against the large university teams was
poor one for the St Louis school Il was
the same with Nebraska when the latter
team first essayed TO break into the
Western championship fight. but the lat
ter school has fought its way to second
place this year and might possibly hold
the championship had # been able to get
a game with Michigan.
An-All-American Team.
with the end Of the season comes the
Inevitable selection Of an al-American
team.
One authority says, put the Yale team
in the field ard let that be the represen-
tative eleven" This matter OF a Sc
lection is always a difficult and thank
less task. Every team has at least one
or two star" players. The rest must 20
below par. The champion team is gen
orally a combination Of eleven men
whose members while not quite up TO
the individual stars OF other colleges.
are each good in his own position. Yale
had a splendid team-a perfect machine
which worked as II it were driven by
great power; IL was splendidIy trained
and knew the game.
Charles Chadwick. one OF the most
widely-known and respected among foot
ball authorities, says:
The standard Of playing has been far
above tho average, not only as regards
individuals, but also as regards teams.
Yale, Harvard. and Princeton put in the
field three elevens whose equal has rare
! iy been seen in the history Of the game.
The development OF the sport goes on
gradually and imperceptibly year by
year, and yet when marked by decades
I its growth has been rapid.
There is little doubt that the Har-
ward. Yale. or Princeton team OF this
year could literally swamp the cham
pionship elevens Of the early SOS. in the
same way that these teams could easily
have defeated the aggregations which
played the game twenty years ago"
This year the selection Of an all
American is more difficult than ever be-
fore because Of the great number Of ex-
cellent players in the various positions
on the big teams.

Georgetown Schedule.
Locally the season has been a fairly
successful one. Georgetown. OF course,
had a big schedule and acquitted her
self well. Ten games were played OF
which seven were victories. Last year
only eight games we're played, Of which
three were won. three lost. and two
drawn.
The absence Of a game with Virginia
makes Il impossible to make a compari-
son OF the two great teams Of the South.
and it is hoped ere another season the
differences between the two will be ad-
justed.
Coach H. NJ suter got together a fast
eleven, and its work reflects credit upon
him and the blue and Gray"
The worse defeat came from the hands
Of Virginia Polytechnic. IS TO O. The
Indians won q to 0. and holding these
fast flying gridiron warriors down to
such figure IS creditable, to say the
| least. when the best Harvard could do
with the Carlisle was % 10 o.
! Following Is the seasons schedule OF
/ games and the scores made In each:
! September 27-Georgetown w. Mary
