the season.
Keek . Wonderful Tackle.
Keck of Princeton may be rated at
the head of all tackles of this and
many past seasons. Weighing more
than 200 pounds. strong as bull,
ten-second Splinter, a fine goal and
placement kicker. he was not only

Great pair Of -Guarda.
As with the ends. there is a scarcity
of first-class guards this season. But

guard, great in every sense OF the
word. Mentally a tonic not only to
his line, but to his whole team. ne

would not suffer by comparison with
any guards anywhere since 1915, at
