: Frank A. f1inkey stood only five
feet six, weighed no more than $50
pounds, yet tackled 80 hard he
broke up football relations between
Harvard and Yale.
Frank Hinkey was the all-time
football freak. He appeared to be
an ai1emic pigny beside huge
teammates Hurricane Heffelfinger
and the others-but his boundless
energy and fiery spirit, kindled to
q holocaust, enabled him to easily
manhandle giants. His lean body
was banded with wire-like sinews.
He felt like iron to the touch, yet
was as flexible as ringmaster's
whip. He folded up like an accordion
when he tackled.
Opponents accused Yale's most
famous end Of fouling because
they couldn't believe "a runt
like that" could tackle with such
cyclonic force, but the inscrut-
able, cadaverous Hinkey was not
dirty player.
When Harvard charged that
Hinckey deliberately broke half
back Wrightington's collarbone at
Springfield In 1894, "the Silent
Man Of Destiny" as Chauncey
Depew once called him, made his
one public statement:
II have no idea Of injuring
man." sadi Frank Hinkey, "but I
do want to throw him so hard
he can't 60 on advancing the ball.
What do they want me to do
have couple Of linemen bring
mattress for me to throw the ball
carrier on?"
LIKE DISEMBODIED SPIRIT
In Einkey's day a runner could
wriggle along after being tackled
until he yelled Down" Pin falls
only counted, but 1t got 30 OPP
posing runners would holler down
whenever they saw Hinkey coming.
II don't blame Harvard and
Princeton for fearing Hinkey,"
remarked John Rodgers, Yale
substitute. I'VE are afraid Of him
ourselves when his lips narrow to
a thin line and his deep-set eyes
glow like live Goals"
Anyway, following the "a game,
the Crimson scratched the Blue from
Its list, did not again meet the Ellis
until '97, or three years following
the departure Of Hinkey the De-
stroyer.

bodied spirit He personified foot

I odoy's Sport Parade

In normal years, the golfing caravan
comprises about $50 nnksmen. The
gypsies Of the fairways normally
migrate from early Florida Journeys
to the Pacific coast; then back
through Arizona, Texas, and New
Orleans to Florida; then up through
the Carolinas OF the Masters Oper
at Augusta, Ca.
Augusta Closed
Corcoran said, II don't know how
many Journeys and exhibitions vel
have along the trail this season
Only one course on the winter
spring route has been closed, SC
far; the one at Augusta. But more
than 400 members Of the p. q. A.
are now In service-including many
Of the best players, like Sam Snead,
Ben Hogan, Paul Runyan, Jimmy
Thomson, Vic Ghezzi, Horton Smith,
Lawson Little, Chick Harbert, and
Perky Oliver"
Prominent performers still avail
able for competition include Byron
Nelson, Craig Wood, Jimmy De-
maret, Sammy Byrd, jug McSpaden,
Jimmy Hines, Willie Goggin, Harry
Cooper and Gene sarazefl. Most OF
these men probably will participate
In the trail" competitions, proceeds
Of which viii 60 to the Red Cross
and United Service Organizations.
Professional golf already has con-
tributed more than $250000 to war
aids, Corcoran said; and 1t has been
instrumental In the sale Of more
than $20,000,O00 worth Of war bonds.
Largest contribution was the $4,000
that went to the Red Gross from
the Detroit competition between the
Ryder Cup team and Walter Hagen'5
team.
Corcoran believes that, despite the
draft Of fathers, enough pro golf
ers will remain In play because Of
age or physical disabilities to keep
the game alive - just as 1t has
been kept alive practically every
where in the British Isles" Cor
coran returned in June from q six

Hinkey Tackled So Hard He
Broke Up Yale And Harvard

Clever and experienced iettermen
