what sort Of a football team Is to
represent Hammond this season in the
professional field?
Just ask DR.. A. A. Young, who OF
all men has probably done more than
any other to keep the city's name high
on the list as the rallying place OF the
country's greatest football stars.
Stop right now and consider a cor
stellation like this: Clio, Moran. Sond-
quist. Brunswick. Selliger, Cole ard
Meyers. Pigskin fans who have been
following the game will blink. Then
slip in such familiar names as these:
Skinner, Kelley. Greggs. Johnson and
Talbot. That's enough for one time.
There are still about half a dozen
more.
Think Of all these men playing on
one team. It's q fact. They will wear
the Hammond colors through the first
season Of the new American Profess
sional Football Association. These
prima donnas or the moleskins Will
carry the name Of Hammond to Ak
ron. Dayton. Cleveland and Canton.
Ohio. TO Buffalo and Rochester. y. Y,
Racine. Wis. Rock Island, H., Detroit.
Mich. and Pittsburgh. Pa.
Quietly. for nearly a year. Doc
Young has been working on this
galaxy of stars Now he has them
rounded UP and he's ready for the sea
son. Right now the team looks even
stronger than last years crack aggre-
cation. 1t is believed the line viii he
heavier than any team in the country
These seven men weigh over three
quarters Of ton and it is all hardened
muscle.
not have followed the game closely a
few of the players might be mentioned
briefly. There is Red" Kelley who
plays an end position Kelley is a
former Wisconsin man and made the
All-Western team in 1916. He Is s
feet inches in his socks. weighs IN
proportion and IS considered one OF
the best men who ever played college
football Then take c. E Johnson
who played end on the Northwestern
team in 1917. He's a good mate for
Kelley. Moran tops them all with his
feet inches OF stature and 2S5
pounds Of heft He is only twenty
FIVE years old and has 81 inch chest.
Wait till that boy gets his growth.
Moran naturally plays center but mes
speedy as a lightweight having made
records in track events.
Jack Greggs IS another buster lie
is heavyweight wrestler. a crack ath-
lete and professional football star.
Brunswick halls from the University
Of Colorado and was the star backheld
man on the famous Camp Dodge team.
Clio. well known in Hammond. is the
man who attracted so much attention
as fullback for Colgate last year. The
eastern newspapers conceded him
berth on the All-Eastern team.
Sondquist Is a University Of Pitts
burgh man; Talbert comes from the
University Of North Dakota where he
gamboled in the backfeld. Alspecl, a
backfelder. has been in professional
circles for several years. and Skinner
Is a Purdue product.
Gelliger Meyers and Cole need no
Introduction for they are hangovers
from last years Hammond squad.
The majority of these men have
quietly moved TO Hammond since the
close of last Sc ason and are now liv-
ing here so as to be ready for the
opening Of the grid season. Practice
has been going on for some time aud
they will easily be in shane for he
first game at Rock Island.
