Colgate jumped to the front through her

Outsiders Now Considered
No longer ls the championship decided In
the le-Hnrvard.Princeton series. The
outsiders must be considered, ana unless
the closed corporation in New England
opcns up the annual games only Will be
family affairs It's just like forcing the
champions of the American League TO play
the leaders In the Western League Tor the
title because the National League champs

An of which is sufficient explanation for
the lack of big league stars on TINS
| AIl-Eastern selection. There are so many
minor college stars however, that 1t Is
| difficult to get all OF them in line. How
| ever. the first and second teams have been
| picked from personal observation. which
| in a perfectly good albl. You may ques-
| ton the selections Of post-season dope
ster. and he always will admit that you are
! wrong.
Heron and Moseley Ends
| For ends Heron, OF the University of
| Pittsburgh. and Moseley, of Yale, have done
! the best work of the year. Heron, in par
! tCuar, has been the star In every game ne
! has played lie Is fast. knows footbaIt
diagnoses the plays quickly, n sure tackler,
catches the forward pass well--in fact is
| finished player Walter Camp, who wit
| messed the Pitt-SyraCuse game, said AFTER
ward that Herron's play was the feature.
George Moseley, of Yale, also was bright
| shining light lie Cutplayed all of his OPP
ponents. both on the offense and defense !;
was n wonderful open-tield tackIer, caught
| forward passes like big league ball player
| and few yards were gained through him.
| lie used his head all of the time. as was
| shown in the Princeton game. when he
picked up the bali on the kickoff after
the Tigers allowed II to roll around
Miller Does Well
Helnie Miller. OF Penn. also did well, and
| deserves n place on the second eleven. His
aggressiyeness and all-round play made
| him IA valuable man 10 the team. Bob Hig-
| gins. OF Penn State, Camps selection two
| years ago, Is Millers running mate Other
good ends were COmerford, OF Yale; Harte,
| uf Harvard Hutchinson, of West Virginia
| University; Dussosot, of Dartmouth, and
| Harold Smith, of Swarthmore.
Lew Little, OF Pennsylvania, is the best
tackle of the year, He plays low and hard,
! always gets the charge on his opponent and
| has stopped most OF the plays directed at
| him. He was power in the Penn line, as
he tackled well and often broke through
| the line and hurried the opposing backs,
| West, OF Colgate one of the most versatile
| players In the game, gets the other posi-
ton. He, too, has Outplayed his opponents,
| especially against Yale and Brown. West
does the punting and is an excellent place
kicker.
Gates Looks Good
Gates. OF Yale. recovered a tumble in the
| Harvard game and placed the ball In posi-
ton for a touchdown, but that is not the
only thing that gets him place on the
second eleven, lie played consistently
| throughout the season, and next year should
be one OF tho stars Henry. OF Washington
and Jefferson Ia his running mate This
youth has surprised the eastern critics this
year and. like Gates, should improve quite
| a little next year. Endicott, of Swarth-
more Neil Mathews OF Penn; Gamer and
WHEELER, OF Harvard: BaldTidge OF Yale
Thornhill, of Pitt and Ward OF the Navy
deserve special mention Mathews was un-
fortunate in being Injured in several Of the
games.
II is an easy matter to select the guards.
| Cupid Black. OF Yale, and Charlie Hem
ming. OF Pennsylvania, stand out pTOmi,
nently Black played wonderfully against
Princeton and Harvard. not only in break
ing up plays, but leading his team as well
He was the most conspicuous figure In
these battles and recognized star.
Henning was taken down with appendi-
citis early in the season and did not get
back into the game until october rs, against
pitt he forgot all about the operation that
had been performed on him and went into
| the game on his nerve. He played a great
game and has kept Il up In the other con-
tests His work really Is the feature of the
year Seldel, OF Pitt NOurse, OF Princeton
Dadmun, OF Harvard White and Schlach'
ter. OF Syracuse; Barton, OF Colgate, and
Mehor. OF Michigan, also played we'll
Two Strong Centers
There is likely 10 be some dispute over
the center position, as both Peck, OF Pitts
hurgh. and McEwen, OF the Army, are two
OF the best players In the country Peck
however, deserves the place, to my way OF
thinking He plays wen on the offense and
defense, opens up holes IN the line for his
backs 20 slide through and Is sure tackler
In many OF the games Peck was Pitts only
