FOOTBALL STARS NOW
AMONG THE RED LEGS

Included in the roster of the Gin
Cinnati club are four men who made
themselves famous as football play
ers before their entrance into profess
sional baseball. They are Christy
Mathewson, Jim Thorpe, Earle Neale,
and Bill Kopf.
While a student at BuCknell some
years ago. Matty was better known
as football player than as a pitch
er. He was a great line plunger and
a wonderful drop kicker and once en-
abled his team to triumph over the
Navy with a field goal in the last few
minutes of play.
Thorpe, of course, was one of the
greatest. II not the greatest. football
players that ever lived. Neale was
a gridiron star with the West Nir-
ginia University three or four years
ago and earned the sobriquet OF
GREASY" by his ability to thread his
way down the field like a creased
pig" Kopf played on the Fordham
eleven a few years ago, and made
quite a name for himself.

 Candidate Toland, whose handsome mug is shown, is a modest young pluto- crat who has written a very interesting book of his experiences at the western front in the early months of the great war.
 When the war broke out Edward Dale Poland, amateur banker French schol- ar and Princeton graduate, decided that business was going to come a cropper. Upon that momentous decision he fur ther decided to hie himself to France where he hoped to give Marshal Jof- ire the fonce over," and incidentally drop valuable hint or two on the most efficient method of eradicating the pesky Bcches. To get atmosphere on the way to France MT. Poland decided to so steerage. He wanted to study the pro- letariat at first hand. In the banking business and at Princeton he had mere ly been taught a theoretical knowledge of the common herd. In the steerage MT. Toland found them quite common but interesting.
 Arrived in France Mr Toland joined with a great many other young American college men the Morgan-Haries hospital unit and ambulance corps. There for six months he cared for the wounded and
