...setting of the action in an instant, so that everything, the ship-wreck, the escape by aeroplane, the hanging of the villain, all take place before our very eyes, is undeniably the most effective means of presenting those stories of action which depend for their chief interest on the interplay of incident. To put William S.

...trouble with him, or rather the system, was that he could neither kick nor throw the forward pass; every one knew that when the went back a run was forthcoming. The great weapon of the kick-formation threat is versatility on the part of the protagonist and the perfect interplay of line and backfield.

Accompanying this article are a new full page portrait of Mr. Lowell, engraved by T. Johnson, and a brief article by Joel Benton, introducing...
