that Hillebrand opened up that the Princeton
backs bucked their way. To Wallace at the
other tackle position 1t is probable few would
accord the honor OF a place on the All-Ameri-
ca team yet he was one Of the few stars on
the Quaker eleven this year. and he showed that
fact beyond peradventure. In the Harvard game

CLOSE THING AT GUARD
! give. as last year, the first guard position
| to Hare. captain Of the Pennsylvania team, who
| showed himself the best all around man on any
| varsity rush line. His work at all times was
simply heroic. and the defence In the Har-
ward game he probably saved two touchdowns
! against his team. He was called upon again
and again 10 rush with the ball. and never
| spared himself. Under kicks he was down with
! the end rushers and frequently before. and he
was all over the field tackling, rushing and In
variably proving the man for the opportunity
| Then. too he did all the place kicking for the
| eleven and at times a large amount OF the
! punting. No one will gainsay him place on
the AnAmerica eleven.
For the other guard position pick out Brown,
| the Yale man. who is as steady as clock and
|
| close thing between him and Captain Edwards.
| OF Princeton. but Brown. l think. has the call.
! The way I'm which Brown broke through the
line in the game against Princeton was some
| thing remarkable. especially considering the
splendid that played opposite him. There
were not a few kicks that the giant Yale guard
I came near blocking. and II was his work that
! finally did block the kick which resulted In
Yale's touchdown. Brown the most trust
worthy man on the team. In spite OF the fact
/ that he was not in the best of health part OF
the season he was head and shoulders above
the rest Of the rush line. and is the only man

Centre position Is toss up. but on the whole
/ think that Booth. OF Princeton. is entitled to
the place He was entitled TO II last year. and
his work this year. while not good i'm the
early season, improved constantly toward the
! end He was magnificent on the defence and
far more eager and aggressive on the offence
than ever before. He knows the complicated
duties OF the centre rush position well. and he
is my first choice for this place on the ALI
America team. With Brown on one side and
Hare on the other. think what a centre trio that
would make

and while this year he not so evidently
superior to some OF the other leading quarter
backs as last year. still he IL entitled 10 the
position. and he also has well won his cap
taincy.
For the two halfback positions there are half
dozen-yes, almost eight ten--men who all
have we'll founded claims for place. Out OF
them all pick Sawin. OF Harvard and Sharpe
