Chicago, Nov. 29.-Good football
backs were plentiful, but good line
men scarce in the central states, ac-
cording to critics who assumed the
task of picking all western teams.
The name all western itself Is a mis-
homer, for only the limited territory
from Ohio to Nebraska, inclusive, is
covered in the search for talent. No
account IS taken of the mountain and

least one of them, Herman Abra ham,

able showing against the Michigan
Aggies, one of the best teams in the
district covered.
In the selections able, the fol-

All-Eastern Picks.
New York, Nov. 29.-The close OF
the eastern football season finds
wide variance of opinion among
close followers of intercollegiate play
regarding the final rating of the lead
ing elevens and the players to be Sc
lected for the mythical aIl-eastern
team.
Certain players such as Barrett, of
Cornell, and Mahan. of Harvard, are
unanimous choices, but in other pCsi
lions a half dozen candidates are put
forward, all having excellent claim
for consideration.
High class backfield material was
abundant, as we'll as heavy, powerful
men for the center of the line out
there was q scarcity of brilliant ends
and quarterback
For the backfield, Barrett, OF Cor
nell, is the logical quarterback, while
Mahan, Harvard, leads in the race for
fullback. There is not the same
unanimous opinion regarding the
two half backs
While all those who have prepared
all eastern teams have not been
heard from the consensus of opinion
to date shows the following players in
the lead:-
Ends. Soucy. Harvard, and Higgins,
Pennsylvania State.
Tackles, Gilman. Harvard. and
Abel, Colgate.
Guards, Spear, Dartmouth, and
White, Syracuse.
Center. Prert, Pittsburg.
Quarterback, Barrett, Cornell.
Halfbacks, Wilkinson, Syracuse,

Catholics Closed Season by Defeating
Rice Institute 80 to 2.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 29.-Notre
Dame wound up it's football season
Saturday by trampling the Rice insti-
tute team by the score of So to 2, in a
game in which the Catholics were
played almost to a standstill in the
first two periods. In the last hair
they bore down the lighter opposition
by the sheer weight y their battering
backs and forwards and the excellence
of their interference running.
For one period, the second, Rice
outplayed Notre Dame in all depart
ments and the only score of the quar-
ter was a safety scored against Notre
Dame when Clark tackled Cofall be-
hind his own goal line after he had
recovered a bad pass from center. A
95-yard run from the kickoff, at the
beginning of the thin period. in which
Cofall did not run through, but around
the entire Rice eleven, and a 45-yard
sprint by Bergman for another touch
down, were the features.
