J i Brain at last returned to its ruling j place in the eyrie and the big hulk i ii jtraiuted' on the beach. for example, we might as ' J well start with football. Who " drew the big bulk of the ' iwards? The answer is quite jmple Doak Walker, Charley I justice and Frankle Albert. Walter, of S.M.U., weighs 165 ) pounds. Justice of North Caro-' Caro-' Una weighs the same. Albert of I e San Francisco 49'ers is .round 160. I This is on the light side of a game II that has been taking on weight year :i f after year. "I We read now about lines that average 225 pounds from tackle to tackle or 223 pounds from end to Mi end. We read of backfields that jj iverage 187 or 191 pounds.

I've seen more than a lew 220 or 230-pound guards nd tackles who were fast, but Dot overburdened with any mental men-tal weight. Some of them were A well linemen just, the same. Sj It was an amazing . thing for Frankie Albert, a wolverine among the mastodons and mammoths, to get so many votes. In addition to his smartness and his skill, Albert Ihas always had, from bis Stanford days, another qualification so often B' missing. This is stamina. You can also add ruggedness. ' iuJ In Other Fields, Too Football isn't the only game that enters this consideration of brawn gin versus brain. Baseball hands most ,igt 1 its laurels to Lou Boudreau, an-13b an-13b o'her 165-pound entry. 4 ta fte past we've had Cobb 185 ai pounds; Wagner-200 pounds; Babe N Ruth 225 pounds; Lajoie - 200 I?
