HE AIL-AMEKlCAINS
The 1914 football season has brought
TO the fore many wonderful players, yet
from out of the lot not one has risen
who can be called the peer OF all those
who play his position not enc stands
out uuchallenecd as the greatest foot
ball player OF the year.
I'm other years it was different. Near
ly every season uncovered at least one
player who stood head and shoulders
above every other man IN tine game
Last year il was Charles Brickley, the
marvellous Harvard fulback. The 1913
season developed a number of great full
backs and halibacks, yet not one could
compare with Bricklcy.
Glance back through the years and you
will find that each brought out at least
one player whose fame is undying. He's
ton. the great Michigan halfhack, never
will be forgotten as long as football is
played. The fame of the Poe boys, OF
Princeton, will liva ms long as Princeton
remains college Who ever win forget
about Pat UDca. the old Wisconsin
player. whose 90 yard drop kick against
Northwestern in 1898 still stands as the
longest ever made? ODca. as a punter,
never had known an equal. Nor has
anyone come TO the fore in the Is years
since he quit the game who can drop
kick with such uneung accuracy or
from such long distances as ODea He
rarely failed to score when he drop
kicked from within the 5O-yard line and
his punts used to average around 60
yards.
Walter EclSersall. the Chicago quar-
terback second only TO O'Dea in kick
ing prowess, is another whose memory
ever will be cherished in the football
world. Then there's "Budgc" Hehiefn-
ger, the giant Yale guard of the old
days; "Snake" Ames, the greatest quar-
terback that Princeton ever had: Ted
Coy, the great Yale fullback of a few
years ago; Sammy White, of Princeton.
who alone beat Yale and Harvard in ono
year.
Trafford the old Harvard star, who
played In 1SS9-1S90, is down in the
football records as having kicked a
greater number of goals. from long
range, than any man that ever played

will be forgotten in the football world.
Looking over the 1914 field of can

American honors, one finds the great
