that Heffelfinger made his greatest bid.
He still holds his place as one OF the
two all-time All-American guards, with
TruXton Hare of Pennsylvania usually
accorded the other spot. Heffelhnger
was a line wrecker in his day, 190-
pound guard, with the speed of a half
back, who was all flame and fire
through every game. He had brains
and courage to help out any situation.
Some of the moderns thought Heff
was overrated, along with other old
timers, until he returned to Yale one
Fall when nearing SO. At this age
he came close to wrecking an entire
Yale line composed Of young giants
around 200 pounds who were from
20 to % years of age. Not only that,
but in the neighborhood Of so he
was the fastest lineman on the field,
swinging into interference from the
guards position. He could have
made almost any big foot ball team
in the country. when he was some
where between As and so, with only
little training.
Eddie Glass, another great Yale
guard, had amazing arm strength.
Heffelfnger had the strongest pair Of
legs that foot ball has seen. They
drove his body like a catapult. These
legs gave him speed and power COM
bined, and his big body was strong
enough to stand the shock which his
was a star foot ball player 40 years ago,
and his return to political action will be
an interesting event to all the old
guard.

Just at the moment it seems to be

the Westerners an argument. The

If California wins again, the net two

sweep, not to say a mop-up. Yet there
is proof enough that California oars

season, he might as we'll take up golf

If Connie can't win this Summer, he
will discard his entire outfit again, as
he did in 1914, and build a new ma

old kid.
