Gordon Brown type, he was steady
charger who never failed to do his own
work, in proper manner, but was al
ways willing to lend a helping hand to
the man wno played on either side of
him. On defense he proved as i'm
movable as the rock Of Gibraltar.
Mum of Cornell was a player who
suffered because of the lack of ability
of his teammates and, on a stronger
team he would have stood out more
prominently.

At the Pivot Place.
At the pivot positions were men of
only little more than average ability.
The passing Of most of the center men
during the past season called for Sc
we're criticism. Time and time again
would the chances of their respective
teams be JeopardiZed by some abomln-
able pass by one Of the center men,
This was more true in the case OF some
of the larger teams than the smaller
ones. To Offset this the work Of the
pivot men on defense when they would

their work stood out very prominently
and called for much praise.
Ketcham of Yale, the greatest Of the
Growing style pivot men in the coun-
fry today. is given the preference over
his closest rivals, Although not play
ing the position the entire season, he
shines so brightly over the other stars
in this position that ne could go in
and outplay anyone else who might be
picked by a large margin,
Ketcham's wonderful speed in cover
ing kicks is another qualification that
would add considerable to his team
strength. His ability to put his team
mates together at critical stages Of a
game. as well as his offensive game,
would no doubt tell in any contest.
Des Jardien OF Chicago one of the
greatest centers that the west has
ever produced, would prove a close
rival to the New Haven captain. His
passing was more consistent, but on
defense he did not show the ability of
his rival.
