However, it was rencrted Bell A TRYON, SHEPHERD ms STARS It has been said that Harlow developed the best defense yet devised, against the Notre Dame offense. His system of defense must be sound enough, for in the nine years of his regime at Western Maryland his teams allowed only 375 points while they were running up a total of 1,750. At Colgate he coached the great Eddie Tryon, one of the Maroon's most famous ball carriers, and at Western Maryland last fall he had Bill Shepherd; a fullback, who carried off the high scoring honors of the, nation.

Shepherd was one of the outstanding stars on the East team in' the Christmas day East- West battle in San Francisco. 20 years ago Harvard defeated a Penn State eleven which Harlow helped coach, 13-0. in a bitterly fought game. Penn State had crossed the Crimson goal line three times only to have the play called back each time as illegal. Considerable controversy followed on the heels of the game, recriminations flew back and forth.

The Harvard "Crimson" commented that it was "regrettable that such a strong team as Penn State had to suffer so much from penalties, due apparently to inadequate coaching in the fundamental technical rules of the game." Harvard's opinion of Harlow's ability as a technician and' er of football must have changed considerably in the past two decades. ccs Bobcats. fered him, if the contract failed to jcall for more than one year. Ip is known that Bell believes himself to be beyond the "experimental stage" in coaching and that there are 100 many hazards in football where the competition is as keen as it is in the Southwest Conference. Considering Simmons Post 1935 place Jimmy behind the bat.

Mack followed that announcement with the release of Charley Berry, who caught 99 games in 1924 before he fractured his leg iii Cleveland. That left only Frank Hayes, a powerful youngster who came di- recetly to the Athletics from high school. So it looks as Mack is really serious about his plans for Foxx. Jimmy joined the Athletics as a catcher'in 1925. He was sent to Providence that year but returned to Philadelphia before the season He was strictly a catcher in 1925 and 1927.

Since that time he has done no regular catching, playing almost exclusively at first base. Occasional injuries to- the regular third basemen- forced him to fill in at the hot corner now and then.
