ALLEN ALL-AROUND ATHLETE

Player From Georgia Tech Making Good With Brooklyn—Probably Play in Outfield. «•■ ■ - Horace Allen, the new player with the Superbas, was fullback last year on the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football team. He thinks he is a first baseman or catcher, but your Uncle Wilbert Bobinson is likely to make an outfielder of him. Allen has all the earmarks of an athlete. . He stands about six feet,, has big hands and can think quickly. Also, he is willing to learn and has no foolish notions about being a ready-made star. He keeps an ear cocked all the time for tips from the older players. When he hears a caustic comment on a play from a veteran or Uncle Wilbert he jots it down as a point for future reference.
