III ever there was complete justifl-
cation OF rnie-making, IL was this year.
For two years the really discerning
had protested against the barren at
tempts of one team to score when
two were nearly equal.
When the writer advocated four
downs TO gain 10 yards. there was
contention that an attempt was be-
ing made TO revive old mass plays
and hammering features, taking away
the interesting part OF open running
! 1T was promised these rules would
do away with this condition and not
increase injuries. but increase interest
to player and spectator. Surely the
season has proved this. The casualty
list Is small. the interest was never
I greater and not for years has there
been so little criticism.
FELTON,, Harvard, always long
kicker, steadied until he kicks like his
master, Haughton, with better dis

Held. Kicking alone does not assure
him place on the All-American team.
His work, boxing in tackles and on

"Bomeisler, Yale, outclassed all ends
again. He is the ideal combination.
Covering Flynn's kicking. he was a
spectacle worth seeing
'Englehorn, Dartmouth, was a
good, all-round tackle. He played bet

work against Harvard was excellent.
Butler, Wisconsin, was the best
tackle in the west, which Is saying

Logan, Princeton, played steady
football. and steadiness Is vital for a
guard under modern rules. He coul0

"Pennock. Harvard, was another
dependable guard, needed to complete
the middle arch of defense. He was
good in carrying his charge through,
watchful and resourceful.
'Ketcham, Yale, was ahead OF any
center in the country. He was more
active than last season. So many
times he tackled the runner down
field that he was taken for an end,
and so, many times he stopped, rum
ner coming through the line he was
taken for secondary defense man. =

cessor to former Brown quarters.
Small, but well put together. he car
ried himself splendidly In the running

class catcher OF punts and showed
judgment in selecting plays and men.
