Were Trained Athletes in BY SOL METZGER Coach Washington_& Jefferson Foot- ball Team. i ‘When “Home Run Andy” “Wilson had graduated from Both Princeton and Pennsylvania it became necessary to earn a living. At each of these in- stitutions he had been known by this sobriquet because he was, in _his palmiest days, as great an artist with a baseball bat in college circles as is Ty Cobb in the big leagues °today. Having stood at the head of the col- lege swatters for more vears than is possible in these days of unending eligibility and having made some sim- ilar record as a student of various sciences and philosophies, “Home Run Andy” refused to foilow the beaten trail of starting in at the bottom. In- deed, almost instantly he became the founder and head of a preparatory school. Thus, reader, you meet Dr. A. W. Wilson, Jr., president of the Kisiciminetas Springs school, Salts- burg, Pa. And let us advise you in advance that you meet a live wire, If you don’t agree just talk with the head of any educational instaitution in the good old U. S. A. and ask him if it is @ simple fask to make a pri. wvate preparatory ' school pay an the same time, keep rizht up with present day competition in turning out boys who can pass ‘both college entrance requirements and make a success of life. One of the biggest arguments in fa- vor of intercollegiate athletics is the preparatory schoois, hll:: {lmdlng and oldest preparatory schools in ca. ‘Wherever you g«?‘gf‘u find~ that the head masters, principals’ and presi- dents have either been star college athletes in their day or men who are sorry they were not. Dr. Stearns, of Andover, and Dr. Irvine, of Mercers- burg, were great college athletes. Dr. Perry, of Exeter, and Dr. McPherson, of Lawrenceville, were not, although both of them have athletic leanings and athletic hearts, if one may so term the heart of a man who loves athletics. And - there is Dr. Wilson, of Kiski, who is preity nearly able to enter the box today, as he did at Princeton years ago when Harvard led 5-1 and pull such & game out of the fire 7-6 after a 16 inning struggle. It ‘was just this’ sort of grit developed on the athletic field that enabled Dr. Wilson to found and establish one of the leading preparatory schools in the east. It is not strange, when all the facts are looked into, to find the rec- ord of “Kiski” (which is as far as anyone ever got with the spelling) in interscholastic athletics a long list of triumphs. “Home Run Andy” was an example of what college sports would do for & man and he gave every at- tention to their proper promotion at his_school. ‘There are many larger and older and better known preparatory schools than Kiski, but all things considered, none have made a more flattering athletic record. In the matter of pro- ducing future college stars Kiski is ! l l DR. WILSON STRONG FOR SPORTS The Preparatory Schools One of the Biggest Arguments for Intercollegiate Sports—Principals and Head Maters All Needed Part of the Curriculum. Their Day—Athletics a Most interscholastic and . _intercoliegiate sport and like all private schoolmas- ters has been bound by neither pre- cedent or alliance in _eligibility. = He has urged athletics fof all and if for all why not for all? Therefore, all students are eligible for the athletic teams, whether interscholastic or in- terscholastic. Indeed, this is the sen- sible solution of ‘other private schools. Sport or play is for all. When the boy is dismissed from school he loses all school privileges. When he is at the school, all of its privileges are for him. Hill School, of Pottstown, has much a similar code. It is a highly satisfactorw code in the schools of the land but when Trinity college at- tempted to follow it a year ago it committed athletic harakirri for the time being, all because one of its stars had been unable to make good In a try out with Connie Mack for the Philadelphia Athletics. It is possible in the school because of no_alliances and because preparatory school ath- letics are developed at school. So Dr. Wilson has followed this code and successfully, especially where the future good of the boy was con- cerned. And he believes that a schol- arship code is ‘a poor one for the teacher as it puts him under too great temptation. That athletics are impor- tant as part of s school’s course is the belief of this headmaster, a belief he stands behind to the ex®ent that his athletic coaches are first of all teachers. Dr. Wilson coached the nine and eleven for years. Recently he has turned this work to teachers less busy than himself but no younger or more active. Indeed Dr. Wilson is stll a college boy in everything, except num- ber of birthdays, which do not nece sarily make one old. Athletics have helped Kiski because everyone at Kiski is urgd to go in for outdoor life which in this case is nothing more than properly supervised play. The teams have been g0od be- cause men like Dr. Wilson, and his assistant, W. H. Mac Coll, Prince- ton's greatest fymnast, have been at the head of sport. There is nothing but praise for a system like the ath- letic one at Kiski. It is a democratic school, run by a democratic head who appreciates more than all others at this school that athletics, both at school and colleze, are a most needed part of the curriculum.

