season. In the games with Minnesota
and Pennsylvania his playing was one
Of the leading features. Next to Ben
brook Fisher is the best guard of the
year. This player is not of the snowy
type, but he was one of the few guards
who showed a willingness to get into
every play.
Wilson of Princeton, Mlnot of Har-
ward, Bromley Of Minnesota, Weir of
West Point and Fuller of Yale are
worthy of mention.
cozens Leading Center.
1t is a tossup for center between
Arnold OF West Point and Cozens of
Pennsylvania. Both men played great
games all season. But Cozens gets the
position on account of great all around
offensive and defensive playing IN the
games with Michigan and Cornell. On
the offense he was accurate in passing
and had other very valuable qualities.
Cozens was one of the few centers
who mastered the hard accurate pass
to the kicker when the latter was at
tempting to kick a goal from the field.
So good was his passing that Quarter
back Scott did not have one kick
BLOCKED all season.
McGovsrn Greatest Quarterback.
McGovern of Minnesota has claim to
the quarterback position. He stands
head and shoulders above any other
field general in the country for YER
satility. He was a star In practically
every department Of the ~game-able to
piek a hole In the line whenever Il
gain is necessary, OIL boot the ball on a
punt or q drop kick. McGovern was
the key to many Of Minnesota's tricks
as well as possessing a good head. He
handled his team faultleSsly and i'll
pinches displayed rare Judgment,
while his running with the ball on
different formations and in returning
kicks won him a great reputation as
an open field runner. McGoyern is also
given the %captaincy Of the All American,
Besides performing more duties than
any other member of the Gopher team
this season, McGovern did all the field
goal kicking and punting, and in the
former was a toe artist of no mean
ability. Considering every angle of
quarterback play, the Gopher Is enti-
tied to the position. His playing was
a feature of every contest in which
Minnesota engaged in the past two
years.
Other quarterbacks who did grand
work on the gridiron were Sprackling
of Brown, Howe of Yale, Baliou OF
Princeton, Mcmillan of Michigan,
Scott OF Pennsylvania and Butler of
Cornell.
Sprackltng of Brown is easily the
best quarterback IN the east. He Is a
great little field general, handles punts
perfectly and is himself a nifty drop
kicker. His three goals from the field
beat Yale. Butler of Cornell gives
promise. In the game against Penn
sylvania he was the man of the hour.
No quarterback in the east, with the
exception Of Sprackling, played a bet
ter game of football. He is one of the
best kickers developed this season.
Buffers goal from placement on the
forty-four yard line In the game with
Pennsylvania was the longest made
this season. Next season 1t will be
well to keep an eye on him.
Star H~aIfbacks Numerous.
There were any number of star half
backs this season, including Magid-
sohn of Michigan, Wendell and Corbett
of Harvard, Pendleton Of Princeton,
Rosenwald and Stevens of Minnesota,
Mckay of Brown and Dalton Of An
napolis. Magidsohn for his all round
gaining ability, tackling and headwork
In every one of Michigan's games this
season is entitled to one position.
He has probably gained more ground
for the Wolverines this year than any
one of his teammates.
Magidsohn is quick to get into the
interference and just as handy at
breaking up interference. He has the
knack of straight arming an opponent
down to a fine art.
Wendell of Harvard Is given the
other position. He figured as often as
any other Crimson player in important
plays, and his speed, headwork and
lodging ability make him an ideal
halfback.
Ramsdell of Pennsylvania played
brilliantly at times, but his work on
the whole was not consistently good.
Pendleton Of Princeton was a Won
d~erfully fast man. In fact, he did
more to put the Tigers in the running
this year than any two men on the
team. His only fault was a tendency
to mess up kicked balls.
Corbett Of Harvard is another star,
but he fumbled the ball too often.
Mercer Leading FulIbaek.
Mercer of Penn is the selection for
fulIback. He combines all the qualities
of a nan for that position, being a
the ends, a great line slasher and a re-
markabIy strong defensive player.
Is Of the fiery type and one
who constantly urged his team to
efforts In every game, and his
brilliant end running and defensive play
set q good example for his teammates.
This is MERGERS first year on the
and be improved right along.
With another years experience he
will prove to be one Of the greatest
tullbacks that eyer wore a Penn mole
skin, not excepting the great Bill Hol-
6enbach.
Other fullbaeks who showed TO adj
,antage are Hart Of Princeton, Klstler
If Yale. Leslie OF Harvard and John
ton OF Minnesota
