Bray, A. & M, for Center.

There is plenty of good center material,
Cunnif of Georgetown, Gibbs of " +. L.,
Eickoff of George Washington and Bray
of A. and NJ. are all exceptionally good
men in the position. However. the place
goes to Bray because of his great ability
to charge quickly after passing the ball
and his general all-around good work on
the offensive He is also a good defen-
sive player, and his passing is perfect.
Bray has had five years experience in
the pivot position. Cunnif is almost as
good as Bray, but is little more erratic.

For quarterback there are two men who
loom up more prominently than the 9TH

off many sensational stunts, are by far
the best field generals in the section

to run the team fully as well as the lat
ter, and it is by this narrow margin that
he will be given the position. Honaker
of Virginia and Costello of Georgetown
are brilliant broken field runners, but
both failed to get as much out OF their
teams as the aforementioned pair.
Dunn of Georgetown is given the left
halfback's position. He is heavy and
fast is a good broken field runner and a
hard line smasher. While not quite as
good on the defensive as might be ex-
pected, his great power on the offensive
causes him to overshadow the other cam
didates for the place. Todd of Virginia
has earned the same position on the sec
ond team. Cool of A. & NJ. would be
another good man in the place.

for the position on the second team.
