LUSH PICKS ALL
STAR COLLEGE TEAMS
Yale Coach Selects Best Ball Players
From Collegians for Two
Squads.
THINKS PHILBIN
A STAR CATCHER
Templeton His Pitching Choice,
While Burt of Amherst Is Chosen
for First Base.

An Intercollegiate base ball team has
been selected by William L. Lush. who
coached the Yale base ball squad last
year. In fact. Lush has picked two
! teams. They are:
First team-Philbin, Yale. catcher;
| Templeton, Williams pitcher; Burt, Am
herst first base; Mcintyre, Yale, second
! base: Lannigan, Harvard, third base;
Nash, Brown, shortstop: Balm, Prince
ton. left field: Jube, Amherst, center
field; Bard, Princeton. right field.
| Second team--Dawson, Princeton. catch
er; Schultz. Pennsylvania, pitcher; Ster
rett, Princeton. first base: Potter, Har-
ward, second base; Regnier, Brown, third
base; Mahoney, Holy Cross, shortstop:
Wood, Pennsylvania, left field; Badger,
Yale, center field; Corey, Yale, right
| field.
The Yale News tells of Lush's selec-
| lions:
The first position, catcher, was an
easy one to pick. Philbin seems to be
without an equal. He had a good arm
and few balls got by him. AS a batter
and his average shows that he never fail
| ed to get hit game. Philbin'S s knOWl-
edge of the game, together with his ag-
gressiveness. made him not only the
also captain of the nine. On the second
| team. Dawson Of Princeton was the man
chosen His throwing was good and his
heady all-round playing place him in the
position next to Philbin. Other catchers
who showed ability were Lambie, Will
liams, and Williams. Cornell.
In selecting the best pitcher there were
many to choose from. Shultz of Pennsyl-
vania, Templeton of Williams. Mahoney
of Fordham, Tommers of Yale, Foley of
Holy Cross, Mcclure of Amherst, Noodle
of Princeton, Hyatt of West Point and
Northrop of Pennsylvania state, all were
frst.class pitchers. They pitched many
brilliant games, and the only way to find
the best one was to judge from the steadi-
ness and average Of each.
Picks Templeton.
''Templeton. captain of Williams, is the
man who seems to be a shade better than
the others. His wonderful speed and
good curves, together with his control,
make him the choice for the all-colegiate
pitcher. Shultz of Pennsylvania also had
all the requirements of a good pitcher,
and his experience places him as Sec
Ond selection.
| There were only three good first base
| men from whom to choOse-Burt Am
herst; Sterrett, Princeton, and McLaugh-
lin, Harvard. Burt seems the best player,
| as he eXcelled in every department of
the game. He was better fielder than
Sterrett of Princeton, who gets the po-
slt1on on the second aggregation, and
better base runner. Both Of these men
| have clear base ball heads and although
) not brilliant hitters, they made MANY
opportune hits. Mclaughlin, Harvard,
also deserves honorable mention
I For second there was a great want of
good material. Mcintyre of Yale, Potter
Of Harvard and Carroll of Trinity are
the only ones who eligible for the
position Mcintyre and Potter were both
good at batting, but Mcintyre felded his
position better and was q more proficient
base runner. He showed DIP particularly
we'll in the championship games and is
a better man for second base. Carroll,
Trinity, does not class with the two just
mentioned, but was by no means a poor
ball player.
Capt. Lannigan of Harvard outclasses
every one else for the position at the
third sack. A good fielder. thrower, bats
man and base runner, he has no rival
for that place. Regnier a Brown foot bal
and base ball man. is the choice for the
second team. He fielded his position
very we'll. being especially good on
ground balls and foul flies He was a
good batter and had lots of fight always
left i'm him. There were no others who
deserve mention for their playing
His Star Shortstop.
AT shortstop Nash, Brown; Mahoney,
| Holy Cross; Pennock, Amherst, and Mag
ner, Cornell. were all first-class men,
! Nash was an excellent batter and fielder
and had a good knowledge of base ball.
| He is the first choice. whereas Ma
honey gets place on the second team
not so much on account of his batting
! but because of his speed and aggressive
ness combined with his cean-cut fielding
I'm left field Balm of Princeton has
no equal. His arm was strong and field
ing perfect. Willie his batting was good,
but he excellad in bunting more tEan
anything else. Having lots OF speed he
| used this accomplishment to very good
end. Capt. Wood of PENNSYLVANIA gets
the next choice, being inferior to Balm
only in a few minor points. Wood wds
an excellent batter and base runner and
knew the game from beginning to end.
Stevens of Yale also was fine left
heder and is really Il better player than
his averages show.
'In center field Capt. lube of Amherst
! is the best man without a Goubt. lie
was IL brilliant fielder. especially on fly
| balls and difficult grounders, and covered
remarkable lot of ground. He was 4
good hitter and extremely fast. Badger,
Yale. and Osterhout, Columbia, were the
only two first-claSs men from whom to
choose for the second team. Badger IL
shade better, however. on account Of
his excellent base running and his ability
to slide to bag. Both are good hitttrs
and fielders and there Is little choice
between them.
The other Princeton man on the ali
collegiate is Bard who has right field in
his possession. He was very faSt ana
was IA complete master OF the art OF
bunting. His fielding was clean ana MS
! throws % the plate from the field were
very good. Corey, Yale, is the man on
second. He deserves this place because
of his base running and ability to mt
in tight places. Rutherford. Cornell. and
Burns, Holy Cross, are also eAcehent
