Walter Camp has spoken. The anxi-

Gle Of the east has made his selections
of an "All-American' team. AS had
been expected Camp made up his team
largely from men whose play has come

given over to West Point, Chicago,
Michigan-and Harvard.

While this is interesting, in way,
to the followers Of football in the west,

western football writer to attempt to
lpick an " All-Eastern' team without
teams at play. The same is true of an
eastern writer picking an 'An-AmerlT
cam team without journeying to the
west to watch the various games IN
progress. If Walter Camp saw Mlchl-
ean, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Chicago or
Nebraska play this year the fact has
not come out, and when the dean of
eastern, football scribes comes west on

announces that Mr.. Camp will pick an
"All-Western Team This Feat will

Y ale Harvard game and expressed a be,
lief that Michigan. could have licked
Ieither of them. If this is true then
Minnesota could have turned the same
trick and Chicago and Wisconsin would
have had an even break for victory.
The east today is a squatter,. and

Naturally Mr.. Camp, seeing the eastern
games and knowing the. eastern men
made MP his selections from the teams
with which he felt himself familiar
Taken all in all it has it's purpose. It
pleases the east and amuses the west
lHe has not labored in vain.
