NObleman Race
Horse Trainer Is
Leaving Profession

London, Dec. 30-(AP)-Almost the
last of the noblemen race horse
trainers. the Honorable George Lamb
ton, is retiring from his profession
with all of the blue ribbons of the
English turf In his possession.
The Honorable George has trained
the horses of the Earl of Derby since
1893, and it has been mostly with the
animals of this sporting lord that he
has won the coveted classics-the
Derby. The trainer and his noble en-
ployer crowned their racing careers
in 1924 by winning the Derby with
San Sovino after more than 80 years
of effort.

Frank Hinkey ranked among the
outstanding gridiron stars of all time.
In the days when mass play was the
vogue. Hinkey played end four years
at Yale, from 1891 to 1894. and in the
opinion of veteran critics established
himself as one of the greatest wing
men of all time.
Hinkey was picked by Walter
Camp for his ail-American team in
each of these four seasons. He CAP
tanned the Eli team in his last two
seasons, an aggregation that also in
cluded such famous gridiron figures
as "Pudge'' Heffelfinger and Butter
worth.
Hinkey, despite his diminutive size.
was one Of the f1ercest tacklers the
game ever produced. Tremendously
strong, fearless. agile and alert. he
handled men almost twice his bulk
with ease and it was Yale tradi-
ton that Hinkeys end was never
turned during his four years OF play.
Regrets at Yale
New Haven, Conn, Dec. 30.-(AP)
Yale men expressed keenest re-
grets here tonight at the death In
Southern Pines, N. c., today of
Frank Hinkey, Yale football star of
thirty years ago.
Tad" Jones, shead coach at the uni
versity, and Harold f. Woodcock,
general manager Of the Yale Athletic
Association, see in his passing "a
great loss to all Yale men and to
football"
Frank Butterworth, who was
teammate of Hinkey's for three sea-
sons, said: Frank Hinkey was the
greatest end that ever paved foot
ball. He always played a hard game
which led many to believe that he
was a dirty player. but such was not
the case. He was a decidedly clean
player. AS a coach Hinkey was a
great believer ir. the lateral pass,
which was his speciality. We will all
miss Frank-particularly those few
of us left who played with him and
knew his characteristics and traits
better than anyone else"
Coach Jones, who also believed
that Hinkey was the greatest end
that ever lived" said he first knew
the former Eli captain when he
(Jones)' was a freshman.
81 have numbered him as personal
and dear friend ever since" Mr..
Jones said. "Hinkey as a coach was
years ahead of his time and he play
ed no little part in the placing Of the
gridiron game on the high plane 1t
now occupies"
