THIS GARY ATHLET

T

Bernard Szold, DePauw's Crack Football Palyer, Home on Vacation How a Plugger Made Good in Sport World. From the place cf the underdog to the pinnacle of success in athletics is the story of Bernard Szold. one of the greatest athletes ever turned out by any Lake county school. His spectacular showing in his first year of college football at Del'auw university this season has earned for him recognition throughout the middlcwest and more than a half dozen of the most prominent schools have offered Szold enticing rrospects If he would inae their school his alma mater. Szold won place on the DePauw varsity in a hurry. One night in a scrimmage he was put on the scrubs and startled the head cof ch by crossing the varsity goal seven times. From then on he played with the varsity. His amazing skill in zig-zag field running eat DePauw's opponents time after time. Szold's college Lad Its most Successful season this year since it entrance in the gridiron sport. DePauw did not lose a game this year, the Indiana contest was forfeited to them. 2 to 0. bocause the state school played two ineligible men. Turdue, Waash, Rose Poly and St. Louis all fell before the Methodists. , Mentioned Por All-State. Substantial rumors say that the star, formerly of Emerson high school, Gary, has been mentioned for all-state halfback on the college honorary eleven. His consistent ground gaining, kicking and super defensive play will probably earn him one of the coveted positions.! Siold A Plngger. j Undoubtedly Bernard Szold is the greatest star ever turned out by ihe Gary schools. Unlike many of the stars xvho are helped along. Szold won his place in the hall of fame by his sheer nerve and grit. No one deserves credit for Szold's sticcess but Szold himself. It has been his unswerving push and "get-therc-ness" that has realized for him success. In 1912 he first "tried out" for an Emerson team. He was looked upon as a "likely" but few encouraged him as ninny a more popular student has been. Then one year Szold won out honor for Gary, and another and another, lie did this and he did -that. In f-ict S;-.nld wa. the whole tiling. During his last two years at Emerson he wa3 lionized. Szold was the king of Gary athletes. Not content with high school athletics lie was taken to Chicago by Director George Pinneo of Gary T. M. C. A. to participate in the big field meets. There his name became an honored one for Szold is a star to be feared on the track. Besides the track and gridiron Szold has starred in the Bwimmtng tank, on the basketball floor nd during his first years at Emerson school he won the Lake County Oratorical contests. His senior year saw him at the head of the school paper, the Emersonian, and the most popular studentathlete in Gary. His unusual pluck and scrap through the years when he was "just a plugger" has more than proven him worthy of the title Lake county's greatest athlete. Is Home Tor Beet. "Bud", as he is commonly known to friends, is home on Turkey day vacation. After a strenuous start at college he is resting before taking 'tip training with the varsity track team on which he has been picked to run the 220 and 4 40 yard spurts and the broad jump. He will return to school Sunday evening.
