Harvard's Got New Physical Giant


1915

All the Harvard college boys crowd around these days at every opportunity to look Albert J. Weatherhead over. Weatherhead's the new strong man of the institution and all the ambitious athletes take off their hats to him. He has just been elected captain of the 1915 Harvard wrestling team and already he's showing great results. His prowess was recognized when he first appeared on the Cambridge campus. As a member of this year's Crimson football squad, he demonstrated time and time again he's got brain as well as brawn. The picture shows Weatherhead wrestling with James B. Brannan, captain of the Harvard 1914 wrestling team and a member of this year's team. Weatherhead is standing up.
