up from the entire country--the east,
west, south, Pacific coast and south
west being represented on the three
teams. The thirty three players were
drawn from twenty-six teams.
Heavy Ends and Tackles.
Camp points out in making his Sc
lection that 'as the modern develop
tremendous burden on the wing
men-tackleS and ends to meet
swinging Interference and all-Amer
lean team must have this defensive
asset. The men must have not only
speed, but weight and power" He
has followed this idea by selecting
two ends, Bomar of Vanderbilt and
Hazel of Rutgers, who weigh over
zoo pounds each. while his tackles.
Sundstrom of Cornell and Milstead OF
/ Yale, are also over the 200-pound
mark.
sAs to guards. Camp says: There
he been further development of
MODERN play. for in the guard posi-
tion today we are faced with the ne
cessity for great activity. This re-
quirement is fully met by Bedenk
(Penn State) and Hubbard (Harvard),
who, as a matter of fact: were the
the games that were played. Penn
state was much weakened when
Bedenk was out and came back to
high class upon his return. Hubbard

year; has never weakened or let cir
cumstances discourage him and has
played the game OF his career"
Blot Choice at Center.
Blot of Michigan. who. as Camp
points out. won his Vanderbilt game
with drop kick and by picking up
kick of kipke'S down the field
which had touched an opponent. won
for Michigan her Iowa game" is the
first choice for the center position.
Camp says of George Pfann. who
} is chosen for the quarterback on the
general as there is on the gridiron.
He is available as a runner of the
highest quality. He is one of the
Cleverest receivers of the forward
pass we have ever seen. When a
coach can find a general like Pfann.
to whom the mere fact of doing a
sterling work in other departments
of the game is incidental, he has the
ideal combination"
Grange of Illinois, Martineau of Min
nesota and Mallory of Yale are the
choices for the remaining backfield
positions. with Mallory named as
captain of the team. Camp says that
Grange lis not only a line smasher
of great power, but also sterling
open-field runner. He is Classed as the
most dangerous man in the middle
west. and probably the country over,
when all kinds Of running must be
those runners who always seem des-
tined to get loose at the psychological
moment"
Martineau is described as sturdy,
indefatigable. always going forward,
slippery as an eel and yet with great
uower to twist and turn, he tears
himself loose when apparently stop
ned and always proceeds in the di.
rection of the opponents goal line
Mallory is called the greatest de-
fensive back on the gridiron," and his
selection is made. Camp says. also be
cause of his ability to kick held goals
in the mud and with "a wet ball.
Camp continues: There is such
I,Ierb-rlass field to draw upon now
adays that it makes the selection OF
an All-Americau particularly dithcult.
because Que feels that there are not
,nn1Ioh places for AL the stars. But
tIfe hn-America team named is, 10
my mind. a particularly nowerful ag-
gregation to use under the most az
Tanced methods of today and under
anv and all conditions.
