any opposing tackle breaking through
Robson, and ! should feel almost as
certain that Robson could break
through the opposing tackle when
PLAYS were aimed through his POSI-
ton. He would be the beau ideal OF
tackles.
Kendall at the other tackle is not
so unconsciously brilliant in the exc
cution Of his plays as Robson, but
he is steady, reliable, and possesses
such an abundance Of strength that
have no hesitation in selecting him.
Kendall is the college strong man at
Rutgers, and, like Wray, he possesses
that vitality Of movement which IN
physical contact is almost bone-break-
ing. He would be an indestruetible
tower on defence, and extensively ne
showed against Newport that he could
rip open holes when they were neces-
sary.
NV ends are shifty, know how 20

Dunoe Most Picturesque 1ackler
of Season and a Fine Pass Handler

that might be expected in naturally
Good nlever who has had eight years
OF experience in the collegiate 1ootoail
world.
Oliphant is built low to the ground
and IL tremendously strong of leg. IL
is this SQUAT build that makes him so
exceptional in wriggling loose from
and warding of tacklers. lie Is, m
addition, a good punter and held goal
artist. My quarterback would car on
him often, but not so often as the
Army's quarter does.
Howard Berry is almost the opposite
Of Oliphent. He is tall and graeeiui
and depends more on his ability 10
outfoot the field than the sheer
strength TO hammer his way through
IL He would be the most versatile
man in my baekfeld. for he throws
forward pass like a baseball. runs the
ends helter-skelter and drop-kicks neid
goals from any angle. a..
Running behind such men as oh-
rhant. Weston and Mciaren, the Penn
svlyanian would make for himself a
name that would glitter for years IN
the football annals Of the Red and
Blue. He would incidentally do the

I have seen this season and gets the
distance. / am aware that Berry is
considered giraffe, but believe the
men with whom he would be surrounded
would cure him Of that.
am incidentally certain that ]
should have a first class tsckler In my
secondary defence, for il was he who
spilled the majority Of the Pitt backs
who succeeded in hammering their way
through the Penn line.

Dumoe at the other end is TO my
notion the most picturesque tackler or
the season. He comes nearer to the
fine. old diving tackle than anything
have seen this season. Against the
sturdy Georgetown backs he was host
in himself and from what I have heard
Of him in other games IL IS evident ne
maintained the standard set against
the Hill Toppers.
Like Miller. Dumoe has the lankiness
about him that personally like TO see
in an end. 1t means longer arms and
consequently a longer reach, longer
legs and consequently q longer stride.
These are invaluable TO an end. Dumoe
has the baseball ability TO grab for
ward passes and picks them out OF the
air with sense of certainty.
A backfield composed Of Weston. Oil
plant, Berry and McLaren would in
corporate everything that could be
asked of any backheld. Weston in tbs
short time he played against Penn
showed the ability 10 run his team
without the halts that so depreciate
the work Of some quarterback. he Is
slippery afoot and steos fast. There is
self.conhdence in his very poise and
we should have liked to have seen him
finish against Michigan.
As Il was he appeared to Us TO be a
better man than Bell, and the Pennsyl-
vanian was the only other first class
quarter we saw this season. MELON
ough, OF Dartmouth, looked promising.
but his fumbles in important games
and mis- lack of judgment in not un-

football had failed moves him down tne

Westo throws and accepts the forward
pass with equal facility. runs his team
with that rapid-fre precision that rs
the hallmark of the born quarterback
and is my choice, with Bert BEL, OF
Penn. running a close second.
OF Elmer Oliphant every football fan

ports about instructions from the
ministry of foreign affairs to the Ger
man minister in Mexico City, in the
event that Germany, after the
proclamation of unrestricted submar-
inc warfare, failed to keep the United
States neutral. These reports are
based on the following facts:
after the decision had been taken
to begin unrestricted submarine war
fare on February /, we had to reckon.
in view OF the previous attitude OF
the American government, with the
possibility OF conflict with the United
States. That this calculation was
right was proved by the fact that the
American government severed diplo-
matte relations with Germany soon
after the proclamation of barred
zone and asked other neutrals to fol-
low its example.
Move Only Precautionary.
Anticipating these possibilities, it
was not only the right, but also the
duty, of our government to take pre-
cautions in time--in the event of
military conflict with the United
States--in order to balance, II posi-
Bile, the adhesion to our foes Of
new enemy. The German minister at
Mexico, therefore, was instructed in
the middle of January that in the
event OF the United States declaring
war he should offer to the Mexican
government an alliance and arrange
further details. These Instructions,
by the way, expressly directed the
ministers to make no advances to the
Mexican government unless he knew
for a certainty that America was 60.
ing to declare war.
"How the American government re-
ceived information Of the instructions
sent by secret way to Mexico is not
known. 1t appears, however. that the
treachery, and it appears there must
have been treachery, was committed
on American territory"
A Central news dispatch from Ans
terdam says the Berlin telegram in
regard to Secretary Zimmerman's in
structions to the German minister in
Mexico is semi-official.
