Eckersall never was injured seri-
ously playing football.
When the forward pass was in
its infancy In 1905. Eckersall's
completions, one for rs yards, led
to the $50 rout Of Illinois. But
perhaps his greatest feat was his
play and strategy in leading Chi
cago almost single-handed to a
20 victory over Fielding Yost's
1905 point-a-minute team. It was
Michigan's first defeat In i've
years.
Eckersall also was q terrific
dash man with a record Of 9.8
seconds for the 100, but his foot
ball prowess far oyershadowed his
track ability. .
After his graduation and until
his death, Eckersall served as a
sports writer for the Chicago Trib-
|une and as q football official in
the Big Ten. A high school sta
|dium. seating 5000 persons, was
named In his honor several years
|ago.
Other quarterbacks high in the
voting were Bo McMillin Of Centre,
recently appointed Philadelphia
Eagles coach; frankie Albert Of
stamford. Frank Carideo of Notre
Dame, Bennie Friedman Of Mich

ling conducted by the Associated

for the National Football Hall Of
Fame.
Eckersall. who died March "A,
1880. at the age Of 46 after a
heart attack. polled a total of 312

leader. During his collegiate
career, Eckersall held nearly every
lpunting and drop-kicking record.
He kicked five field goals in one
game on two occasions and his
|punts generally were good for go
yards or better.
Eckersall. one of the first Mid
Western players to be selected on
Walter Camps All-America teams,
was chosen at end In 1904 and at
quarterback in 1905 and 1905.
In 1908 the great Maroon star

against Wisconsin, causing Mil

to use the bannerline: Ecker

The next year he returned q
kickoff 106 yards-the field then
was 10 yards long-for the touch
down that helped beat Wisconsin
again, 1911. In 1905 he caused
Wisconsin more misery by beating
the Badgers with another Drop
kick. The field on this occasion
was suspiciously muddy although
1T was bright. sunny day and the
surrounding neighborhood was
dry.
It was in 1905. too, that he
booted five dropkicks against uli-

Career Women of the Bible"
by Elizabeth Williams Sudlow, is

ed by the Pageant Press, 4 West
4Oth ST., New York Is, NY. $3.50.
About twenty-five of the one
hundred and fifty women men
toned in the Bible were asSociat-
ed with some definite profession.
They all had some influence, no.
only in their own time, but also
in regards to the parallels which
exist today - in the popular form
of the career girls"
In Career Women of the
Bible, the author has taken these
Biblical characters and has made
them warm and living people -
examples of woman'S devotion to
duty. She has shown how the
Marthas and Marys have their
place in our age, and with pre-
else and clear style, she has drawn
accurate and appealing charact-
CREATIONS.
This book is written especially
for the layman who would like to
become more with the Bible. 1t
is for readers of all faiths. Miriam,
Ruth, Naomi, Esther and other
familiar, and some less known
names, are Immediately recog-
nizable.
The author is an acknowledged
Biblical expert and has made
outstanding contributions to the
field of religious education. She
has written over ten thousand
stories, features and articles, AND
is listed in the American and Ca
