Robert Edgren has the following to-
say about the All.Amerlca football
team of 1910
"ln selecting the All.American
football team for the season of 1910
the best opponents of both the old
and the new style of play have been
taken into consideration. 1t may be
that In the Western universities there
are few players who could displace
some of those selected from the East.
ern teams. but very little Is known of
the Western teams around New York,
and It would not only be inaccurate
but unfair to attempt to pass upon
the qualifications of those players
All around ability as well as spe.
cialty must be taken into considera.
ton. For instance, there was much
difficulty In deciding between Hart,
of Princeton. and Ingersoll. of Dart.
mouth as the fullback of the year
As n matter of fact, lngersoll did not
play fullback all of the time, but the
players are switched from one posi-.
ton to the other so often In the
backficld that Ingersoll can be taken
ms Il fullback Eddie Hart has some
advantage over lngersoll In line
plunging and he was his equal In
tackling. but Ingersoll was the best
punter Of the season, and that de.
cidcd in his favor. In the team Sc.
lected II will be noticed that 1t would
be without n good kicker but for the
selection OF Ingersoll Pendleton is a
good kicker from placement, and he
| did most of the goal kicking for the
Orange and Black. but as a punter
1 there were many who surpassed him,
Pendleton a Star.
Again. there was difficulty In decid-
ing between Pendleton and DAILY, Of
Yale. for the position OF halfback.
Pendleton did not do so well In his
game against Yale, but during the
season he was the bright star Of the
year. Pendleton Is the best example
of the exponent of the new style OF
football. He Is exceedingly fast and
| is very accurate in handling punts.
In running through broken field he
| Is the superior OF them all, and that
| is but n natural consequence of his
wonderful speed and nimbleness OF
foot in lodging. DAILY played sur.
prisingly good game for Yale. but he
was lacking in the speed displayed
by Pendleton. The Yale captain was
fairly good on handling punts, and
he was able to make good advances
with the ball. In the Yale.Harvard
! game he tackled beautifully. II q
second team had been selected DAILY
would have had position of honor
in the backiield.
There was no trouble in selecting
the ends. Fitzpatrick is in a class by
himself, and DAILY, of Dartmouth, was
almost as good II was the wonderful
work of Fitzpatrick that kept Harvard
from scoring, and II was his speed
that enabled the Bulldog to beat
Princeton. Every expert in thu
country in selecting ends will un
doubtedly pick Fitzpatrick first. In
the Princeton game Daily. Of Dart
mouth, played remarkably good ball
and IL was the defensive work thai
held Princeton. Princeton would moi
have scored. DAILY was so fast ant
got by the opposing ends and tex
ira men" with such ease that he FIRE
qucntly tackled the catcher of {
punt before he could move from hi'
tracks.
Scully and Mckay Lead.
At tackle Scully, Of Yale, an,
Mckay, of Harvard, were easily thu
best. Scully showed remarkable abil
ity In backing up Fitzpatrick ON tn
end plays. Frequently he got tn
man with the ball after he had go
by Fitzpatrick. McKay's claim to dis
tinction lies in the fact that nobod
could get by him on n line plunge
He was like stone wall every tim
/ Harvard's line was assailed, and %
several occasions he nailed the run
| ner without assistance. Two or tire
| times he broke through the line an
| got the man with the ball before h
/ could get started
There Is no doubt about Fisher. Q
| Harvard, being the best guard of III
year, and Wilson, of Princeton, wa
almost as good. Fisher had a wol
derful knack Of blocking kicks, o
account of his height he was abb
] to jump In the air and knock dow
several wellaimed punts. He wa
: unsuccessful In stopping any {
Howe's kicks in the big game, bl
earlier In the season his work n
counted for many Of Harvard's toucl
downs.
The selection Of Sprackling,
Brown. as quarterback was easy. u
was undoubtedly the best man of II
year IN his position and II is pretl
certain that every reXpert in Il
country will put him in the lis
Sprackllng did wonderful work
