 The Journal Courier this morning announces the Al1-Amerioan football eleven picked from the eastern college teams Tn choosing the representative eleven Carlisle is not considered since the rules which govern the makeup of the Indian eleven are not the ones fol- lowed in the other eastern colleges. It is always hard to pick an all- American eleven, and this year the work is, if possible harder than usual. The shifting of the players on some of the teams has had it's effect on the makeup of the all-American, and the unsteady work of some of the half backs, brilliant in some of the con tests, rules them out
 A notable example of the first case is that of Brides of Yale, who would certainly have been All American guard had he been left in that posi- ton. The choice of many makers of All American elevens last year, his work So greatly improved in the season just closing as to put him easily in the front rank. He was first shifted to end and then to halfbach, filling both positions with such efficiency that he is easily the first choice for the best all around player in the east.
 Mayhew of Brown who was an All American l,alfback last year, while brilliant in several contests of the pres- ent fall, has not held his position or the eleven. The positions of halfbackS are always the most closely contested for and this year they seem finally tc go to wendell of HMwasA and Harlan of Princeton.
 Wendell was out of the game severa weeks on account of his studies, but in the few games he was in showed his superiority over the other eastern halfbacks. Never was this more clearly shown than in the Yale Harvard game when most of the Crimson advances were due to his hard and heady work Not only Harlan's general work in the halfback position, but his drop kicking ability, gives him the other position as halfback He was the man Yale and the other opponents of Princeton most feared and he was the one who did the most damage.
 Coy of Yale, the plunging fullback, called with Brides the human batter ing ram, succeeds Veeder as All Amer ican fullback. The mighty work of Mccormick of Princeton, never dis played more than in the game against Yale two weeks ago, falls short of that of the Yale sophomore, whose bunting ability as we'll as terrific line- tearing will be feared by the oppon- ents of the blue for two more years. Tad Jones, the Yale general, wins over all eastern quarterbacks, putting Dillon and Newhall in the shade. Were Mount Pleasant to be considered, Jones has the place still cinched The Prince ton game, where every style of play was called for, never found Jones fol a minute wanting, and his playing against Harvard, when he was abso- lutely Jagged out, was such that nc one knew his condition until after the game
 tones long runs, his ability to run back punts, combined with his great head work, are additional qualities which give him the position.
 In the line the positions over which there seems to be the greatest con- test are the ends, but for brilliant individual work all through the sea. son. The men who should fill them are Wtster of Princeton and Mcdonald ot Harvard. lAlcott of Yale is the closes opponent of the men chosen, his abil. ity to gather in forward passes settlet second place for him and some have put him first
 Draper of Pennsylvania is without doubt the All American left tackle His long experience, steady, brilliant work through the present season gives h1rn the position Both on the aggres. sion and defence he is equally good ant has proved when carrying the ball one Z of the greatest ground gathers for the I QHalxers.
 Captain Biglow of Yale is equally sure of the other position as tackle He combines with his tackling ability a E quality of blocking kicks dangerous tc the opposing eleven, and speed in run ling after an onside kick whtch makes ! i'm stand preeninent among linesmen k Captain Biglow also has at times proved the efficiency of the forward psss in a conclusive manner and or breaking up plays he is without equal Erwin of West Point, the bulwark of the Armys mighty line, takes one of
