On his basis and with these few
pnarks. the following two teams are
elected from the Eastern arena:
Flra Team-Ends, Parr and Taylor,
Ssvy. tackles. Guiian and Spellman,
R-o~n: guards, Cross and Cruikshank,
Yale; center, BOwser, Pittsburgh; quar-
,srbsek, smythe. Army; halfbaeks, kaw
and Ramsey, Cornell; fullbaek, Owen,
Harvard.
second Team-Ends. Gray and Stout
prineeton: tackles, Waldorf and Stare
Nn Syracuse; guards, Schwab and
rhlnrer. Lafayette; center, Bentz.
esnn state: quarterback. Mallon, Will
Jams; halfbaeks, Simendinger and
RIopel, Holy Cross: fullbaek, Wood,
Army.
PArr and Taylor arc preferred to Gray
and Stout because believe they made
more tackles and were more than
little better at receiving the forward
pass. They we're no better down the
Geld, and then again Gray and Stout
had no such detouring back as Smythe
20 cope with.
There were ends as good individually
AZ any Of these, but not two OF them
on the same team. MeRae, of Syracuse,
is one Of the East's best wing men,
md Mahaney, Of Holy Gross; Florence,
Of GEORGETOWN, and Kopf, Of W. and j.,
are highly spoken Of and have their
admirers. White, Of Army, is a good
one; also Eddy. Of Yale. and Huford,
1f Penn State. Berny and O'Connell, OF
lafayette, stood high as a pair.
Brown Boasts Best Tackles
Good. high-elass tackles are not in
f-souent There wasn't a better orc
IN the East this fall-none so good IN
act. as Treat, Of Princeton. but the
BEST two or best pair were Gulian ana
gpellman, Of Brown-this in the opin-
ion Of several coaches and other oD-
servers who are football wise. Iney
shaded a trihe Waldorf and Starooin
n the Syracuse Brown game, and Syra-
suses tackle play was nigh in quality.
Nobody put II over the Brown pair at
any time and FOR the whole season
their work graded the best.
Thurman. OF Pennsylvania; Neid-
niger, Of Dartmouth; Bolles, Of the
Navy: Goodman. Of West Point;
leonard, Of Colgate; Eastman, Of Hsr-
ufd; Mcmahon. Of Penn Stae; Han
isa. Of Cornell. and Raub. Of Rutgers,
urtributed to the quality Of the tackle
ply, all men capable enough 20 find
Place on any team.
A man had 20 be exceedingly gooo
70 find a place at guard among the
select, for II struck me that the quail
~ Of the playing there was higher
han At other positions except end. !
.hink i graded higher than the tackle
,plky and 70 win eminence among the
guards one had 20 be a smashing good
one. Such were Cross and Cruikshank,
" Yale.
The Yale pair we're well matched
and fully able individually 70 hold their
own In any company. They are big and
active, and you didn't see any other
guards divide up the offensive and
oeiensiye work so we'll. They out
fayed the other guards particularly In
~ steadiness Of their defence and
esosbly yielded less than any center
~, IN their circle Of competition.
