guard and in a year or two will make
a magnificent player.
AT center, the majority Of teams have
been rather weak this year, and Far
rell of st. Thomas appears to be the
strongest candidate for the place. He
is wiry and strong, passes the ball well
and has earned a place on the county
team. There Is a wealth of men In the
backfield to draw from. Eugene Tropp,
of the High School, is, however, first
choice for quarterback. During the
season he only played part of the time
at quarter, the remainder of his games
being at halfback. He Is naturally.
however, u quarter. and in several past
seasons has shown his ability in that
line. His most formidable opponent Is
James O'Horo. of st. Thomas. The
latter is u player of much the same
style as Tropr, and during the season
has been relied upon by his team to do
the bulk of the punting. Tropp. how
ever. Is the best all-around place and
drop kicker and punter in the county.
and therefore earns his place. He is a
sure and vicious tackler, and with II
strong line to hold back the opposing
side, is at any time liable to menace
hi. opponents goal with field kick.
Its fullback goes to Hadgins. of the
Carbondale Indians. This brilliant
player was with ST. Thomas in several
games. but nevertheless Is one of the
strongest members of the Indians, and
the fact that when the Carbondale
team lined up against the college that
he was at fullback for the former team
properly establishes the team to whiah
he rightfully belongs. He is "a hatd
line plunger ana splendid end runner,
huggins his Interference closely and
being hard to down. He is, moreover,
an excellent place kicker and good
phnter.
GENDAII. GIVEN A PLACE.
Dick Ciendal, of the Thirteenth,
takes one of the halves. This veteran
player put up a strong game at half
back for the soldier boys. and against
High School played II great game. as
did also his colleague, Gregory. Gen
dali did not do so we'll against st.
Thomas, but this was partly due TO the
inferior support given him by his COM
rades keefe of the Thirteenth. also
played we'll at half.
McAndrew. of st. Thomas. the
chunky little right halfback, will play
the other half Throughout the season
he put up Il splendid game and also did
fine defensive work. Hanson. OF the
Indians. and Beers, of Keystone, also
played fine halves.
This, then, would be the all-county
team: Ends. Harry Vaughan, High
School John Vaughan. st. Thomas;
tackles. Weissenfluh. High School, Kel-
liner, ST. Thomas; guards. Langan and
Hageerty ST. Thomas; center, Farrell.
st. Thomas: quarterback, Tropp, High
School. halves. McAndrew. Of st.
Thomas. and Gendall. of Thirteenth
regiment; fullback. Hadgins, of Car
bondale.
For line -bucking the team would be
supplied With IIangan. kelliher, Weis-
sentluh and Haggerty. who are more
than competent of ripping to pieces OPP
posing lines. Hadgins. McAndrew and
Gendall are formidable drumming
trio. ana Iladgins and Tropp will more
than attend to the kicking department
of the game.
This team would be a representative
one from the county and would ably
represent Lackawanna upon the grid
iron.
