BERRY GREETS JIM THORPE

University of Pennsylvania Marvel Meets Famous Indian—Both Took Up Same Sports. Two of the greatest athletes of modern times clasped hands in admiration of one another recently. One was Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian, and the other was J. Howard Berry, the University of Pennsylvania marvel. Thorpe, when a student at Carlisle, won the Olympic decathlon and pentathlon, in 1912, and during the last three years Berry has won the Ameri-

can pentathlon championship, held In connection with the Penn relay carnival. Both athletes specialized in the same branches of sport while at college. Berry has always been a great admirer of Thorpe.
