Twenty Greatest
 Football Players
List Include Stars From Yale, Harvard. Penn and
 Princeton

There have been many wonderful football knights keyed up to grand concert form, in many parts of Ann erica, but picking the twenty best members of the Big Four implies that many who have been famous wlll not be founR in the selections and that "All-AmericAn members of crack teams VIII ne eliminated in many instances and that the player as player not as a member of a team will be chosen.
 Seven athletes. all members of Big Four teams, the colleges being Penn. Princeton Yale and Harvard, sat down at the Racquet Club, New York the other evening and chose the best men of their respective colleges and then made the following concensus cast for
 ~Heffelfinger. Brown, shevlin. Glass. Hinkey. Coy, Hogan and But
 Princeton-Dewitt, Poe and King.
 Harvard-Graydon Cutting, Daily, Campbell and Wendell.
 Penn Stevenson, Hare, Smith, Brooke and HoIlenback.
 This gives Yale eight players, Princeton 8 Harvard 4 and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania 5 on the list of twenty stars of all time. Wendell of Harvard is the only 1911 player who is picked on that team and Wendell was missed by many of the critics on their All-American selections, but the graduates were of the opinion that he was the best line hitting halfback
 
 equally as effective on the defence as he was a puncher of holes when he was carrying the ball The only two men who compared with him in their opinion were Ted Coy. of Yale and Andy Smith of Penn.
 Henelhnger was a Yale lineman at Yale. giant in stature. man of enormous strength: Gordon Brown came ten years later and he was the se me style player IS Heffelfnger;B But terworth was fullback. fast dodg. inc 7Iox rk7f at h1z+ f0c in 1894: Tom Shevlin was an end, a 1S0- pcunder. who came at a man like. a thunderbolt and was seldom boxed by the tackles: Ed. Glass was a lineman. who. according to Mike Murphy, is the strongest man he has ever seen: Frank HinFey Is regarded at Yale as the peer of all the Blue players and he was an end. At Yale every year a picture of Hinkey in action is shown the players just on the eve of a big game. It de- picts Hintey in all of his ferocity go- ward flying wedgs. Jim Hogan was lineman, a veritable knot of might, as an oak tree 100 years old, while Ted Coy is accounted the best of the line busters" and kicker who had few equals and no superiors at spiral boot team linemen. two ends and two full bac'-s-
 John Dewitt. of Princeton. was a player who did all that any man could do to beat Yale Al sharpe, the old Ysle back. sevs the entire Yale team could not fatigue him, a pretty com pliment and true one.. Dewitt was a lineman on the defence, he dropped back and ran with the ball on the of fence at least half of the time and he did all of the Tigers bunting. Poe was an end. a flash of speed and true to the traditions of his family. He scored on and beat Yale with a kick and won again the next year by snatching up a tumble. King was a leader, a player, a great catcher of punts and splendid runner with. the ball.
 Graydon. of Harvard. was a full back. the man who lugged the ball in the Crimson's tandem play. Few men could deal the jolt he delivered to the line and remain throughout the game. Daly was a quarterback the best that Harvard ever had. He could drop kick. pilot team and was a great runner of kicks. Campbell was an endl He was a terror to quar- terha cks who had to ca tch punts for he threw them So hard that they could seldom stand more than three or four of his diving tackles. Wendell was a jugPerne ut who tore apart every line he faced. Stoc'ry and with a hack broad as a hack he just waded throush all that faced h'm. His eains were about four yards to the rush.
 Vincent Stevenson, of Penn, was
