twice before have western players been accorded this honor. Heston was MT. Camps selection for half back last year, while Herschberger, of Chicago. made the full back position in 1898. No one had doubted that Heston would be on the team again this year. While the friends of the Chicago quarter back had hoped he would find favor in the eyes of Camp, they had no assurance of his selection. Still more surprising than Eckersall's s selection is the position he is chosen to fill. He is put at end. Stevenson, the little Pennsylvania wonder, is given the call over the Chicagoan for the quarter back place. Eckersall's splendid all round abilities, however, gave him a place on the team. On the second eleven Curtis, of Michigan, is given place and on the third eleven are placed Rothgeb, of Illinois, and Bender, of Nebraska. The All-American in full is as follows: End, Sheylin, Yale: tackle, Cooney vania; center Tipton, West Point; guard Kinney, Yale: tackle, Hogan, Yale; end, Eckersall, Chicago; quarter Stevenson, Pennsylvania; half, Hurley, Harvard: half. Heston. Michigan; full back. Smith, Pennsylvania. In speaking of Eckersall and the reasons for his se- lection as an end, MT. Camp says: My second end have selected only after choosing all the rest of the team. and then carefully going over all the possi- Utilities of the field and endeavoring to put myself in the position I should as sume were l the coach and obliged to select from all the excellent array of
 material man who would serve me tn g
 best on the team when went into actual play. This man Eckersall can punt 60 yards. drop kick with disconcerting ac- curacy. and in more than one game has more than decided the issue by his drop 1 kicking. He is remarkable tackler. and as for running in a broken field, he is a wonder" Heston is placed in a class by himself as half back. The critic points out that he has great speed. cleverness, ideal weight and strength, and is abso- lutely unbreakable Speik, of Chicago and kafer, of Northwestern, are other western men who come in for special
 mention.
