FRANK S0MMER INSISTS
BLACKL0cK NOT INDIAN

Hugh Blackjack. the big tackle
from Michigan Agricultural School.
whose playing against the MIddies
last Saturday was a treat for the
large crowd present, has been de-
scribed as an Indian. He has all the
ear-marks OF being an aboriEine, too.
but up steps Frank Sommer, the old
Pennsylvania player who coached the
Aggies several years ago when
Blackjack was on the squad, insists
he is not an Indian. Sommer does
not say what he is, but does say he
is not an Indian.
Blackjack has been playing foot
ball in the Middle West for five or
six years. He was playing profess
sional football last season. Being on
a service eleven. he was eligible TO
play this year. just as was the case
with Paddy DriscoIl, who started
the season with the Chicago Cubs in
the National League last spring.
Great Lakes big tackle weighs
about 100 pounds, is a six-footer and
can travel like a streak. He PLAYED
wonderful football at Annapolis and
then had the good fortune to kick
the goal from touchdown that gave
his team its victory.

TOM DAVIES SEEMS BEST
OF SEASONS NEWCOMERS

The individual star OF the Pitts
burgh-Georgia Tech game was Tom
Davies, a freshman. He was the
mainstay of the Kiski high school
eleven last year and was supposed
TO be headed for Washington and
Jefferson. But he switched some
how, entered Pitt and, under the
coaching of Glenn Warner, has risen
to great heights in his first season
OF varsity football.
Davies excelled as a broken field
runner. Once he caught a punt at
midfield and threaded his way over
the goal line. Later he caught an
other punt on his own 40-yard line
and raced the sixty yards through
Tech for another touchdown.
1nasmuch as Davies played equally
well against Pennsylvania, the critics
are giving him the seasons honors
for newcomer:
