above all, GOODNESS and an excellent judg-

OF Colgate, by his work in the quarter

gridiron, both in feeding his backs and
moving into the most advantageous DO

He is an accurate passer. cool and

Taking up the other back field men
Camp has this to say: when IT comes
to the half backs and full backs there is
again a plethora OF candidates with
Brickley. of course the star. This man
needs little further description as deserv-
ing his place this year. His drop kick
in the Princeton game, which won the
contest, while il was a short one, was
really very remarkable, from the fact
that the ball WAS heavy and greasy, the
field thick with mud, requiring an I'M
usual drive to get the ball over the bar.
Brickley showed I'm that game also some
remarkable running. not alone in line
breaking, but after he got through the
line. He followed this up with Ave goals
from the field in the Yale game, monop-
olizing all the scoring for his side in that
contest, as well as doing some excellent
ling plunging. Altogether, he kept undi-
minished his last seasons reputation, and
added a few more laurels
'Mahan, of Harvard, is one of the best

which shows that the big teams have not
yet fully realized the possibilities OF the
new game. He criticises the Eastern
teams for their lack OF diversified attack,
and their unwillingness to play a run
ming game and use the forward pass.
In discussing this point he says that
there must be some basis of running at
tack for the forward pass. or a team
cannot hope to be on the first place.
With a few exceptions. he states, the
forward pass was poorly executed and
until the men attain, by practice, a con-
dition approaching perfection in the
throwing and receiving OF passes, this
feature of the game will be largely un-
developed. Better passing and not a
greater variety of passes is what the
game needs, according to Mr.. Camp.

Pennock n Revelation.
Pennock. the Harvard guard. Camp al
ludes to as a revelation. After discuss
ing Pennock's proclivity for opening up
holes in the opponents line for his own
backs, Camp continues: He has proved
the most consistent guard, exhibiting the
same qualities that gave him the place
over any others last year. In fact. 1t
is only fair to give him credit for some
thing better than consistency. II he
did not play such a well-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 line this season on slipping a quiet
opening for his back to come through"
Referring to Brown, of the Navy. his
selection for the other guard position,
Camp writes: Brown would make an
ideal mate for Pennock. While perhaps
not so strong on his feet as the Harvard
guard, he is rangier, extremely powerful
and a bulwark to the line. Plays can
be built on or around him, which few
guards could take care of, and on the
defense he is an immovable block. His
ability as a kicker fs-an added asset for
his field goal kicks have before this
brought victory to the Navy, and this
year these kicks scored all of their nine
points against the Army"
Dcs Jardien in Center.
In discussing his selection for center,

his team to win the long-desired victory.
