frank Hinkey was probably the greatest
field general in the history of foot ball.
Hinkey was also a wonderful wing man. It is
claimed that in all his playing career at Yale
he never permitted a yard gain around his
end. Better than any other, Hinkey exempli-
fled the determined, fighting spirit so valuable
in foot ball player"
Dick Hanley gives Thorpe first place on the
list.
You have asked me my opinion as to whom
I consider the greatest foot ball player Of all
time, with second, third, fourth and fifth
choices" said Mr.. Hanley.
'The men whom I would list first and Sec
ond I have never had the pleasure of seeing
perform" he said.
MY first choice is Jim Thorpe Carlisles
great All-America under Pop Warner Every
one who ever played against him or who ever
watched him at the height of his career admits
candidly that he does not know of single
weakness this fellow had during his playing
days. He was great kicker. excelling not only
in punting but also in drop-kicking and place.
kicking. He was threat in every department
OF offensive line play, being excellent smash
ing, plunging player. He was tremendously
fast, being one Of the fastest big men the foot
ball game has known. In addition to his of
fensive ability Thorpe was one of the greatest
defensive players In the history of the game
Eddie Mahan, fine kicker, paSser and run
ner and great defensive man. would be my
second choice. would rate Ernie Movers Of
Stanford third. He did not possess quite the
speed that Mahan and Thorpe did, but he was
much better than average foot ball player.
He was an excellent open-field runner and n
better blocker than either of the first two
mentioned. would place Bronko Nagurski of
Minnesota fourth Never in all my life have

coach likes to have on his foot ball team. He
was a fine punter, q fine forward passer, q
great line plunger and q marvel on defense
Ernie Nevers was a foot ball player without o
fault.
Jim Thorpe was the best man in his posi-
ton ever saw, the cleverest man for his weight
ever saw. Jim was as fast, shifty and clever
as any lightweight back and yet was heavy
enough to play the smashing game and be a
power in the interference. Thorpe was a great
punter and passer as well as a fine ball carrier.
He was without superior as a safety man and
could play any defensive backfield position.
"Hefelfnger was unusually large man,
but exceedingly fast On his feet. He never met
the player who was nearly his equal. Heffel-
finger was powerful both defensively and Of
fensively and was especially valuable on inter-
ference.
willie Heston was a heavy very fast back,
who showed all the skill and elusiveness that
is usually found in lighter ball carriers. Hes
ton had an ideal build for halfback-com-
pactly put together, but very fast for his
weight.

I CONSIDER the opinions of Pop Warner most

coached Thorpe at Carlisle and Nevers at Stan

Bill and for immediate relief today.
The delegation which presented
the demands at the city hall was
told that the city officials give them
their sympathy"
When this was reported to the
crowd outside, the workers booed.
Members of the demonstration
rose and denounced the crumbs of
charity and fake city employment
campaign with which the Trenton
employers are trying to fool them.
Everybody cheered the announce
ment made during the dcmonstra-
ton that there would be another
demonstration here on Feb. 10. and
still another Feb. IS, international

UNITY COUNCIL TO
TRAIN WORKERS.
Joint Meeting Sunday
to Organize

NEW YORK. - A very important
Joint meeting to establish central
organization for working class educa-
ton will be held Sunday, February 8,
2 p. m, at the Trade Union Unity
Council headquarters, 16 West 21st
st. The educational directors and the
members of the educational commit
tees of all militant mass organizations
are invited to be present.
The need for the establishment of
an apparatus for mass revolutionary
working class education is greater to-
day than ever before. There are al
ready a number of militant workers
organizations that engage in edu-
cational activities. They build for
ums, in some cases establish classes
or have regular discussions at meet
ings of the organization This, how
ever, is more or less sporadic and GER
tainly far from assuming the scope
that it should.
The extremely sharp situation in
the country, the deep going crisis, the
mass unemployment. the growing
struggles of the American workers,
the police terror against the unem-
ployed, injunctions, vicious Jail SEN
fences and fierce strike breaking ac-
tivities of the government and its
agents. make the question of training
leading forces for mass struggles and
of developing the political under
standing and consciousness of the
masses an immediate burning question
for every working class organization.
The question of full time. three
months school for the intensive train
ing of new leaders for the militant
revolutionary organizations will come
up for discussion. Revolutionary I'M
ions and working class mass fraternal
and benefit societies will be given a
number of places in the school. The
project Of such school and the en-
tire plan of systematizing and putting
educational work on a firm organiza-
tional basis is of immediate i'm
portance.
This meeting is called by the Educa-
tional Committee of the Trade Union
Unity Council.

B'LYN YOUNG LIB
ORATORS RAlDED
Bosses Try to Isolate
Negro Workers

NEW YORK. - Carrying out the
bosses policy of isolating the Negro
workers, police of the Bergen Street
precinct, South Brooklyn, few days
ago raided the headquarters of tho
John Brown branch of the Young
Liberatcrs at 511 Baltic Street, on the
grounds that Negro and white young
workers were meeting together there.
The police smashed in the windows
and furniture, confiscated literature,
and retained sample copies of the
Liberator, She Young Worker ard the
pamphlet Lynch Justice at Work
When comrades appeared at the po-
lice station demanding the reason for
the raid, they were asked: What kind
of club have you there, anyway, with
Negroes and whites meeting to-
gether?"
Following the raid, the landlord
asked the comrades for the premises
saying the police had told him that if
he permitted Negroes and whites to
meet there together they would raid
the premises as a disorderly house.
The John Brown branch was forced
to move and has been meeting in the
homes of comrades since.
The branch was organized two
months ago, and has shown great ac-
tivity. holding meetings every week,
rallying workers in protest against I'M
employment and mass misery, and in
protest against the death by starva-
tion of two Negro children in the sec
ton, against the bosses lynch terror,

This committee, composed of
two republican and one demo-
crat Senator is formed, not to
study unemployment insur-
ance, but to discover the best
means of fighting the growing de-
mands of millions of workers for i'm
mediate relief.
What the Senators will grapple
with is methods of avoiding the
granting of unemployment insurance.
While Hoover refuses to grant one
cent for relief of the unemployed,
the Senate hands this committee
$4,000 as initial expense for its study
of methods of fighting unemployment
insurance demands.
The capitalist Congressman and
Senators know that there have been
dozens of hunger marches throughout
the country, in which 100000 workers
participated. They remember the
March 9Th demonstration, and they
know on February 10th, the unem-
ployed delegation will come to Wash
ington and demand it be given the
right to present the demands of the
100000 unemployed for unemploy-
ments insurance That is why this
action, which has been pending for
over one year, is rushed through a
few days before the arrival of the
delegation.
1t is an attempt to fool the work
ers into the belief that something is
being done, that the Senators are
studying" the question.
