New York, Nov. 2s.--Following the ali
nual army.navy football game will cont
the usual selection Of all-American, all
eastern and all.western teams for the
season of 1914, The adherents of the
two United States academy teams will
await these mythical combinations with
more than usual interest this season
since both the Annapolis and West Point
teams include players thought by their
admirers to be of all-American calibre.
Last year the army and navy each sue.
ceeded in placing a player on the team
considered by football followers in gem
eral to be the nearest approach to an
official eleven. Brown of the cadets
team was placed at right guard and Mer.
HAT of the middies at right end. This
brought the total up to 10 for the Pc
Rod extending from 1901 to 1913, Bunk
or, the armys right tackle, and DAILY,
quarterback, in 1901 were the first serv-
ice players to make the all-American
team. DAILY had, however, made the
teams of 1898 and 1909 while playing
quarter for Harvard.
In 1902 the cadets were again repre-
sented by Bunker, who was placed at
right halfback in that year. Two years
later the army's famous center, Tipton,
WAS the unanimous choice of the experts
for the position of passer back of the
ball Three years elapsed before an
academy player was again mentioned
and then the navy placed Lague, left end
of the 1907 combination, on the eleven,
while Erwin, the armys right guard was
also named. It was not until 1911 that
the service football men made the all
American team again. In that year the
two academies divided honors, Devore of
the cadets being at right tackle and
Dalton of the navy at fullback. As re-
suit the count stands at present, army
seven, navy three.
