COMPOSITE AEL-AMERfCA
 OF THIRTY-FtvE. ExPEKTe.
BrfcIdey Unanimous Choice For
 hsIfbecl< Position and Only One

This year there has been a decided unan1mity of opinion among the ex- perts in picking AI-Amerfcan foot ball teams in maj jority of the posi- tiOns and the composite eleven which has been put together as a result of ty-f1ve men will appear for the most part similar to majority of the teams found in the various news papers in the east. The difference of opinion is interesting and each se- lector undoubtedly had good reason in his own mind for making his de- cision of any particular player. Many of the teams undoubtedly have been picked without the so-called expert having seen all of the players in ac- tua1 conflict, but for the most part the teams selected have been picked by men actually on the ground.

The greatest similarity of opinion was found in picking a center and one halfback, Ketcham of Yale being the choice of thirty four and Brickley of Harvard of thirty-hve. The greatest diversity of opinion is quarterbacks. For the ends, Bo- meisler of Yale has been an almost unanimous choice, while Brickley and Thorpe are general choices
