vAYNE CHENOWETH has

vAYNE CIENOWETH has shown
AA/ for the past two seasons that
w he is a great little football
player, the greatest ever turned out
in Ell Paso. But there are two other
products Of FL Paso who also deserve
to be placed in the front rank as foot
ballers. They are Dan Keenan,, last
years captain and fullback of W es-
leyan university, and Asa Porter, who
attends the University Of Arizona. For
the past two years Dan Keenan, has
been the mainstay of the Wesleyan
team. This year he was not only the
mainstay Of the team, but he was
about half the team, both on the OIL
fence and defence. When a gam was
needed it was Keenan, who carried the
ball, and usually he carried 1t un-
aided. When one of the other backs
carried the bail it was Keenan, VINO
made the interference. And when the
rest of the team was unable to stop
a line plunge, an end run or trlch'
it was Dan who piled up the play.
Dan broke up twice as many Ior-
ward passes as any of the ends or
secondary defence during the season,
and he recovered three times as many
fumbles as any other man on the team
The few victories credited to Wesleyan
We're principally personal victories for
Capt keenan,, and the defeats when
the team suffered were not more ig-
nominous was due almost solely TO
Dams playing.
Porter Captains Arizona Varsity
Asa Porter has been chosen to cap
tain the University of Arizona team for
next season. The fact that he has
been elected captain shows what the
student body Of the university think
of him. As was previously explained
Asa was not chosen by the writer Tor
the all Southwestern team, for the rea-
son that he had never been seen IN
action here.
There are a number OF army officers
in Eel Paso VIII have seen all of the
teams and players in the southwest
in action These officers formerly
played football at West Point and at
least four are recognized authorities
on football Without exception they
say that the only man who was lett
off the team who could be said to posi-
lively deserve a place on it is Asa
Porter. The rest Of the picks, they
say, coincided with their picks. Po-
mona had beaten every team on the
coast up to the time it met Arizona.
1t was considered the strongest eX-
cepting the larger universities, west Of
the Mississippi Yet Arizona deteated
Pomona by q z to score. After the
game the Pomona players were asked
how they had been defeated Without
exception the players replied: That
halfback. Porter, beat US" When Ari-
iona defeated the New Mexico A. and
II. the Aggies put up the same cry:
PORTER beat US" Those who have seen
Asa in action say he is not solely a
star at tackling, at running with the
ball, at breaking up interference or at
any other one department or the game.
They say, without exception, that he IS
so good in eevry department that II
is impossible to say in which he IS
best.
Camp Finally Picks n sOutherner.
For the first time in the history OF
football a southerner has been chosen
on one Of Walter Camps all American
teams AS far as is known, II is the
first time q, in football history that a
southerner has been selected by any
one for an all --.nerlcan team The
first man to gain the coveted honor
is a Texan. Capt. Louis Jordan, of the
University Of Texas, has been selected
as guard on the secC ID team. On this
team are such stars as Des Jardien, Of
Chicago; A-erriilat, Of West Point; Pat
terson and Spiegel of W. and J.; ana
LeGore, Of Yale. Most followers OF 1901
ball in the east say that Wnlle the
first team selected by Camp is the
best possible defensive team, the sec
ond team is far superior on the o.
fence Jordan, who brought honor TO
Texas by being placed on the second
best team in the country over all south
ern football players Of all time went
TO Texas u. Ine rawe-t kind of a
greenhorn, and in four years developed
into the greatest football player ever
seen in the south.
Harvard May Not Play Yale.
There is not only a possibility, but
quite a probability, that Harvard and
Yale will not meet on the football
Eridiron I'm 1915. And there is a very
good reason therefor. Many OF the
Princeton alumni as wei as those az
rectly connected with the university
at the present time, have broken into
press condemniing Harvard methods
Whether this is due TO soreness over
Princeton's ignominOus defeat at the
