White ENDS - 6ome.sler.
q INCE tho Introduction OF football,
-, every season has produced a play
or who has distinguished himself
by some remarkable feat. Last year
II was Wendell. the year before. Coy,
and this year II Is Sam White. This
feet-footed end has the distinction of
doing what no other Princeton man
ever did-winn.ng both the Harvard and
Yale games by his own efforts. In the
Harvard contest ne ran 90 yards for
q touchdown after recovering q blocked
KICK. Not content with this PERFORM
ance. White gathered Gardner, the
Crimson quarter. IN his arms much In
mo same fashion a. . mother would
handle her babe. and toppled him over
his own soal-line for the two points that
gave Princeton the victory. "Luckv'
exclaimed thousands Of followers of
the sport. White. playing In the Yale
game two weeks later. dispelled this
assertion. With tho sams alertness
that he displayed all year. White
bounced on the ball after the Yale
backfield had misunderstood stgnals, and
80 AoE wa 0uOs IN
cidentally. the championship.
White doesn't depend entirely .upon
his knack Of recovering a LOOSE ball
FOR a position on the team. He's a hard
tackler and a fast man in getting down
the field under kicks. But swapping up
a rolling ball and running with IL in
stead OF falling on II 10 hds own individual

White has developed an Improvement.
An end OF the Shevlin n Kilpatrick
type. Bomeisler Is selected for the other
end position chiefly because of his phen-
omenal playing in the Princeton game.
Not . Princeton man could circle his
end or run back punts very far when
Bomeisler was around. and ne had a
habit Of being around when he WA
needed. Weighing 100 pounds and very
fast. Yale's end was a terror to oppos-
Ing runners. Until IN injury forced him
to retire Bomeisla' was the most con-
spicious man In the Yale Harvard CON-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ALTON, the Navy captain, prac-
tically kicked himself into q half
back position. He was easily the
best kicker in h East. His place kick
won the Army game. while his long-dis-
lance punting was the chief factor in
the nne showing the Middies made this
year. Dalton's running with the ball
was almost as good rs his ldcking.
First ne would flash around an end with
the speed OF a Pendleton. Then he
would tear through the line with the
strength of Wendell. There can be no
questioning Dalton's right to a position
in the backfield.
Wendell, while he didn't play M TO
last years standard. was one OF the best
halfbacks this season. He rarely failed
to gain through the line on any OF his
plunges. Wendell well earned his So
briauet of 1.-The Human Bullet" The
Harvard back was also very strong on
the defensive.
Thorpe OF tho Indians. Dewitt of
Princeton. Camp of Yale and Campbell
OF Harvard were other great halls.

CENTRE-ketcham,

|ETCHAM played the pivotal posi-
ton better than any one in the
- East. This Brooklyn boy. de-
spfte his bulk. was remarkably fast.
His open field playing was great. The
New Haven coaches sradicated a fault
OF passing low that ketcham displayed
earlier In the season. n toward the
end he developed into one OF the bes,
passing centres Yale has had in recent
years. Ketcham's work in the Harvard
game was scintillatlng. He was down
the field with his ends and succeeded
in stopping the mad rushes of Wendell.
Bluethenthal gave Ketcham a close
race for the final honors. but the Yale
man won out on all round ability.
