The past seasons summing up in vari-
Gus lines in athletics. especially in foot
ball, is always an interesting time for
the ''pickers" and "guessers, and oft
times the result of their work is satisfac-
tory.
The sumTing-up time for football is
AL the intervening time from the last
game to the period when a new season is
at hand. This intervening period will al
ways be the sowing time for the student
OF form in this or that line of sport,
and the making up of ''All-Collegiate." or
"All-This-or-T That" team in football is
one Of the symptoms of the form stu
dents affiiction
Seriously. though, the making up of
such teams is at all times interesting to
the admirers of teams in the various sec
tions, and since most of the colleges in
this and in other sections have had their
inning, the makeup of an all-schoIastic
team Of this city is interesting.
Good Material Developed.
The series OF games played by the local
nigh schools and the Georgetown
"Preps" and Emerson Institute were ex-
tremely interesting and showed consid-
erapie football ability that awaits de-
Veloplng among these clever students

Garges, of the Easterns, is probably the
best end. He is fast. tackles hard, and
sure. His good work counted for little
on poor team. The other end goes to
Snow, of the Centrals, and woulI be a
L.
McGettigan. of the Georgetown Preps.,
is easily the best tackle here. He car
ries the ball well, is fast, and is good
on the defence.
Hoover is entitled to the other tackles
place. Like McGettigan. he is a fine
ground gamer. but is rather slow. Pur-
cell, of the Centrals, is also good man.
Johnson is certainly the best left guard.
He is large and very fast for a big man
Cogan is the other guard. He plays
good steady game. is well built and
strong.
Brown n Scrappy Centre.
In Brown. Georgetown 'Preps." have
splendid centre. He IS fast, passes well,
and makes up in aggressiveness what he
lacks in weight. He played throughout
the season and went at his man with
scrappy determination that made him a
valuable player.
The two best men for quarterback are
McGee, of the "Preps." and Church, of
Western. Both are good at passing. but
McGee displayed better generalship last
season and he gets the position. Luns-
ford, quarter of the Business High, like
Garges, was fine player on poor team.
There were many good halfbacks, Fin
ley of Western: Kennedy and Tindall of
Central, Mcqueen. of Business; Morrlson,
of Emerson Institute. and Kane and
Burns. of the Preps, but the two cracks
in that position are Tindall and Burns.
Tindall's best work was done against the
Gallaudet Reserves, while Burns played
his star game against the heavy Marines.
The best fullback. like that of centre,
is easily chosen. Prince, of Emerson In
stitute, is certainly entitled to the place.
He punted we'll and bucked the line in
great shape. Cox, OF Central. was also
good full last season, but he is not in
the same class with Prince said a West
