Payor, Erasmus Star, Proves
Best School Football PLAYER
S Clinton Men Chosen ON
All-Scholastic Elevens;
Commerce Places Four

Several causes combined to make the
1921 scholastic football season one
lacking in the number of spectacular
star players of former years, thus MAX
ing the selection of representative
all-scholastic eleven much more difficult
than ever before. The dearth Of out
standing stars can be attributed to the
systems of team play which character
lied the work of practically every
schoolboy eleven in the city.
No eleven centered its attack about
a single individual, and in many cases
the star was more readily discovered
by his defensive work than through
any offensive strength.
If any single player is to be named
the star of the year. this honor must
be awarded Rudolph ("Bubbles") Payor,
the sensational halfback of the Eras-
mus Hall eleven, of Brooklyn. This is
hall fields, as he entered Erasmus this
fall, coming from Pittsburgh.
Payers work was the outstanding
feature of the year. He was the
greatest open field runner in the city
and he combined with this the ability
to throw and handle forward passes,
hit the line and also punt. The
Erasmian was undoubtedly the greatest
back of the year and most feared by
all opponents.
Erasmian Is Natural Player
Payor is a natural player possessing
an uncanny knack in picking holes in
the opponents line or in sensing the
plays of the other team. He is easily
the first choice for all-scholastic honors
in the backheld.
Next to Payor, Jimmy Shea, the
husky fullback Of the Fordham Prep
eleven, is most deserving of mention.
Shea excelled in both plunging and
circling the ends and was the most
consistent ground gamer on his team.
The remaining members Of the two
honor teams are stars of less bril-
lance than Payor and Shea and repre-
sent eight different elevens. De Witt
Clinton leads with five representatives
on the two all-scholastic teams. Com
merce has four and Poly Prep and
Stuyvesant have three each, Brooklyn
Prep and Manual Training have two
apiece, and the remaining are awarded
one each to Erasmus Hall, Fordham
Prep and Morris.
Ted Waterbury, Of Clinton, is the
pressed for the honor by Bobby Parks,
Of Poly, and George Pease, of Manual.
Waterbury is given the preference be-
cause of his great work throughout
the entire season.
Payor is, of course; the best of the
halfbacks, and his running mate on the
first team is Sam Bolden, the colored
Commerce star. Frank ("Hub") Saun-
ders, of Brooklyn Prep, who was un-
doubtedly the best plunging back of
the year, is first choice for second
team halfback, with George Giershev-
sky, of Stuyvesant, as running mate.
Shea is the best fullback and Milton
Hamon, of Clinton, is given the posi-
tion on the second team over such stars
as AL Bell, of Poly Prep; Harrison, of
Brooklyn Prep, and Challenger, of
Manual.
Nony and Gluck Best Ends
There were quite few good ends,
but Joe Nony, of Manual Training, and
Nat Gluck, Of Commerce, are given the
choice for the first team. Jack Yale, of
Poly Prep, and Perlman, of Morris, are
the second selections.
Waterman, of Poly, stands out as the
best tackle Of the year, with Moe Lee
vine, of Commerce, on the other side
of the line. Seyman, of Clinton, and
Kaplan, Of Stuyvesant, are the second
eleven tackles.
Stanley, of Clinton, and Tierney, Of
Brooklyn Prep, were the best guards,
with Ryan, Of Stuyvesant, and Hook
hauser, of Commerce, the next selec-
tions.
Harold Seidenberg, of Clinton, leads
the centers. Stephens, of Manual. is
given second honors over MINERS, Of
Erasmus. and Pollock, of st. Johns
Prep, because of his good work in the
Erasmus and Poly Prem games
