 for center. He is an accurate and speedy passer and is right at home on defensive plays.
 Anderson is probably the best con- sistent field general the 1916 football season placed on the gridiron Ander- son halls from Colgate and he distin- guished himself in the Brown game on Thanksgiving. He knows when and where to drive his men and can han dle a punt handily.
 Brilliant Backfield.
 For half backs there is quite an ar ray of brilliant material but The Bull letin's choice for these positions are Pollard of Brown and Hartley of Ohio State. Pollard. although he did not get much of a chance to do much in the Colgate game owing to the field conditions he has proved his speed and end skirting ability throughout all other contests. It was through his team defeated Yale and Harvard Hartley of Ohio State has played the most sensational game of any one in the west. He is a speedy runner and combined with his defensive ability ranks him head and shoulders above fties Hartley is a good punter and drop kicker. Oliphant of the army, offen- siveIy and defensively, is a real star. He is a great line bucker and also can use his toe to advantage.
 Besides The Bulletins selections of backs there are other men who de- serve mention for the great work dur Ing the season and they are Casey of Harvard, Berry of Penn, Hastings of Pittsburgh and Legore of Yale.

Reported Chicago and St. Louis Plan.
 ming For Big Deal

IL has been learned that a deal be- eween the Cubs and St. Louis Cardin- als is in the making, which, if success fully carried through, will bring In- fielder Hornsby. Catcher Snyder, and a pitcher to Chicago. The hurler may be either Meadows or Watson. Inci- dentally it was learned that the North Siders had made overtures to the Pi- rates for the services of Max Carey, the f1eet-footed Pittsburger, who top pod the National League in base steal Ing.
 Just how far the St. Louis deal has progressed Is not known. This much Is fact, however. Hornsby is dissat- isfied with the Mound City, and has threatened to quit the national pas time if he Is not traded. He told this to several members of the Cub team last summer, and expressed the de- sire to land with Tinkers club. Horns by is a great ball player and is the best hitter on the Card team.
 If he alone is secured the North Siders can consider themselves lucky Catcher Snyder was a sensation dur Ing the early part of last season. He too, is reported to be dissatisfied Whether the Cubs will offer players or money Is not known.
