Harley. the superback of the Middle

The selection of an all-American
team for 1917 presents a number of
obstacles not met with in ordinary
years.
With Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton playing only Informal" foot
ball and not to be considered in the
selections. with many other teams
depleted by the demands of war.
it might be imagined that an all
American selection would settle
down to a choice of players from
the few teams which retained to a
large measure their 1916 strength.
This, however. is not the case.
Stars who would have been stars
under any circumstances sprung up
in all parts of the country, many
of them with teams of only me-
diocre caliber. which made them
stand out the more brilliantly
against their more or less drab back
ground.
As the 1917 season draws to a
close four teams stand out as the
great football machines of the year
In the East Pittsburgh, undefeated
for its fourth consecutive season
assumes the leading role. although
closely pushed toward the end of
the season by Pennsylvania, which
after disastrous defeats at the hands
of Warmers team and Georgia Tech.
rose from the ruck and defeated
such formidable opponents as Dart
mouth and Michigan.
In the South Georgia Tech was
far and away the greatest team. and
by some critics was considered the
greatest scoring machine in the
country.
The Big Ten title was won rather
easily by Ohio State. Notre Dame
reserves great credit by virtue OF
its defeat of the army.
In the far West st. Mary's de-
feat of California placed the Oak
land school at the top of the heap.
After an early defeat at the hands
of West Virginia. Gil Dobie's navy
team developed into a wonderful
scoring machine, defeating all op-
ponents by huge scores.
Great backfield men were rather
common this year. A number of ex-
perienced backs were carried over
from the 1916 season and performed
brilliantly.
For the halfback positions Oil
phant, of the army, and Harley, of
Ohio State. are selected. Oliphant
is a clever open field runner, a ter
rife line. plunger and an uncanny

SECOND TEAM,

ward pass, Berry and Oliphant are
great pIungers. All are far above the
average at the kicking game. And
all are football strategists with two
or more years of experience.
The end positions are awarded to
Won Heimburg, of the Navy, and
Bolen. Of Ohio State.
Bolen is very fast, and is a won
der on getting down on forward passes
and under punts. He starts fast and
Is strong in blocking and interference
and is an accurate sure tackler.
Van Heimburg is very powerful and
IS usually able to take care OF both
the opposition tackle and end He
seldom permits himself to be boxed
and is fast getting down the field. The
Navy man is a crafty field general
and his ability to diagnose plays makes
him a constant menace to the opposi-
ton.
The tackle positions go to Cobb OF
Syracuse, and Hauser, of Minnesota.
Both are powerful men and have given
trouble to both tackles and guards
opposed to them. Hauser is especial
ly dangerous in opening the oppos-
ing line and in carrying the load of

blocked on his side Of the line.
Sizes, Of Pittsburg. and Culver. of
Michigan, are given the guard posi-
tions. The former was the most ag-
gressive guard of the year and both
men combined strength and plunging
power to assure the integrity of the
center of the line.

STATE is READY
FOR HOPKINS GAME

Baltimore, Md, Nov. sS.-Every-
thing is in readiness for the big
State championship battle to be
staged at Homewood field tomorrow
when the eleven from Johns-Hop-
kins University will battle their an
cient rivals. the Maryland State Col
lege eleven.
Coach Curley Byrd's College Park
team has slightly the edge on the
local medicOs. but the Hopkins
tribe have been going at top speed
recently and are confident of giving
the State crew a good battle.
Curley Byrd, declared today that
Fletcher. his star halfbaCk. will be
in the lineup against Johns Hop
kins. A report was sent out of
College Park that Fletcher had re-
ceived a commission and was or
dered to Fort Leavenworth.
Freddie Rakeman. one Of the
track athletes. and Appley. a guard.
have received commissions, and
some one made an error in the
names. Fletcher and Snyder have
been suffering with bruised shouI-
ders but now are in tip-top shape.
One position Is in doubt. Byrd is
undecided whether AitChison or
Wiseman will start at left end.

Rydzewski. a rowing center of great
ability. He is usually down the fields
on punts with his ends and has un-
canny ability in analyZing plays. His
passing Is always accurate and per-
fectly timed.
The second team Is scarcely less ef-
fective. Robeson. the shifty negro
of Rutgers, was one of the surprises
of the year, and Hagar was greatly
responsible for West Virginia's ex-
ceptional success.
Other great ends OF the year were
Carlson. of Pitt. Miller. of Penn.
Albright, OF Brown, CatteIlaneos. of
Colgate. Brelos. of Chicago, and Jo-
chin. of Tufts
Hubka. OF Nebraska, williams, Of
orefon. could readily take the places
of Cobb and Hauser. and they are
only a step ahead of Rundquist, of
Illinois, Andrews. OF Notre Dame,
Healy and Bevan, of Dartmouth.
Randall, Of West Virginia, and the
two Courtneys, Of Ohio State.
Dieter, of Penn. and Lane, of Cal
iforniS. are guards of exceptional
strength and aggressiveness. For
tune. of Michigan. Lassiter, Of Van
derbilt. Spears, of Tufts, and Bow
man. of Brown, were guards of great
ability.
Wray. Of Pennsylvania, was one of
the great centers of the year, but
he excelled Phillips, of Georgia Tech,
by the scantiest of margins. Shep-
ard. of Dartmouth. Layton, of Mon
tana. and Van Dyde. of Ohio, were
good centers.
The wonderful array Of good backs
in the country this year would give
the second team a back field which
could be exchanged with the first
team with little, If any, loss Of power
on attack or defense. At quarter.
Ingram. of the navy. ranks well
with any pivot man of 1917. Guyon
and McCreight at the halves would
be a menace to any team, and the
great McLaren, at full. has had few
equals in twenty years.
Other great quarter backs OF the
year were Boynton. of Williams.
Arnston. of Minnesota. Simpson, of
Wisconsin. Hill, of Georgia Tech,
Weston, Of Michigan, and Way. of
Penn.
Other great back field men Of the
season include Gilroy, of Georgetown,
Gipe and Brandy. of Notre Dame,
Sparks, of Michigan. McCarter and
Gougler, of Pitt. Silva, of st. Mary's,
Rowe. of California, Charpier, of IL
linois, and Rodgers, of West Virginia.
