position were the selection TO include taeir
schools The Trerkman brothers. OF
AdeIphi Academy, and COndoya. Of Poly
Prep" are players Of the highest caIfbre-
Many fine. and almost brilliant players
induIged in the sport tbs season. and the
task Of picking out the best IS BY no means
an easy one The positions OF end and
quarterback were filed BY boys who were
very evenly matched The list Of The boys
whose geenraI all around work has made
them prominent during the season follows
At ends. McMath. OF E--srnus Hall. and
Tabor. OF Boys High. get the choice
Teller. OF Do Witt Clinton; BaIcOmb and
Speery. OF Erasmus Han, Logan. OF Morris
McKusaer and Keer. OF Commerce. and Nc.
Turrnan, CT Boys High, were OF exceptional
ability McMath was one OF the fastest
men in the field in covering punts. was good
on defence and was a certain receiver ot
the forward pass Tabor at the other end
was hard and sure tackIer, hard man
TO box and punted well He was speedy IN
aT- W
handling the forward pass
The tackles who showed the best form
most consistently during the season were
Mckinney. of Manual Training. and Hou-
ser Of Boys High School Both are big
husky boys, powerful on offence and a
stone wall on defence Renner, OF Com
nerce played a good game throughout the
season but injuries robbed him OF q lot OF
his speed, and toward the close he was II
poor condition This did not prevent him
from playing in every game. however. and
in each game he acquitted himself with
honor Byrne, of Erasmus, played a good
game most Of the time. but was inclined to
be er-atic-
The choice Of guards falls upon White, OF
De Witt Clinton and Mclaughlin. OF Com
ulerce- Both are over six feet in height
and weigh over 30 pounds. White. with
his great strength. was one OF the hardest
men TO stop, and his position vas an open
avenue for few yards when Clinton need
ed a first down Mclaughlin is a hard, fast
player, aggressive, and puuted well over
Torry-fve yards DingTalI. OF Manual
Training. and COnroY, Of Boys High School
press closely upon Mclaughlin and White
At centre there can be but one choice
Strong. the centre OF Commerce completely
| ourplayed any man he met during the sea
/ son- He is only sixteen years Old and
weighs only a tr1he over $50 pounds, but
what he lacks in weight he makes up n
/ aggressiveness and speed He was sure IN
his passes and was barrier on defence
| Time and again he broke through and ran
/ down the field under kicks almost as quick
| II as hts ends.
! The position OF quarterback is BY FAR the
most difficult 70 fill because OF the excellent
material from which 70 choose Huntley'
Of Morris; Collins, OF Boys High, and
| Cherre. OF Commerce. are stars. Cherre 5y
his defensive work, stamped himself as
player OF more than usual ability Gamble.
/ the star Of Erasmus Han. however is the
( best Of the lot. Gamble IS without qUes-
| ton the fastest boy in schoOlboy ranks to-
day. He was absolutely sure in catching
punts and was q whirlxind in runnInS
them back. and had the faculty OF tnspr-
ing his team He was hard 70 tackle and
was a cool general on offence, while his
manipulation of the forward pass was per-
fecc. CANDLES speed gives him the call
over Cherre.
In the backfieId RusseI Love. the little
right haIfback of Commerce. has easily
earned a place Love IS a natural footnaII
PLAYER He IS fast. aggressive, an acepl aI
picking his openings and IS a hard man 10
bring TO earth. He was good on ruIlIlInS
back kicks and his defensive work vas al
that could be asked FelSus. or MOTIFS
was fast on offence. but lacked ability 70
stop line pIunges. Rohring. OF Manual. vas
also good. but not IN the class with Love
Mckinney and McGivney. OF Erasmus. are
good men. and James, OF Boys High, 1s
well rated
Greene. the left haIfback o1 Manual
Training. is about the best for the position
Greene was fast and able and would make
a fine running mate for Love He was
good in bracing the line. quick 10 pick MS
orenings and hard 70 tackle LenJe. or
Manual. is a good back, and Janer, q
Erasmus. is one Of the best Baer, OF Boys
High. IS fast but he lacks the al around
ability of either Jarner or Greene
At fuIIback Gallagher. OF Erasmus. IS the
choice Gallagher can punt well over forty
Yards on the average, Is fast, picks his
holes quickly and with great Judgment and
can toss the forward pass with great ac-
curacy and speed He piunSes the Inc N
fine fashion and has always been EOod for
a few yards when they were most needed
Fonda, OF Boys High: BIenio. or COM
merce, and PhiIIippi. OF Morris. are good
steady men PhiInppi IS good punter-
while BIeniO is one OF the best line plung-
ers in scholastic ranks and is sure on de-
fence, but he is erratic and not in the class
with Gallagher. The latter, wlth Love,
Greene and Gamble 70 work with and Ia
hOr and McMath on the ends. WOuld indeed
make up a formidable combination
