Seldom has any one forward been so
useful to his team. Keck combines
the strength Of a giant with the speed
of a sprinter. A star in his prep"
days at Mercersberg the big fellow
landed on the Princeton varsity in
1919 weighing 225 and troubled with
weak ankle. He only got in for a
few minutes against Yale. During the
summer Keck worked as a lumber
jack in Michigan When the football
squad reported in September the star
tackle smihngly announced his
weight to the coaches as 2OS.
Prtnceton's line play was built
around Keck. He was the head OF
the Orange and Black battering ram
that opened avenues OF room through
the highly rated Harvard line. Yale
took warning from this and covered"
Keck with two men, but the giant
Tiger refused to be sWbdued and
roamed all over the field making
tackles, sometimes down under kicks
ahead Of his ends.
Late in the third quarter last Sat
| urday Keck's former weak ankle
gave out and he had to be assisted
from the battle scene. Quick repairs
were made by Keene Fitzpatrick and
keck was back at the final period as
! full of fight as ever.
