ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
TEE END OF THE sEAsoN-How THE
ALL-AMERICA ELEvENs SHOULD
BE MADE UP.

The football season Of 1900 was wound up in
AnnapOlis's unexpected triumph over the West
Point eleven az Philadelphia on December ].
The game was loosely played. yet owing 20 the
clossness with which the teams were matched
ana tie evenness OF their work, the struggle
proved 20 be the most interesting and exciting
one OF the year. An the previous so-called big
games OF the season had been won ard lost
by such large scores that the result not
in question long after the a-st few minutes Of
play Look al the scores made in the Harvard
Pennsylvania, PrincetOn-Yale. Harvard-Y Yale
and the Pennsylvania-cornell games. and ihis
fact may be noted at a glance. In the contest
however. between the two Government acade-
mics the final result in doubt almost to the
last momert. At the end OF the first half the
Army were ahead and the Naval cadets
had 70 start in for the last half OF the struggle
and play an uphill game which finally led 20
victory. There was the best sort Of crowd on
hand 10 watch the struggle. and the attendance
was probably a trihe larger than it had been
at any other game OF the season. The intense
interest which the close contest aroused and
ehs character OF the supporters on either side
made the game q brilliant spectacle and
fitting climax 10 the season.
The habit OF formulating an All America
eleven has been growing Of late years upon
every lover OF the game OF football and every
man that takes more than a passing interest
IN the work OF the leading college teams. In
picking out what my idea is this year OF
All America eleven. ana also OF a second team
made up OF the next best candidates have
thought il best to eliminate entirely the West
ern college teams. The standard Of play in
the Middle West this year has. 1t would appear,
been hardly 80 high as ii was last year. Whether

he realizes about the best there Is In American
college sport to-day. I should pick him also Tor
captain Of the first All America team, though

For the centre Of the line II is rather a tough
problem TO decide. Wright, Of Columbia, gets
the preference He played at guard more than
he did at centre this season. but with two such
at his side Hare and Brown he could
readily be moved back TO centre and do the
Job better than any one else on the gridiron-
Quarterback goes to Daily, Of Harvard.
While he was in poor shape in the Yale game
and did not do the work that was expected. still
his all seasons play was superb and his field

While a moose was killed last year In the Adiron-

hunters there that the moose driven out Of
this State years ago and have not returned. The
killed may have escaped from a private pre-

CoLUMBIA FOOTBALL UNpRoFITABLE

Despite a schedule Of more big games than any

stead Of the expected gain OF $4,000 according to
approximate reports furnished yesterday by Sidney

Therefore pick out men from the colleges east
OF the Allegheny Mountains. Moreover. I do
not take into account the work OF the Carlisle

was unmatched. In handling the ball from the
snapback and forming interference. IN punting
and drop kicking. and in receiving punts and
running them back, he fairly unequalled
by any one else on the field. Fincke, of Yale.
played more brilliantly I'm the Harvard game
than Daily did by good deal, but that was
the only contest in which Ftncke showed
irony of fate that so brilliant a player as DAILY
and so good captain should go down TO the
worst defeat that a Harvard team has received
in sixteen or seventeen years.
BACK OF THE LINE.
There viii be many differences OF opinion as
to the choice OF halfbacks My first choice on
the whole would be Weeks. OF Columbia who is
an absolutely fearless player great end runner
fine hurdler and first rate on the defence. Put
Weeks behind a rush line like Yae's, and he
would have made a wonderful record. Sawin.
OF Harvard, deserves the other halfback posi-
ton on the whole. though many men will
doubtedly say it belongs TO Chadwick Sharpe
OF Yale. But Sharpe's work throughout the sea-
son was away below par. except when it came to
the Harvard game. and he hardly deserves a
place on the All America team simply because
OF his good work in that struggle. SawIn
is good at both bucking the line and end run
ming, though the latter perhaps is his chief
forte. With two such swift end runners as he
and Weeks are the line bucking could be safely
left TO those vO great tackles and to Hale OF
Yale who is fullback par excellence. Sawin
would do the punting. DAILY would do the drop
kicking and Hals would do the line bucking
At this particular work he is probably the
greatest fuIlback that ever played, with the pos
slble exception Of ButterwOrth OF Yale. He
does not get his head down much, but gets-his
distance, and that is the object of the game
The selections for the second All-America
eleven will probably be open to still greater
differences of opinion, for outside of the very
leaders there are a host Of good men who have
claims 10 positions on the second best team. On
the whole, the game OF football has gone for
ward steadily this season, and the play has
been cleaner and more sportsmanlike than
ever before. The outlook for another year is
fun OF promise SIDEIINE
New-York tribune., 1900-12-09

good many Yale men think that the Yale
team OF 1900 is just about the best All America
team that could be picked out II certainly
was a superb aggregation. yet its chief value
lay IN its wonderful team work. There is no
reason TO doubt that If several OF the positions
on the Yale eleven had been Allied with men OF
even greater ability. a stronger team could have
been developed. and the various games OF the
season showed that there We're considerable
number OF other and more brilliant individual
performers. I give TO Harvard one OF the end
rush positions IN HalloweH. Many critics think
that Harvard deserves both OF the end rush
places. or. II only one is 20 be granted that
Campben should be the man. But in the Yale
game campbelrs work was below his standard
by a good deal. and Hallowen did an immense
amount OF work. II Halloweu had been backed
up with the assistance OF one of those Yale
tackles. his game would have shown out far
and away ahead OF any end rush on the grid
iron this season. ] give the place at the other
end OF the line 10 Coy. OF Yale, though there is
grave question 10 whether ne deserves IL
Gould. OF Yale, did perhaps steader work
throughout the season and made a clever touch
down against Princeton but Coy.s play came up

fairly entitled to the job.
A WONDERFUL YALE PAIR.
For the tackle positions IL is 10 10 1 on both
SULLIVAN and BlOomer. Of Yale. and no takers.
both these men realised this year the ideal OF
the tackle position. They were wonderful AT
breaking up interference. simply smothering an
OF Princetonis efforts. and knoeking Hsryara's
strong interference 10 pieces. Then. when n
came 10 rushing with the ball they were amaz-
insly strong. In both the Princeton ana Rar-
ward games they bore a large amount OF tha
Dfunt OF this work. Stillman when he begsn
