Gray Of Princeton not only shone

Gulian of Brown was a great tackle

On the other hand, the season has
seen paucity of great ends and none
too many guards and tackles VINO
have lived up to precedents of line
play set by such heroes of the near

At the same time the general
science of line play has not failed to
meet the increased demands of the
modern game of foot ball. Just how
manifold these demands are will be
appreciated when it is considered
how the attack has broadened as
result of opportunities presented by
the forward pass and by other ele-
ments of the new open game which IN
the past did not exist.

Ii FOrty-two Years Old.
"Gibson was born July %. 1880, in
London, Ontario, where he is a highly
respected citizen and owner of several
valuable pieces Of real estate. He
started his professional career In
1903 at Buffalo in the old Eastern
League. Four years earlier he played
semi-professional base ball with the
West London Stars in his home town
and also caught for the team repre-
senting the McClary Manufacturing
Company at London. Then he enlisted
with the Knox team. and during MS
season as catcher with this nine
thirty games were played. Knox win.
London recommended him to George
Stallings, who tried him out In 1904,
but having no need at the time for q
recruit catcher, transferred him to
Montreal in the same circuit.
Barney Dreyfuss bought Gibson
for cash, and he reported to the
Pirates in June Of 1905. He was short
ly regarded as the iron man" of the
Pittsburgh pitching staff. On Sep
tember II. 1907. in a field day contest
at Cincinnati, Gibson won first honors
for accurate throwing.
