Doc Hillebrand, the ever-reliable, All-American tackle, had been compelled to leave the game with a broken collar-bone just before McBride made his touchdown. I remember well the play in which he was injured and I have resurrected a photograph that was snapped of the game at the moment that he was lying on the ground, knocked out.
Here he is, layin' his hand on 'Willie's' shoulder. Bearse, the All-American half-back last year. "Gabe's mouth fell open. 'Not "Bung" Bearse, of Yarvard! he sings out. 'Why! "'Of course, father! purrs his daughter, smilin' and happy. 'I knew him at once. He and I were er slightly acquainted when I was at Highcliffe. "'But but "Bung" Bearse! gasps the old gent. 'Why, you rascal!
The quickest way to kill a man or an idea in this country is by a 'campaign of silence." Seeing that Gregory did not quite get his drift, he went on: "Your idea is O.K. It will write up well if it is handled right. Moreover it is a little out of the ordinary, and all-American. That is a popular theme at present." He paused and puffed the air full of smoke-wreaths.
"Joe did and that year he made the All-American guard. "It was less than a week before the Harvard-Princeton game at Princeton, 1911, a friend of mine wrote down and asked me to get him four good seats, and said if I'd mention my favorite cigar, he'd send me a box in appreciation. I got the seats for him, but it was more or less of a struggle, but in writing on did not mention cigars.
Here is another good Huggins story: "Sprackling, our All-American quarterback of a few years ago, always had his nerve with him and, however tight the place, generally managed to get out with a whole skin. But I recall one occasion when the wind was taken out of his sails; he was at a loss what to say or how to act.
I saw you made the all-American last fall, and meant to write you a note about it, but I didn't get a chance. That was great!" But even at this new angle, the talk didn't run smoothly.
For one thing, the sun and wind, best of all hemlocks, tanned his white skin into a tough all-American leather, seasoned his muscles into rawhide sinews, and, without burdening him with an extra ounce of flesh, sprinkled the red through his blood till, though thin, he looked apoplectic. Insensibly, too, something else came about.
When his playing days were over Walter Camp paid him the high tribute of placing him on the All Time, All-American team at tackle. Fish played at Harvard in 1907 and 1908, and was captain of the team in 1909. I know of no Harvard man who is in a better position to pay a tribute to Francis Burr, whose spirit still lives at Cambridge, than Ham Fish.
There is talk about an all-American football team playing the best college teams of the country. I'd enjoy pitting my boys against this all-American team, even if we were defeated. Don't say another word, Morgan. Let's get out of here. I want you to buy some clothes and " "I have the pawn tickets for my own clothes," said Dade, in a low tone. "Good! We'll have your wardrobe out of hock in a hurry.
Chicago's subsequent touchdown made the score a close one but left the championship, the first in three years, with Michigan. The center on this team, W.R. Cunningham, '99m, was Michigan's first player on an All-American Team. This team had been coached by a number of the older players, a system that was followed again in 1899, but with no brilliant success.
