Review Of First Team.
In reviewing his flrst team selections
Camp FIRST takes up the ends. or Hog
sett. he says
although perhaps regarded as small
for the position Of end, he demonstrate;
cd thoroughly his ability 10 discount
criticism OF that kind. He was won
derfully fast down the Held. clever
tackler. quick to size up the situation
and frst class man on attack. HIS
former experience az a half back made
him doubiy serviceable in interference,
and rounded out his play into a com
pleto product OF grdiron skill He is
good receiver OF passes and quick
and accurate In diagnosing a play"
Discussing Merrilat. he says:
lie is strong. fast and has an
excellent intuition. He Is early down
tho field under kicks. good runner
with the ball, hard. sharp tnckler.
and has enough weight to DO effective
in blocking on the line as we'll as in
meeting Interference. Then lie Is the
star of the year IN his handling OF
the receiving end OF tho forward pass.
rs his great work in the Navy game
showed when lie made two touch
downs by this route"
He writes OF Balln. the Princeton
tackle:
"He Is remarkable tackle OF the
OF especial interest In American foot
ball. a guard and centre must be
steady beyond all things. a tackle has
IN opportunity 10 show brillancy and
aggressive work. and has more right
TO roam over the field II he has the
ability TO size up situations quickly.
This Balm had. and in addition to
his excellent line work it was he, who,
on one or two occasions in the game
against Harvard. proved fast enough
to set down the field after the second
airy defense had missed the man, and
to overtake him from behind"
OF his other selection for tackle.
Camp has this to say:
Talbot, Of Yale, is tho product Of
persistent persevering, painstalsing CT
forts. He possesses n remarkable ply
sioue for tho position. Like BaIlin, OF
Princeton, he is also good In getting
down the field under kicks and while
not so fast as the Princeton man.
he is slightly stronger on defensive
work"
rennock, tho Harvard guard. Camp
alludcs to as Il revelation. After dis
cussng Pennock's Droclivity for OPEN
ini; up holes in the opponents line for
his own backs. Camp continues:
he has proved tho most consistent
guard, exhibiting the same qualities
that gave him tie place over any
others last year In fact it is only
fair to give him credit for something
better than consistency. II he did not
play such a we'll rounded out-Game he
would be regarded as brilliant, for
practically no plays have been made
through him. and he is the best man in
any limo this season on slipping n quiet
opening for his back to come through.
Referring to Brown, OF tho Navy,
his selection for the other guard posi-
ton, Camp writes:
Brown would mako an ideal mate
for Pennock. While, perhaps. not so
strong on his feet as tho Harvard
guard, he Is rangier, extremely power
full and bulwarle TO the line. Plays
Gamble built on or around him, which
few guards could take caro- OF, and on
the defense he is an immovable block.
His ability as kicker Is an added as
set, for his f1e1d-goal kicks have be-
fore this wrought victory to tho Navy.
and this year these kicks scored all
