COLLEGE CHOICE QUESTION

Three football stars have the dis
tinction of being on the All-State
team two years in succession. Alfred
Brooks, of Railway. who represented
the high school team of that place,
was on last year as an end. but gets
the position of halfback this season.
He played halfback for Blair, and
was probably the best In his class in
the prep" schools. Jack Whitehill,
of Rutherford, was a member of last
years mythical eleven, and Ray Hun
ter, of Lawrenceville, also found his
name on the list. These three boys
would be a. credit to any college
eleven.

MhItehin Highly Praised.

Central board officials who have
seen Whitehill, Of Rutherford, in ac-
ton says he will make one of the
greatest halfbacks in the college
ranks, providing he follows the game.
Whitehill has a powerful build and
he knows how to use it. He has not
decided as to what college he will go
to as yet, but 1t is believed that he
looks with favor on Brown and Penn
State.

Brooks, of Blair, probably scored
more touchdowns for his team than
anv other halfback in recent years at
Rlair. Newark schoolboys knew well
~ the ability of Brooks when he
nlaved at Railway High School. When
Il went TO Blair he was q much inn

Then, too. in the talks with survivors
who have reached London there In a
little note of complaint over the man
euvering of the ship after she was
struck ALL are agreed that the Lusi-
tania was swung as nearly towards
shore as was possible when she was
hit and went forward as long as the
engines lasted. To this fact liz as
cribed the ineffectiveness of the star

After the steamer had taken a heavy
list to starboard, she was still going
ahead and when the boats which were
lowered hit the water the lines were
fouled. the davits smashed, and the

according to the dispatches and the
tales told. some OF the boats were
wrecked free, others were torn loose
when the big ship went down, and they
were bottemsides up. half Allied with
