The football mans record in the war
has been widely celebrated. 1t will not
be resummarized here. The writer of
this article has tried to learn the
whereabouts Of the giants of an older
gridiron day. In numerous cases he
has succeeded. In numerous other
rases, and cases to boot of men whose
names adorn milestones of intercol-
legiate football annals, he has failed.

which are compiled by academicians,
win tell you almost invariably where
an alumnus lives, and whether he was

But on the really important details OF
his youth they are strangely silent
nothing about the position he played
on the varsity eleven. little IL anything
about what he has done for a living
since. The only way to round up such
information is to catch some football
graduate in a reminiscent mood and
piece out his "reminiscences as best
you can.

mentary survey of the high spots, with
many a high spot left out altogether.
