CHICAGO.V ' Sept, ' .'6. Special.)
Frank Foss, f, the Chicago Athletic
association one 'of the . stars of the
American track and field team which
competed. In the Olympic teams at
Antwerp, - Belgium, is an example of
a self-made athlete, .who has reached
the pinnacle of ' his. career by perse
verance and determination.
The Cherry Circle athlete Is the
holder of. the. world's pole vault rec
ord 'at 13 feet and -16 .Inces. He
also, holds the national A. A. U. cham
pionship at 13 feet..l- Inch. He has at
tempted to shatter his world's record
on several occasions; but failed by the
narrowest, of margins. . '
Foas' broke into the athletic spot
light at Cornell university, where, he
was rated one of the best vaulters in
the eastern colleges. When he en
tered college he was a frail sort of
athlete., who, did not have the strength
to pull',, himself up while attempting
extreme heights in hia chosen event.
He had the. necessary speed to get
up in the' air. but his shoulder mus
cles were .not strong enough to do the
rest. '
- He was told to use the pulley
weights to strengthen the muscles re
quired for successful pole vaulting.
He followed, this advice by spending
over an hour each day in the gymna
sium, doing everything Which would
give him the necessary strength to
pull his body over the bar when he
had attained certain heights, by hard
runs.-.-
By the time he left college Foss was
able to clear the bar at heights close
to 13 feet. He came west and went
into . business, with his father at the
stockyards In . Chicago. He did not
lose, his -. Interest in athletics- and
joined Martin Delaney's track team.
Delaney. at once, set himself to
change, the athlete's form a. trifle and
show him a few things about the pull
up and fling away. The Cherry Circle
coach also emphasized the fact of the
proper - measurement of his run so
that he could stick hia pole Into the
ground without chopping his stride.
He worked on his run to such an ex
tent -that he' now will not vary his
pproach six Inches in an afternoon's
pole .vaulting.
He -also was shown the best meth
ods of timing himself In the air so
that his pull-up would be made at the
proper time and- also when to -release
himself from the pole. He worked
hard to perfect his form, with the re
sult he is considered one of the most
consistent performers in track ath
letics today.
WASHINGTON BETS SOLON
ALL-AMERICAN" STAR PICKED
FOR ASSISTANT COACH.
Gopher Football End and Back
Will Help Stub Allison
Make North Eleven.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) Lorin Solon, former University
of Minnesota football star, crack ath
lete, ail-American end for 1913 and
ail-American fullback for 1914, will
be assistant football coach at the
University of Washington for the
coming season. Solon was secured as
assistant coach after Washington of
ficials had scoured the country for
the right man to help Coach "Stub"
Allison.
Solon first came Into football
prominence at Minnesota in 1913.
when he played end on the Ciopher
eleven.. His work that season at
tracted the attention of football crit
ics the counn-y over, and he was
named as one of the two best ends
produced in American collegiate foot
ball for that season. The following
year "Doc" William, Minnesota's
coach, needed a fullback, and Solon
was selected for the place on ac
count of his speed and his ability to
carry the ball. He Justified Will
iam's action in placing him at full
by being picked as all-American full
back. The following season his team
mates elected him captain. He held
down fullback that season in such a
manner that middle west football
critics claimed that he was the great
est fullback seen in action from
those parts.

Some -fancy prices are being paid
for minor-league stars by the clubs
under the. big top this season. -
One of he instances of big prices
paid for tossers from the little leagues
is that of Pat Shea. -whom the New
York Giants are reported, to have
purchased from Toronto for 312.600.
Shea is a right-hander and McGraw is
reported as listing- him as a "find."
Back in 1908 the Giant leader start
ed a flutter in baseball circles by
pungling up 311,000 for Rube Mar
guard, whom they called the "311,000
beauty." and later the "311,000 bloom
er." Marquard has outgrown the lat
ter, however.
Clark Griffith is writing out some
big checks for rookie talent, also. His
biggest buy was First Baseman Frank
Brower of the Reading club for $15.
000. Brower is the home-run . king
of the International, and no less than
seven big-league clubs were bidding
for him at the time Foxy Griff. put
over the litQe dal. , '
Brower has already joined the Nats
and Griff is using him in the outfield
to break him in. With Joe Judge do
ing about the sweetest, first-sacking
In Johnson's circuit, there Isn't much
chance for the slugging recruit' to
break In there, so Griff may make
a third baseman out of him.
But Brower Isn't the only minor
leaguer Griffith has roped into his
circus tent. He has bought 11 so far,
and Is still looking them over. The
outlay cost him $50,000.

