The pigskin meadows gradually are
becoming peopled with youths who are
| doing stunts that merit them consider
alton for jobs on the mythical All
American eIevens.
The achievements of Harry LeGore
of Yale, SO far have given him ranking
among the greatest halfbacking per-
sons on the profesh. There isn't any
thing that LeGOre cannot do--and do
exceptionally We'll
Andy Hastings, star Pittsburgh
| backtield, has shown with especial bril-
lance 50 far. He was ranked by some
as an All-American man in 1915. This
season he has played far beyond any
thing ever shown before Unless he
slips back during the games to come
possibility remote TO an extreme
! Hastings will take unto himself first
class job on the All-Star team.
Casey, the Harvard backtield find"
is ranked as "a second Mahan." But
how will Casey show when he is put
TO the Yale and Princeton tests. Hor-
Ween, another Crimsonite, is being
touted strongly up in Cambridge for
lbs fine work. Then there is Berry
the great Pennsy halfback. who, al
| most unaided beat the powerful Penn
| State crew.
McCrelght of Washington and Jetfer-
son never a hashy player, has been ex-
hihiting in a way this year that stamps
him as one of the really great. Nc
| Larcn of Pittsburgh is another star
p'Ungiug halfback that reawakens
memories OF "Wee Willie" Heston. Oil
plant, picked Try many last season, is
| performing in the same dazzling man
ner for the Army this season. lib
bolt of Princeton also has earned plen-
| ty of applause.
Sprafka Of Minnesota stands out
I just now as one of the best halfbacks
| In the West. He has been RESPONSE
BILE in the main for the great scoring
| done 40 far by his team. Drisc0l of
| Northwestern is another whose work
has scintilated. Harley Of Ohio state
has starred in every game-4and in ev-
cry department Of the game.
Among the other halfbacks and full
| backs whose great work merits them
/ much thought are:
/ Mueller, Cornell; Maulbetsch. Mich
/ igan; Mac0mbe. Illinois; Watkins, Col

mouth; Thelscher, Dartmouth; In
gram, Navy; Nuss, W. & j., and Carl
son, Minnesota.
Turning to quarterbacks, one is con
fronted instantly with Long of Mime
sofa. II any pivot man. has per-
/ formed in a more remarkable way this
| year than Long, his name is unknown
/ just now. He is wizard-brainy, fast,
courageous a grand kicker, and au UNI
/ canny runner.
Star quarterbacks are rather scarce
I in the East Shiverick Of Cornell looks
like one Of the quarterbacks in the
/ East, with Anderson Of Colgate close
up. Purdy, Brown; Meehan, Syracuse;
| Morrow, Pittsburgh; Robinson and
| Murray Harvard Eddy, Princeton,
and Stobbs, w. & J. All are good men
but none has flashed his full power 50
far.
Bob Peck, captain Of Pittsburgh. was
| the All-American center selection by
Walter Camp and about 30 per cent Of
the other critics last year. The PAN
Their leaders work to date makes it
| look like reelection for him. Hansen
Of Minnesota sizes up as the best man
SO far uncovered in the West.
White and Schlachter. the 2J6 and
248-pound Syracuse guards, looked Ike
a peerless pair until that Pitt game.
But the way they were forced to give
| ground before the crashing attack Of
| the Panther backs has lowered their
stock. Dadum, Harvard; Petty, Hi
