Show KAW IS OUTSTANDING FIGURE OF GRIDIRON Stands Out Prominently as Most Finished Player. Comedian in Addition to Sterling Ability at Football Hat Most Al- -luring Way With Him Must Ba Seen to Ba Appreciated. The most outstanding figure of tho gridiron of late years was George Glpp, the wonderful Notre Dame buckfleld man'. Nobody for a year or two has stood out as he did, though Malcolm Aldrlch, too, had a meteoric appeal and was a vivid figure of the Eastern arena whose place Is rot quite filled by anybody this fall, unless Eddie Kaw. Cornell, Is the man to do It. Kaw, his admirers affirm, Is fully as good a man back of the line as Owen of Harvard Har-vard and a more colorful player. Aldrlch, Mahan, Ghee, Sprackllng, Lourle, Coy, Barrett, Thorpe, KUUnger, Heston, Mahan heroic figures these men are playing football now and one casta about to find such a one for 1922, the spectacular eye filling kind, vo, in addition to sterling ability as Eddie Kaw. i football player, has the spectacular wherewith to take a place In the distinguished dis-tinguished galaxy named. I'artlsans could argue until blue in the face the relative value of Kaw and Owen, but there I, about the Cornel-Han Cornel-Han what there Is about Rogers Horas-by Horas-by you can't think of anybody else you'd rather see piny, writes W. B. Hanna, in the New York Tribune. His performance at Franklin field last year had more appeal than that of any other single player I saw. For one thing, he did a lot of successful end-running end-running and had the help of splendid Interference, but, however much of tinsel tin-sel and however much of real worth there may have been to his work, his all-around playing on a muddy field hud to be seen to appreciate what effective ef-fective work a man could do under such vicious and treacherous conditions. |
