Walter Camps Comment
Waiter Camps comment on the
qualifications OF his All America team
follows:
Every hrst class football team. a
winner, mas. just as does a man. GER
tain marked individuality OF iis own.
The great characteristics OF this All
American team, as u stands above
are.
1. Brains-By which I mean that
every man on Il has proved himself IN
contests this year not only able 10 play
his own position but 10 diagnose Situa-
tlons and 10 act under emergencies.
2. Power-The actual thrust Of this
team, line and backs, would be so
powerful as 10 steadily wear down any
defense that was presented 20 them
and by sheer force drive the opponents
into submission.
3. Spirit--A fiery. dashing, over
whelming confidence that makes every
thing 20. Each man Of the eleven has
this Kind Of spirit developed 10 the
highest degree and each man has
demonstrated Il on the field.
Now as TO the particular breadth OF
ability OF the team as thus put TO-
eether, we have these features; Prac-
tiehlly every man in the back field Is a
threat, not Of one kind OF attack, but or
three, while In the line We have ends
who can block tackles; tackles who can
get the Jump on their guards and then
clean up the secondary; guards who
can open holes, can take part IN
further interference, and q center ae-
curate and steady IN his passing, and
still instantly useful after his pass Is
IA unrrtnlIW udanN IN
taking a forward pass without eheek-
ing their stride. taking II In almost any
angle and instantly sensing the. po-
sition Of the opponents and dodging
or getting away. All four OF the back
ala men can throw the pass or 20
through and receive r., and they are
strong enough on their feet not 20 DC
bumped or unsteadied IN this part OF
the play.
A Great Defensive Eleven
Turning now to the defense, the ends
can cover any kicks and prevent their
run.baek. TIE backs are kiekers' ana
one Of them the best in the country
20 nlaee the punt. according 20 eondi-
tin5s Hence. defensively. this team
Ia sble 10 transfer the play for the
fuli distance of the kick and hold the
onnonents al the spot. No one IL likely
10 ret a run-baek on these men; and
hear In mind that this run-baek was
the deciding factor in the Harvard
Yale and Army-Navy games THIS year
az we'll AZ the Haryard-Y Yale game IN
1921. when II comes 70 the serimmage

gitin,s' While our ends have both been
