RELATIONS SEVERED
Holy Gross and Springfield College
 Meet No Longer on Grilirun

A griiiron rivalry which had its inception 20 years ago and which has been ono of the Eernest in the i5 games that have been played during that stretch Of years has been per- manntly broken off with the report that Springfield College and Holy Cross have played their last game Of football as opposing teams. The sey- eranCc Of relations between these two institutions Is not confined only 10 football, for the Red and White and Purple will play no more baseball and basketball games.
 The chief reason for tho breaks in football and baseball is that Spring field Is no longer considered worth while opponent for Holy Cross teams because Of the marked superiority of Purple football and ha scball teams in tho past few years.

Newest Indian Star Said To Be
 Even Greater Than Jim Thorpe

Lawrence. Kan.. Nov. 26.--Normai- ly when 1t is written that a player is a second Jim Thorpe" praise of the highest sort has been given. The lily has been gilded. another hue added to the rainbow.
 Comes now word that a player greater than Jim Thorpe" has been developed. The super-great is John Levi, star and captain of the Has, kell Indians of this city, team that has made an enviable record on the gridiron this fall.
 No less an authority than Coach spaulding of Minnesota describes Levi as the greatest football player of all time, a player who is greater than Thorpe"
 spaulding saw Levi play against a IS to 12 victory for Minnesota. Thorpe was good" continued spauld- ing, but Levi is greater"
 In the Minnesota game Levi ran S5 yards through the whole Minnesota team to score a touchdown. The h. dian Is feet tail and we'll propor- tioned. He weighs 200 pounds almost to the ounce. This Is his second year as captain of the Haskell varsity.
 As fullback Levi has the driving power of a Cou. In the open field he is a streak. He holds record in 1 5 fiat in the high hurdles. That shows his speed. He is great forward passer. His longest pass in game was 63 yards against the Kansas Normals at Emporia last year, Levi is an ali-round athlete and has earned his letter in all major sports.

Fails to Score Scant
 Point in Seven Losses

Much has been said ancnt the SCOT ing records compiled by various col lcgc teams this season. But there are at least two aggregations how ever, that hung up notable feats, without coming in for any publicity.
 One of these is the City College eleven Of New York. the other Villa nova. In the first seven games played by these two teama. they. failed to score single victory. The opposi- ton scored l25 points against New York City College and 172 against Nillanova.
 Even more unusual than the fact that all seven games resulted in de- feats was the failure Of either team to score single point These two records are unique in the annals of football.

Hope to Break High Jump Record

the other boys in the county. When he arrived at the university in 1918 he could just clear feet '. By grind ing, ambitious training he added more than a foot to his leap and made him self one of the greatest all-round ath- letes who ever laced on spiked shoe.
 Osborn Whole Track Team
 Winning the decathlon even from II other stars in the national games i in Chicago on Labor Day this year 1 was the peak of Osborn's achieve ment His total score in the all i round test was 7,S50.11 points, the largest of any winner in A. 1. L.. i history. He wore the tricolor of the Illinois Athletic Club.
 ! To summarize that great days achievement. he won first in the 400- meter dash, the 15o0-meter, the 110- meter hurdles, the running broad and running high jumps, tied for first in the lO0-mcter dash, was sec ond in the javelin throw. third in the discus and shot put and tied for ] fifth in the pole vault. Wouldn't that i qualify him as whole track team by himself?
 On his poorest relative showing, the pole vault, he made the respec- table height Of 10 feet. His best record on the broad jump is 23 feet 3 l-2 inches, Harry Gill calls him the greatest athlete he ever trained.
 Hard Road to succes.
 Ii was d long and rough road he travelled to that distinction. though. Osborn was born on an Illinois farm 2f years ago. His brothers were ath- letes. but not world beaters. In col lege he earned his own expenses, acing as ianitor part of the time, Osborn wears glasses and looks far more like d college professor than star athlete.
 When he entered the college Of agriculture at the university. Coach Gill showed him how to roll over the bar instead Of jumping with body upright, They call it the osborn roll" at the university now. In his freshman year he climbed to feet, and kept developing.
 But the youngster met tough oppo- sition. Two years he entered the all-round event in the universitys big annual western relay carnival Brutus Hamilton of Missouri beat him. The third year Osborn beat Hamilton. lt was his most satisfying triumph, he says.
