FOOTBALL STARS TWINKLE
ON FIELDS FAR AND NEAR
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

With the football campaign rush
ing along to its final month, stars
are appearing on the horizon, seek
ing places on the mythical all-Ameri-
can elevens.
Whether Walter Camp, dean Of
American football, will choose his
star teams this year will not be
known for a few weeks, but the
newspapers around the country are
certain to name their paper elevens,
as in the past, and they have many
good players to consider.
Though many Of the best players
Of 1916 are now playing football on
teams wearing the khaki, neverthe-
less there are enough good ones
left In college to uphold the .caliber
Of the game.
without making an attempt to
classify them, or to rank them, II IL
interesting to discuss some OF those
who are now playing football worthy
OF all-star eleYens. They are in all
sections OF the country North, South,
East, and West
Everett Strupper and Joe Guyon,
Georgia Techs two veterans in the
bSckneld, are quite the best backs In
the South Both are head and shoul-
ders above the rest in Dixieland.
Tech is making a great winning rec
ord this season, and Strupper and
won by the team.
MeQuaae 4 brilliant.
Johnny McQuads, who was shaded
last year by his partner. Johnny Gil
roy. Is coming TO the front in great
style this year for Georgetown. Nc
Quade seems faster than in 1915, and
his long runs for touchdowns are be-
coming more and more frequent as
the season advances.
Gilroy is not holding back, either,
but is maintaining the same class he
showed last season. Dudack and
Whelan are two more Georgetown
players shining on the gridiron.
Howard Berry Is apparently 90 per
cent OF the Pennsylvania eleven. The
remainder of the team does not ap-
pear to be composed OF especially
brilliant performers, though the
whole bunch did well against the
heavy. powerful Pittsburghers.
Fordham Is boasting OF little Frisch
and Bill Erwig. These two backs are
as fast as any in the East and have
done well in every game played by
the Maroons. Du Moe, last year with
Syracuse, is playing a most creditable
game at end for Fordham and Is in
the running for top honors.
