Tully a Great End
Tully of Dartmouth was everything
| that a high-class modern end should
be. This, among other things, in
cludes expert facility in receiving the
forward pass. Tully certainly was
gifted in this. OF all the ends in the
! country, he was the leading touch
down scorer. He was fast down field,
a deadly tackler and heady and en-
during.
Edwards Is Powerful.
Edwards of Michigan was very
often hurt, but even so, he is entitled
to rank as one of the great tackles
| Of the past decade. He was not
| only unerring. strong and lancing on
| defense, while on offense he not only
gave protection to his forward passer
and provided interference on running
! attack. but himself was very valuable
in carrying the ball on tackle around
plays.
No Better Guard Than Hess.
Hess of Ohio State throughout the
season was very bulwark to a gritty.
ha oil oil ,r-li
practically all it's games with valuable
players crippled on the sidelines.
Hess was a rock on defense and on
| attack was one of the prime factors in
interference. He was fast, as a mod
ern guard should be. and with his
speed combined great power and a
/ thorough knowledge of foot ball.
Mcmillan a Supercenter.
Mcmillan Of Princeton was a super
fine center, perhaps the best the writer
has ever seen. Not only an inspiring
| leader, he was a deadly rover on de-
| tense, never misled and a sure tackler
| On both attack and defense he was all
| over the field, always a powerful
menace to the opposition. He was as
| deadly a foe to sweeps and forward
| passes as he was to line bucks. When
this has been said about a pivot man
| nolnlnS remains TO be SalG.
Carey a Colorful Guard.
Carey of California was the slash
! ing. interfering type of guard that
the modern guard must be If he is
| to scope all the possibilities of his
| position. General opinion on the Pa
| cif1c Coast is that he is the greatest
guard ever developed in that section.
| Certainly, it may be said from the
standpoint of personal observation
that his play was characterized in
high degree by finesse and power.
Weir Always Played Two.
| Weir of Nebraska was a tackle so
! formidable that in all games two men,
and in certain plays more than two
| men, were pitted against him. No
| tackle was ever called upon to meet
| greater odds than Weir faced week
after week, and in the fact that he
emerged >undaunted, head up and al
ways the genius and mainstay of the
| Cornhusker line may be found ade-
quate testimony as to his greatness
He is a natural tackle If there ever
was one, in temperament ideal, in
physique impressive, in speed and
power inspiring.
Oosterbaan an AlI.Time End.
| Oostebaan of Michigan was one of
the great ends that the game has pro-
duced. He had five lanes of action in
| receiving forward passes and in all
he was a perpetual terror to whatever
| opposition. Swift as a deer, strong as
a bull moose, keen in his diagnosis of
plays, the picture of this end in action
| abides among the vivid memories Of
a thrilling season.
| Grange, That's All.
! OF Grange of Illinois so much has
been said that the highest compliment
| that can be paid him is simply to men
ton his name and let it go at that.
Wilson Coasts Best Back.
| Wilson Of Washington is a 190-
pounder who combines the speed of q
sprinter with the sheer physical power
of heavyweight wrestler.
Gifted in all branches Of foot ball Of
fense, he backed up the line on de-
fense in manner that not only check
ed the onrushing players. but made
them willing to yield. Wilson by all
odds was the outstanding back on the
West Coast and ranks with the best
in whatever section.
Oberlander Had Everything.
Oberlander Of Dartmouth is one of
the pest packs tndt ever played loot
ball. If one comes right down to actual
accomplishments on the foot ball field
this player must be regarded as bet
ter all-round back than Grange.
His long-distance accuracy in throw.
ing the forward pass amounted to
sheer genius, but in carrying the ball
and on defense he rates with the best
FIournoy Deserves Place.
F1ournoy of Tulane, whom the writer
takes the liberty of placing at full.
back, was the leading scorer Of the
country. In all he made 12S points
for his eleven. He had the keenest
sort of an eye for openings in the line,
and he came into them like a bullet
In the open field he was as elusive as
a ghost-in brief, one of those inspir-
ing backs who bring spectators to
their feet every time they get the
ball. AS a punter F1ournoy was un.
equaled throughout the country. His
average for the season was so yards
a game. 1t Is doubtful If there ever
was a punter who overmatched this
New Orleans boy.
OF this player Herman J. Stegeman,
athletic director of the University of
Georgia and former Chicago player,
writes as follows:
