W. and ]. Appears to Have
Best Ends; Keck, Prince
ton, Shines as Tackle
By Raw Mccarthy

Yesterday we mentioned the fact
that tho profusion of backfeld stars
roaming the gridiron this year was
startling. But there is no abundance
Of other stars. Strong lines in fact ap-
pear to be scarcity this fall, although
this is generally the case, considering
the fact the back has more of an op-
portunty to shine. Great guards anz
tackles are just beginning to show
their heads and the games Of the next
month will bring out better just who
the good ones are playing the forward
positions.
Washington and jefferson appear to
have the best pair of ends in the bust
ness tO-day-that is as pair-in Car
roll and Loucks and Of these two, Car
roll, playing his third year, is much
the better. He and Captain Urban of
Boston College and Mickey Fallon. of
! Syracuse, loom up as about the best
ends Of the East. Before the season
ends some other, such as Legendre, of
Princeton. or Hopper Of Pennsylvania,
each star, may win the honor of be
| ing named the best.
Syracuse Strong at Wings
Fallon and Captain Robertson. of
Syracuse, as a pair. rank almost as
we'll as Carroll and Loucks. Their
great defensive play has been largely
responsible for keeping the Orange out
I in front. Comerford, Of Boston, Incl
: dentally makes an ideal running mate
for his captain, although Urban seems
to have the edge
Lehigh has couple of good ones in
J Larkin and Gulick. At least not many
| backs have turned their ends this sea-
-
including Beck. Of West Virginia, and
Eielson and Erickson. of w. and J.
Princeton, of the big three, has the call
in this respect, Davis, Legendre md
Raymond being superior TO either the
Yale or Harvard pair.
Even, Of the Navy, is a capable wing
and Brown, of Penn State, is very good.
Hopper, as we mentioned, is there,
and Kane, of Harvard, and Hummel, of
! Lafayette, are showing improvement III
every game.
The tackles that is. the luminaries-
are few and far between. Keck, OF
Princeton, and Gulick, of Syracuse,
rank with the best in the East, and
Dickens Of Yale is no slouch. Sedgwick,
Of Hardvard; Beck, of Penn State; Tom
Sullivan, of Georgetown, and King, OF
the Navy, are among the top-notchers.
but we shall have to wait until the final
The guards-theyre almost as scarce
as the Swiss Guards. There is Car
bjsch Of Washington and Jefferson, for
one, and Mclean, Of Pittsburgh. who
are fine stalwarts. Woods, of Harvard:
Dickinson, of Princeton. and Into, of
Yale, all show possibilities, while
Schwab, of Lafayette, IS very NIFTY
performer on the line. Galloway, the
negro forward of Columbia, has flashed
! forth on occasion.
Alexander Leads Centers.
Alexander of Syracuse, is leading the
centers at this date by comfortable
through in phenomenal manner between
now and December I he is sure to get
the call for the job, not only as all
Eastern, but as all-America. Tim Cal
lahan, of Yale. is always on the job,
and Heaphy, of Boston College, is doing
better work as pivot man this year than
/ he did last, when he shone IN this re-
spect. IIavcmeyer, of Harvard; Stem,
! Of Pittsburgh and Cunningham are all
very good.
Meantime nominations are still in
order. We don't claim to have
spotted all the good ones. The for
wards, in fact, won't begin to come
into their own until next month.
Speaking of stars there have not
been many who were able to carry
their team alone. Jim Thorpe was al
most a whole team in himself-so was
Eddie Mahan-and this year we see
Benny Boynton, "Bo" McMillin, and
Weinheimer of New York University
trying it and making a pretty fair
success Of it so far
Sometimes captain means something
as in the German Arry-ani then
again it doesn't mean so much, if
anything at all, especially when it
comes to leading football team
There fellow has to do more than
give commands. George, of the /
Army had to watch his mates go
through drill last year, and it appears
as though Keinninger, of Columbia,
will have to do the same this year.
And then there is the Cornell eleven,
which seems to be progressing very
nicely without any captain.
The latest tip in regard to schedule
making is that Fordham will have a
very attractive home list next fall, and
among the elevens which will be enter
tanned at the Bronx field will be SYRIA
