Mythical Team,
BRILL At FULLB4CK
BY PAUL PREP

TIIE time has arrived when precedent
- calls for two all-star teams to be
picked from the football players of the
lnteracademic League. AS was the
case with the Interscholastfc League Sc
lcctions, the boys placed on both clcvcns
we're picked only after consensus of
critics, coaches. schoolboys and players.
Penn Charter was the winner of the
1nteracademic League title. The team
undoubtedly was the best in the circuit,
and If any one wants to argue about
the 'bests" they are perfectly welcome
to dispute this.
The Yellow and Gold aggregation.
from Twelfth and Market streets, gets
five places on the first team and three
on the second. Captain Bobby Stat.
zell. end; Whitney Brill. fullback
Weilland, quarterback; Schanche. ccn-
first team. while Mccarthy. guard
Curran, end. and Strong. halfback, are
placed on the scrub eleven.
Bobby Statzell undoubtedly was the
best wingman in the circuit. He could
do anything asked of him. and time
and again he went into the backfield to
run with the ball. His teammate,
| Curran, also was good; but Ititten-
house, OF Episcopal. was just Il little
better. Therefore, Curran is placed on
the second team. with HenkelS. of Ger
mantown Academy, as a running mate.
ID. Beard and Lucas
At tackles, d. Beard. of German
town Academy. and Lucas. of st.
Lukc's, were the best. Both could
open holes. break through opponents,
tackle hard and had football brains.
Stevens. of Episcopal, and Carson, of
Haverford, also showed we'll in league
games, so they are placed on the second
team.
Tauane, of Penn Charter. and Nor.
ris, of Episcopal. were the best guards
In the circuit. They arc handed first
team positions, while Mccarthy. of
Penn Charter, and Bodc. of st. I.ukc's,
are picked for tho reserve eleven.
At center. Fred Schanchc. of Penn
Charter. was the clcvcrcSt pivot man
seen in the league for some years. He
was wonderful pasScr, could back up
the line with more than ordinary skill
and was Il crackerjack ut breaking
through and blocking plays Pryor. Of
Episcopal, nlso was star. With any
other boy, outside of Schanchc to COM
pete against. he would have won the
place. lie is selected /On the second
team.
Wielland at Quarter
For the quarterback position on the
first team, Wiclland. Penn Charters
diminutivc signal caller, is picked. He
could punt, was clever at throwing or
receiving forward passes, knew how to
direct team and was good at line
bucking. Kinder, of Episcopal, also
has several good qualities, so he is
placed on the second aggregation
For halfbacks, Kraft. of Episcopal.
and Odiorne, of Havcrford are placed
on the first team. while Benders, Of
IIavcrford and Fagen. of Germantown
Academy, are put on the scrubs. The
first named were hard running. clever
Youngsters and had football brains.
Whitney Brill, of Penn Charter. was
the unanimous choice for the fullback
position. He was the'high scorer in the
league. This alone is almost enough 10
earn for him the position, but his speed,
end running, line bucking and throw
ing of the forward pass assure him
of the position. Cooke, of Haverford.
is the second team selection.
