brightly, however. In the Dartmouth

IN the same class with Hart by a long
shot- LittlejOhn Of the Army; Scully OF
Yale, Kratz Of Brown, Munk of Cornell,
Probst of Lafayette, played fairly con-
sistent football
Fisher Of Harvard and Duff Of
Princeton were the two best guards.
These two men were far above any
other pair Of guards, and, for that mat
ter, either Of them would have made
a credttable showing against the great
Glass, who was the best guard that
ever wore the mOlsskins. Duffs play
ing IN the Harvard and Yale games
was especially sensational. Fisher did
not get into his true stride until late
IN the season, but against Princeton,

BluenthenthaI Of Princeton was the

football in all Of PrincetOn's games;

made the New Haven pivot look like
counterfeit money in the Yale-Prince-

exceptionally good work, as did Hunt

The Quarterback Position.
The quarterback position was hotly
contested, but Howe Of Yale figures
trifle better than Sprackling of Brown
and Miller Of Penn. State. True, HoWe's
generalship in the Princeton game was
severely criticised, but he more than
made up for this weakness in his run
ming back Of kicks. Against Harvard
he was demon and got all that was
possible out Of his men. And his run
ming back Of punts was even more SEN
sational than in the game against the
Tigers at New Haven.
Sprackling did not live I'D to his 1910
record, although he was not favored
by the same strong eleven that repre-
sented Brown - months ago. At that
Sprackling proved every bit as good as
a man in a broken field as the Yale
captain. Miller Of Penn. State, while
not as flashy a performer as either
Howe or Sprackling, proved a consist

Captain Dalton of the Navy, is prob

Dalton is the first man who has been
the deciding factor in more than one
Army-Navy battle. He will go down to
history as one Of the greatest drop
kickers of all time.
Captain Arthur Howe of Yale is
probably the next greatest Of the re-
firing captains. His kicking and gen
eral all around work were OF high
order throughout the season. and he
would have been greater shining

more of the time. Howe was strictly an
open field man. and his light weight
