talnS. Moreover L 90 not take INTO
account the work of the Carlisle Indi-
ans for while they put up plucky
and successful game. they are not bound
by the same eligibility rules that prevail
for the other elevens.
Here. then, is my idea of he best
AllAmerican eleven and of the second
best:
Name. Position. College.
Hallowell. Right end rush. Harvard
Stillman.. ...... Right tackle. .......... Yale
Hare. .......... Right guard. Pennsyfa
Wright. ........ Center Columbia
Brown. .......... Left guard ......... Yale
Roomer. Left tackle. .......... Yale
Coy. Left end rush.. Harvard
Daly......... Quarterback -. Harvard
Sawin. n........... Halfback 1850. Harvard
Weekes.. ........ Halfhack 49,. Columbia
Hale. Fulback .......... Yale
The second All American eleven
would be made up as follows:
Name Position. College.
Smith -. Right end rush. West Point
Lawrence. Right tackle. $50. Harvard
Sheldon ...... Right Guard ........ Yael
Sargent ........ Center ........ Harvard
Dana ....... Left Guard -. Princeton
Wallace .... Left Tackle :. Pennsylvania
Campbell :. Left End Rush Harvard
Finckle ...... Quarterback ........ Yale
Reiter ........ Halfback ...... Princeton
/ Chadwick ...... Halfback ......... Yale
Ellis ......... Fulnback ...... Harvard
For the tackle positions it is 10 to /
on both St.llman and LBloomer. of Yale
and no takers. Both these men realized
this year the ideal of the tackle posi-
tion They were wonderful ait breaking
up interference, simply smothering all of
Princetons efforts, and knocking Har-
wards strong interference to pieces.
Then when it came to rushing with the
ball. they were amazingly strong. In
both the Princeton and Harvard games
they bore a large amount of the brunt OF
| the wcrk. Stillman. when he began toot-
ball work at Yale, was weak player.
| In the game at New Haven two years ago
| which Harvard won, he was about the
| easiest mark on the New Haven team.
! His steady improvement, untM he winds
| up his football career at the top of the
| heap. is a great tribute to his persistence
ana energy. Before Bloomer, the fresh
| man, there is undoubtedly a great fu-
| ture if ne keeps up his present gait.
For the guards position it is almost
| as easy to pick out the best man as it
was for the tackles Captain Brown, of
| Yale, and Captain Hare, of Pennsyl-
vania, are easily pre-eminent at the
guard work. Everybody knows that
! Hare is wonderful player, and was
just about half of the whole work OF the
( Pennsylvania team. Whether 1T was
| blocking, rushing, opening up holes,
tackling or kicking, Hare was the main
! stay every time His reputation will en-
| dure for years. Brown, Of Yale, is just
about on the same level With him. Per-
haps not quite So brilliant an individual
player, but still immensely strong at all
| points where he should be, and as steady
| as a clock In spirit and as man he
realizes about the best there is in Ameri-
can college sport today. l Should pick
him also for captain OF the first All
America team, though 1 would have DAILY,
| of Harvard, act as field general
For the center of the line 1t is rather
tough problem to decide. Wright. of
Columli ia, gets the preference. He paaye
at guard more than he did at center this
season, but with two such men at his
side as Hare and Brown he could readily
be moved back to center and do the job
better than any one else on the grid
iron.
"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 generalshfp, which
has already been mentioned, was un-
matched. In handling the nall from the
snapback and forming interference, in
punting and drop kicking, and in receiv-
ing punts and running them back. he
was fairly unequalled Ny any one else or
the field. Fincke, of Yale played more
| bril nj in, ha ri r
Daily did by good DEAL but that was
the only contest in which Fincke showed
; his worth at that position. 1t was the
irony of fate that so brilliant player az
: Daily and so good a captain should &c
down to the worst defeat that a Harvard
team has received in sixteen or seven
2 teen years.
l There will be many differences of opin
4 ion as to the choice of haHbacks. NJ,
= first choice on the whole would be Weeks

: Sawin, of Harvard, deserves the othe

But Sharpe's work throughout the seas
: on was away below par, except when
n came to the Harvard game, and he hard
Il ly deserves a place on the ALL Americ
e team simply because of his good wor
= in that one struggle. Sawin is goo
y at both bucking the line and end run
{ ming, though the latter perhaps. is hi
chief forte. With two such swift en-
runners as he and Weeks are the lin
- bucking could be safely left to those tw
e great tackles and to Hale, of Yale, VIII
