AGGRESSIVE WORK COUNTS
The attack of team. however. is
always the best line OF defense, and
Stanford demonstrated this on Satur-
! day by defeating California and hold
! ing the blue and gold away from its
lines by its methods of attack. Cali
fornia realized the truth of the attack
| too late, and only in the last 10 min
utes did the blue and gold show that
attack is the best method of defense.
| The All-America team here pre-
sented is selected along the lines of
attack 1t is quite possible that the
Rugby union Will select Peart of Cali
fornia as the fullback for its ALL
American team. but. judging by the
wonderful game he played at center
three quarters. he would prove of far
better service to his team In this
center position. He shows everything
necessary for the position, though
| there were one or two times that he
did slip up in taking passes cleanly.
However. that is bound to happen in
the best of regulated families
Young Skinner Of California showed
a remarkable defensive ability and
played a phenomenal game at full
back. He will get no more strenuous
attack by the New Zealanders than
he got Saturday, and the lad has
proved that he is able to meet the
situation.
He is not as good or strong a full
back as Peart, but by placing him at
! fullback the attack is strengthened
| by having Peart footloose and free
to go into the three-ouarter line.
Carroll A REAL STAR
/ Many will undoubtedly be surprised
/ that Carol is not selected as center
three-quarters. Carol. of course, was
the whole show on Saturday. With
Peart in center, however, 1t gives Car
rol an opportunity to shine as a scor-
ing man in his correct and legitimate
position OF wing three-quarters.
True Carol was nearer up to the
play for defensive work at center and
was able to take advantage of all
sorts of opportunities and anticipated
many plays. But give the speedy Aus
! tralian a chance on the wing and he
will justify his selection as a winger-
/ For the other wing Urban has land
ed the berth. Reeves and Urban are
1 in slightly different classes. Urban is
more of an opportunist and an at
lacking player, while Reeves Is a
solid defensive man, able to stop the
most deadly rushes Urban can also
stop rushes, but not in the same way
that Reeves can. Urban. however, is
wanted to start rushes and do the
best he can on stopping them.
There will be no argument as to
Austin's selection. He and Carol were
the heroes of the Stanford team and
with Peart proved the three best men
| on the field Saturday. Lachmund
/ showed lots OF class and played
sterling heady game. He showed good
| attacking qualifications as well as
strenuous defense.
TTLTON AT HALFBACK
For halfback there will possibly be
! considerable difference of opinion. but
here again Tilton was selected on his
showing in getting the ball away
| from the serum. He showed to better
advantage at this play than Erb did,
while Erb showed better at stopping
rushes than Tilton. The latter, how
ever, is able to cope with the rushes
all right.
