After a while Ames thought he

1t Is well that the learned Ames
kendrick had a real game to write
for his initial effort. He will now
proceed to put snatches Of It, very
views, for he surely loves to waste
many happy moments in the sports
department and then drag us into
his screed. Telling on him in this
case is but getting hack at him.
Readers OF the book reviews will
probably hear some football before
hong, for Ames is a football nut.
He now ranks with Father McDon-
ough as a denizen by right Of the
press box.
It Is also worthy Of notice to
speak OF the remarkably clean play
Of both Lafayette and Georgetown
in that last great tussle for gridiron
glory. One or two lads were 90
banged UP that they had to leave
the pastime, but their injuries came
in straight football. There was no
roughness mixed up with It.
Rudy Comstock, II must DO said,
gave Deible, Lafayette's star tackle,
80 much opposition that the latter
had to be taken from the game in
the second half. Comstock played
It sfl the way through and was
as strong at the end AZ at the
beginning. 81.
lube Sullivan played brilliantly
at right tackle. He was more than
q match for either Ford or Prender-
CAST. who opposed him. With Sui.
Ivan in the line. Lafayette's at.
tempts to gain in his vicinity were
generally frustrated.
Florence did nobly at left end
and was a remon down the field
under kicks. Once he tossed
Ernest. Lafayefte's quarterback, in
his tracks as the latter received a
punt from Flavin. Florence was
also q power in defensive play.
As q matter Of fact, Lafayette's
ends did not seem to compare with
the Hilltoppers.
While It 10 possible to pick out
this lad and that for especial praise,
such as Lowe for his all-around
brilliancy. Flavin and Malley for
their field goals, the entire line
for their defensive play. Florence,
Smell and King for their sturdy
work on the ends. wirts for his
wonderful gallop 70 a touchdown,
nevertheless, what Is most worthy
of praise was the fighting spirit
and team play Of the whole gang.
It was real Georgetown eleven
and II deserved to win. \

ways be out in the open. in plain

would be unable to carry on any

II would also prevent, DR..
Whelan asserts, the Objectionable
practice of instructing a substitute
as to the coach's IDEAS before the
sub is sent into action at n critical
period of the game.
Moreover, says DR.. Whelan, the
system would< enable coach to
watch his team more closely in
order to point out mistakes and
improve the play. when q coach's
explanations are entirely legal, be-
tween halves and in practice before

Anyway, it was a prelim and
Florrie was behind his man.
He had q bucket with ice water
in it, a sponge and a swell, juicy
orange that had set him back rs
cents.
At the bell the Santa Fe marvel
tore in like q hungry wolf. He
belted his opponent about and 1t
looked like a spread for Florrie.
In the second the marvel slowed
up a bit and began to peak over
at his corner.
In the third he was hit for the
first time. He got one flush on
the smeller. He didn't drop, but
he wanted to. A moment latsf he
got one right where the pancakes
settle. Then q right caught him
under the ear and he dove for the
floor. He looked dead to the world.
At the count Of four Florrie,
thinking his man out, looked for
the sponge. It was gone. He look
ed for the towel and that was
gone. Finally. grabbing an orange,
he tossed that in. It hit the Santa
Fe marvel on its way to the center
Of the ring, and he woke up i'm
mediately.
Sighting fodder for the first
time that day, he deliberately sat
up, and watching the referee as he
counted. ate the fruit.

opinion. 1t is not always SO, how.
ever.
1t may be noted as time goes on
that few players from the Navy,
Penn State. Lafayette, Pittsburgh,
and Washington and Jefferson will
appear on the teams named. Do not
be affrOnted. 1t is only a part Of the
system that calls for critics to fol-
low the obvious in selecting only
players on winning teams. APP
parently a man, however accom-
plished. cannot hope to play good
football for a loser.
In eXtenuation OF any branch
Of good eyesight we may have
seemed to commit In setting forth
our various choices, we will say
that nine Of them are the result
OF personal observation and two
Others pureSS% hearsay. We have
been informed by many experts,
however. that Guliam, Of Brown, Is
the best tackle and Hewitt, Of
Pittsburgh, the best line-cracker in
Eastern football. Therefore, they
are named as q concession to the
conventions.
Others might also be added. but
we have no intention of qualifying
as sight unseen" expert. There.
fore. 1t is with regret that not a
single member of the indicated
team from West Virginia is
mentioned.
The selection Of Gray. of Prince.
ton, at end; Cross, of Yale, at
GIL rd RI ianh ~ A
and Owen. of Harvard, and Kaw, Of
Cornell, in the backfield. was pre-.
ordained. They were the note
worthy stars in their positions of
the Eastern season.
Owen ran some fifty-seven yards
against Yale and perforce will he
like to feel that we would have
named him II the performance
covered only fifty-seven inches
to select a star for what ne does
on one play or in one game, pre-
ferably a big game.
For this reason the fact that
Snythe ran wild against the Navy
Is only incidental to the selection
Of him for the first team. While
Pam. Of Cornell, was a strong
runner he was by no means above
criticism. Smythe was more dar-
ing than Buell.. Of Harvard. and
just as crafty. In addition he
was . much more - dangerous
threat In running with the ball,
and altogether seems to have earn
ed the place.
The outstanding figures not al
ready mentioned include Carney.

SAY SEAMEN SHOULD
4 SHOW OWN RECORDS
Men Oppose System Urged
by OUners.

1.-THE wage committee of the American
Steamship Owners Association, meeting
Yesterday, decided that seamen should
be1requircd to carry continuous dis
charge book. providing information re-
gasding their past employment. reasons
fort discharge, and so forth. This sys-
teykf is used in the British merchant ma
riHb and by American ship owners on
the Pacific coast. Marine workers or
caanizations have opposed its adoption.
asserting that it lays them open to the
malice of shipmasters and marine super
in$endents.
yesterdays meeting of the committee
orss wages and working conditions was
thel last of the fiscal year, and the report
tofbe presented In the annual session or
the association next week was made
ready. Capt. Eugene O'Donnell. chair
man, said that the records showed that
65 per cent. of officers and men en-
ployed on privately owned and Shipping
!. Board vessels were American citizens. a
higher proportion than ever before.
H1he committee also decided to reduce
the subsistence allowance for men in
port from sixty cents n meal to fifty
cents. The allowance for officers will
not be changed.
