POSSIBILITIES OF
ALLAMERICAH TEAM
Some Fast Players Among
College Gridiron Stars
This Season
lBy w. S. Earnsrvorthl.

New York, n. " Nov. 11-FOOtbau
players are figuring on their All
American elevens about this stage Of
the season. and already have probably
decided upon certain players. It is
hardly fair however. for anyone to pick
their man so early, as. not until the
very last game has been played and
won, is 1t certainty VINO is the very
best in his respective position.
The writer. like hundreds OF others,
thinks he knows of few who al
ready are sure of being elected to the
greatest team on paper but the only
way TO mention their names at this
time Of the year is to call them likely
WendaH Looks Good.
Wendau. whose front names are
Percy Langdon, looks to be as sure of
making the All-American team as he
was last year. he is the pivot Of the
great Harvard eleven. Take him away
from the Crimson" backfield and their
attack would be weakened so percent
Sprackliug, Browns captain and
clever fast gated, quick thinking
quarterback. is playing even more SEN
sauOnal ball than last year. The fact
that the Providence man has taken
part in every game, while Howe, Of
Yale, rested in the early battles, is
almost sure TO earn him the job on
Walter Camps "A-A' team.
Howe is every bit as good a general
as Sprackling. but ne is not. in the
opinion Of the writer, as versatile
performer. In the game against
PeunSy, Sprack1ng was demon IN
his attack. He did not show to the
same advantage In the Harvard con-
test inasmuch as the Crimson" ends
kept him well covered. In fact, the
whole Cambridge aggregation were
on tor OF the great Guarterback. and
on this accOunt alone were they able
TO keep Brown from scoring more than
six points.
Cornell has 4 crack quarterback in
Butler He, Sprackling and Howe are
the best field Elckers In the east.
Surely, Butler viii be given a place
when the big paper team is picked
Also Potter Of Harvard has come to
the front faster than expected
Bud Smith, who, with Fitzpatrick was
selected unanimously as end for last
years All-American team, is playing
the same sensational brand Of foot
ball as he did last fall 1t was chiefly
his work that kept Spraclling down
in the Brown game. He looks to be
sure Of occupying another berth this
year on the big team
sam FELTON,, Harvard's other crack
wing man, may also be selected. as he
has improved wonderfully this year
He is Harvard's most accurate holster.
smith Is Classy.
Smith, however, is BY far the classiest
Of the pair The way he intercepted
immense. And. believe me. the little
Providence eleven Is far ahead Of any
other in this mode Of attack
The Brown system Of passing is like
unto a baseball catcher throwing to
second TO catch a runner stealing. The
player who losses the ball figures it
the receivers duty to cover a certain
spot where the ball is aimed for. OF
course, 1t takes adept receivers to I
make the play successful but In Ash I

Brown has as good a pair in this line /

Pendletons PrincetOn's great back is I
every bit as good this year as he was /
last year and there doesn't seem to be
a chance OF keeping him out Of the Z
running for the All-American team. He I
SIS the best broken field runner in the
country. If the Tigers Interference
this year had been up TO the standard, .
7 am sure that PendletOn would have
been the biggest ground gamer Of the
season.
Dewitt Great Eicker.
Princeton has a great kicker in De- 1
Witt, younger member Of the family
OF that name, and the Tigers have
often relied on him to bring home
the bacon" During the past month he
IS getting off long, twisting spirals I
that are surely difficult to freeze 10. I
Dewitt can be classified as zone of

There are two other ends, captain /
