ming This Year.
It's rather early in the football sea-
American footballers. but, Just the
same. some young pe2sons hailing from
the different institutions of learning
already have performed In such style
that they may be regarded Ak among
the truly great, IN a football way.
Chloe, the Dartmouth quarter back, is
considerably among those present this
/ year. Chez last year was generally
selected as tho all EASTERN quarter
| bnck because OF his fine work. hut had
to step aside when the all-American
selections were MADE and surrender
the honor to Dorlas. the great general
of the 1918 Notre Dame team
| Up TO the present time, Ghec seems
! to stand head and shoulders above the
other star quarter backs. 1t is pos
siblc that in the big games to be played
this month some OF the other quarter
! backs Will perform In style that Will
eclipse Ghee, but any one who expects
i to overshadow Ghee's work must do
some scurrNing.
Solon. the Minnesota full back, is
tearing up the opposition lines in a
surprising fashion this year, He was
/ good last year. but this year his work
| is brilliant. On the defensive, solon is
tower of strength, and. IL he Keeps
UP his early work, he Will demand oon-
siderable attention when the all
American Jobs are passed out.
Talbot. of Yale who was Walter
/! Camps selection for. one nf the ALL
! American tackles, Is playing rar be-
yond his work Of last year, and, unless
he cracks during the big games, he
is practically certain of being the
American tackles.
| LeGorge, Yale sophomore, has been
doing some wonderful work for Yalo
In the full bnek position He hasn't
been tested In the big games as get,
but his showing in the early games
forces tho football experts to give him
great consideration at this time. Ie-
Gorge is game clear through. He's
hhe line sniasher, an adept at the open
! style game. and great mar on the
defensive. Everywhere he has boon
regarded as one OF tho r-ason's finds.
Splawn and NTaulbetsch, the great
Michigan bnckneld men. seem pretty
certain OF landing jobs on the ali
|
their past form, may mako strong bid
! for places on the all.American Both
arc fine hooters, both are fast, and
hot, can hit /line almost with tile
Heston power OF old. Aimost-but not
quite.
Huehitt, the quarter back star OF
Michigan. seemed certain of the honor
| OF Icing the All-Weatern qua rter back
until Injuries forced him out OF the
game. Hughitts future work may not
be affected by his injurles-and II MAJ.
If it IS. 1t probably will kill Hughitt's
! chances For the All-Western honor.
Knowles and Ainsworth, Of Yale.
have been doing some f1ne backfeld
work. They have. the forward pass
down to a fine point. Both men are
clrclins the ends this year in way
that brought big gains for Yale. and
both are heatly.
Soucy, OF Harvard, the ALL Ea stern
centre last year. won't grab the honor
this year unless he makes n surpris.
ing Improvement. His work at that
position has been a disappointment.
! Wiley, OF Yale. has been rushing along
ut u great clip, and he surely will be
In position TO. make strong bid for
the big honors IL he maintains his past
CLIP in the Princeton and Harvard
games.
The University of Pittsburgh eleven,
which already has beaten some OF the
, hest and biggest teams In the East. will
put forth number Of candidates for
the high honors- Ballin. OF Prince
! ton. one Of Camps Allan erienii tackles
last year, Is performing In fine style
, this year He seems like strong can
didate for the All Eastern honons. and
| may take the !iiIAmerican again.
| The University OF Chicago has two
| fine bnckfleld mon and two great lines
men That deserve much consideration
when the All-Western honorsN are doled
out. Des Jardien, Chicago centre. who
was tho almost unanimous -All-Amer-
lean selection last year; Is perform
ing in great fashion this year. and un-
| doubtedly will draw the double honor
| Of being selected az the -All-Western
| and Ali-American centre for 1914.
| Brickley the great Harvard full
hack. probably would have been the
unanimous All-Amerioan full back had
he remained I'm the game throughout
| tho season. But tho fact that he will
be out for all the big games seems to
| Kill his chances for landing the big
| honor.
| or course. no definite selections OF
| the all-star teams can be made at
! this time. The big games still arc TO
he played. 1t Is the big games that
| furnish the real tests. Some players
show mp as wonders during the pre-
! lirninary gnmes-when pitted against
| lighter teams. But In the big games
| they fail. 1t Is on their showing In the
big games. more than on their showing
| in the small games that the selection
| must be made.
| But this one things seems fairly GER
| tain. The players who drew Jobs on
the All-Amerlcan. All-Bastern and ALI
! Ncstarn teams last war. nj who n ro
| In the game this year. have hne
| chance OF repeating. because, up to
the present only few players out OF
tho hundreds of new ones. have risen
hto heights from which they can chal-
| lenGe the stars OF 1918.
