the ball. lie Is one Of the greatest open
field runners IN the country and his all
around work throughout the season
stamps him as quarter OF shs calibre
who would be the enevy of any coach.
LOuTie had many rivals for the honor
BOynton OF Wilkins. great Individual
point scorer. and Mcmillan Of Centre. last
years all-American quarter back. were
close TO him Ia all-Rround efficiency.
Buell., Harvard's crack quarter; FitZgeT-
aid. also Of Harvard; Murrey. Lougie's
understudy; Bob Fletcher Of Illinois. and
Workman OF Ohio State, were among the
players who pressed the Princeton star
closely.
George Glpp. Notre Dame. and Charley
Way. Penn State. are awarded the half
back positions. The wonderful plnylnS
Of these two speedy, smashing backs can
be put poorly described Both are
ers or twin six power. Each is capable
Of tearing of long runs or ripping up
the line, rs the occasion demands In
tearing through a broken field or pick
ing hole In an opposing line these
sure footed half backs displayed uncInny
ability and at the passing game they
were constant menace to the enemy.

describing the work Of this pair than
( anything we can think OF.
GIPP HEADS
THEM ALL.
Gipp, who is also a great kicker, stood
out in bold relief in accounts OF nearly
every game played by the unbeaten
NOtre Dame eleven this year. In the In
dianapolis game. late IN the season. he
received an injury to his left shoulder
that kept him on the sidelines but he
displayed enough In the games In which
he appeared TO stamp him rs nm NIL
American star. The same may be said
Of Charley Way, who, with the exception
OF the scoreless tie game played between
Pitt and Penn State on Thanksgiving
day, was good for touchdown nearly
/ any time Penn State needed n score
/ The 1920 crop Of star half backs was
] naturally much larger than the quarter
/ back crop. Gipp and Way had many
keen competitors for the honor OF beIn Z
placed on the mythical first eleven. Just
few of these are Stinchcomb. Ohio
State Davies, Pittsburgh; Flowers
/ Georgia Tech. Owen and Churchill, Har-
ward; Walquist. Illinois; Whitnen' Cen
tire; Beck, West Virginia, and Hartley,
! Nebraska.
HORWEEN BEST
OF FULL BACKS.
The full back job is given to Capt
! Arnold Horween of Harvard
Here Is one of the most consistent
full backs Of many season. The Grim
son leader was a power In Harvard's
