Plenty Of Good Backs.
The selection Of the back field for the
An-Hish team is a far more knotty
proposition than choosing the line. but
Hamilton, Of Central; Spencer. Of Tech,
and Macon. Of Tech. are the final choices.
Hamilton IS without a peer at half back
this season. A swift runner, a hard and
accurate taclller. he is without question
placed at right half on the AU-High
eleven. and with Spencer, Of Technical
who could run back punJs he has q like
partner. Too much cannot be said OF the
lRtters ability at broken field running.
He IS sure catcher of punts and is an
adept al the use Of the stn-arm.
At full back. Macon. OF Technical. IS the
first selection. This man was among
those disqualified from playing on the
high school eleven on account Of ineligi-
bility in studies, but at the last moment.

splendid attempt 10 regain standing on

the season as q hard line hitter. He also

when playing on the defensive.
Put this all-high eleven ia the hands
OF Coach Hecox. Of Technical for three
weeks TO learn signals and 20 develop

resulting machine could be relied upon
to successfully cope with any scholastic
team in the country.
