Anecdotes of Famous Yale Athlete Reveal Traits of Innate Honesty and Enthusiasm for Development of American Youth Was Responsible for Building System at New Haven. JBy Universal Service to The Times. NEW YORK, March 14. Walter Camp's death in his hotel room today while the football rules committee was in session and wondering at the prolonged absence of one of the most famous and indefatigable of its members. added another to the list of great figures in pport of which the'year has taken toll.

It was not until 11 o'clock this morning that W. R. Okeson. who was making the notes Camp usually made dealing with the changed phraseology of the rules, became worried. The greatest of the old-timers had left the meeting at a little after midnight on Friday and was due to return at 9 o'clock this morning.

The other members of its committee agreed with Okeson that it was time to look him up. E. W. Roper, Princeton's head coach, went to the Hotel Belmont, and. getting no response, had the door broken in.

lie found the famous Yale man dead in bed. The session of the committee was hurried to a close. "No." said Okeson. "there was nothing to indicate that there was anything the matter, and we expected to hare Mr. Camp with us practically indefinitely.

"He was famous for the condition in which he kept himself and his PITTSBURGH'S leaders of intercollegiate athletics were shocked late yesterday when the news was flashed from New York City that Walter Camp had been found dead In his room at the Belmont Hotel. In the many years that Mr. Camp was the leader of football he had made many friends from Western Pennsylvania and had always been a keen observer of the rapid strides the gridiron game made here. The Pittsburgh district, Mr. Camp once declared, was one of the most progressive football centers in the country, especially so during the reign of Glenn S.

(Pop) Warner at the University of Pittsburgh. "Walter Camp was a wonderful character and always a good friend of Pitt's." declared Karl E. Davis. Panther graduate manager of athletics.

Notices on hand from the clubs that play one game a year and then diSr appear from vitw, but the old reliable clubs that play every year are waiting until things shape up before sending out the news. Tho most important missive at hand is the notice that Charley Gibson will handle the r. ins at Homewood tb.it season. Gibby will be surely missed by the dyed-in-the-wool fans which patronize the Homewood playgrounds when the Homewood Tresers were seen in action during the regime of the famous pilot.

Many Pittsburgh District Grid Stars Are Honored By Camp on All-America Teams ALTHOUGH until 1915. when Bob Peck, the first of Pitt's line of famous centers, was named on Walter Camp's All-America first team, the Pittsburgh area did not cut much of a figure in the selections of the "father of American football." whose sudden death yesterday shocked the sport world, the collegiate elevens in and near Pittsburgh have been signally honored since. More than a score of athletes whose names and deeds are well known here have graced the teams selected each fall by Mr. Camp in the last seven years. Peck was named at center in 1915 and 1916, while George McLaren, a teammate on the Panther eleven of 1916, was on the second team.

In 1917, the war year. Mr. Camp named a service team only, but the following fall he again awarded places to two Panthers Hilty. tackle, and Tom Davies, halfback. Pitt dropped out in 1919, but Henry of Washington, and Jefferson, Higgins of Penn State and Rodgers of West Virginia were all on Camp's first team at tackle, end and fullback, respectively.

Herb, Stein of Pitt was Mr. Camp's choice for center iu 1920, along with Charley Way of Penn State, a back, and Stan Keck, GreensDurg boy playing with Princeton, who was placed at a tackle. Stein was placed on the third team in 1921, but his brother, Russell, captain of Washington and Jefferson and one of the outstanding stars of the season, was on the first eleven at tackle. Dutch Schwab, a Western Pennsylvanian at Lafayette, and Glenn Killiner of Penn State were likewise on the first team, with Dutch Bedenk, guard, of Penn State and Tom Davies of Pitt second eleven selections. Schwab was again at guard on the first eleven in 1922.

the year in which Ed Garbisch of Washington. first appeared at center. Garbiseh won a first-team berth, dropped off to the third in 1923, and last season reappeared once more in the honor position, rounding out one of the greatest careers on the gridiron. Nineteen twenty-two also marked the selection of Charley Bowser of Pitt as second choice cen-tr, Joe Setron of West Virginia as guard and Herb Kopf, Wash-Jeff, at end on team No. 3.

