Under the circumstances, then. what
excuse can be offered for picking an
All-Ameriea, or, rather, an Ali-Eastern
team for the season just closed! we
are not going TO do so In the accepted
sense. but to satisfy concert, lnno-
cent enough, and TO afford such amuse-
ment as will come TO those who love 10
nick flaws and call names il is the pur-
pose to establish an honor roll based
on what has been seen and what mas

How Teams Are Picked.
On one team will be such players as

PLAYERS who we're conspicuous and
stood out rs the greatest value to their
respective teams in times OF stress ana
in the more important games.
On the other team will be players
not seen, but of whom high words OF
praise and commentator were heard
from coaches and critics whose judg-
ment on things football carry respect
II is not possible in a season all TOO
short TO see all the teams in action.
The Saturdays are TOO few. the terri
tory too wide, the schedules too con-
nicting. For example. il was not my
privilege to see at least two OF the high
ranking elevens do battle on the grid
iron-Syracuse and Pittsburgh-wh While
others, which of necessity were missed,
included Columbia. Lafayette, Lehigh'
Penn State. Washington and Jefferson,
Tufts and Washington and Lee.

which SURPRISED me most was the pes
sirnism of the various coaches as 20
players Of All-America calibre on their
teams. No opportunity was lost TO asi;

got worthy of consideration for an all
star team? :" The answer rarely IN

Frank Hinkey and Tom Shevlin agreed
that "Cupid" Black was about the only
player OF All-America calibre on the
Yale team. although two or three
others were mentioned as possibilities.
Again, at Dartmouth, Frank Cavs-
nPugh. while speaking highly Of three
or four of his players, mentioned only
Spear as a real star.
Other examples could be given. and
il is only fair 10 say that the opinions
of many coaches as 10 the qualifications
