All America Football
ELepenS Named by Camp
After Lapse Of Year Noted Au-
thority Again Selects
College Stars.

After . lapse OF year walter Camp |
has revived his annual custom Of naming
the All America football tearnA His
intercollegiate selections. which arc to
DO followed by his All Service slevens.
are made in the current number OF Col
ksr's Weekly and show q profound study
Of the situation In . season that made
the SELECTION OF stars even moro onsrous
. task than usual.
Mr.. Camp reviews the intercollegiate
season In detail and then digs right into
the Job OF naming his stars. He has the
following to say:
AS to the All America team. there
was very fair field from which to
pick. and the teams selected would bear
favorable comparison with those Of any
year when war and influenza made less
inroads upon time. The reason for this
10 twofold: FIRST, Il really does not take
~ many hours . day to make a man At
to play football a. some Of the old task
masters believed and. second, We had q
Eoodly number Of natural football play
ers.
Now. to study the team In detail
shows this. There never was n more
! serviceable end, both In attack and de-
Tense, than Robson, the two hundred
pound giant at Rutgers The deadly
| tadklins Hopper OF Pennsylvania makes
| good mate for him. Tackle material
was plentiful. and no moro active. power
ful. and aggressive pair ever came on
| field than Hilty OF Pittsburx, and
Usher Of Syracuse. A. guards, Perry
of Annapolis ftted in we'll with Dobie's
| attack and defense. and Alexander Of
Syracuse was a whirlwind with weight
Day Best OF Centres.
| The run OF centres was not so good in
numbers, but Day of Georgia Tech was
| hrst-class both in handling the ball
| and in defensive work Quarter backs
or quality were numerous, but Murray
| or Princeton showed q better offensive
strategy than Robb or Hackley and that
generslship earned him the position
He Is natural general and. moro than
that. he Is an attacking general. As for
a back field, neither the first nor second
string need ask favor of tho backs Of
any previous season.
Davies OF Pittsburg is a star runner
In any combination. a good interferer,
and very clever with his hands Roberts
is hard hitter. and Steketee Of Michi-
gan Is tho man who did most to make
the standing Of the Ann Arbor team
what It is. Tho second string. Frisch
Of Fordham. McI.aren Of Pitteburg. and
Flowers OF Georgia Tech. would he more
brilliant than the first. II not quite as
steady.
"Defensively this first team Is remark
ably strong. with Robson and Alex
ander backing up the line as secondary
defence; taking turns Mt this, they
would be employed In line OF work to
which they are thoroughly accustomed
and In which they have had no peers
many years. Then Hilty and Usher ar,
the most active and powerful defensive
tacklcrs We have had since 1915. Day
and Perry are tight men for the middle
OF the line and Hopper is hard man
to fool or circle.
Tho backs arc adept at knocking down
or intercepting forward pass and
demons at tackling any man. breaking
clean. while speedy enough TO support
the ends on wide runs. on attack We
have weight and drive enough to pound
the centre. while with Robson driving