Mr. Camp placed more men from the vicinity of Pittsburgh on his teams in 1923 than in any other season, no less than seven being assigned berths on his first, second and third elevens. Dutch Bedenk of Penn State was a guard on the first team; Pete MacRae of the North Side. Syracuse captain and end: Chester Widerquist. W.

J. tackle: Trusty Tallman, West Virginia end, and Harry' Wilson, Penn State halfback, were on the second eleven, and Garbisch of the Army and Karl Bohren of Pitt, center and halfback, respectively, were on the third squad. Last season Garbisch was the lone Western Pennsylvanian on the first team, but Zeke Wissinger, Pitt tackle, and Red Marian. West Virginia guard, were pnt on the third eleven. Gibson Leaves Homewood.

Charley Gibson, one of the squarest managers who ever handled a semi-pro teaxn, has tried hard for the past eight years to make both ends meet and to satisfy the fans. Without, an enclosed park was a hard proposition for Gibby, and from the calibre of the tennis which appeared in Home-wood last season, the paying of these clubs had to be. considered. Besides the payroll of the home club, Gibson brought the following teams to Home-wood last season: Beaver Kails Klks, Consumers, Scottdale, West Newton, Millvale, Jeannette, Kineview, White Autos of Cleveland, Wagner's Carnegie Klks and National Tube. Gibson has made it known that he is leaving with no regrets, as he has done more than any other manager.

Gibby loves the pastime. That is why he Iras stood the brunt which befalls a leader. In Charley's own words, he says: "I am sorry to leave the boys, but I am leaving with a good record behind, as I never was accused of stealing a player from another club or ever had one rlayer desert me since I have been manager. Ball players will not play for nothing these days and there are not enough real fans in the Homewood district to support a club." Those who did anything around the ball grounds for the benefit of the club got paid and very often $150 would be paid out before a nickel was taken in.

Since Leonard renounced a title that was estimated conservatively as being worth $100,000 a year with the statement that further competition would endanger the health of his mother, the belief has existed that he would change his mind.

Spears, coach at West Virginia University, when reached by The Gazette Times last right at Morgantown, declared that the news was so sudden that he was almost bereft of words.

"Mr. Camp has exerted a tremendous influence and a beneficial one on football and no one regrets his untimely death more than said Dr. Spears, who was well acquainted with the famous Y'ale athlete and critic. Mr. Camp has often watched Spears' West Virginia elevens on the field and was an open admirer of Spears' system and shift.

He was a credit to the sport because he. was not only big in it, but big in business, also." Football has lost its balance wheel." according to James L.

Mary's Lyceum, in a hot three-round mill which was featured bv some heavy slugging by both contestants. Perlick dropped the St. Mary battler for a count in the second round, but Burke, by sheer gamcness. kept his feet to the finish of the session. Both judges agreed on Perlick.

In the 135-pound class Mike Cimi, Wilmerding Y's new battler in the ranks of that outfit, won lots of praise from the fans when he defeated George Mazza of St. Mary's Lyceum in the final bout in this class. Cimi was forced to travel four rounds to gain the upper hand over the St. Mary battler, as the judges disagreed at the end of three rounds and Referee Jack Henderson ordered an extra round. The Wilmerding mixer sent Mazza to his knees in the fourth round for the count of four and at the end of the deciding round looked like a winner by a big margin.

The judges again disagreed and Referee Henderson Lifted Cimi's hand and declared him the winner. The officials were: Harry Little, Harry Neaman, W. J. Connors and Chester Phillips, juds; Jack Henderson and Ralph Shimon, referees; Al Duncan, timer; Fred Moonev, announcer; John T. Taylor, director of tourney.
