les or hard scrimmage practice.
10 years. He is a great field goal
man. He is a hard man to down III
the open and in the severest game Of
his schedule ran 65 yards from scrin-
mage formation. Defensively he is ON
a par with any back in this section.
He is the only player in the South TO
receive the unanimous selection for d
position Of some 35 coaches"
or the second team it may be said
that there is not a player named as a,
member who Is not qualified to re-
place the man on the all-America who
occupies his position. Every man Is
in the first rank, and the margin be
tween them and the all-Americans is
slight, indeed.
Hubert a Bright Star.
Hubert of Alabama deserves spe-
clal mention as a quarterback, the
position he has played for the last two
years. Defensively, however, he plays
the fullback position. His work as a
director Of team play has been fault
less, and he has had a great influence
upon his teammates in pointing out
their offensive and defensive faults.
His presence upon the field really
amounts to that of an experienced
coach. He passes well. carries the
ball we'll on plunges and is a fine in
terferer
Erickson a Star Lineman.
Erickson Of Washington is p. giant
in build and in strength, and ranks
with Carey as the best lineman, the
West Coast developed this year.
Nevers Is Great Back.
So with Nevers of Stanford. Many
critics place him alongside, IL not
ahead, of Wilson and Tesreau He is
one of the great backs Of the country
without any question.
Woods Full of Good Backs.
The complication in any backfeld
selection is that no season has seen
SO many players entitled to first-class
ranking. Kelly of Montana is one OF
them. Had he played on q bigger
team he would probably be nation
ally known figure by this time. AT
any rate he must be rated high.
Molenda Of Michigan may certainly
be so rated, a great bull-like plunger.
fast and indomitable. Gilbert of the
same team flashed into the public
eye in later games. and if he keeps on
will rank with the best. Kutsch of
Iowa started brilliantly. but slumped
with his team. Fry of this team never
did slump, and finished the season as
he began, an AL performer. Inlay of
California is a corking back, and so is
Mack Brown OF Alabama.
Dignan and GilliEan of Princeton.

Fordham, are leading lights of a huge
backfield galaxy.
Friedman a Conner.
Friedman Of Michigan should bo
set apart from the backs for special
mention. He shoots forward passes
with the same accuracy that a base
ball infielder throws to first and in
another season if he continues to
throw as supremely we'll as he has
done in the past two and runs
as consistently we'll as he did IN the
game this year against Wisconsin
he will stand with the best, If he
does not head them. Keefer, of
Brown is another back who deserves
to be singled out for special mention.
He shone brilliantly on losing team
and that speaks volumes for his
ability.
Plenty of Coed Ends.
OF ends there were plenty. Dilweg
Of Marquette is a wonderful wingman
and on a higher and more success
full eleven this year might have won
the highest honors. Tuttle of Mime

Fordham, Sprague of the Army, Sup

Of Stanford; O'Rourke of st. Marys;
