CAMP SELECTS
ALL-AMERICANS
AIdrich Of Yale, and Brown Of
Harvard Are Chosen

Eastern football players are more
numerous than those Of any other one
section in the 1921 All-American Sc
lections OF Walter Camp, but as
group the Fasteners are outnumber-
Cd by players from other sections.
Camps choices which appear in the
current issue Of Golfers Weekly, con-
sist of three elevens, or thrty-threc
players. Sixteen played with teams
of the Eastern group, ten came from
the Middle West four from~the South
and three from the Far West.
Camps first eleven consists of six
Eastern players and five from other
elevens inclusive from this section and
six from other parts of the football
map. AS has been his custom for
some years past the veteran critic
pays no attention to the right and left
wings of line and backfield, nor does
he draw any particular distinction be-
tween a halfback and fullback, or be-
tween either of these and a quarter
back. Thus he picks as a halfback a
player who has played the quarter
back position all year, while his full
back has been listed generally as a
halfback.
Several players who were included
among the selections of 1920 are again
named, but no player on last years
first team is to be found among the
first choice of 1921. Kecky Stein Of
Pittsburgh and Lourie were on the
first eleven last year and are on the
second or third .elevens this year. Nc
Mllin OF Center and Davies Of Pitts
burgh are on the second teams, as
they were last year, and each has a
high rating this year. The first team

 One day the auto bus which re- gently had replaced the stage Gu&ch stopped at the little hut at Adams place and a young lady stepped out. Her black hair was done up fin the latest style and her black eyes were dancing.
 A young man appeared in the door way of the hut and she spied him. His red hair reflected the sunlight and his rather full face was resplendent with smiles and freckles.

 But explain, explain" she insisted. "This is a magnificent home. This old house must be full of nuggets. Did you strike it rich while l was away?'
 He lifted her from his knee, on which she had been sitting, to chair, and went into the other room. When he returned there were two old maga- zines in his hand and a queer twinkle in his eyes.
