Yale showed against Boston Univer-
sity that 1t possesses a typical Yale
team, which means strength plus
courage and speed and nearly every
thing else that goes to make good
foot ball.
Dartmouth has an eleven about in
the same classification, while Chicago
usually is ranked as one of the tough
est teams in the Western Conference
TO beat.
SO 1t is apparent that the Southern
elevenS due to face these schools have
considerable to think about between
now and Saturday afternoon.
Sometimes i'm connection with foot
hall discussions one hears some rather
funny statements, said in all simple
ity and without any intent to be
funny. For instance. down at Colum.
bia last Friday night. DIR. S. V. San
ford, dean Of the University Of Geor-
Eia and general manager of athletics
OF that institution, expressed himself
thus about his teams chances in its
game with Virginia the following day:
Il am very fearful of our chances
against Virginia. You know, we have
a very light team this year. Our ends
are not heavy enough. They weight
around 100 pounds each and stand
about siX-feet-one. They are not very
big, but are we'll proportioned."
Which led somebody to remark
that a good many coaches would like
70 have some Of that kind of not-very-
heavy, but well-proportioned mate
rial.
Another story going the rounds
down in South Carolina concerns Il
foot ball player who is said to have
been induced by some means to enter
a small school. 1t seems that q, very
learned judge was invited to address
the board Of trade of the town where
is located the school in question. The
foot ball team of the school was in
vited to attend. After the judges
speech, the star player of the team
was called on for brief address,.
Here is the total of his speech:
"Gentlemans. l can't make no
speech, but what ! kin say is that
what have did at -- I kin do
here
The story came out as a. result Of
the judge, on arriving at his home,
asking the head Of another institution
IL the colleges had dropped their
courses in English and substituted
foot ball.
Two foot ball players at the Uni
versity of South Carolina are bound
10 stand out this year among the best
in the South. They are Boyd, center.
and Kimberley. halfback. Boyd
weighs nearly 1S0- pounds and is fast,
good tackler, hard and aggressive
player, passes well, and does about
everything a good lineman should.
Wimberley weighs 40 pounds, is
shifty, can drive when tackled, and
has a deceptive hip sway that should
make him a great ground gamer
against any kind of an eleven. If
these two men were at Yale. Prince
ton, or any other 3 places out Of 10
they would be on the varsity and val.
liable members at that.
Christy Benet. formerly one of the
great men in athletics at Virginia and
AT present q member of the Virginia
athletic board, and also a former
United States Senator from South
carolina, has a son at Episcopal High
School playing tackle on the eleven.
Young Benet bids fair to be a coun-
terpart of his father, who is a big
