All Eastern Eleven

Macomber of Harvard makes 8
fine running mate for SniVely. On
offensive he knows how to box the
tackle, and is a wonder at getting
interference out of the way. He
is also a good man at recovering
the forward pass. Sturm of Yale
and McCoilum of Penn State are
two other good ends
Brown OF Harvard is just about
the best guard in the east. In the
Yale game he was at his peak. He
smeared most of the players direct
ed at him, and made many tackles
behind the line. Carney of Annap-
oils is also a mighty fine guard. His
work has featured practically every
game the Navy has played. Against
Princeton he scored the touch
down that beat the Tigers. Baker
OF Princeton is close up.
Stein at center has played his
usual fine game. In only the Ne
braska game has he failed to shine
He has been the strength of the
Pittsburgh line, and has done more
open field tackling than any man
on the team. Wilmer of Prince
ton and Shurtleff of Brown are
close rivals.
Killinger gets the quarterback
job. He is the one outstanding
star of the east, who can do every
thing well.
AIdrich Gets Position.
Aldrich of Yale by his fine work
all year, and his stellar perform
ances against Princeton and Har-
ward, is entitled to one of the half
back positions. l have my doubts
as to the other. 1 like Davies of
Pittsburgh. True he has not been
in the headlines as much this year.
however, not due to any weakness
on his part but rather his team.
He is such a great player that it
is almost impossible to pass him
up. Mallory of Yale, Lightner of
Penn State, Kaw of Cornell, Rob
ertson of Dartmouth and Gilroy of
Princeton r other good backs.
Owen of Harvard has played con-
sistently good football all year, and
l have placed him at fullback.

College
By BILLY EVANS.


| Picking an all-eastern football
football eleven is ordinarily a rath-
er easy task, as certain players us
ually stand out prominently.
This year it is different in the
east. There are a lot of mighty
| good football players ON the east
the premier at his position, KILN
ger of Penn State.
For the past Is years it was the
exception to have the critics differ
on lore than three positions. 1t
was almost a certainty from the
start of the season as TO the lead
ers in the other positions.
It Is going to be mighty differ
ent this year. A lot of the experts
in the east are going to differ wide
ly in their selections. This was
evident to me at the Yale-Prince-
ton game. 1 asked five of the lead
ing experts of the east as to the
best ends. Snively of Princeton
was the only player to get as many
as three votes in the five selec-
tions. 7
Last year Stanley Keck of Prince
ton was practically a unanimous
choice for tackle. He was regard
ed rs the best in the east, yes, in
the country, at that position. Keck
is as good il not a better tackle
this year, but injuries prevented
him from being at his best in the
Yale game. A number of critics
for that a may weaken on
keck, but to my way of thinking it
is impossible to overlook his great
ability.
In the west Mcclure is rated as a
great tackle. In the first two per
iods of the Chicago-Princeton game
MCGUIRE slightly outplayed Keck.
Coach Roper easily explained this
by saying that Princeton had ex-
pected Chicago to play an open
game, and that he had instructed
his line to play high and keep their
heads up. Instead, Chicago played
a running game off tackle and
round the ends. The Chicago for
wards charging low were making
trouble for the Princeton line, and
Mcclure was putting Keck out of
many a play.
MCGUIRE himsel, admits that
when Keck got down and started to
charge low, it was impossible to
make any advance against him. In
to of Yale draws the other tackle.
The ends in the east this year
are generally admitted to be below
the standard. In fact there are not
V y many good ends in the east.
Srively Of Princeton is a wonder
at throwing forward passes and is
a good defensGe player.

MAY CHANGE COACHES.

Failure of a number of the major
colleges to have a big year in foot
ball has caused rumors to float
about that changes will be made in
the coaching systems. Dartmouth
is already planning for something
better. 1t is intended to have a
head coach and two assistants. The
absolute failure of Minnesota
makes it seem that doc" Williams
is about through. Early ~reverses
at Michigan brought criticism for
Yost. Michigan, however, in the
last two games has showed a de-
cided improvement.
