NToNAD ON
YALE gets Three
ON ALL-EASTERN
Daniels Also Places Pfann and
Tryon on Stars

Daniels, sports expert on the New
York Herald, today names what he
considers the best All-Eastern eleven.
He says. In part:
Ellis in the Van.
"Our All East team shows Yale in
the fore, with three players. Cornell
lands two places and so does Penn
State. Harvard. Princeton. Brown
and Colgate get one each. Recapitu-
lating the selections made for the
three teams, We find the places al
lotted as follows: Yale 2, Cornell 2.
Army 4, Harvard 2. Syracuse 2, Dart
mouth 2, Colgate 2, Washington and
jefferson 2. Penn State ., and
Princeton. Brown, Maryland, Car
negie Tech, Columbia and Boston
College. each.
quite few of the stars in the
east shone so brilliantly that it was
utterly impossible to miss their out
standing qualities. We would say
that of all the backs George Pfann
of Cornell--triple threat, runner,
plunger. kicker and field general par
excelence-was the greatest. OF all
the linemen We would rate Bedenk
OF Penn State, the guard, as the
kingpin.
"Of all the punters, Wood of the
Army was the leader. with Chuck
Darling OF Boston College close up.
Among the drop kickers. Bill NAL
Tory OF Yale was supreme, while
among those who place kicked for

Wilson aud Tryon are our great
while Mallory is on the team
chiefly because he was tho greatest

sion he also proved that he could

"Pfann led the quarterbacks by a
clear margin with Richeson Of Yale
second and Robertson Of Carnegie

BATTLE BRIDGEPORT TO TIE;
KENNEDY AND WARNER SHINE
Neither Team Able to Score,
and New Britain Holds
Safely on One Yard Line.

Before a crowd of $500 wild eyed
fans, the All New Britain and All
Bridgeport football teams bsttled
through four torrid periods to
scoreless tie at Hanover Park. Meri-
den, yesterday. Although throughout
the entire game the play was iercely
fought. only two penalties for un-
necessary roughness were inflicted.
At the stare of the game the New
Britain rooters were given scare

ball IS New Britain's one yard line.
At this point the All New Britain line,
whose playing bordered on the sensa-
tional, stiffened and plunges by Forst.
Mulhaney and Bakos went for moth

downs. Bakos. while playing a very
Satisfactory game failed to shine as he
has done against other opponents.
Kennedy and Warner Shine
For the All New Britain team the
work of Kennedy, former Trinity cap
tain, was the outstanding feature, this
brilliant line plunger going through
the Bridgeport line for gains of ! and
yards drought the second half.
Warner, the mammoth New Britain
tackle, made life miserable for the
Bridgeport backfield and gave an ca
hibition of tackling that was above
reproach. The entire New Britain line
played wonderful football, the cele-
brated Bakos failing to make any OF
the long gains that have made him
famous with fans about the state. Ed
die Restelli, substitute center for the
All New Britain team. was sent in
when Rogers was injured in the first
period and. although playing against
the well known Pjura, put up an ex-
hibition that satisfied the most critical
of the local fans.

Barnikow gave New Britain a first
