LITER CAMP GIVES AN ANALYSIS OF
 HIS ALL-AMERICAN TEAM SELECTIONS
Qualities of His Choice For Mythical Eleven Is Explained By Noted Gridiron Authority - Loud Praise for Neck and Lolrie of Princeton.

for such q big man.
 Center Berth.
 At center it was for a time a very close thing between Stein of Pitts burgh and Cunningham of Dart mouth. Stein has come through just a little more successfully than Cum nlngham. Not that this casts any reflection upon the latter. but it must be remembered that Dartmouth suffered at the hands of both Syra- cuse and Penn State. whereas Pitts burgh. in spite of some close calls, has come through, and Stein has really been the keystone of the line and has kept 1t together when things were dislntegrating. He passes par ticularly we'll and is thoroughly sat isfactory in all the requirements of this not exceedingly difficult job. A good deal of the passing now is di- rect passing, and that requires even greater regularity than passing through the quarterback. Stein is cx- ceptionally good at this from his long experience under the Glenn Warner systcm.
 Jouric Fine Choice.
 The quarterback position goes, after much consideration, to Lourie of Princeton, because. as a climax to the rest Of his work, hts generalship not only in former games but in his final contest for the season. that with Yale. was almost uncanny in its &C., curacy in disclosing every weak point of hls opponents. In all other points, McMillan and Boynton were quite on par with him. In fact, McMillan up- held In a high degree tho wonderful reputation he made last year. and both he and Boynton are exceptional assets to any team.
 Poor Gspp.
 Tn the backfieid. Gipp Of Notre Dame gets tho first place on account of hts versatility and power. able as ho is to punt. drop-kick. forward pass, run. tackle-in fact, do any thing that any backfcld man could ever be required to do. and do 1t in n well nigh superlative fashion. He drop-kicked on his freshman team sixty-two yards When a man who has been taken off with a badly in- jured shoulder can go in on a pinch and carry the ball over the goal line to kct his team an absolutely neces- sary touchdown. something of the mans power cEn we'll be understood. Way of Penn State gets the next place. not only for speed. elusiveness, and quick sizing up of opportunity. but also because he could always be relied upon when held on the side lines to 20 in at any time when things were menacing to his team and make the necessary galns against any opposition. A most elusive back far pore than any of the others. he still has plenty of power for straight line plunging and off-tackle plays. Stinch- comb of Ohio State. who completes the trio. Is the fastest man down under a forward pass on the grid Iron today. His speed. together with tho passing of Workman. pulled his team out Of hole in the Wisconsin game in the last minute of play. and he has repeated this on other occa- sions. Had Stinchcomb been an or- dinary man, although fairly fast, he would not have been able to get away with these plays, for. tho defense was prepared for them, saw them coming. and yet was deceived in both cases on account of this peculiar burst of speed which Stinchcomb is able to put on. Stlnchcomb is also a quarter back of note and backfield runner second to none. but it is just that as- set of speed which makes 1t necessary to have him. We reserve Schcerer of Princeton and Templeton of Stan ford as ong-distance punters for emergencies.
 A Powerful Eleven.
 We thus put in that remarkable little generals hands, Lourie. all the weapons of an attack that we can possibly give him by the use of Way. Stinchcomb. and Gipp. We put in front of him a line of supreme power. q line on which we can count upon three markable men for getting down the field under. kick-Fdncher, Carney and Keck-men in Neck and Scott who are liable to hurry any punter. and very likely block a kick; men in Callahan and Neck who can alternate in rowing defense: n tackle in Scott who can not only smash the interference. but who is quick enough to seize the runner. and in Stein, a steady passer who feeds the ball we'll to his backs nt all times.
 "The stiffness of this line on de- fense-its speed to hurry forward passers, and its power to open holes and drive the opposit on back in of- fense-is exceptionally high class, and opposing tackles who were men, aced by Fincher and Carney at the time they were trying to get through at the runner would find their hands full As matter of fact. with this Iino thcre would be very little tack ling letf for the secondary defense. and in that way it would be kept fresh at all times. With Louric and Gipp throwing forward passes, Stinchcomb md Way receiving them, a defense of faN opponents would be well put to lt to offer tight resistance, and with this line opening holes and driving hc opposing line back for these lacks. the secondary defense of the hoy fn [
