i n£ © — Tom Shevlin’s Sudden Death Recalls the Unexpected End- ing of His Great Teammate, Jim Hogan. Onpreieht, 1918, by The reas Poti (The ok tveninn Werth T would be a pleasant thing to think that a man like Tom Shev. lin could live to a good ol4 age— say 100 years. And it is almost im- possible for Sheviin's friends to re- alise that anything could conquer the greatest of all Yale's famous athietic heroes. Sheviin's death from a eud- den attack of pneumonia recalls the unexpected ending of his great mate, Jim Hogan, Sheviin and Ho- fan were the most powerful mon that wore the Blue, physical giants, who seemed immune to all the hard knocks of @ football player's career. It was Yale's boast that neither Hogan nor Shevlin had ever boen put out of the play, even for a moment. They wore fren men, Of Hogan it was said that he had never even been marked tn « football contest, although he was one of the hardest fighters on the arid- iron, And Jim Hogan died only a year or so after leaving college. Con- neoted with the Street Cleaning De- partment of New York City, he went out one wintry day without an over- coat and rode around until night su- sing the army of men attacking irs Rim He, Uke Sheviin, con- tracted pneumonia and died almosi immediate, It seoms ee, that of ‘ale’s athletes 7. at ft oa ten years ago, these two shoul Ve Bt10- cumbed to disease, for they were both powerful, rugged giants, filed with extraordinary vitality and powers of resistance, 3 ever a man had things to live ‘or it was Sheviin.

Tt was as a football player that ‘Tom Sheviim gained most fa: played through his four college yi ~ one on the freshman and three on the varsity. In his last year he was eleeted captain of the Yale team. From the start Shevlin was a sen- eacional player.
