hide from the legs with the thumb and
fingers. The tail should be split down
two inches and the bone pulled out.
The hide is then drawn down until the
forelegs are reached, where the knife
is used to cut around the feet. More
pulling and the pelt is worked down
to the ears and then the eyes. Cut
close to the skull so ear and eye holes
will be as small as possible. When

First Eleven

or go through and receive it. and they
are strong enough OF their feet not to
be bumped or unsteaGied in this part
of the play.
All Aces Of Game
In regard to the stars on the first
team roster:
Taylor Of the Navy shone all
through the season, but particularly III
the Penn State and Army games. His
catching of passes is uncanny, and his
driving in of plays sent in his direc-
ton is strikingly good.
Treat of Princeton is of that rangy,
powerful type essential in the modern
game. But he is also particularly
strong in diagnosing the play quickly
and in never being drawn too far out
of position.
Schwab of Lafayette was. as of old,
the same exceptional combination OF
power and speed. He is a guard who
is never anchored. and one of the clev-
crest linemen in the country in draw
ing his opponents out of position an1
in deceiving them as to the point OF
attack.
Garbisch of West Point is an ideal
center in a field of good men, and tho
added asset of his drop-kicking is the
factor in his finally supplanting all
others; that marvellous 45-yard kick
partly across the wind and at diff:
cult angle in the Navy game, made the
three points that eventually, as things
turned out, settled the Army-Navy
contest.

BRAVE: MAIDEN SAVES
SPANISH FROM FRENCH

In the year 1903, when the French
beseiged that Spanish city, there lived
in Saragossa little girl who became
known as 1.-THE Maid of Saragossa,' .
says the Detroit News. Her name
was Agostina. Although but Is years
old, Agostina performed one of the
bravest deeds known in Spanish his
tory. The Saragossa patriots fought
with untiring zeal and held the enemy
back for about two months. Then
they quit fighting, the situation looked
SO hopeless.
One day there came from the
church at Nostra Donna Del Phillas
an unknown girl, with a crucifiX in
her hand. She walked with firm
tread down the streets of Saragossa
toward the ramparts, into the very
face of the enemy. Mounting the
breach, the girl seized a match from
dying engineer. She fired the can
non which had failed to fire because
of his weakened condition. Then kiss
ing the cross, Agostina cried, Death
or victory" and reloaded the cannon.

Charlie White Wins Battle
Against All LawS of Nature

myself to build up a broken body
that's what did it.
when the doctors condemned me
to an earlhgrave, and abandoned my
case, | realized that whatever fight
was to be made for my life had to BE-
made by me alone. The family funds
were insufficient to send me away to
a drier climate / had to continue to
live in Chicago and fight it out there
with old kid Death AS the enemy"
Whites first move was to stay in the
open air as much as possible. Twice
a day-morning and night-he would
indulge in walks as fast as his en-
feebled condition would permit. AS
he improved, he started to do a little
running, increasing his speed and the
distance as he grew bit stronger.
when / had saved up enough
money to pay for membership in a
gymnasium, | joined one" recounted
White. Il didn't go in for the rough
and tough things at first-because
wasn't able TO. / worked the pulleys,
exercised with dumb-hells, skipped the
rops and did some shadow boxing L
was mighty firing a. first and there
were times when I'd go home all
worn out and somewhat worried as to
whether or not the exercising wasn't
too strenuous for me. But l stuck
to it,"
Rapid Progress
Within two years after the day that
the doctors had said that Charlie could
not live more than two years, the.
youngster donned the boxing gloves
in the gymnasium snd began to in
dulge in short tits with the boys
there. They went very easy with him
at ffrst-and White, of necessity, went
along slowly.
At the age of 15-and four years af
ter White had been regarded as doom
ed by the medical rofession-Charlie
White made his debut in the prize
ring. His entry was influenced by
advice of the boys in the gymnasium
who predicted great things for-him
about the last thought of my life
in kid days was that of becoming a
boxer" said White. Even when
started in the gymnasium / had no
idea Of becoming a boxer. All | was
doing then was making the fight for
my life. What effort | put into the
gymnasium boxing was put there to
help me build up-not with the idea of
developing as a boxer.
''But the boys thought I was good
and getting better with the gloves al
the time. They insisted that I take
try at things with professionals
did-and won. l won the next fight
l won the next. Eacn new fight l had
/ seemed to improve. The rest of my
ring history is written in the record

Every first-class football team, a

every man on it has proved himself in
contests this year not only able to play
his own position but TO diagnose situa-

2. Power-the actual thrust of this
team, line and backs, would be so pow
erful as to steadily wear down any
defense that was presented to them,
and by sheer force. drive the oppon-
nets into submission.
3. Spirit-a fiery, dashing, over

thing go. Each man CT the eleven has
this kind of spirit developed to the
highest degree and each man has dem

Those who like to crate upon the
power of mind over matter, and upon
what seeming miracles can be per-
formed by the man who believes in
himself, SCOTS at Encouragement and
makes unceasing. super-human en-
deavors to accomplish a certain end,
can find no better example than the
life story of Charlie White, the Chi
cago lightweight.
White is a living, breathing defiance
of the laws of nature; he is the man
who refused to acknowledge the rul-
ings of nature in mis- earlier years,
fought against its whims and its die
tates-and cverthrew nature in the
end so that he might rise to glorious
heights in the world of athletics.
Nature never intended that White
should be any sort of athlete-and
least of all ring gladiator. 1t gave
him a weak body, a heart that func-
toned poorly lungs that were diseas
ed and a reduced supply of blood. It
handicapped him in mis- babyhood and
his boyhood as few youngsters ever
have been handicapped. And when he
was II or II years old, the medical
fraternity bowed to what it construed
to be the immutable law of nature ana
said:
Makes Dismal Prediction
THE boy is suffering from tubercu-
losis-he cannot live more than a year
or two at the most. Nothing can be
done for him except to prolong the
end slightly by sending him to some
climate other than Chicago"
And yet here, 20 years later, is the
same Charlie White, standing forth
as one of the greatest if not the
greatest in his division. Here is
White, once the weakling with, II

How does it happen that con-

then, soaring beyind that heights of
accomplishment, has endured in ring
