some little time now. tic discussion rs
to which OF the players have most DIS
tinguished themselves has not ceased.
A study of tho selections OF the VA
rlous experts for the lAll-Amcrican
cleycns shows this result for tirst- and
second teams:

Draper Penny. LIT O'RomrlSc. Cornell

These certainly do make two mighty
good teams. Walter Camp, whose
Judgment OF football player lis as
good an that of any man In America
and whose opportunity for Judging the
playing capacity of the men are unsur-
passed, makes a somewhat dllercht
iine-up. HIS selections are interesting
and are as follows:

II has been a source OF comment that
the wonderful showing OF the Carlisie
team on the gridiron Is due In large
measure to the fact that the eligibility
rnle which cuts short the football ca :
reer of the men In the other colleges
does not apply to the Indians. NOW
the rules at Carlisle arc to be changed
and the Indians Will be on all tours
with the colleges against which they
MAY. The Carlisle Athletic Assoc:a-
tion has Issued statement winch
saws. among other things:

fest has come to Carlisle from uni
yersity or college that has met the
indians this year, either as to their
eligibility or the conduct of the

main longer and have been allowed &c

..This being the case. and there haV'
Ing been perhaps some unjust criticism
as to the length Of time players were
allowed to represent Carlisle. and also
to the custom OF playing Indian en-
ploycs, 1t has been decided to enact
and enforce eligibility rules preventing
any student representing carlisle "
football more than four years, ane

students. and not employees, snail pt
