THRILLS IN SPORT
By Dr. John B. C. Eckstorm, Columbus Boxing Commission Physician. I've had a good many thrills in sports from the days when I was playing at Dartmouth, through my coaching career at Ohio State and down to the present as physician for the boxing commission. But a football game over at Champaign, 111., in 1920, furnished me with the best kick of them all, I believe. Dr. W. S. Van Fossen and I made the trip together. We were sitting down at one end of the field beyond the goal posts. They weren't very choice seats, and we crabbed about it a good deal through the game because all the playing seemed to be at the other end of the field. Added to that, there was a red-hot Illinois rooter seated just back of us. He fairly deafened our ears with his whooping, and kept us continually wanting to shoot him with his wisecracks. Then, after a game in which the two teams seemed evenly matched, Workman suddenly tossed a perfect pass to Truck Myers, and we had a touchdown and won 7 to 0. Not only that, but the play was made right in front of us. A judicious bet paid the freight for the trip, and the pest behind us was shut up. It was the end. of a perfect day for me.
On February 20 Fritz Robbert found his office in the United States Trust Company at 45 Wall St., New York, bedecked with a mass of flowers. On this day he had completed twenty-five years' service with the bank, for the past several years as vice-president and comptroller. on that same evening Fritz was tendered a dinner by the bank, the executives, officials, and officers to the number of more than 200, at which he was presented with several valuable gifts. This was the second time in the history of the bank that a dinner was given by it in honor of one of its officials, the other dinner having been given to Fritz also when he became an officer of the Trust Company.
