a little or the hot stove stun IN
FOOTBALL may be In order now and then.
This Is about the last slap the football
fans get at their fayorite pastime. so
let them enjoy the slappine while 1t
still remains possible.
Everybody who has had the inclina-
tion has had time to pick his All
American football eleven. The dean
OF guessers, Walter Camp. started
things. Sporting editors and other
football experts have come to walters
assistance and picked elevens OF their
own, to satisfy those who weren't
pleased with Camps own make.
A comparison of those picked by
others than Camp and that picked by
the dean himself is OF interest.
In the first place, all the critics
were agreed on Ave men and four
positions. The choice OF Ketcham
was unanimous as far as those elevens
which came TO the writer's notice
We're concerned. Ketcham is the Yale
AiLAmerican center OF two years
standing now. he having been chosen
last year as well as this.
Bomeisler, the big, powerful. yet
fast, Yale end was another man whom
everybody looked upon as the logical
choice for one of the end jobs. Bomeis-
Ter played the game of his life this
year and deserved the recognition he
received.
Brickley, the great Harvard half
back, noted for his plunging, running
and above all his drop-kicking. was
elected without dissenting voice. He
was chosen by everybody long before
the official choosing season opened

job beyond recall
Englehorn. OF Dartmouth was an
other who was there In the opinion
OF every elector In the AIlAmericsn
college. The Big Green tackle with
out doubt merited his recognition. also.
Thorpe, the great Indian, OF course,
could not be kept OF the team, al
though 1t was noticeable that the ma
jority OF the critics favored placing
him at the fullback Job rather than at
half as did Walter Camp.
These five men whom Camp choose
We're the choices of others. How
about the men whom Camp chose who
were not popular?
Three men received not q single
supporting vote from any minor critic.
They were Logan, OF Princeton, a
guard; Butler, of Wisconsin, a tackle.
and Crowther, Of Brown, q quarter
back
Either Shrenk Of Princeton. or
Brown Of the Navy, should have been
the choice for one OF the guards, ac-
cording to the bushers. Brown II the
hero OF the Army-Navy game. Shrenk
was not even In Camps third team
Brown was.
II Is noticeable that there was a
greater diversity OF opinion among
the critics regarding the guards than
another position on the team. Pen
mock. OF Harvard, one OF Camps
choices was fairly popular
The critics were suited with Engle-
horn, as has been stated, but Bob
Storer, OF Harvard. should have been
in Buffers place they thought. Storer
was the choice OF every critic except
Camp, whose team was brought to my.
notice. Devore. or the Army, was the
only other man considered. Devore
would probably have been given great
er consideration had he played earlier
in the season as he did In the game
with Navy. Devore was given a Job
on Camps third team, but Storer was
not noticed.
Pazetti, OF Lehigh, was the popular
choice for quarter. Nobody agreed
with Camp that Crowther should be
chosen. It was noticeable that hardly
anybody considered quarterback In
any of the big colleges.
! At end, Camps choosing was fairly
satisfactory although Very. OF Penn
State received enough notice to bring
him TO the fore. He was given a Job
on Camps second team.
| Most critics seemed to think that
Thorpe should be put at the fullback
position. Mercer and Wendell divided
the honors among those who gave
Thorpe a halfback job. Hobey Baker.
of Princeton, was given halfback joJ
by those who put Thorpe at fli,l
Wendell got on Camps second team
and Baker on his third In the fullback
and half back positions respectively.
Butler, the only western man chos-
on by Camp. was not considered by
other critics. In fact none OF them
considered any western man what
ever.
