CAMP TEAM GETSBUSY FOR BATTLE
The seriousness with whichCamp Ijewls footba.ll players' arelooking forward to Thursday's

IS COLLEGE FOOTBALLPLAYER MORE EFFECTIVE
THAN A PROFESSIONAL?Tales of baseball players gradu-
ating from the sand lots and be-coming stars on major leagueteams are common enough to at-tract very little attention butwhim a football star pushes hisway above the level of mediocritywithout the aHslfttance of highlyefficient coaches, trainers and theother essentials to a college foot-ball team lt« novelty is striking.
A few days ago a football gamewas played between the profes-sional teams of Masillon andAkron, 0., memberß of the OhioProfessional Football League.
On the Maxsillon team appearedthe famous Charley Brickley, oneof the greatest backs ever pro-duced at Harvard and probablythe greatest punter ami dropkicker of the decade.
Opposed to him, as the kickerfor the Akron team, was FrankNeHaer, one of the famous Nes»erbrothers of Columbus, whose edu-cation was obtained in the ma-chine shops of the Pennsylvaniarailroad at Columbus and whosefootball career was confined main-ly to games with the ColumbusPanhandles, an uncoached teamwhirh usually went on the fieldwithout a practice session.
During the time Brickley op-posed Neeser, the sand lotter out-punted the great eastern star andwon the game for Akron by adrop kick from the 43-yard line,the only score of the game.
This is not written to proveprofessional football players arebetter than the well coached col-lege stars. It is merely a state-ment of what two men did.