CORNELL TO GO IX ACTION OX
OCTOBER 2.
Washington Trainer of Champions
Has Stiff Schedule of Mid
Season Games.
ITHACA. N. T., Sept. 11. (Spelal.
The first football game 1-Lsted for
the Cornell eleven under the new.
regime of Gllmour Doble. former
coach of the University of "A'ashlng
ton and the navy squads. Is on
schedule for October 2. The Uni
versity of Rochester will furnish the
opposition.
The -Red and White warriors will
answer the call to the moleskins on
Monday which should give them ample
time to get sufficient training before
the opening of the season. .
To many football fans, regardless
of their college Interests, the Cornell
year will be of unusual interest be
cause of the fact that Dobie's secord
of turning out unbeaten teams is
practically phenomenal. While the
Ithacans' schedule does not call for a
great number of Important games this
fall, there are several that are always
of Interest. Cornell plays the first
five games of the reason at home,
those with Rochester on October 2,
St. Bonaventure. October 9; Union,
October IS; Colgate, October 23, and
Rutgers on October 30. The following
week the Red and White is scheduled
to play Dartmouth at the Polo grounds
in New York. Columbia will meet
Cornell in Ithaca on November 13
and the annual game with Pennsyl
vania will be played on Franklin
field in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving
day.
Cornell has a stiff schedule begin
ning the middle of her season, with
games against Colgate, Rutgers, Dart
mouth, Columbia and Pennsylvania in
successive weeks. The season is be
gun sufficiently late, however, to en
able Coach Dobie to have his eleven
in good form soon after the opening
games. For the first time in recent
years spring football practice was
held in Ithaca last April and May and
the squash of 60 candidates who have
been" called back for early practice
will be ready to commence scrimmag
ing early.

THYE STARTS DUTIES
COAHG VVRESTLlf.G
Grapplers of Multnomah Club
to Be Taught.
i'ME OUT" IS GRANTED
'dleweight to Be Permitted to
Continue With Matches Bull
Montana to Be Met.
Ted Thye. middleweight wrestler
has taken up his duties as the
wrestling instructor at the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club, but
will not necessarily give up the
grappling game, as his contract with
the Winged "M" institution gives him
the right to take "time out" sev
eral times a month to defend his
laurels. Many a grappler would wel
come a position behind which he
could plead too much work to keep
irom defending his crown, but such
not the case with Ted. who is
illing to meet any man at his
weipht or near his weight in the
world.
Thye is one of the few men in
the wrestling game whose name has
nor been mixed up In some kind of
deal or other during his career.
The fact that Thye's name was ab
solutely free from all taint was one
of the principal reasons why the
trustees of. the Multnomah club de
cided upon him as the .Winged "M"
instructor to succeed Eddie O'Connell.
12 Matches Had at Spokane.
Although Portland always has been
Thye's place of residence, most of
his time has been spent either in
Spokane or various cities throughout
the country, where he has established
his right to the undisputed claim of
the world's middleweight title. Last
season the new Winged "M" instruc
tor took part in 12 matches in Spo
kane alone. The total "gate" at the
first contest reached less than SS00.
Thye's last engagement drew nearly
,4000.
Because of the scarcity of good
middlewelghts in this part of the
country, Thye has had to meet light-
heavyweights and even heavyweights
the last two years and it can be said
to his credit that only two of these
"big boys" were able to throw him.
On September 27 Thye is slated to
meet Sam Clapham. the English light-
heavyweight champion, in Los An
geles. Not so many months ago it
took Earl Caddock. claimant of the
heavyweight wrestling title, nearly
two hours to pin the Englishman's
shoulders to the floor in a match in
Boston. Last week Clapham tossed
Bull Montana two out of three falls
in the Angel city, so Thye will be
bucking something real tough.
The first week in October, Thye
will meet Bull Montana, another
well-known flight - heavyweight. In
Spokane. He is always open to the
middlewelghts but they do not seem
to like his game.
Butler Plana Matches.
Mike H. Butler, known for years
as a champion of amateur and clean
professional sports, i planning on
staging a series of matches here
this season with Thye meeting the
best men in the country, who can
be prevailed upon to try conclusions
with Ted. There are many fans in
Portland who like' clean wrestling
and would welcome some real tussles.
By wrestling here it would be much
more convenient for Thye as he
could keep up with his classes and
not miss a day.
Thye's duties at Multnomah club
are proving to his liking and he ex
pects great success in his new asso
ciations.
He won the middleweight title
from Walter Miller here and would
much prefer taking part In his
matches in a local arena.

