Peplaw of 182 Maple strect. | Bob who first came into promin- lence as an athlete while attending |the New Britaln High school, has, | | | ROBERT PEPLAW | for the past few years, been a stu- dent at the University of Minncsota.

Not taking into account h prowess as a track man, his ability as a basketball player or any of his other athletic accomplishments, | will deal here with the college foot- {ball season, finished but a short time, which brought to Bob Pep- law and New Britain undylng fame among the western gridiron follow- ers. Bob was always a speedy run- jner. He it was who time after time registered victories in for the local High school. Time (after time it was his work that { would lean the balance lever of vie- |tory just enough over in favor of the |local teams and the speed he used |so well while a student at the New Britain Hi school, was later des- |tined to bring him into prominence s a backfield star with the Minne- sota eleven. Because of the distance between this city and the scene of Bob's glorious work this year, reports coming through have been few. Ac- counts, however, of some of the im- portant games he played in during the season have been received by his family in full detail and a short resume of them may gi his friends in this city a small idea of the football ability he now possesses. per accounts of the game finnesota and Towa, of the with Wabash, affectionately termed the “Little Giants” and the battle with Wisconsin, contain glow ing descriptions of Peplaw's runs, his ki and his general all-around | play that should between make his family prime, but for those who have gone | we fleet dashes | BRILLIANT RECORD AT MINNESOTA Gained Fame During Recent Football Season—Was Flash On Runs and Star At Dropkicking—News- paper Accounts of Games Give High Praise to New Britain Boy—Had Excellent Athletic Career At New Britain High School—Home in This City. land friends proud of him.
