Foot ball, more than any other
sport, save possibly professional base
ball. develops men of pronounced
personality around whom a wealth
OF tradition develops. which affords
material for many good story as
the years go on. No one had more
colorful career than Bill Horr. and
his fame has endured.
Horr broke into foot ball at the
Colgate Academy. which is under the
same administration as the seat of
higher learning at Hamilton, y. Y.
He entered Syracuse in 1905. was
captain of the 1908 eleven and in all
his four years of varsity foot ball
His position was right tackle and 2
part of his duties was running with
the ball.
Tried to Down Him.
Those who played against Horr or
saw him play, will recall vividly the
spectacle of this great 200-pounder
speeding off tackle or around the
ends like a runaway locomotive. One
rainy afternoon Syracuse played the
Carlisle Indians at Syracuse, and a
group of redskins decided evidently
the only way to stop Bill game was to
drown him. So after tackle they
sat upon his head. his face buried
in a puddle of water. Bill always
sessed such, great drinking ca
pacity. he would have perished.
Horr's ohe fault was his good
nature Teammates always schemed
to get him fighting mad in a game,
but often they failed in their designs.
One afternoon though. the Orange
team was playing Lafayette at
Easton At the beginning of the
second half, when Horr was crouch =
ing for the charge, some one hit
him an awful wallop on the ear.
When the big man recovered from
the dazing effects of the blow he
asked a teammate who had struck
him. The player pointed to Dowd,
captain of the Lafayette eleven. What
happened to Dowd subsequently is
told with bated breath at Lafayette
to this day.
After the game Horr learned that
Dowd had not hit him at all, Nat
a teammate had been instructed R
Buck O'Neill. the Syracuse coach, to
sock him and thus make. him mad.
Horr could throw the ball. too. In
a game against Yale in 1908 he threw
q fifty-flve-yard pass that landed the
ball on Yales one-yard line, where
in the next play it was lost on a
tumble. Bill proved as fine a coach
as he was a player. Now his retire
ment from active coaching shows
what he has been doing in the world.

The star batter may be slow on his

this year which has kept him out of

Should the st. Louis club let Horns

1t would let the player out to the
highest bidder, there would be such
roar as hasn't been heard. The rules
prevent that for the moment, but not
for another year. If any other team

might not. Perhaps he would stick

1t doesn't look a bit as If Hornsby

MAPS the rumors that rise above st.

is having the same luck as other
cities which have exploited one star

scribed by the staff of Beth lsrael
Hospital.
The operation was performed Feb
ruary 81. The patient has recovered
sufficiently TO return to his home.
More than a year ago Brown was
forced to leave his furniture shop
when his right side became paralyzed.
lie complained of severe headaches
and sometimes was seized with cpl
leptic fits. Then his memory failed
him and he fell into a semt-stupCT.
Finally he was taken to Beth Israel
Hospital for an operation. Because OF
his weakened condition, it was de-
cided that he could not stand Il gen
cral aueSthetic.
During the period of lucidity Brown
agreed To submit. under local aneS-
thcSia, to u two-hour operation. lie
was told to tell the surgeons when
ever he felt the anesthesia wearing
off and was warned that an uneX-
perted movement on his part would
mean his end.
Dr. X. WinktieId May performed the
operation, pauSing only when the pa
titnt asked for more anesthetic. The
skull was trephned. the brain cover
ing removed and Il tumor two by four
inches and three quarters of an inch
thick was revealed.
Brown said the first result he no.
ticed after the removal of the tumor
was cessation of the headaches Then
he regained his memory gradually.
Finally his paralysis disappeared, and
now he can move about freely.
