per--and every heart gives an extra throb as it hungers in an unholy but perfectly human way for a clash between the two. There were three Harlan brothers who played at Princeton in '81, '83, '84. At Harvard Lothrope, Paul and Ted Withington; Percy, Jack and Sam Wendell. In Cornell a redoubtable trio were the Taussigs. Of these J. Hawley Taussig played end for four years ending with the '96 team. Charles followed in the same position in '99, '00 and '01 and Joseph K., later Lieutenant Commander of the torpedoboat destroyer _Wadsworth_ played quarter on the Naval Academy team in '97 and '98. A third trio of brothers were the Greenways of Yale. Of these, John and Gil Greenway played both football and baseball while Jim Greenway rowed on the crew. Another Princeton family, well known, has been the Moffats. The first of these to play football was Henry, who played on the '73 team which was the first to beat Yale. He was followed by the redoubtable Alex, who kicked goals from all over the field in '82, '83, and '84, by Will Moffat who was a Varsity first baseman and by Ned Moffat who played with me at Lawrenceville. Equally well known have been the Hallowells of Harvard--F. W. Hallowell, '93, R. H. Hallowell, '96, and J. W. Hallowell, '01. Another Hallowell--Penrose--was on the track team, while Colonel Hallowell, the father, was always a power in Harvard athletics. When we come to cite the pairs of brothers who have played, the list seems endless. The first to come to mind are Laurie Bliss of the Yale teams of '90, '91 and '92 and "Pop" Bliss of the '92 team, principally, I think, because of Laurie's wonderful end running behind interference and because "Pop" Bliss, at a crucial moment in a Harvard-Yale game deliberately disobeyed the signal to plunge through centre on Harvard's 2-yard line and ingeniously ran around the end for a touchdown. Tommy Baker and Alfred Baker were brothers. Continuing the Yale list, there have been the Hinkeys, Frank and Louis, who need no praise as wonderful players--Charlie and Johnny de Saulles--Sherman and "Ted" Coy--W. O. Hickok, the famous guard of '92, '93 and '94 and his brother Ross--Herbert and Malcolm McBride, both of whom played fullback--Tad Jones and his brother Howard--the Philbins, Steve and Holliday--Charlie Chadwick and his younger brother, George, who captained his team in 1902. Their father before them was an athlete. In Harvard there have been the Traffords, Perry
