ing up the line to direct this defens
iveswltch. Gel g was easily one of
the best defensive players and all
around backs In college ranks and he
fitted In perfectly with the Brooke
defensive system.
Brooke s offensive play has always
been built around a good, punter. A
punter is generally a team's greatest
defensive asset, but Brooke always
makes thl« one department aid both
offense and defense.
The new Penn coach Is a great be
liever in short, snappy plays, just
outside tackle, mixed In with wide
end running from kick formation.
When Brooke was first elected coach
of the Penn team many followers of
football and persons who are antag
onistic to the Red and Blue raised the
howl that Brooke, being a member of
the Racquet club and many other big
clubs, would cause the old frat to be
renewed.
Such Is not the case, however.
Brooke is a level-headed man who
knows what it is to toil for a living.
George was born about 12 miles out
side of Washington. D. <7., and his
early life was anything but an easy
one. George came of one of the best
families In that locality, but hts par
ents were of the old stock and {w
lleve* that work wae the best thing
sos anybody.
Although it waa hardly necessary,
Brooke earned enough money to pay
hla own way through college and to
open up law' offices in this city after
graduating fro mPenn. After four or
five years at law, Brooke went Into
the insurance business. He is still
in tha same busineee and la highly
successful.
Aside from being a football player.
Brooke «s« and is still a great all
round athlete. He ft at present on*?

entire country.
BroOke waa famous for hla kicking

The national commission probably

Larry McLean figures the esse he
will lay before the moguls. Larry sat
up nights figuring how he came out
on the transfer from the St. Louis
Cardinals to the Giants which got
him Into the big show In October.
The only anewer Larry can figure out
Is that it cost him SSO. And at that
McLean led the Giants In batting
against the Athletics, and he took
Chief Meyers’s place behind the bat
In all bat the first game, when the
Chief was Injured.
McLean was given $750 as his share
of the money received by the Giants
from the series. But the St. Louis’
management promised Larry a bonus

out the season. Larry kept to the
straight and narrow, but Mrs. Brit
ton passed the buck on the payment
IF GD. RAPIDS IS ONLY HALF AS. GAME
Dinnie Upton Had to Learn to Walk Again After One Football Injury
AS COACH IT'LL FIGHT ALL THE WAY
If the Grand Rapids high school football team, which meets Detroit central for the state championship
at the Eh A. C. field Saturday, is half as game as its coach, Dtnnie Upton, it will fight the Central gang to
the last ditch.
Upton has been coaching Grand Rapids Central for two years. In that time he has won one champion
ship and comae to Detroit for what will probably be the final game in the championship series this year, de
fending his title against Detroit.
Dlnnie proved hla consummate gameneee when he was a member of the Olivet college football squad
before he began coaching. Upton made an ond position. He was considered light for the Job but his aggressive
spirit kept him on the Job while heavier but more sluggish men decorated the aide lines.
Upton first made the team in the fall of 1910, when the famous Toots Hall was coaching. From this
farmer-coach Uptdn got that sort of Instruction and that sort of fighting spirit that made Olivet feared through
out the state. . »
In one of the final games of the season the contest with M. A. C., Dlnnie got a bad kick in the bark
of the neck from a Detroit boy. Vaugh. He waa carried from the field and for a month he lay in a hospital,
almost entirely paralysed. It waa thought for a long time that Upton would never be able to leave his cot.
Something was wrong with his spinal column—BUT IT WASN’T YELLOW.
When Upton was finally able to leave his bed, he found that one side of his body was almost useless,
still being paralysed. He tried to walk but he couldn’t. He was like a babe. He didn’t know what to do with
his feet or how to do it.
HE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO WALK ALL OVER AGAIN.
For some time hla paralysed side refused to respond. Finally, it began to loosen up. After a lot of
effort Dt«nle again learned to walk and then to run.
The following year he waa out playing football again. Today he is coaching the high school champions
of Michigan.
Upton is a Muskegon man. After leaving Olivet college he waa lured from Musjmftn to Grand Rapids
and he immediately coached a foot bay team Into taking the championship away from the Muskles. Grand Rapids,
Muskegon and Detroit were the three contenders for the honor last season, as they are this.
