Many Were Linemen
Strange as it may seem, not one Of
the above names appears in the
games history, book, in which are
kept the records of runs, of drop and
place kicks and other details Of the
spectacular and the unusual Possibly
this is because too many of them were
linemen in their playing days. Pos
sibly it is because some Of them play
ed so far back in the history of the
game that authentic data is not avail
able. But these same record hooks
contain the names of Blanchard of
Harvard, 1875; Thompson, Yale, 1875;
Gushing, Harvard, 1871; Holmes, Har-
ward, 1877; Lee, Pennsylvania, 1878;
A. Fl. Cults, Princeton, 1878; McNair,
Princeton, 1879; and the comparative
ly modern Bull Of Yale in 1888. From
these names and dates the records
verge towards modernity with the
acts of the C'Deas, Herschbergers,
Potters, Vandoozers, Poes, Shevlins,
Camps, DeWitts, Knipes, Ames, Hares,
W0odruffs, Thorpes, Marshalls, Hink-
eys, Phil Kings, Hestons, Weeks, Eek
ersalls, Stanford Whites, Brickleys,
Mahans,. and Bradens whose acts
have brought the occupants OF many
football stands to their feet with
some piece of accuracy strategy and
daring. ~
Nowhere in this list of the "great
departed is found one of the names
of head coach Of the big Ten al
though their playing days were scat
tered through the years between the
beginning of the game and decade
ago. Possibly the qualities which
made them great coaches, observers
of the game, are not the ones that
seize thS psychological moment to APP
pear in the limelight. t
One New Conner /. 81 s&
Only one new conner appears in the
list, w. w. Dietz, coach elect at
Purdue. Lone STAR iDietz is the
only original" American in the pres
ent list. He is the. first Indian ever to
head a team of the big Ten 1t is
remembered in this statement that
"Bill'' Juneau of family proud of
the distant blood of patrician red
men, was once head coach at Wiscon-
sin. Dietz is a more recent player at
Carlisle and in the seven or eight
years since he left the Pennsylvania
school, he has had valuable expert
ence as a coach. He will be one Of
three Indians at the head Of represen-
tative teams this year, the others be-
ing A. A. Exedine, coach at George
town JJniyerSitv WASHINGTON n e.
and G. A. Welch, coach of Washington
State College, Pullman, Wash.
Elmer McDevitt, coach at North
