The fact that Mr.. Camp has
named only two Big Three" play
ers for the first team precludes any
argument that he has been affected
by his particular interest in these
teams, being a Yale man. Prince
ton, the championship team of the
East by consensus, has only one
man. Treat: Harvard. one. Hub
hard. and Yale. none.
SELECTED By OWNER.
1t is notable fact also that all
his first team choices have been
selected by other experts. but not
all of them named by these other
experts for the first eleven. Some
of Mr.. Camps first team choices
have been named for the second
team by other men. Others Sc
lected by Mr.. Camp were not named
by other experts at all. Picking
AL teams is a strange business.
We. in common with others we
are were SGtdllN
at a number of Mr.. Camps first
team choices. but particularly in
that he did not put George Owen,
of Harvard. in the first eleven
backfield. instead of on the second
Owen seems entitled to it if any
body is. He is a grand. all-around
player. without whom Harvard was
markedly weak. His great run
against Yale early in the game
running back of ~ kickoff, and
his subsequent crash to achieve d
touchdown are but instances of a
wonderful performances. were it not
for the fact he was run into bv one
of his team mates, with a clear
field ahead. the Harvard Princeton
might have been a tie. instead of
a 1O-to-3 verdict for the Tigers.
kipke. OF Michigan. as Mr.. Camp
notes. is player who requires
a bit more care in handling than
other backs" but is selected because
''he makes up for this in his ex-
ceptional speed and lodging quail
ties"
DECLARED EXCELLENT.
He Is also declared an excellent
kicker and the best placer of punts
in the country" and also par
ticuIarlv DANGEROUS intercepter of
forward passes and liable to net
a touchdown from any one of these. :"
Owen is a fine drop-kicker. a great
plunger. runner. intercepter of
passes and as quick to diagnose
plays as anyone.
John Thomas. placed at fullback
on the first team. might have drop
ped to the second team and Owens
moved up. Thomas scored three
touchdowns against Princeton, but
that was the only team he scored
against.
Furthermore. he was held on the
One-yard line by the Tigers, where
il he had gone over Chicago would
have won instead of losing. 81 to 49,
Walter Eskersal. a mid-Wsetern ex-
pert. put Thomas on his third team
Had Mr.. Camp selected Capt Jor-
dan. of Yale, for the first team
backfield instead of Thomas it would
strike us as better choice. Wood,
