all the twenty-six passes against Yale.
OF these were successful.
and that IL a record very hard to beat.
Westphal OF the Navy n Clark OF

against Penn, did good work for such a
Light man. Weldon OF Lafayette was a
great aid to Bill Crowell's warriors. His
work In the games with Lehigh and
Penn deserve special note. Lou Seigle
OF Pennsylvania Military College would
be a sensation on a big college eleven.
McGuckin of Villanova played a won
derful game for Dutch Sommer's main
liners. McGuck!n kicked nine field
goals. which established "A seasons
record. Gurnsey n Scovil OF Yale
were too badly crippled all year to show
their true form. but the formers two
field goals against Princeton made foot
ball history. Gilroy. the sensational
half-back at Georgetown. was one OF tho
best men in football toys this year. Ma

near PECK. Glenn Warner says Peck Is
the greatest man he has ever turned out,
and ! guess you'n all agree with me
when I say that Old Pop knows some
thing about players. Peck has always
been good, but this year no was at his
best.
McEwen. The West Point centre and

good. and barring Peck. was the best

Goldstein Of Annapolis. Wesberher O.
