MILLER, OF PENNSY,
ALL-AMERICAN END

Capt Heinie Miller, Of the Penn
sylvania eleven, who played right
end for the Quakers this season.
stands out prominently as a candi-
date for one Of the All-American
jobs this year.
Miller has played a great game
OF football from the start of the
season, but his work in the game
against Michigan stamped him as
one of the best ends. in the coun-
try. and many critics throughout
the East who attended the game,
were highly impressed with Heinie
as All-American timber.
Miller played rings around his op-
ponent, Geotz, Michigan's left end
He boxed Geotz continually, got
down under punts like a flash and
broke up the interference of the
wolverines coming around his wing
before 1t was fairly started. 1t
is good to see an end play football
as Muller did in that game, for It
reminded everyone of the good old
timers who used to make catapults
out Of themselves regardless Of
the chances they took of breaking
their necks. Miller deserves real
consideration. and he will get it
