and Bernie--Arthur Brewer and Charley the fleet of foot, who ran ninety yards in the Harvard-Princeton game of 1895 and caught Suter from behind--the two Shaws,--Evarts Wrenn, '92 and his famous cousin Bob who played tennis quite as well as he played football. [Illustration: HOBEY BAKER WALTER CAMP, JR. SNAKE AMES, JR.] Princeton, too, has seen many pairs of brothers--"Beef" Wheeler, the famous guard of '92, '93 and '94 and Bert Wheeler, the splendid fullback of '98 and '99 whose cool-headed playing helped us win from Yale both in Princeton and at New Haven--the Rosengartens, Albert and his cousin Fritz and Albert's brother who played for Pennsylvania--the Tibbotts, Dave and Fred--J. R. Church, '88, and Bill Church, the roaring, stamping tackle of '95 and '96--Ross and Steve McClave--Harry and George Lathrope--Jarvis Geer and Marshall Geer who played with me on teams at both school and college--Billy Bannard and Horace Bannard--Fred Kafer and Dana Kafer, the first named being also the very best amateur catcher I have ever seen. Fred Kafer, by the way, furnished an interesting anachronism in that while he was one of the ablest mathematicians of his time in college he found it wellnigh impossible to remember his football signals! Let us not forget, too, Bal Ballin, who was a Princeton captain, and his brother Cyril. In other colleges, the instances of football skill developed by brotherly emulation have been nearly as well marked. Dartmouth, for instance, produced the Bankhart brothers--Cornell, the Starbucks--one of them, Raymond, captaining his team--the Cools, Frank and Gib--the latter being picked by good judges as the All-America center in 1915--and the Warners, Bill and Glenn. The greatest three players from any one family that ever played the backfield would probably be the three Draper brothers--Louis, Phil and Fred. All went to Williams and all were stars; heavy, fast backs, who were good both on defense and offense, capable of doing an immense amount of work and never getting hurt. At Pennsylvania, there have been the Folwells, Nate and R. C. Folwell and the Woodruffs, George and Wiley, although George Woodruff, originator of the celebrated "guards back," was a Yale man long before he coached at Pennsylvania. It is impossible for any one who saw Jack Minds play to forget this great back of '94, '95, '96 and '97, whose brother also wore the Red and Blue a few years later. Doubtless there have been m
