ROOM MA TES A T PENN
DIE IN U.S. SERVICE
Kissing and Collins, Pals
for Three Years, Meet
Death as Student 'Avia
tors in Camps
FLIER-ATHLETES LOST
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK
CLASSMATES, roommate, fraternity
brothers nnd pals for three ear at
the University of Pennsylvania, Arthur
T. Hissing and Herbert Collins, two bovs
prominent In the athletic and academic
activities of the class of 1918, both have
given their II en In the service.
The two chums who were Inseparable
on the campus and In the classroom en
listed together In the aviation service
almost a vear ago, but neither was called
to the colors until after the class had
been graduated.
Karly In October. Kissing, who had
been president of his class, died of In
fluenza at a flying camp In Texas His
bodv was sent North, and the funeTal
was held from the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs A. J. Kissing, 5508 Whitby
iivenue. Collins, who was at the same
etttip. was detailed as military guard
for the bodv. Ho was one of the pall-
I bearers at the funcial
Water Polo Star
Yesterday came the news of Collins'
death from nn airplane accident at
Tark Field. Memphis. Tex. He was cap
tain of last ear's water po!oteam at
Cenn, which was one of the best In the
history of the sport under Coach
Cieorge Klstler.
The two were Identical In disposition,
cheery, witty and carefree. In Collins
was bred the essence of courage, and he
proved It In many a hard-fought water
nolo game. Slight of build, he out-
i played every opponent mainly through
his unlimited amount or sand. i.e"y
water nolo coach In the Kast rated him
I as the best collegiate player In the
game
Kissing did not take part In athletics,
but he was one of the controlling grad-
I uate figures In the maragement of sports.
I He was one of the student representa
tives on the University council on ath
letics and also an undergraduate mem
ber of the board of directors of the ath
letic association
I Fraternity Brothers
He stood for radical changes In Ihe
policy of athletic government, nnd ho
I had the power and cojrage to back up
his ponvlctlons. Collins and Kissing were
iiiemoers or tne Aipna rau omega fra
ternity. Besides Collins, five other piomlnent
Penn athletes bave died in the aviation
service The first to pass Into the great
beyond was Arthur La Plimme, a broad.
Juniper several years ago, who died of
Influenza at the naval aviation school In
Boston Carl Glanz, an oarsman, also
succumbed to the epidemic while at a
fljlng camp at Florida.
Three others were killed In airplane
.accidents They were Harry Ross, iho

of Colliers Kxen though By Dickson
raL, '",,"'a!"s of All-Amerlcan
caliber on hi Leaguo Island team.
Camp lias selected but one Budd, a
guard for his mjthlc.il team.
Walter Camp was n spectator at the
game between League Island and Camp
Hancock at Franklin Field. Bert Yeabs
Icj s clashing cuts off tackle, Rus
Haehl's speedy shoots off end, Pard
Pierce's wide runs, however, all failed
to Impress the famous Yale coach
Berry on Third Team
Hul It Is Impossible for every one to
be pleased with a selection of an AU
Anierlcan team, so the League Island
admirers can console themselves with
the news that even such a star as
Kverett Mruppcr, of.Ueorgla Tech fame
Is given but a second team berth, while
our own peerless Howard ".'lg" Berry.
I honored more or less w 1th a halfback
position on the third team.
In his review Camp states' "The

"Some Game" Is Right
.IlsI think of these two teams facing
each other! Think of the brilliancy of
the two bnckflelds Driseoll, De Hart,
Hoban and Brlckley against Murray,
Dalles, Roberts and Meketee. Bachman,
of (Ireat Iaikes, would have n glorious
struggle against Day, of Georgia Tech,
at center; ltutlie rlnncl. the old Pllts-
burgh placr. would find bis match hi
Alexander, of .S rnruse. but B'Udd, one of
By Dickson s most adept puplK would
meet n Taitar In Pen of Annapolis;
Bentz, good ns he Is, would find more
than a handful nt tackle In the 103
pound Usher, of Sracuse, while Black
lock would certainly be very busy facing
nnd blocking Hilt, Pittsburgh's best
lineman
Tom Thorp would back his 'Woodruff
against Hobeson of Kutgers. though It
Is doubtful If he could handle the big
fellow without help from Bentz; but the
coist followers of the sport would have
to be shown If .Imnierm.ip d'd not get
nwny with Hoppei, of Pennslvanla, at
the other end
Altogether It would be a inre treat
for football followers
