LONG SPORT RIVALS
May Oppose Each Other in
Tiger-Bulldog Football
Game This Fall.
BOTH ARE PIVOT MEN
Tim Went From Andover to
Yale and Mike From Exeter
to Princeton.
BOTH ARE PIVOT MEN

Tim, rivals in sports for years. is a story
in connection with the Yale-Princeton
football game this fall. The Callahan
must set aside all family feeling when
they wear the Tiger stripes and Yale
blue against each other on the gridiron
this fall.
The fact that they represent rival
teams. Tim" John Timothy, for Ell
and Mike" Henry Augustine, for the
Tigers. is a rare coincidence, and, bet
ter still. they will play opposite each
other, as one will be Yale's centre, while
the other will play the pivotal position
for Princeton.
Since boyhood these brothers selected
different roads to fame. When in knick-
erbockers they took in the annual con-
tests between Andoyer and Exeter. Mike,
favoring Exeter, sat on the Exeter side,
and Tim. roofing for Andover. sat under
the blue colors, and even at this time
they had set their minds on Princeton
and Yale respectively after their hearts
desire would be fulfilled at the academies
Tim, the older by two years, also Is the
heavier. Weighing 215 pounds against
Mikes $50. And both are about ave
feet ten inches tall.
Tim, the present Eli captain, started
to play the game In 1911 at Lawrence
High as a guard, and was shifted TO
tackle the following season, having been
picked as all-Merrimac Valley scholastic
player both seasons In those years
Lawrence lost only two games. and in
1912 played Maiden High to to s
tie, when Maiden was acknowledged
State champion after having defeated
George Brickley's Everett High team. 81
to 20. with Fido Kempton's aid
Tim Goes to Andover.
Andover was fortunate to have Tim
enroll In 1918, and Coach Lillard soon |
found a steady berth for him at centre, |
position from which he has not |
changed since, Against Exeter that |
year Tim startled the stands with his !
pluck, breaking a bone in his ankle |
during the first two minutes Of play and |
continuing to the finish without a mur-
muir, although he spent a month In the |
Andover Infirmary for his deed.
He was chosen captain Of the blue |
tho next year at the age OF II years. |
being the youngest man ever to be |
elected to an Andover football captaincy. |
In 1915 Tim wandered down to New |
Haven and made the yearling team. |
later joining the ineligibles when the |
freshman season was over The ineligi- |
bles then had such men as Harry Lee
patrick. Braden and others, and invaria-
bly, trimmed the varsity. much to the |
disgust of the late Tom Shevln, who |
picked up the ropes at Yale that fall. It
win be recalled that the ineligibles the |
Wednesday previous to the Harvard |
game trounced the varsity in half an
hour.
Makes Yale Varsity.
The following year. along with the
elaborate preparations made to develop
winner at Yale, Tad Jones, the sue
cessful Exeter coach, took charge at
New Haven and quickly determined the
possibilities OF Callahan.
1t was new epoch at Yale with
Jones at the helm, assisted by Doc
Brides as line coach, DIR. Bull as back
field coach. Alcott. end coach. and
Mike Sweeney. the former Hill school
trainer, as caretaker of the men. Though
Yale had not won from Harvard in
seven years. this combination In It's first /
attempt turned out a winner.
Cailshar YVES cut for ten weeks with
Q bad ankle. but returned for the Brown
game. when he starred in making more
than half Of the tackles A week later
Princeton was met II was an even
thing. Tibbott. Princeton'S great drop
kicker. was rushed In TO boot one over.
Mosley blocked his first attempt, but
Princeton recovered.
Callahan blocked the next attempt
and thus paved the way for 10 to
Eli victory. In the Harvard game tina,
year Yale's 6 to victory was due
principally TO the fact that the Eli line
yielced to only two first downs during
the game.
At the outbreak OF the war Tim
