Each Man Is Considered Ac-

in His Prime
(By aIOnfe)

New York. \. Y. Sept 3O-The foot
ball season Of 1911 is fairly ander way
and the time is ripe for "dopesters'
Of this that and the other kind TO
get busy with masses Of prOgnOstica-
uOnss advice and retrospect. knowing
the uncertainty of the game, I fear TO
venture into the ueld Of prophecy. Not
yet having had time to make a "a
hOur-a-day study Of the new rules and
conditions, steer clear Of the long
Whiskered stuff" So all that is LEFT
is the retrospect.
Let's get egotistic and essay to pick
an All-American-All-T team A
bold sally this, to be sure, but we jump
at the chance eagerly as pleasure in
stead Of task Any effort TO add.
even in feeble measure, one whit Of
glory to those brave warriors Of the
cleated shoes, who fought, bled and
died on the CORY and glorious grid
iron, is never amiss.
In picking an All-AmeFican-Au-
Time team each man is considered &C
cOrding to his ability when in his
prime. Here is the selection:
The Selections.
Ends-Kilpatrick, Yale; Shevlin,
Tackles-McKay, Harvard; Hogan.
Yale.
Guards-Glass. Yale; Dewitt Prince
ton.
-Heffslinger, Yale.
rback-Eckersau Chicago.
Halfbacks Weeks, Columbia; Hes
ton, Michigan.
Fullback-COy, Yale
For a second team we hand it to
Ends-POe, Princeton; wauseuka
TacSies@Kinney. Yale; COoney
Princeton.
Guards-Fisher, Harvard; Pickarskt
Pennsylvania.
Ceuter-HOlt Yale.
Quarter-SprackIi Brown
Halfbaczs - PendletOn, Princeton
Robinson, st. Louis
Fuuback-Dibbles Harvard.
Yale Leads on First Team.
Thus the first team is made up Of
majority of Yale men-siX Of them.
The other five are divided one apiece
between Harvard, Princeton, Chicago,
Columbia and Michigan. The second
team contains three Princeton, two
Harvard, two Yale, and one each from
Pennsylvania, Carlisle Indians, Brown
and St Louis. On the first team there
patrick and Mckay The second team
has three last year men-Spracklng
Pendleton and Fisher.
AS to the Individual merits Of each
man. Fitzpatrick and Shevlln, Of Yale,
were two ends, as unlike In style as
could be found. Both were 10 second
men on the track and both tipped
the scale at over 200 pounds. They
were bulldogs of the highest type. Poe,
Of Princeton, was a marvel, but was so
much smaller than these two that
he could hardly be selected before
them Wauseuka, the indian, is given
a place on the second team because Of
his remarkable work in running down
under kicks.
In the tackle position Mckay and
Hogan seem supreme. Both built near
the ground, powerful in holding safe
their spot in the line against the de-
fensive tackle, fast runners on a
play, and bulwarks of
defence. Both attained note in break
ing through the opponents line and
spelling plays before they were
started. Kinney, who was HOgan's
side partner at Yale, was much the
same kind Of a man, but trltle slow
err. COOney. who captained Princeton
in one of his greatest years. was of
HE steady denendabIe sort that was
always ready in tight situation to
deliver the goods, but was not as
spectacular as the other three men
toned.
Guard Position Hard to Guess.
The guard position is about the
hardest 20 get a line on 1t is hard !
to observe the work Of these hard
working men i'm the middle of the pile
But nevertheless two men stand out !
above the rest. even here They are Z
Glass, one Of the fiercest, biggest and I
strongest men that ever wore the blue /
Of Eli, and Dewitt, the Princeton Won
der Dewitt would hardly get the I
place were it not for his celebrated I
toe. with which he punted and place ]
kicked farther consistently than any
other man who ever lived For this 4
reason alone he would have to be on /
