WALTER CAMP evidently pulled
a real "boner" in his selection
of an-American football eleven this
year and is coming in for consider
abl, criticism because he named
Halligan, of Nebraska, for tackle on
his third team. Reports from Kansas
City say that HaIligan, while he
played a great game in 1914, has
graduated and is now in business
and has not been with the Nebraska
squad this year. The papers are
citing this instance to show the fool
ishness of these an-American selec-
tons.
