THE west has readSa convincing
lesson to the east this year, camp
saws in commenting on theJnvaslon
of the east.
In detailing his selections. Camp
says in part:
ssThere were many wonderful
ends developed in the country this
season, and this is all the more re-
markable because the present-day
end has the biggest job he has ever
had in the history of football. In
addition to all his former regular

back-ield man as well, since many
i teams intrust him with great deal
of the forward passing and con-
siderable amount of running with
4 the ball.
I'm making up the All-America
j this year, therefore. we take two
4 men of this especial character.
I Roberts has been the biggest fac
tor on the clever Centre team this
year. the man upon whom McMillin
= relied for all sorts of work, using
him both at end and in the back
i field. Against Harvard this year
z Roberts was a large factor in Cen
tres victory.
Muller OF California, who
reached his perfection of play late
last season, began in 1921 with
marvellous game against Ohio State
on New Years day, and following
it up later with especially brilliant
work in running, making, and re-
ceiving passes and aggressive de
Tense until mid-season, when an in
jury laid him up. After missing
three games, and when the score
was a tie in the Southern Cali
fornia contest, he went in and with
single long pass turned the
tables. He finished out the sea-
son, going in in the second period
Of the big game of the coast, in
which California defeated its main
rival, Stanford, AZ to Z. Muller is
the longest and most accurate
passer in the country today. He
is a wonderful receiver of the pass.
He weighs over 100 pounds, is a
deadly tackler, can box in a tackle
effectively. and can also run excep
tionally well with the ball.
In connection with the selection
of this pair of ends one must also
consider the work and standing OF
their teams. Centre went unde-
feated through the season and beat
Harvard. California, with very
nearly her present team, over
whelmingly defeated Ohio State
last New Years day when the lat
ter had a month before won the
middle west conference champion
ship, and has gone through this
year without a defeat, winning the
coast championship
The tackles are MCGUIRE Of Chi
cago and Stein of Washington and
Jefferson. Mcclure was a great fac
tor in the work of Chicago. He is
big, powerful man, with a ire
mendous charge and splendid abil-
ity to diagnose the opponents play.
Stein of Washington and jefferson
is rated as a tackle and has been in
that position in the lineup most of
the season. He has been the main
factor in Washington and Jeffer-
sons team both on attack and de-
tense, and has literally beaten any
thing that has appeared against
him throughout the season.
The guards are Schwab of La
fayette and Brown of Harvard.
Schwab is strong. active, brainy
player with a physique that equips
him fully for the job. He was the
star of the Lafayette line at all |
NfLiCS. pIONn VI I1dTNdTu gets the \
other position, not so much as a |
snowy player but because much of |
Harvard's efficiency came through |
his work
The center position is given to |
Wick of Michigan, as he is about the
only man who has throughout the
season added great power and ag-
gressfveness to steadiness and |
consistency OF work A center on
the All-America team must be alb
solutely reliable in feeding the
ball to his backs, and at the same
time high class defensive man,
and Wick combines these qualities.
THE quarterback position is
given to Aubrey Devine OF Iowa,
indeed a star among stars. He
can run, kick, forward pass, catch.
and in fact he is a threat In all ,
four ways to opponents. Besides
that, his play has been a model of
consistency throughout the sea- /,
son on a team which has gone un-
defeated. Devine has wonderful
qualities as a general /,
