The Washington herald., 1914-12-13

A & NJ: Ward and Barker. of vir-
ginia, and Miles. OF Washington and Lee.
Jim Barron HOnOred.
In putting Barron. of Georgetown. at
right guard, j believe that l have Sc
lected the best guard OF the year. Bar
ron, on account of his experience, is a
hard man to outguess. He cannot be
fooled. In the A. & M-Georgetown
game Van Brocklin. the A. & N. quar-
ter back, several times tried to out
guess Barron, but on the other hand.
Barron upset all calculations and prov
ed to be the toughest customer OF the
year.
In picking Coleman, of Virginia, for
left guard / believe that he would
prove to be q wonderful running-mate
for Barron. Coleman is a fast man.
and proved himself TO be a great de-
fensive player in all of the big games
Virginia played this year.
Other good guards were ArtZ and
Young. of A. & NJ. Young gave every
man he played opposite this year a
tough battle.
For a man weighing 10 pounds he
can take a great deal OF punishmen Mt
In the Navy-A. & VI. game Young took
the worst beating l ever saw player
take In all my life. but he never once
complained. Artz weighs only 15S
pounds, but is the best little man I
ever saw in the line. In the Washing
ton and Lee-A. & NJ. game he was
breaking through tackling Young,
Washington and Lees star half back,
for a loss every time. Because of his
alertness he Is able to get the jump on
the other fellow.
PetritZ of AII-Ameriea CaIIber.
In picking a center / believe that in
John Petriz Georgetown has the best
pivot man playing the game this year. II
/ were to select an All-American man !
would name PetritZ above them all. He
has helped Georgetown more than any
man this year by his wonderful defensive
PLAYING. Petritz is a student OF the game
and this is evidenced by his statement.
made to me the other day when A. and
NJ had the ball on Georgetown's 10-yard
line. I sent in Tenney, my big full back
Although Tenney was crippled, thought
he would carry the ball over on two PLAYS
at least. Petriz stated to me that he
watched Tenney when he came into the
game and studied the situation so that he
knew exactly where Tenney was to break
through. The result was that he stopped
Teniey and saved the game for George
town. Tenney after the game related how
Petritz stopped him every time he carried
the ball. Tandy. Of North Carolina. is a
great player Like Petriz, he is all over
the field making plays. .
Another man whom think Is OF All
American caliber Is RED" Van Brockline.
A and NJ. star quarter back. at Andover.
Van Brockline played four years and
played three years on the same team as
Mahau, I believe that II this sturdy
little athlete went to any Of the big
schools he would be heard OF the same
as Mahan of Harvard. AS a defensive
player Van Brockline Is a wonder. Any
one who saw him play this year Will at
test that he Is a marvel.
After the Navy-A. and NJ. game. the
Logge, the Navy weekly paper wrote an
editorial on Van Brockiine's great play
ing In this article il was stated that
van Froekline was the best general that
has been seen on the. Navy field. Some
how or other Van knows just what to do
in a pinch. He holds his team intact ali
~ the time, and can keep the players
dehtinR all of the time. When would
rest Van Brockline, as did on few oc-
casions. II would seem that the team
would just go to pieces.
In Glass by Himself.
consider Van Brockline as a field
General in a class by himself Calnan Is
nv second choice. ForR small man he
deserves a great deal Of praise. because
Of his ability to keep the team on the
iumu during every minute OF the game.
