Looking Back.

A LII this brought up a debate as to
= whether the college players of 1885
were as hardy or as rugged as the
teams of rs or 80 years ago.
Only a few days ago I ran across
John w. Heisman and Herman Suter
at the same foot ball gathering. Their
meeting brought part of the answer.
In. 1899 Suter, a former Princeton
quarterback, was coaching Sewanee.
HeiSman had a fine team at Auburn,
one of the best in the South.
This was the year when Suffers Sc
vance played five hard games In six
days-think that one over.
I'VE opened up with Texas" Suter
said. "Our fifth game was against
Auburn. just six days later. We trav-
eled more than 5000 miles and won
them all. As I recall 1t we used about
three substitutes in the five games.
we didn't have any more.
"We tried to book six games
for the six-day trip through
the Southwest and the South,
but couldn't dig up another
mid-week opponent
How did you finish?" I asked.
"A little tired" Suter said, but
otherwise in pretty good shape. Most
of my n1en-even the smaller ones
were Commute shooters. They also
came from close to the soil"
The star of this Sewanee team was
Ormond Simkins, one of the best
backs foot ball ever saw-ball carrier,
blocker. q terrific tackler and star
kicker. Simkins and Aubrey Ianier

EAST IS TRAILER

n YEw YORK, December 5.-De-
M spite a late rally by Eastern
forces intersectional honors
4 for the 1885 foot ball season
belong to the Middle West and South
west.
Midway through the campaign it
looked as if the East were headed to-
ward its worst year in major tests
with teams from other sections, but
Atlantic seaboard elevens came
through in fine style during the clos
ing weeks to gain an even break In
40 intersectional contests.
This failed. however, to approach
the Southwest's mark of nine VIC
tories in 13 games and the Middle
Vests fine record of Is victories and
16 defeats.
Rice, Southen Methodist and Texas
Christian led the Southwestern charge
against distant elevens. Notre Dame
carried most of the Middle Western
burden, winning three games and
tying one other. Duquesne, Temple
and Fordham were the chief Eastern
winners.
Although the South won only II
of its 19 major intersectional games,
that district had one big winner in
Louisiana State, Southeastern Con-
ference champion. L. S. u. defeated
Manhattan, Arkansas and Texas after
dropping an early season game to
Rice.
The Far West won two of eight in
tersectional games, while the Rocky
Mountain group dropped five straight.

Close to the Soil.
WE BEGAN talking over the stronger

Layden, the impresario Of Notre Dame,
offered a valuable tip.
I'll tell you where the best material
comes FROM" Layden said. up around
Minnesota - from the coal fields
around Pittsburgh and from the
Southwest. The boys from these three
sections are closer to the soil. They
are farther away from the softer sides
of living. They can take more punish
ment. They have better legs and
stronger hands. They are closer to
good condition.
Here's a double example" Layden
continued. From their 1884 teams
Minnesota and Pittsburgh lost such
men as these-Lund, Kostka, Clark
son, Alphonse, Seidel, Bevan, Larsen,
Tenner, Weinstock, Hartwig, Ormiston,
Shotwell, Nicksick-at least Is or 20
stars all told yet Minnesota comes
back with another team just as good,
and Pittsburgh almost as good, in No
vember.
mo other sections, except the
Southwest, could have had such
replacements ready so many
big, fast, rugged boys who love
