with one or several star players on each
team, eight. are represented on THE
NEW YORK HEHALp's all scholastic first
and second football teams. Fordham
Prep is not considered because 1t played
only two schools of the. city and was
not seen sufficiently to be judged.

A terror on the offence, the eleven
would hold like a stone wall on the de-
fence. Phildius and Nony are fast and
sure tacklers. No interference would
be safe with these boys on the ends.

sure in tackling than the first string
players. and Yale, the foremost forward
tosser In the city, who lacks the speed
and polish Of the others.
The tackles presented a wealth OF ma
terial. but after due consideration
Waterman and kaplan are chosen. They
have but shade over Seyman and
Scudin. Waterman's brilliance lay in
the lease with which he could break
through on the defence and block kicks
and punts for resulting touchdowns
Kaplan Is less snowy, but consistent to
a remarkable degree. He has the edge
on Seymann when on the offence. both
ranking equally ON the defence. Scudin
is as good as any other boy.
Husky guards are needed, rand Joe
Tierney and Red Stanley get the selec-
ton. Brooklyn Prep was not scored
upon until its last game of the season
and in a large measure Tierney comes
in for the credit. Stanley is veteran
of last years Clinton team. His per.
formances lived up to expectation. Var
Pelt of Erasmus. Ryan of Stuyyesant
Hockhauser Of Commerce and Wiener OF
Commercial would make good on ans

Positions Easy to Choose.
The pivot position and the backfieit
are easier to choose. Sy Seidenbers
stands out above all the centres. That
group consists of Pollack of st. Johns
MINERS of Erasmus, Stephens Of Manue
and Adler of Stuyvesant. Seidenbere
played a rowing centre, was always q
danger to the execution oof any play
His passing was methodically perfect
never high, low or wide from its destina-
ton. AS an added feature the Clinton
man is an exceptionally good goal kicker
Rudolph Payor, hatfback, showed tbs
most natural football ability In the schol
astic. field. He is ths only player W,
have seen this fall who could get ava,
with a trick like rolling along the ground
with the ball after being tackled for al
extra yard or two before the refere,
blew his whistle. $50 lc1 "adF -.
Ted Waterbury Is quarterback, Man,
declared that he used his mates to ad
vance the ball and then scored the touch
down, but such was not the case. HI
has football brains he can kick. he cal
throw and he can plunge or run just ;
little better than his nearest rival 70
