Schiller was an idealist in the true meaning of the word, continued Mr. Thayer, having as his aim an ideal which should help all mankind, a supreme love of liberty.

Starr, who replaced him in the second half, handled the team well, and proved in every way a reliable and competent quarterback. Sperry did all the kicking, but was not very successful. In most cases his punts lacked distance and were not high enough...
