Yale Has Four Players
in Lineup and Penn
Three.

The spectacular contest between the
Army and Navy Saturday marks the
close Of what was, IN many respects. the
most remarkable football season IN the
history OF the game-remarkable from
the reversaIs which met some ~ the
elevens touted as safe bets, ard the
failure OF others who were expected to
make good.
Now comes the inevitable aftermath Of
Il all, the discussion Of the relative
merits OF the various teams and the still
more elusive question Of An ATl-Ameri-
can football team.
The selection Of such a team this
year would mean an Au-Eastern team.
The varsities along the Atlantic coast
have clearly demonstrated their su-
premacy over. the Middle Westel. con
tingent Even Michigan was again de-
feated by its oJd-time rival, Penn The
introduction Of Western players on the
Ail-American lineup would only, there
fore, cause confusion, and they would
stand little chance Of holding their own
with their Eastern team mates.
-Four Ideas.
-Four mythical teams. all picked by
football experts were announced this
morning. TIE selection which appears
IL the New York World was made by
James J. Hogan and Foster Rockwell,
he famous Yale stars OF 'o4 The sport
ing editors OF the New York Sun,
derald, and Philadelphia Press are also
10 the fore with their choices, and II
was by a vote OF the selections made
from these four sources that the eleven
which heads the column was picked.
Yale predomlnates in all the nne-ups,
and IN the choice made by this process
ot elimination four Yale men. Alcott
BigloW. Jones, and Coy are on the slate
Dague. Of Navy, was picked by three
papers for end. while the Yale man
got two votes for that position. In the
lineup above when two men are named
Tor Two positions. as for ends ~ guards
the first named received the highest
men for the tackle stations IS equally
divided, the Penn candidate and Yale
player each getting the same number
or votes. For guards, Ziegler, OF Penn,
carries on the honors with four votes.
while thompson. the star OF Cornell. is
the only representative the Ithacans
have In the final choice.
Center a Tie.
For center Philips and Grant are tied.
while Tor quarterback, Jones OF Yale IS
the selection OF all e, % editors except the
Press critic, who would give that place
to Dillon. Of Prineeton. AcoorC Cing to
Rockwell, me Princeton leader IS out Of
the question because OF his poor show
ing made against Yale. He DID not
get his team going until Il was too late
in the Cornell game. and his rlisjudg-
ment OF punt in the Yale game gave
the Blue the chance TO make The touch
down scored by Jones. Dillon Showed a
tendency 10 miss punts, repeatedly
mufhng them. Jones was haWless in
this department HIS work was as gOOC
IN big games Cs IN the minor ones. and
his fighting spirit and personality were
no small factors IN his success. II Is
for these reasons that three OF the
critics pick him TO lead the fcemier
American eleven.
There were great halfbacks, includ-
ing Douglass, OF the Navy; FOlwen. OF
Pennsylvania: Ingersol, OF Dartmouth:
MCCabe. OF Cornell: Hendricks. OF Car
ltsle; Harlan and TtbbOtt, Of Princeton.

dashes raised havoc with the Indians.
In the Cornell game his spirit gave such
I courage TO his team that the whistle
alone prevented them from winning.
Coy, OF Yale: HaUser. Of Carlisle. and
HOLenb8cif, OF Pennsylvania, are also
mentioned for the position.
II IS probable that second choice would
have been Coy had he not been assigned
10 fullback by one Of the dopesters.
Mccormick received two votes, which
gives him the baCllneld position. and
HOlIenbaCk's admirers were also divided
on the question Of placing him. He was
picked for left and right halfback and
for fullback.
McCormicE's Consistent Work.
McCormick's work throughout the sea-
son gives him first place In big games
his defensive work was wonderful. In
tearing the Yale line 20 pieces no back
OF the year showed the same pov-Rr he
did, save possibly Coy, in the second
half Of the same game. The latter is

COOP TEST Foh NICOTINE.
Experiments That May Be Of Interest
aHs to Smokers.

Anyone who wishes to find out
how much nicotine he might take into
his system by smoking can easily get
sn idea by a very simple experiment"
says an old smoker, who is rarely
seen in public or private without a
cigar in his mouth. Puff briskly
until the cigar smoke is clear white
then draS big mouthful, double
your handkerchief, place 1t over your
lips and blow out the smoke violently
as though you were whistling. Look
at your handkerchief and you will
see deep brown stain almost as big
as a dime on the white linen. That
Is the nicotine and other oils distilled
from the tobacco during burning.
Now, Of course, don't mean to say
that regular smoker would absorb
all this oil into his system. Most
OF 1t passes away with the smoke, as
shown by the brown deposit on the
handkerchief, but still enough re
mains to affect the nerves, as any
inexperienced smoker can testify af-
ter his first attempts to become ac-
customed to the weed. Whether the
nicotine hurts anybody who is used
to 1t is a question for the doctors"

EvENeD UP WITH FARMER.
Scientific Elimination Of an over

A boarder at a Massachusetts farm
house evened up an overcharge by the
landlord in the following fashion this
summer:
When he arrived for fortnight's
stay he learned that the town In which
the farm was situated was a temper
ance town, and that the nearest source
of supply for malt and sprituous
quenchers was some eight miles away.
When he asked the landlord to bring
up a couple of cases of beer the next
time he went to town, he was blandly
informed:
There's no need OF that. have
adopted, you as member of my fam
lily, and always have some beer on
hand for my own"
This was all right, and during the
remainder of his stay the guest son
snmed beer as his thirst and fancy
demanded.
When he came to settle his bill Just
before leaving. he discovered that he

the time is not far distant when the
pitchers who are known as skilled
vet ball artists, will be scarce. The
reason is. says Chance, that the bats.
men are hitting that kind of pitching
each year. When the batters begin
to gauge the pitchers, then something
new has to be evolved. Then again
few pitchers can stand the strain for
more than two or three seasons. and

years, says London report. Some
of the lunches this year weigh as
much as four or five pounds each, and
the marked Improvement In the

to the fact that new glass house,
