TruXton Hare Of Pennsylva MIA
makes good running mate for Hef'
felfnger. In the days Of the guards
back he never failed to gain with the
ball. In those, days the Penn guards
protected the tanks. Hare was a won
derful open field tackler and would
have shone in the present game.
For center l am selecting Adam
Walsh Of Not1A Dame. 1924. who
played magnifcently. He was all that
any center could be. and I consider
him best of all men in that position.
Mcmillan of Princeton was a great
center as was Schulz of Michigan, but
l prefer Walsh.
l never will forget Eckersall and
how he played against Michigan in
1905. He could run and kick and. had
the forward pass been used in those
days, l am sure he would have been
just as good passer rs he was a
kicker and runner. Eckie was great
man IN the open field and he would
be my choice at quarterback.
Keene Fitzpatrick and Hurry Up"
Yost claim that Heston was the great
est hall carrier they ever have seen.
I have great confidence in their judg-
ment. Yost can talk by the hour
about Heston and his all-around prov
ess. There~is no one better qualified
than they are to tell n good player. so
/ feel sure Heston was all they claim
for him.
Thorpe an Athletic Marvel.
Thorpe was one of the athletic mar
vels of the age. He could play any
game. but eXcelled in foot ball, and
surely deserves a place.
- | have seen Jake Slagle break up
championship games and run like a
man inspired. He could kick and pass
as we'll as he could run. lie is, in my
opinion, the greatest halfback the
game has produced
The strength of this backfield lies
in its all-around ability. Every man
could run with the ball and interfere
as well.
While l could write a book about
the great backs of foot ball. | cannot
refrain from mentioning Ted Coy Of
Yale. Eddie Mahan OF Harvard.
George Gipp of Notre Dame, Ernie
Nevers of Stanford. Chick Harley of
Ohio State, Oberla nder Of Dartmouth.
Maury rfimble of Princeton. Ducky

Bluck and keck Stars.

end Keck of Princeton. My selec-
tion of Bluck may he a surprise to
many, but ! know 1t will not be to
those who saw the Kansas Missouri
game at Kansas City in 1909. In that
game Bluck made gain after gain
through the Kansas line with the
entire team on his back. Missouri
was outWeighed at least 20 pounds
per man. Bluck was the only man
on the Missouri line the equal in
weight or size of the Kansans. On
defense not a first down was made
on his side of the field and when the
rival quarterback realized the impossi
hility Of gaining anywhere near him
he shot his plays at the other side OF
the line. Bluck left his own position
and slid around to back up the other
eide. | can see him now watching the
quarterback as he called his signals
and leaving his own position when he
was sure the play was going some
where else, AS it usually did 1t may
have been unorthodox. but it was
mighty effective. Toward the end of
the game the Kansas quarterback was
trying TO guess where Bluck would
not he.
keck and Rluck were OF the same
build. Both weighed over 200 pounds
and neither stood over feet 10 inches
in height. keck is the greatest inter
ferer | ever have seen. When Don
Lourie made his famous 50-yard run
again Yale in 1920 keck took out
three Yale men. He did the same
thing for Ralph Gilroy in 1927 against
Harvard. On offense he had charge
like a bull. Last Fall in practice it
would take half the Princeton line to
hold him. There are leEions Of good
tackles in addition To these two.
