.
This is not written to prove
professional football players are
better than the well coached col
lege stars. 1t Is merely a state
ment of what two men did.

Bennett, Raiston and Donnelly,
in this very funny play, comprise
a stock brokerage firm, in which
some tail business prevarication
by Ralston, the senior partner,
leads to the wager. Bennett being
engaged to Ralston's daughter, the
latter entrusts him with the in
vestment, for immediate 100 per
cent profit of $4,000 which she
holds as a charity fund. This
money Bennett risks on his ability
to tell the truth. He wins, of
course, but the things that happen
in the course of the "a hours make
farce that is exceedingly funny

AND NOW, A FINE SOUL CON-
PLETELY DEVELOPED
We dined with Mr.. and Mrs.
Arch Martin and will enember
for a long time the toothsome and
beautiful spread, perfect beans,
the sweetest spring chicken and
home-cured ham, and the freshest
vegetables of 1878 vintage dain-
tily prepared for the table. There
were jellies, cakes, apple pies and
many other things, not the least
of which was honey from A. l.
Eubank's bee garden. Some peo-
pie boast OF various accomplish
ments of music and literature, but
this dinner was finer than an ora
torio, a picture of still life or an
epic, and until one can appreciate
such a dinner they are not quail
fled to estimate any of the other
things named. Fine souls cannot
secure complete development ex-
cept in fine bodies, and they can
not be fine unless properly fed and

Max Figman Comedy Based

From all accounts this play is
one of the best farces of recent

Helen Hildreth, champion

talking.
II don't advise all women to

continued. Boxing lis perhaps
too strenuous for most women. 1t

Tales Of baseball players gradu-
ating from the sand lots and be-
coming stars on major league
teams are common enough to at
tract very little attention but
when a football star pushes his
way above the level of mediocrity
without the assistance Of highly
efficient coaches, trainers and the
other essentials to a college foot
ball team it's novelty is striking.
A few days ago a football game
was played between the profess
sional teams of Masillon and
Akron, o., members of the Ohio
Professional Football League.
On the Massillon team appeared
the famous Charley Brickley, one
of the greatest backs ever pro-
duced at Harvard and probably
the greatest punter and drop
kicker of the decade.
