BY HAROLD Y. WILCOX.

II President James, Of the Uniyer-
sity of Illinois, fails to schedule mat
post-season game with Harvard, Yale
or any other eastern team that may
have been challenged by this time. a
neat hit of treasure might be raised
for the Belgian war victims by a game
between a pair OF eleyens composed
solely of captains OF 1914 college
teams. couple OF formidable teams
could be recruited from this autumn
leaders. either one OF which could
give a stiff argument to the season s.
best gridiron machines.
Tor one allcaptain eleven, O'Hearn'
OF Cornell, and Diamond. OF LIay-
cite. could care for the ends nicely,
and Talbot. of Yale, and Chapman, Oh
Illinois, would make dandy pair OF
tackles. Smith, OF Pittsburgh, anu
heller, of Wisconsin, would not look
bad at guards, and Des Jardien wouiu
be a star at center. In the oackneIo
we could place the incomparaole
Brickley at full. with Murray, OF
Georgetown, and Casey, or Philllps-
Exeter, as the halfbacks.
This boy Casey is the particular
star on the greatest prep schooi
team ever developed in this country,
according TO eastern critics, and ne Is
headed for Harvard as the successor
OF the brilliant Mahan. IL a prep
school player is considered out OF
place, Thomas, of Depauw, would
make a cracking good running mate
for Murray Add Pritchard, or west
Point, as quarterback, and we would
have an eleven that would gladden.
the heart OF almost any coach.
But not nearly all the captaincy ma
terial Is used up. There Is enough
left over from which TO select anoth-
er eleven no less formidable. For the
TANKS we still have 0veresch. of the
Navy, and Schossler, OF North Dako-
Ia. This German pair should give
the Irish fiankmen on the other squad
q terrific battle. For tackles there
are BALM, OF Princeton. and Jones.
of Notre Dame, both stars of the first
water. Rosenthal, OF Minnesota, anu
Moore. Of Bates, would look good as
the guards. Raynsford, Of Michigan,
would make a mighty good center. al

Just claims on that honor.
From the left-overs We can pick
backfield that Is probably even strong
er than Brickley's quartette. Julian,
of M. A. c., at full; Whitney, or
Dartmouth, and Murray, OF George
town, at the halves, and Hightower.
OF Northwestern, at quarter, would
perform splendidly back OF the line.
There may be better gridiron ma
chimes than this pair IN the country,
but you can count them on the fingers
OF one hand A single team picked
from these two, composed Of O'Hearn,
Overesch, Talbot, Chapman, Smith.
Rosenthal, Des Jardien, Hightower.
