Gridiron Leaders of 1926 Sometimes in connection with foot hall discussions one hears some rather funny statements, said in all simplic- ity and without any intent to be nny. For instance, down at Colum- Ma last Friday night. Dr. 8. V. San- ford, dean of the University of Geor- | zia and general manager of athletics | of that institution, expressed himself | thus about his team's chances in its game with Virginia the following day: | 1 am very fearful of our chances | against Virginia. You know, we have | a very light team this yvear. Our ends | are not heavy enough. They weight -ound 199 pounds each and stand | sbout six-fect-one. They are not very hig. but are well proportioned.” Which led somebody to remark that a good many coaches would like to have some of that kind of not-very- heavy, but well-proportioned mate- rial. oo After July 1, 1927, first-year cadet~ at West Point willenot be permitted to compete in sports. the 125-pound class is Manager (‘asassa, at Columbia 562, gridmen, |is after games for his Senator eleven with 100-pound teams. set this balance.” | sought by Friendship A.

ILLIAM AMOS, after two vears of sterling playing with w Washington and Jefferson, has finally reaped the reward that goes with work of the caliber such as he has performed. He is captain of the eleven that represents this institution this Fall, |and, from all indications, will lead a téam that at the end of the season should rank with the best in the East. ) | Capt. Amos, who is a fullback on the cleveri, came here from Kiski, an! | tnstitution which boasts one of the best prep school aggregations in the country. He was a star here, and has lived up to all that has been expected of him. Without doubt he is one > most finished 5 backs in the East. All the bag of tricks that are the requisite of a good fullback are at his command, whether it is bucking the line, kicking, or passing on the offense, or backing up the line and tackling on the defense. He is a three-major-letter man, being a regular on the varsity basket ball and track teams. COACH. NDREW W. KERR comes to W. and J. with a com- pleto knowledge of foot ball as it is played both in the East and the Far West. Although this is his first | season as mentor of the gridders here, it would be no | surprise if he turned out an eleven that will rank among the best in the land. Coach Kerr, who is a graduate of Dickinson College, where he was an outstanding foot bhall backfield per- former, has had a unique experience in the gridiron sport. Never a head coach, nevertheless he has been one of the important factors at the two universities where he has aided in putting out some fine eleven He has been assistant to Glenn “Pop” Warner at both Pitt and Leland Stanford University, and the aid that he has given that grand old man is | incalculable. Coach' Warner thinks that Andy Kerr is one of the smartest foot ball men in the country, and it is only the fact that he believes Kerr will have an opportunity to make a name for himselt at W. and J. that he reluctantly let him leave Stanford. Kerr went to the Far West to assume the job of imparting the knowl- edge of foot ball as Pop Warner wants it played the year before Coach Warner went out there himself, and he did a good job of it, as the record of Stanford shows for the past few vears. Coach Kerr will also take charge of the basket ball and track teams here, thus rounding out a complete year of activity. ‘The schedule of W. and J. for this season follows: October 2—W'. and J.. 17; Bucknell October 9—Rutgers at Washington, Pa.
