About this time the leading figure in American foot ball switched to Penn- | sylvania, and the old-time big three became foot ball’s big four. These were the days when Pennsyl- vania got the jump on Yale, leading the Blue, 6 to 0. The Days of Hinkey. JT WAS in this game, around the middle 90's, that Frank Hinkey, “the disembodied spirit,” moved fro end to halfback to drive hiz 60 vards or more to a touchdown with a herda long assault that couldn't be stopped— and Prank Hinkey weighed 153 pounds. But “180" pounds of this was flame and dynamite During the recent world series, your correspondent had the pleasure of several visits with Dr. Fred Murphy, one of Yale's famous capta wha played ars with Hinkey—who battled Penn some 40 years ago. “Those were battles.” Dr. Murpl said, “that no one will forget. ¥ was around the top in those days— but so was Pennsylvania. But if you pin me down, I'll say that, in my opinion, Frank Hinkey was the best foot ball player I ever saw. He wag undoubtedly the best—pound ‘or pound. He was a great end. He wag also a great quarterback and a greay halfback. If he had been called on, he would have made a great guard or a great tackle at 15! “Just what.” “were Hinkey's le agains A Foot Ball Genius. “YOL"LL remember,” Dr. Murphy said, “that Hinkey was known as ‘the disembodied spirit.” He could sift through any interference—naq matter how compact it was—and get his man. He was in no sense a mean or vicious player. But when he tackled a man he seemed to explode. I know of no other word that covers his case, It was something like a grenade or a stick of dynamite hitting a runner, Even a 180-pound back would be flate tened out completely. “Hinkey was a foot ball genius— and no one can explain a genius. His reflexes, mental and physical, were instantaneous. He could sense wherq every play was going. He made ng false moves of any sort.