TIGER STAR ADVISES PLAYERS
TO START TRAINING EARLY
Most Glaring Fault of Pacific Coast Teams, Says Morse, Is Their
Fumbling: Individual Should Practice During Off Season,
; I .
BY . FRANKLIN B. MORSE.
Former Princeton and All-American Half
back. rr-lHE football player who expects to
1
get the most good out of the
came for himself and, at the
same time give to his university team
the best that is in him, is not await
ing the call of his coach before be
ginning his preparations for the fall
campaign. There is a rule which for
bids college teams to begin prepara
tory practice before a certain time,
the idea being that all teams should
get an even start. There is. however,
nothing which prevents the individual
candidate for football honors from un
dertaking preparatory work on his
own hook and if he is a wise player
he will not allow the opportunity to
slip by. Every football man who ex
pects to try for his team should, at the
present moment, be at work preparing
himself.
If -the question is asked. "What do
you consider the one paramount es
sential that every football player
should haver the answer would be:
"The ability to handle the ball ab
solutely without chance of ever fum
bling." Nothing can be more impor
tant. More games probably have been
won and lost because of fumbling than
any other reason
It stands to reason that the only
way in which a player will become
thoroughly imbued with the "feel" of
the ball is by constant handling of it.
and for this reason he should right
now be familiarising himself with it.
The most glaring fault of Pacific
coast teams has been their loose han
dling of the ball. It has been com
mon to see a dozen fumbles in the
course of a single important game.
Individual players make as many of
these fumbles in the course of one
game as they should in an entire
season.
I have known football players who
have gone through their entire foot
ball career with only one or two fum
bles charged up against them. Merely
to cite an example and without any
attempt at bragging, the writer was
one of these. During four years on
the Princeton university team I fum
bled twice. Once against the West
Point tam, which resulted In their
getting a touchdown. Fortunately,
Princeton had such a commanding
lead that it did not figure in the
final result. Again in a game against
but had it not been tie score would
cess for the past three seasons, is
seriously considering a number of re
quests to act as referee or umpire
in many of the Important football
games of "the northwest. Reynolds
has not yet decided whether he will
accept any of the offers but hie many
friends here are of the opinion that
his resignation as coach of the La
Grande teams was the preliminary
move towards officiating.

Olympic Games Give Opportunity
to American Experts Who Rap
idly Reach Front.
One of the outstanding features of
the Olympic games swimming at Ant
werp was the success of both men
and women swimmers who were new
to competitive swimming. Tr. names
of such men as Duke Kahanamoku.
Norman Ross, Perry McGilivray and
others are world famous and have
been for years, but many other mem
bers of the American team nave
placed their name in international
competition for the first time. -
Take the cases of E. T. Bolden of
Illinois. Pua and Warren Kealoha of
Honolulu; W. Harris, also of Hono
lulu, and F. Kahele, registered from
Los Angeles, who have scored points.
and each one is virtually a new com-,
petitor within the last few montha.
Their names were not known outside
their immediate vicinity until the
various- American trials were held
and they stand In the International
hall of fame. -
The world knew of such men as
Kruger, for Instance. In the back
stroke, but it did K"t know of Warren
Kealoha of Honolulu, who won the
event, or of Ray Kegris of Los An
geles, who played In the same event.
The world knew of Mike ' McDermot
of Illinois in the breast Btroke, but it
did not know of Jack Howell of San
Francisco, who placed in these events.
The success of Duke Kahanamoku
was another outstanding feature of
the games. He has been in the
world's eye for ten years and has
easily proved himself as the greatest
100-meteV swimmer in the world. The
average competitive life of any ath
lete does not run to ten years, and
Kahanamoku's performance is there
fore considerably beyond the ordi
nary. Such old-time champions as
the Cavlll brothers of Australia, of
Daniels of this country, of Hodgson
of Canada, of Kiernan of Australia,
of Nuttall. Tyers. Derbyshire of Eng
land cannot point to the same re
mark a Me record of longevity of in
ternational competition of Duke Ka
hanamoku. and even Norman Ross
does not appear to have the long com
petitive life that the Duke has shown.
Probably the only previous swim
mer who can be measured up in the
class With Kahanamoku is J. H. Der
byshire of England, who ruled su
preme in Great Britain from 1897 to
1908. but then this man never en
gaged in the same serious interna
tional competition that Kahanamoku
has been called'on to do.
Fanny Durack, the former Olympic
woman champion, has had her name
before the public of the world since
1912. but she has long since been a
