You have been feasting your eyes for
the past two or three weeks on all-star
football clevens. but what do you think
10 the lineup Of the composite all-star
eleven?
Twenty-three writer's have made their
selections. The majority vote Is here
shown. Charlie Brickley, Harvards

Thorpe. the wonderful Carlisle Indian
leader. are named on every picked
team. Bob Storer. the frs: Harvard man
to cross Yales goal line for touch
down in twelve years. is named on all
but two Of these elevens.
Bomcisler, Yale's whirlwind end, and
Ketcham. the Ellis wonderful center
wrtters. These players. judged wholly
from the voting. are the most popular
men IN the game. at least in the East.
Mixup In Backfield.
There Is considerable Of a mlxup in
the oackfeld. some Of the experts not
even designating the different positions.
Briekley Is named as fullback by one
writer. On fifteen elevens Thorp is
placed at halfback. On eight he Is
played at fuliback. As he leads all
rivals at fullback. he Is therefore ac.
corded this position. though with hardly
half a. many votes as ne received for
halfback. for he still has twice as many
votes a. Wendell. his nearest compe.
titor.
Placing Thorpe at fuilback gives

halfback positions. Brickley. Thorpe.
