Lineup Of Eleyens Selected-ls
Most Powerful in
Years.

In next Saturdays issue of Golfers
Weekly Walter Camp, the dean of Ameri-
can football, and recognized as the most
competent authority on the game, will
make his annual selection Of what players
on the various college elevens in the coun-
try would make the most powerful team.
His selection for the first team gives
Tibbott, of Princeton, n place in the back
field and Seigling. of the Tigers. {. po-
sition as tackle on the second eleven. In
reviewing the work and capabilities of the
men selected Walter Camp says:
BY WALTER CAMP.
Fullback Coy, of Yale is the strongest
runner of the season of 1903. Unaided and
alone, he can knock down, bowl over, and
tear himself away from more men in one
single run, in a. broken-up field than any
introduced into this country. one hundred
and ninety odd pounds, going with the
speed of a Splinter and preceded in some
remarkable fashion by two aggressive al
ternately projecting knee-joints, that shoot
forward like the ends of piston-rods, may
well prove a menace to the reckless indi-
vlduals who get in its pathway. Tha is
Coy in a broken-up field. And Coy run
ming in scrimmage is only the same. with
less opportunity for acquiring initial
velocity. Add to this his defensive ability,
which is such that when played upon the
end he really tool care Of his own ter
ritory, and then fearfully forgetting that
he was not playing also back of the line
would 90 ledDlllS inter II man WHO Ildu gone
through tackle and snap him from behind.
Finally, Coy can for distance outpunt any
man on the gridiron, and has no hesitancy
about trying a drop-kick from the G0-yard
line and making a wet ball carry that
distance above the goal line, though not
high enough to reach the goal bar. From
these facts one has some idea of the
possibilities of this years All-America
fbllback. II took him last season and
the early part Of this one to find himself,
but he is found all right now and no one
is likely TO lose him.
Two "HaIyes" Who Make Holes.
OF halfbacks, Tibbott, of Princeton, Is a
little wonder. a Jewel for amy team to set
In its backield. No team has faced Prince
ton this year that did not learn TO fear that
young mans shooting, lancing runs through
tackle. He always reached his opening. 1t
was not that he looked so dangerous as he
took the ball. The play was recognizable.
The opponents saw him start and could see
him coming. Then somehow things took on
Kaleidoscope changes. Tibbott was coming
over tackle. But Tibbott could move more
quickly than any tackle or end or halfbaek
that was opposed to him. and just as the
tackle disappeared, and 1t was up to the
end and defensive half to get Tibbott, there
was a little streak of creased lightning
slipping straight through in between them,
and it became a mighty close thing as to
whether the other defensive backs would
get Tibbott or Tfbbott would get a touch
down.

Newark fans remember his actions at
Wiedenmayer Park last season. when
he refused to catch Slime, the youngster
whom Duffy thinks has the earfnarks
of a coming twirler. Ostdeik, who was
the other baekstop of the Grays at the
time, finished the game with a broken
finger. Duffy tried to get some of the
other clubs to take him. but there was
nothing doing. Now the Grays have
Eaton and Ostdeik.
Duffy wants to trade Peterson. He
will perhaps be able to do business
with the Montreal club, who is sadly
in need of a competent ~backstop.
Rochester has Jerry Hurley, Erwin,
and that swell little catcher, Johnny
Butler. Hurley Is not likely to be kept
this year. He will try to Ian in the
managerial job at Scranton.
Newark Looks strong.
Outside of the catching department the
Wolverton bunch shape up about the same
as last season.
Sharpe, Mullen and Mailing, Of the last
years team. will be in their old places. Man
ager WoIverton expects to bolster up the
Tigers at third base. Then the outheld
proposition Is easily solved. Johnny Kelly
will be in left next season. He showed his
worth when he joined the Tigers, and it
was through him that more than one game
was put on the ice.
Kelly and Mullen are about the class
in the Eastern League when 1t comes to
inside ball. Manager Stallings is telling
the New York fans, or, rather the baseball
experts of the big city journals, of the
wonderful throwing arm of Demnlitt, his
graceful fielding and heavy hitting. DEM
mitt looks good for right field on the Tigers
next season, Notwithstanding the encourage
ing winter prophecy of the former leadet
of the Tigers.
Centre field is where the Newarsk are
shy. De Wore would like to come back
next season. Josh is wintering in Terre
Haute, and picks up . few stray sheckels In
a grocery store. He is hitting about $40
in the boost league, averaging a nit every
time up with the bunch around the sugar
barrel in the corner grocery. Out. in Terre
Haute they swear that Josh will be In the
outneld for the Giants next season. Nc
Graw likes De Wore, and may keep him on
the bench.
The Yanks have eight outielders be-
sides Demmitt, and there Is a possibility or
getting one Of them if De Wore fails to
come back next season. ,,.
that King Brockett and Long Tom
Hughes will be back after getting some
early spring coffee in the big show.
Brockett and Hughes have been sold TO
the Boston American League team.
TriU will be given a thorough tryout by
the Yankees, as will Mueller. Doc Newton
Is booked to return, and, though Beecher
worked well last season, it Is not thought
mar Wolvecton will make a bid for his
services. Demaree, who came her last
season from the Cotton States League and
did not pitch, will hop around In the spring.
Several youngsters from the Yankees may
wear the local club colors before they are
put up against the heavy hre or the DIG
league guns.

Those pinkillers from the Nutmeg State

team last night on the Tuxedo alleys when
they took two out of three games from the
locals. The setback at the hands Of the
New Haven five came as a surprise, in SO

the day.
In the individual matches in the after
noon the locals captured four out Of five

never be consumed with wonder as to

for Kennard's drop-kick, that won the
Yale game for Harvard, was clean and

all the time, besides aiding his teammates.
