All American Team.
The All-Amerlcan team this year in
Guides representative players from over
twenty different colleges
The line selected is a heavy one. 1t
has been demonstrated pretty closely
this year that when men Of this ply
sique can play football the power they
have, both in attack and defence. is
well-nigh overwhelming. We have the
most agile and clever center of the
year in Peck. OF Pittsburg, weighing
about Us pounds. but backed UP by two
guards SO powerful that Peck gets a
chance to display his agility and not
worry about any weight that may be
thrown against the center trio the
guards are Schlachter OF Syracuse and
Spears Of Dartmouth, tipping the scales
between them close TO 500 pounds, and
both extremely active as we'll
Schlachter, in the game where Syra-
cuse destroyed Colgate's hopes OF an
undefeated season by a Tremendous
score. was responsible largely for his
whole side of the line. At tackles we
have Abell captain of the Colgate
team. another heavy man and one of
the best hnemen that has played the
position in several years He was
practically the only man in the Colgate
line who could really stem the tide OF
the SYRACUSE avalanche. For the other
tackle we have Gilman Of Harvard,
powerful and thinking player one OF
the pair of men that made Harvards
attack so strong this year, and a man
not only good on the defensive but a
great opener of holes on offense.
Selecting the Ends.
On the ends we have B2ston of
Minnesota and shelton OF Cornell, the
former one OF the best all-2rOund men
that the west has ever had. good
receiver OF the forward pass fast in
getting down the field, and a good I
tackler- On the other end stands Shell :
ton OF Cornell one Of the men who
made MahaIf's life so miserable in the !
game against the Ithacans that Cor
throughout the season has played fine
football Shelton and BastOn would
make an ideal pair. wei balanced in
speed. but careful and painstaking-

just as did Harvard.
King, Barrett and Mahan are so /
strong and powerful that they could I

of the stars of the middle west in this I

a very strong team play for this team. /
