Ever since Katy Gartersnap won the national exspectoriat
ing derby you've been hearing that an athletic hero has to
measure up to certain standards. To heck with the Granges,
Sinkwiches, and Hillenbrands we want to tell you about some
real heroes.
Such grid greats as Jimmy Beam and Tommy Collins, the
heroes of THE Fame, would change the entire complexion of
the gridiron map if they had been permitted to finish their
careers.
We refer first to the case of Jimmy Beam. Pow-wow '07,
who gained yards of newspaper publicity every time he carried
the ball. Beam was a big youth who never played football in
high school. Instead he specialized in rugby, golf and gold
panning in the wild hills outside
Beam entered Pow-wow State Teachers college and was
immediately put on the team by his uncle, who by chance was
grid coach. His career thereafter was marked by hairbrcath
gallops, bullet passes, savage
His grid career came to a frigid climax on a windswept field in
1908 when he led his mates to an 86-0 victory over Notre Dame.
He was described as the greatest gritlder since Buckwheat of
Hay Center.
Only difficulty with B?am
up to the standards fate had set
straws in the street in front of his home when a steam roller
ran over him. As the local police slid him under his mother's
door, it became evident that his
Our boy; Tommy Collins made a name for himself as the
greatest passer of his area. His famous floater toss which en
abled him the pivot to center
ing linemen, and trot down under the ball still ranks with tne
Eieht Wonders of the world.
One famous Collins feat which has never been forgotten
occurred against Siwash in '09. There he tossed his famous
floater pass over the entire
the fifty-yard stripe to autograph a Geisha gal's chapeau and
caught his own toss over the goal line.