Boxing enthusiasts have another hero to worship, Just a few days ago Les Darey occupied all the space al- iotted the fight news columnists, but Les he went away to be a stage fel- low and passed right out of the list of fighting men. Fred Fulton arrived just as Les left, and wherever followers of the ring congregate the lanky plasterer of Rochester, Minn., is the one talked about, writes Walter St. Denis in the New York Globe. No longer does any- body worry for fear that there is nev- er going to be anybody to give Jess Willard a battle for his title. In Fred Fulton they see the man. We met up with George Engle, the well known trainer and handler of fighters, who is now making New York his home. It was George who handled Frank Klaus in all of the latter's im- portant battles at home and in Europe. It is Georse-who is piloting Benny Leonard from the adviser's station of present ,and these are only two of the prominent battles George has been be- hind. Say, that Fulton is the greatest I've seen in many a day,” began George before ever a mention of the big fight- er's name was made. It just proved that Fulton was uppermost in the old expert’s mind. “He's a second Fitzsimmons, I tell you. There isn't a fighter we have around here now that he can’t stop in- side of ten rounds. He'll take every one of them as fast as they come to him, and when Mr. Willard steps into the ring Jess isn't going to have a picnic. I “aven't seen a fighter with such a great left hand as Filtons. He doesn’t exactly jab with it. It's a sort of screwy punch. Why, he would have cut the face off Cowler in a round or two. He has a dandy shift, too, much like old Bob used to have, and as soon as he develops that right hand of his a little more he'll make a champion that none will dare trifle with. ‘I do wish I had that fellow. There's a million dollars in him if there is a nickel in any fighter in the world. He’s honestly the best looking thing Tve seen with gloves in ever 30 Jong.” Engle’s words are only those of every one who claims ability to judge be- tween the good and bad in the figthing game. And Fulton isn't the least. bit disturbed by all the complimentary things being said about him. He does not claim he is invulnerable to a punch. He has stopped many of them and knows their effects. He was up in Jack Doyle’s billard academy re- cently learning the trick of being a hard boiled egg, a necessary quality for a champion, of for one who bids for the place. The subject of his right hand came up, and of his nursing of it measely offer of Jack Dillon. particularly on the occasion of his 1 did keep my right hand up against my jaw,” explained the iengthy battler- “T had a reacon. I didn’t dare take it way from there after that eecond nd. Reich caught me a pipin on the chin and I was absolutely out on my feet: T decided to rely on my left to win for me. I never got over the punch and kept my jaw protected with-the right. Had Reich pust rushed me then he would have finished me. It was pro- bably the hardest blow I ever got in my life, although I will say that Cow- ler hit me a couple of beauts the other night. That doesn't mean that I can take a punch either. Any heavywelght hurts when he hits. KILBANE READY TO QUIT, Johnny to Hang up Gloves After This Season. The boxing game is about tc suffer a great loss. Johnny Kilbane, one of the two or three men of the ring, whom the writer believes to be real fighters, is ready to quit the game. The end of the present indoor season will see Johnny hang up the old gloves for all times, not because he is tired of being the champion featherweight of the world, but because there are no more men worthy of testing his skill, says Walter St. Denis. He would like to close his career in possession of both the featherweight and lightweight titles, but he holds out little hope of acquiring the latter. His persistent challenges to Freddie Welsh have gone practically unnoticed to date. He is going to make a final bid for the bout. Money is no object to him in getting that which he seeks, for he is ready to concede Welsh nearly all his demands. “Weish can weigh 135 pounds at & o'clock on the day of the fight,” said Johnny. “So far as the money goes, Tm not particular what I get. T just want a chance to -meet Freddle be- cause I think I can beat him. He is holding out for unheard of sums to meet me, but I'll raise no money bar- rier if he ever gets ready to put his name to articles of agreement with me “I'm going to see what I can do with other lightwelights in the meantime. None of them are barred. Of several ! I will demand they make 133 pounds ringside, but Welsh can have:his fa- vorite mark. Next spring if nothing in the way of good matches present them- selves.I'm going to quit. It's disgust- ing the way business is for me just now. Boxing has been mighty good for me and when I get through I'll.not have to worry. “But T'll have to keep going and do something. I'm going to see George M. Cohan in a day or two and see if he will write a stage piece fo me. 1 think I will go very weil on the stage and that the profession will keep me —— BELL-ANS Ab'solutgly Removes Indigestion.

But at his home in Cleveland Johnny is a_philanthropist. The poor have benefited by his charity work in great measure. Joe Brannigan, his New York friend, who accompanied Johnny to the Globe office, told how the featherweight champion . spends thousands and . thousands of dollars svery year to help his less fortunate brothers. “Why,” said_Joe, “In every one of the five years Johnny has been cham- pion not a Christmas has goue by that he has not spent from $1,200 to $1,500 in Christmas baskets for the poor of Cleveland. He doesn't get the money by holding outings, balls, or picincs or anything like that, either. He digs right- down. into -his own pocket and pays his bills himself. The churches age also aided financially by Johnny, afd anybody with a rgod hard-ltck story has always found nim ready to help.” “I never miss any money I spend that way,” broke in the champion, “It seems that it comes back two-fold. I have had : good luck, but I know what doubles. Those who attadk intercollegiate sthletics claim that the harm and trouble is at the start. This means the high and - preparatory - schools.
