Good Backs Plentiful
The season OF 1920 will be noted pri-
msrlly Tor the number of fine backs. as
stated above. Every eleven had one or
more, and yet many of these we're un-
fortunate III playing behind poor lines
and had. therefore. little chance 70

guards, but tackles and ends we're very
Scarce.
When it comes to naming these BY
pairs you will nave to give Boston
College the credit for having the best
OF the lot in Urban and Comerford.

But when you have named these

also good as Z pair.
However, 10 get down 10 our task OF
naming The individuals. After we had
made out the list and had glanced it
over We were surprised to find we had
picked three Princeton players. How
