Rub e hh bi ill E OWN the long line of Loyal Sons of Old Queen's there have been scores and scores of athletes, scores of great athletes. To pick out the greatest of the great would be a tremendous task for any one man or group of men, for it would require hour after hour of careful research through the athletic records of the University to arrive ar a definite choice which the majority of Rutgers alumni, students and friends would agree upon. Athletic greatness may be measured by many methods and judged by many and various circum- stances, thus making the task more diflicult. But in choosing a myth- ical Athletic Hall of Fame, we have selected as our main basis of consideration the amount of service and honor rendered to the college by various wearers of the Scarlet-service and honor rendered by them on the athletic field. No undergraduate is capable of making such a choice, for there is none that has any idea of the great deeds performed on the athletic field by the decades of Rutgers men that have preceded him. Fully realizing this, the editors of the SCARLBT Lerran went to the alumni for help in the task, and assembled a group of six graduates who have been supporters of Rutgers and Rutgers athletics for years, men who have not only studied their contemporaries but have also made themselves familiar with the older athletic chronicles of the college. This Committee of Six, working individually, chose sixteen names for the Athletic Hall of Fame, their votes being practically unanimous on each name. We take pride in publishing the names of the Committee of Six, whose selections of the greatest Rutgers athletes are printed in the following pages: Philip M. Brett, '91g Richard C. Rice, '08, H. Richard Segoine, '08, Earl Reed Silvers, '14, Arthur C. Busch, '15, and Harry J. Rockafeller, '16, In the pages that follow we have endeavored to record the athletic accomplishments of some of Old Queen's most loyal sons, and to show how and why these men were designated as the ones who have done most for Rutgers athletically. ?.......,.,..........k......... ..,..,.-.. ...... ,....t..................,-...T .
