MANY A[L-AMER|CAN
TEAMS ARE CHOSEN !
BY VARIOUS CRITICS
Harvard Has Four Place /
On AlI-American Team.
Princeton and Cornell
Have Two Each

New York, November 29.-The AFTER
math of the football season brings
number of a1l-eastern, a1l-western and
all-American selections which, while
mythical so far as actual playing is
concerned, gives an accurate idea of
the rating of players by positions in the
east The consensus of opinion favors
the following players:
Left end. Harwick, Harvard; left
tackle, Balm, Princeton; left guard,
Pennock, Harvard; center, McEwan,
Army; right guard. Spears, Dartmouth;
right tackle. Trubull, Harvard; right
end. O'Hearn. Cornell; quarterback,
Barrett, Cornell; loft halfback, Bradlee,
Harvard; right halfback, Mahan, Har-
ward; fullback. Whitney, Dartmouth.
For ends Harwick of Harvard is a
unanimous choice with OHearn Cor
nell; Brann, Yale. and Merrilat of the
Army all close seconds BALM of
Princeton and Trumbull of Harvard are
easily the choice for tackles although
Talbot of Yale and Abel OF Colgate
are also prominently mentioned. At
guards, Sears of Dartmouth and PEN
mock of Harvard virtually are alone in
the field. Journey of Pennsylvania and
McEwan of the Army are both put for
ward strongly for center. with Cruik-
shank of Washington and Jefferson an
other favorite.
Barrett of Cornell is the choice for
quarterback, although Prichard of the
Army, Ghee of Dartmouth, Wilson of
Yale and Logan of Harvard have their
supporters For halfback Mahan of
Harvard is selected by almost all
coaches. Bradlee of Harvard, Fleming
and Spiegel of Washington and Jeffer-
son are all given votes The position
of fullback finds but two players as
popular choices, Whitney of Dartmouth
and Legore of Yale.
The following all-western eleven Is
made up from selections of coaches and
critics:
Right end, Cherry, Ohio State; right
tackle. Halligan, Nebraska; right guard,
Routh, Purdue; center, Des Jardien.
Chicago; left guard. Chapman, Illinois;
left tackle, Buck, Wisconsin; left end.
Graves, Illinois; quarterback, Clark,
Illinois; right halfback, Maulbetsch,
Michigan; left halfback, Pogue. Illinois;
fullback, Scion, Minnesota.
Maulbetsch of Michigan as halfback
is about tn comfy star who received al
most unanimous vote. The Wolverine
halfback's great showing in the Har-
ward game spread his fame so wide that
practically all critics of the central
states picked him on their ideal elev-

war becomes more insistent. Military
authorities are Disguised with the
drunkenness of the soldiers, brought
about by the disposition of civilians to

Lord Kitchener has issued numerous
protests against the treating of SOL

The increase of drunkenness. among
women. especially those whose hus-

In battling the wave of alcoholism
among women. Prohibition of the sale
of liquor before noon was suggested
as a regulation that would lessen the

Mr.. McKenna said it would require a
new act from Parliament to enable
him to further curtail the hours of
liquor selling. He promised to submit
the suggestion to the House.
In his last days Lord Roberts made
public appeal against tempting SOL
d.ers with liquor.
Lord Kitchener recently made this
appeal to the new army.
