CAMP SAYS COY IS GREATEST OF
 GRIDIRON HEROES
SELECTIONS OF NOTED CRITIC FOR AN ALL AMERICAN TEAM FOR ALL TIME.

SELECTIONS OF NOTED CRITIC FOR AN ALL AMERICAN TEAM FOR ALL TIME.
 Walter Camp in the February nuna- ber of the Century Magazine ars- nounces the makeup of an All-Amerl- ca team for all time, the men being chosen from college players of the last twenty years. His selection is as fol- lows:-
 End, Hinckey, Yale.
 Tackle, Fish, Harvard.
 Guard, Hare, Pennsylvania. Center, Schultz, Michigan.
 Guard, Hefelfnger, Yale.
 Tackle, Dewitt, Princeton
 End, Shevlin, Yale.
 Quarterback, Eckersall, Chicago.
 Halfback, Heston, Michigan.
 Halfback, Weeks, Columbia.
 Fullback, Coy, Yale.
 In his criticism of the mem berS of the team, MT. Camp has the following to say about Coy:-
 Coy, of Yale, has the most re- rnarkable combination of qualities that have been gathered together in any player on the gridiron. Stripping close to 193 pounds, a remarkably fast runner, and with high-knee ac- ton, it was almost impossible to stop him from in front when he had ac- Quired full headway. He had sufffci- ent speed to make }his run and kick formation a very difficult proposition for opponents, whereas when he re- ceived the kick and ran it back there was no telling how far he would go. In the Harvard and Princeton games in his sophomore and junior years, it became dangerous for opponents to kick the ball, for Coy, if he had a fair st3rt, would as likely as not run it back the whole length of the kick. AS a punter he had tremendous pow er and with this he combined great accuracy and distance in drop kicks, so that in one Princeton game he tried kick from mid-feld, and with no favoring wind nearly reached the goal This was with the ball in no too good condition. As a tackler and defensive player among men of his weight and strength he was excep- tional, while his all-around knowl- edge of the game was such that he could play at end as readily as at fullback, and in the early part of his career was an excellent tackle on his freshman team.
 MT. Camp comments on Fish, cap- tain of last years Harvard eleven, and choice for tackle on his All-America team, as follows:-
 Fish, of Harvard has made a name for himself at tackle both as a prod uct of the plays that were effective before the introduction of the new game and as a man who took to the forward pass and on-side kick more naturally than any other tackle. In addition to this, he was a leader of men, and much of the attack and de- fense of his team was built about him. There is no man who has been developed since the introduction of the forward pass who could equal him in receiving the ball. He is six feet three, and the stretch of his arms up into the air, as can be readily appre- ciated, is considerable. Furthermore, he had way of planting himself up- on his feet that the men whose pro- vince it was to knock over the man receiving the pass almost invaria bly, found Fish immovable. He was of ten down the field ahead of his ends, and was a certain and deadly tackler. As an interferer he was equally good, and on the whole he was the best rounded out of all the tackles that have played the position"
