Brilliant Array of Men

1t isn't very likely that any one Is
going 10 select an all-American or

strength of back field stars who re-

For IL these were ordinary times
one could even now select a back field
to compare with the high average of
the past.
Note the list of eligibIes: Oliphant.
OF the Army; Berry. of Pennsylvania
Guyon and Struppcr. Of Georgia Tech
McLaren, of Pittsburgh; Harley, of
Ohio State; Weimann. of Michigan,
and the list is only started.
Even past seasons would have found
it surprisingly difficult to have Of
fered four finer back field men than
Oliphant Berry. Guyon and Harley. a
quartet that combines tremendous
power with battling speed.

might be proved that a lightweight

We put the query TO a few veterans,

who had seen the best.
They had two votes 20 turn in. The
first was for Ed Delehanty; the other

1t was the combined opinion of these
Judges that Delehanty and Crawford
could hit a baseball harder than any
other men up and down the roster-not
overlooking Anson, Lajoie, Wagner

CENTRAL wins TITLE
BY WESTERN VICTORY
Loosers Excel in Kicking Central
Gets Best of the Breaks.
By s. II. RAKER.

Central grabbed on the title In the
inter-High School series yesterday In
the Mt. Pleasant Stadium when IL de-
ffated the Western eleven without
having its goal line crossed after the
hardest fought game OF the series,
by % to o.
Central had luck, which played a
big part In its first touchdown. After
intercepting one of Westerns forward
passes on its 4O-yard line II began a
steady march toward the goal where
Long was pushed over for the first
touchdown. Long missed the goal
Western put up a stiff argument on
the defense and Central bad To fight
hard Tor every inch OF the ground
gained. Twice Ceatral was held for
downs under the shadow Of the goal
and Western took the ball and kickeu
out of danger. It was not until the
fourth period that Western was able
to gain much ground through the
Central line. In this period Wight
made good gains on of tackle plays
and carried the ball Is yards on three
successive plays. All of Westerns
forward passes were either grounded
or taken by Central and turned into
gains for the dark Blue and White
team.
Groves. who did the kicking for
punting seen in the series and his
kicks averaged 10 yards.
Centrars backs had hard work In
gaining ground through the West
ern forwards. Stansfield was the most
consistent gamer for the Mt. Pleas
ant eleven. Central was not able to
score in the second period, but made
several marches down the field. lack
ing the punch to put the ball across
for a touchdown.
Snapper" Belnap with his back
field combination was able to gain
about twice as much ground as West
ern and forced them to punt twice.
Western was forced to punt five times
and could not gain consistently
through the heavy forwards of Cen
trail
Capt. Long, of the Mt Pleasant
team. was a tower of strength both
on the offense and defense and made
several gains and 10 yards-for the
dark Blue. His line plunging was a
source of worry to the boys from
| across the creek for he proved a
hard man for them 10 stop. Wilson
| and Stansfield for Central played a
good defensive game.
Central was successful four times
out of eight in the aerial attack.
Twice Belnap shot the ball. once into
the hands of Gerry for a gain Of %
yards and on another occasion he
! pegged the pigskIn to Solomon who

BOOST IS COMING
TO FOSTER SANFORD

Coach Foster Sanford, of Rutgers,
who invented the multiple kick, only
to have it tossed out Of the gridiron
pastime by the rules committee, GER
tainly deserves some mention for
what he has accomplished this sea-
son with the New Brunswick eleven.
Rutgers showed to the best ad-
vantage when she bumped into the
strong Welt Virginia team and held
the Mountaineers to a tie score, Z
to Z. The,.West Virginians, 1t must
be remeu8red, gave Dartmouth a
tough battle. and broke the Nays
back early in the season by whipping
the Middies.
So Foster Sanford, with a. team
largely composed of new men and a
smaller field to draw from than a
good many other coaches in the East,
has turned out a regular football
team.
Sanford has always contended that
the success of a football team de-
pends MOI upon the ability of the
team as aUFhole to play the game and
attain proficiency in running OF in
tricate plays than the ability of a
few stars who may be on the eleven.
