is impossible to pick a team that would
cause the general following to agree, and
for this reason apologies are always in
order for the selection. y.
Opinions differ as TO the relative merits
Of the players, partisan spirit creeping
iTs to bias, to certain extent, the choice.
However in the mind of the writer, the
purpose OF picking an aIl-star eleven is
tc bring together the players who have
played the most consistent game for
their team and would make a strong
unit, rather than to consider what a
player is capable of doing or has accom-
Plished in the past
Admittedly, there are many players who
deserve consideration whose work at
times during the season has attracted
general attention. However, in selecting
the man for the job any number of quail
iications must first be considered. Not
alone mechanical efforts, but stiffness,
headwOrk. and GOODNESS, and a number
OF other items must be taken into con-
sideration.
The all-high football eleven for the sea-
son Of 1914 presents an aggregation of re-
Inarkable strength when you take into
consideration the caliber of the men who
make up the personnel OF the first eleven
and the unusual number of available
substitutes on the second team ready to
take the place of any first-string man.
The development of the Technical
eleven to a team that compares favor
ably with any combination of recent
years. and one that looked the superior
throughout the series. and the wonderful
showing Of the Business eleven, the best
team ever representing the Rhode Island
avenue school. were the features Of the
series just passed. Tech has six men on
the roll of honor, Business and Central

Mackall was a player that would only
put his supreme effort in his work when
he thought it necessary. His ability to
excel in pen field with that natural
ability to always be close to the ball. is
what earned for him a place of honor.
In assisting his tackle in disposing OF an
opposing end. Mackall Is without peer
in the schoolboy ranks.
Belcher, of Central. is a player who
could assume all the responsibilities of
an end position and perform in creditable
style. AS an open player and a close
follower OF the pigskin, he is a good
second to HardeIl and MackaIl, but lacks
the experience to master a varied attack.

Rohrer, OF Western. and Saxon, of Gen.

amount OF credit for their excellent work.
Roberts. Of Tech, is given special men,
ton. 'Jakey' is a player that was sacri-
feed for the good OF the team. Possess
ing remarkable ability as an end, he was
sent at the last moment to the backfield
and played well. If Roberts had played
end throughout the series it is almost
certain that he would have found a place
on the honored team. He did not play the

reversals of form. More credit is due

ity to size up an opposing eleven in the
early stages of a contest and to hurl
back an attack at them in such man.

Steed. of Tech. eXcels. He is the man
who sizes up the situation in much better
shape than any of the other rivals for
the job. The diminutive Tech field gen.
eral is the best man in the series in
handling punts. and is also a valuable
man in the interference. He seldom
misses the opposing ends when the end
is being skirted. and is the best receiver
Of forward passes in the series.
Culligan. Of Business. is another player
who has shown real ability as d quarter
back, driving his team well at all times
and showing marked ability in carrying
the ball through the broken field He Is
hardly as good a general as Steed, bit
because of his exceptional ability as

Central, stood out as stars of their team
all season.
For the other half back position there
are several men worthy of consideration.
Ray Wise is given the call over McDon-
aid. of Central: Baldwin, OF Eastern, ana
Parker, Of Tech. all Of whom are clever
performers. Wise is not only a good man
in broken field, but hits the line with
telling effect, while on the defense, is
a sure tackler, and a good man to break
up forward passes. He also has phe-
nOmenal ability to score points by the
toe route from almost any distance or
angle of the field. Next to Ochsenreiter,
OF Tech, Ray is probably the most finish
ed player in the schools.
Ochsenreiter Most Valuable.
At full back, OchsenreIter, Of Tech,
is the only man for the position. He is
head and shoulders over any other rival

for the call and is thought by many to
be the most valuable man in scholastic
togs today. Gene is a broken field
runner par excellence" and as well is
the fiercest line-plunger in the schools.
He can stand an unesteemable amount
of punishment and still perform in clever
style bearing a smile and a cool head In
the thickest battle. 1t is doubtful II there
ever has been a man in the scholastic
series who is as capable ~ every depart
ment as Ochsenreiter at this stage of his
scholastic career. 1t is the opinion Of
the writer that it will be a long time be-
fore the schools can boast of a performer
in Ochsenreiter's class and accomplish
as much as he has in the last two years.
The ends OF the last series were OF only
ordinary class. Seldom. il ever before,
has in the scholastic ranks been such a
dearth of high class extremity men. Har-.
dell, of Tech, is the first selection. He
has been more consistent in his play
ing than any of his rivals. Although small
of stature he possesses a world of speed
in covering kicks and never misses a
tackle once he has left his feet. Always
on the alert, never allowing the opposing
tackles TO box him in or to fool him
by a delayed pass or a criss-cross play,

the "hesitating guard defense" he was a
bulwark, while on the offense he did not
suffer in comparison His ability TO knife
men while running in the interference
in which capacity the Tech guards were
used on long end runs, was largely in
his favor. Sabine also found time to
charge through and pick on men in the
secondary defense on mass plays.
Stokes, Of Central. a large, massive
youth, yet in no way clumsy, Is placed
at the other guard position.
He was always a steady charger. who
never failed to do his own work in
proper manner, but always was willing
to lend helping hand on either side OF
him. On the defense he proved as i'm
movable as the Rock of Gibraltar.

FIRST TO WIN RECOGNITION
Earliest of American Authors to Gain the Coveted Praise of Europe
 Was Washington Irving.

The first American author to win general recognition of his genius in Great Britain was Washington Irving. who died in his seventy-seventh year at Sunnyside, N Y. The immortal humorist, historian and essayist was born In New York. the son of a native of Scotland He was educated for the law but his tastes were all in the direction of literature. and his legal career was a brief and almost brief, less one. At eighteen he wrote Let ters of Johnathan Oldstyle,' which were published in the New York Morning Chronicle. newspaper owned by his elder brother, Dr, Peter Irving He was only twenty-five when he wrote the celebrated 'History of New York, by Diedrich knickerbock- CT" From 1915 until 1892 Irving re- sided in England where his genius was fully recognized. Later he re turned to Europe as United States minister to Spain, and spent several years in Madrid In the opinion of both American and English critics, Irving has few equals for grace of style and purity and elegance of die tion and his works seem destined to take their place among the great clas- sics of the English language.

DEADLY FOE OF FEMiNINlSM
Writers Bitter Criticism of Type of Women Very Much in the
 Minority.

There is one type of woman, whom l venture to call "Old Woman who is probably a bitterer foe to feminin- ism than any man. and that is the superfeminine type, the woman for whom nothing exists except her sex. who has no interests except the deck ing of her body and the quest of men. This woman, who once dominated her own species, still represents the ma jority of her sex It is still true that the majority of women are concerned with little save the fashions. novels, plays and vaudeville turns. Those women want to have "a good time" and want nothing more; they are ready to prey upon men by fattering them: they encourage their own weak ness, which they call charm" and generally aim at being pampered slaves, because, from their point of view, 1t pays better than being work ing partners. Evidence of this is to be found in women's shops. in the con- tinual change in fashions, each of which is a signal to the male. and in the continual increase in the sums spent on adornment; it Is not uncom- mon for a rich woman to spend $500 on frock: s250 has been given for a hat, and $25,000 for a set of furs.-W.
