INDIANA GETS HANNY

Athlete Was Sought by Many Leading Universities.

Aurora Youth Ha* Played High-School Football for Three Yaara—Futuro All-American End, Saya New York Papers.

There Is perhaps no young man tn the United States of greater promise as an athlete than Frank H. Hanny of Aurora, HI., who has entered Indiana university. Many of the leading universities of the country sought Hanny, and for a long time he was undecided ns to where he would attend, but finally decided to go to Indiana. Hanny has played high-school football for three years, the first year at fullback and the last two at end, where he was a wonder. He is very fast on his feet, a splendid kicker and a wizard at diagnosing and breaking up plays. The Aurora high school played the Hamilton institute of Brooklyn, N. Yat Brooklyn, nnd Hanny’s wonderful playing brought forth great praise from the sporting writers of all the New York city newspapers. Many, of the sport critics predict that he would make the All-American team, should he go to college, while all of them stated that his playing was the feature of the game. The New fork Times said: “One of the features of the game was the kicking of Hanny, Aurora right end, whose punts average more than 50 yards.

The high-school youngster punted as cleverly as any one of the college players who have been seen on the eastern gridiron this season. Hanny is a future All-American end.” The New York Tribune had this to say: “Hanny, the Aurora end, is a possible All-American man of the future. He can tackle, is clever at diagnosing plays and one of the greatest players ever seen on an eastern gridiron.” Hanny is only eighteen years old, weighs 190 pounds and is six feet tall. |He graduated from the Aurora high school last June and is an excellent student.
