The Top Pick

COLONEL DAMON RUNYON day or
" two ago had US listed as backing Willie
Heston for footballs leading sprig OF
laurel
We pick Willie as footballs greatest
ground gaining, offensive hackiield man.
But for all around football supremacy
for the SCeptcr-wiclder in the Throne
Room Of the game, We string with William
j.. Hanna and cast our vote for JIM
Thorpe
Thorpe was only faint shade back of
Hcston as n ground gaining back. In ad-
dition TO his great rushing ability. he was
also fine punter. a keen place kicker, a
tirst-class drop kicker, defensive star,
and all the baly rest of IT.
Thorpe could do more things in football
well than any man We ever saw. lie
could crash into line, and he was as
elusive in broken field as a startled deer.
He was also an adept at either wing OF
the forward passing game
There were far more angles TO football
in Thorpe's day than there were in Hes
toms.
In the days when the Wolverine mon.
arch ruled there were few Of the intricate
details which fall to the lot of the modern
back In those day, Heston was the king.
lie could pick up speed faster than any
halfback in history, having beaten Archie
Hahn frequently in a i0-yard dash lie
started like a fash and he struck a line
with the smash Of Il 16-inch shell. But he
lacked Thorpc's amazing versatility, and
so for all around worth the Indian gets
the call
