PEACE-WE SUE FOR PEACE
Editor Day Book:-Millions pray
for peace. It is President Wilson's

Ministers and priests seek the inter-

These same seekers of peace may

Peace does not mean prosperity.
Possibly we are all carried away
with the hope of restoring prosperity
and feel that peace will bring this re-

SAVED, HE SAYS, BYFOOT
OF GRAVEYARD RABBIT
Negro Murderer Had Been Coneicted
Five Times and Saw Gallows Erect
: ed Twice-Is Sent to Prison.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. g. Erwin Pope,
a negro. has entered upon a life term In
prison after fiye convictions Of murder
In the first degree.
The crime was committed In 1903. The
victim was J. B. McClurkln, a farmer Of
Calhoun County. On technical errors the
Supreme Court reversed four yerdicts,
but confirmed the fifth verdict Three
times the governor respited the man and
finally commuted his sentence to life
Imprisonment, giving as the chief ground
for this action that blood-stained shoes
found in Pope's house soon after the muir
der and used as States evidence against
him did not fit him.
Thirteen times a date was set for Pope's
execution and he watched the building
Of two Of the scaffolds from his prison
window. The case made a Statewide
reputation for two young lawyers for the
defense, one just out Of Yale.
Although Pope heard his death SEN
tence read eight times he never lost nerve
or hope, but would never be hanged, be-
clared he would never be hanged, be-
cause he always wore suspended from
his neck the left hind foot Of q rabbit
killed in a graveyard on q moonlight
night OF Friday. the 18th Of the month.
Frequently every day he fondled his rab-
bits foot with the boast: They'll never
hang me so long as I wear this conjure:
It will save me from the gallows no
matter how many trials they put over"
Even when Witnessing the erection Of
scaffolds for his execution he gaZed
smilingly and confidently on his rabbits
foot and declared: Nothing doing for
that structure"
On the way to the penitentiary Pope
kissed his rabbits foot tenderIy and
thanked It for saving him from the
scafHold.

Three Centres Stand .
Out Above the Res!

Three centres stood out above an
otherwise even lot, made up OF the
following:
Jourpeay, Pennsylvania; McEwen, Nes'
Point: CruiLshank, Washington ana 9et-
ferson: Nillmore, Dartmouth; tooi' nor-
nell: Mitchell. Brown. and Wallace har-
ward.
Anumber of good judges tell me that
Cruikshank was the best centre OF re
cent years, but unfortunately | did not
see him play, and was particularly I'M
pressed with che work OF Journey, OF
Pennsylvania. who gets first call, and
McEwen, of West Point. Journey, llEe
Eddie Trenkmann, had remarkable
range. He played loose and royed
about with amazing freedom, tackling
first on one end and then on the other
without ever leaving the centre OF the
line unguarded, because of wide-eyed
facility for diagnosing plays. he was
an inspiring leader, too, a sure passer
and altogether the type of man for any
all-star team.
McEwen, of West Point, was not far
behind him in all that goes to make up
a good centre. He, TO, covered lot
of ground, and was almost a stone wall
on the defence. 1t struck Lie that he
was the steadying influence in the
Army line, and worked in such close
harmony with his backs that the Of
fence was bound to run off with the
necessary smoothness.

This Team Powerful
and Well Equipped

ANYWAY. here is the team, and, in
my opinion, il is equipped with all the
weapons necessary for powerful OIL
fence and strong defence;
Fnds-Hardwick. Harvard. and merrill.
lat, West Point. Tackles-Tslbott. OF Yale,
and Toohey, Of Rutgers. Guards-Pen.
Princeton. CONFECTIONERY, of Pennsyl-
vania. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. OF Cornell.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., of Harvard. and Whit
ney. Of Dartmouth. Fullback-Le Gore,
OF Yale.
Harvard, which went through the
season without a defeat and wound up
with one of the strongest elevens ever
developed, gets three men on this all
star eleven. Yale. two, and Dartmouth,
Cornell. Princeton, Pennsylvania, West
Point and Rutgers, one each.
The wealth of material has made the
task more delicate than usual this year.
II seems wrong to leave such forwards
off the team as O'Hearn and Shelton,
of Cornell, Higgins, of Penn State;
Spears, of Dartmouth, Eells, of Will
iams. and such backs as Priehard. of
West Point; Cahall of Lehigh; Spie-
gel. of Washington and Jefferson, and
dozen others who could be mentioned.
Some Of these find a place on the sec
ond eleven, and, IN my opinion, the
honor is equally great.
The players considered as candidates
Tor this mythical eleven are grouped
according 70 their colleges, as follows:
Harvard - Mahan, hslfback; Hard
wick, end; Pennock, guard; Bradleo,

Cahall. Spiegel and Knowles on the
second eleven are quite the equal OF
the first string backs. The first named
was the surest and best drop kicker
of the year with Brickley out OF the
game. He led all others with ten to
his credit and had all the other quail,
fications also. Spiegel was second
Mahan in wide end runs and general
all-around efficiency, while Knowles as
a line bucker, ranked with the best.
Toolan, Of Williams, would have
found a place on one team or the other
if he had not been so completely smoth..

Brown, only put off earning the honor
for a year or two He is sure to md

Inns, of Cornell, deserves special men

before the Pennsylvania game, but he
came out of it with honors second TO
none. Garrett, of Rutgers, was hu-
man battering ram, while Talman, also
of Rutgers, and Curtis, of Dartmouth,
ranked among the five best punters of
the year. lie Gore, Mahan and Barrett
being the others.
Summing up, this All-Eastern eleven
is equipped with just about everything
needed. The forwards to a man are

cause of his amazing drop kicking abil-
ity is surely deserving of place on the
first team, was not considered for the

games and part Of another for Harvard
on account Of an operation for appendi-

The Purpose of All
All-EaStern Eleven

have never seen it denied that Wal
ter Camp. OF Yale, is the father of all
America teams. He has much to an
swer for. As a rule, mis- selections are
accepted as more or less official, but
for all that the field is wide open, and
il has been my task. even my pleasure.
to build an all-Eastern team for The
Tribune these several years. The pur-
pose. of course, is 10 pick out the play
ers who consistently we're most vaiu-
able to their respective teams, but at
the same time to pick out the type OF
PLAYER best qualified to face and meet
all the requirements of latter-day foot
ball
Some teams of the hundred and one
already picked have lacked a good
plunging halfback or strong offensive
forwards, or a reasonably sure drop
kicker. This is not said in criticism,
as no doubt the elevens were named
for the purpose single OF Identifying
the stars, without considering the
qualifications necessary for a hnlshed
whole.
As an example Of Just why this. ex-
planation is made il may be pointed out
that Spiegel, Of Washington and JeI-
ferson; Higgins. of Penn State; Cahall,
among others. stood out as few others
during the season, and yet none OF
these stars find place on The TrIb-
une's all-Eastern team, not beeau9e
they did not shine with equal bright.
ness. but because the requirements OF
an all-star team called for others IN
those particular positions.
With this preamble il is time to get
down TO the meat of the story. al
though first il must be emphasized that
this is an all-Eastern and not an all
America team and that il has been
impossible. even accepting every pos
sible opportunity in the short season,
for me to see all the men in action
who are considered worthy Of rank
ing. 1t is cause for regret that
Washington and Jefferson, Pittsburgh
and Syracuse were among those
missed. The reason for this regret lies
in the fact that all three boosted two
or more stars who deserved greater
recognition perhaps than | have been
able TO give.
