Costello. Of Georgetown. premier of all
the handlers Of the pigskin in the South,
has been shifted from quarter back po-
sition to left half. and Gooch, of yir-
ginia, because of his wonderful defensive
ability, is slated for first honors in the

at end running from punting position
was equaled by no other than the Hill
tops demon, Costello.
Young, of Washington and Lee, showed
better work in the half back position
than any other half back in the South.
His work for the Lexington team in the
game against North Carolina showed his
real worth and the selecting Of him gives
no room for comment
Tenny, of A. & NJ, OF North Carolina
was placed in full back position because
Of his vicious attacks when line plungtng
and his ability of backing up the, line
on the defense.
Billy Martin. Of Georgetown. and Mar

best selections at the flank positions.

consistent offensive player in the Mary
land intercollegiate series and this is
the reason for selecting the dashing half
back of the College Park eleven. Moore.
the heady little captain OF the Gailaudet
team, is picked as the second best quar-
ter back in this section, because of his
sure-shot execution of the many plays
which the Kendall Green eleven can boast
of. Costello was the only man in this
vicinity that showed any more class at
running back punts than Moore.

Pritehard ran his team faultlessly in
the Navy contest, he also ran back

put the Navy on the run. His ability
in handling punts stamped him as real
quarter back, while his work while d.
recting the attack of the Army showed
his knowledge OF football.
on the other hand, Wilson, of Yale,
failed miserably in the handling Of
punts, the one department Of the game
in which he was supposed TO be strong.
In the Harvard game, Wilson fumbled
at least a half dozen times. and the
only time he showed any real form was

AVERY A GREAT END
Ry c. W. SWAN.

To pick an All-Eastern team,
after seeing only Yale, Harvard,
Army, Navy, Georgetown, Vir-
ginia, and Carlisle in action is a
mighty hard proposition, as sew
eral stars of the first water were
members of other gridiron aggre-
cations holding sway this side of
the Allegheneys.
Still, the accompanying selection
is as fair a one as possible. The
players placed in several positions
stand out so prominently that lit
tie comparison is necessary. Charley
Brickley is without a peer as full
back, his drop-kicking alone get
ting him the place. .>.
In the Yale game, Brickley boot
ed five goals from the field, and
every one was as clean as whistle.
His work in this respect was really
wonderful, as he took plenty of
time, and did not hurry boot. He
also played a good defensive game,
while his work in advancing the
ball was of the highest order.
Then, in the half back positions,
we have Harry Costello, George
towns great little'feld general, and
Guyon, the sensational line plunger
of the Carlisle Indians. Costello

ner, but is also a wonderful drop

the right end position on this honor list
because of his wonderful ability at han

fensive work. Foltz was also one of
the best defensive ends in this locality
and next to Donnelly he showed the best

Moriarty Stands Alone.
At the tackle position Moriarty, of
Georgetown, stands out head and should

Harry Costello Is Shifted to
Half Back Position, with
Gooch IN Quarter.
by JOHN A. DUGAN.

The picking of an AIl-South Atlantic
team for the season Of 1913 gives suffi-
cient room for argument no matter in
which way the style Of player may be
considered, or from what angle a de-
cision OF awarding a position to the many
prominent candidates is reached, because
Of the vast amount OF evenly rated ma
terial and the unusual number of second
string men ready to step into the place
Of the first position men mentioned.
Up to date the many selections OF the
star outfit already named brings out a
great number Of the best pigskin chasers
in this section, but a few of the promi-
nent ones are yet unnamed. The defen-
sive game played by all the eIevens in
this division was far above that played
by the teams in most of the other
Eastern sections, outside of the clashes
between the big colleges. Taking as an
example the ArpyNavy game. The
middies met and defeated all the elevens
around this section by scores of good
margin, and at all times showed the
best of a defense, but when the combi-
nation of Pritchard to Merrillat of the
Army. outfit opened up on the Annapolis
boys there was nothing to that stonewalI
defense that our young future naval lead
ers boasted of against the South Atlantic
crews.
Offensive Work Good.
The offensive game as played by most
Of the elevens in this division was con-
sidered fair from every experts view, but
many Of the local eievens lacked that
necessary punch in their early season
games, and outside Of three teams, Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical, Of North
Carolina; Virginia, and WASHINGTON and
Lee, the scoring in the October battle.
was small, and the reason given by all is
the same cry which has been heard for
the past two weeks about all the Eastern
colleges, that Of being unable to master
the open game.
The ends for the past season were be-
low the standard, and although there
were many fair ones, Donnelly, OF George
town, is given first honors over this
field. Donnelly has been the most con-
sistent of all the performers in the
South, being always alert and never al
lowing the opposing backs to box. him
on delayed play. His world of speed
on getting down under punt and never
missing tackle placed the Hilltop
tanker in class by himself in this sec
ton. Foltz, of Gallaudet, although small
Of stature, looks to be the next best Sc
lection for the other extremity position.
