He was once heard to say that 10
far as physical and nervous etrain
was concerned he would rather PLAY
through both halves of the Harvard
Yale football game any day than play
through the five sets of the national

His peculiar Enee action, cultivated to

well. His knees like piston rods ROSE
almost to his chin. and yet in his foot

Walter Eckersall, Chicagos great

his drop kicks, but more than once
piled up a considerable score by that
means alone. After leaving the uni
versity he entered the newspaper bssi-
