PLAYERS OF 7
CLUBS PUT ON
EASTERN TEAM
eagle and Strong Get Cinch
Positions; Experts Disagree
Little
BY BRIAN BELL.

New York, Dec. i.-(AP)-Less
difference of opinion than has been
the case in other years was OK
pressed in the consensus Of two score
experts who assisted the Associated
Press in the selection Of the 1928
all-castcrn football team. Sports
writer's and coaches who picked the
all-stars in the east were agreed
largely on majority of the posi-
tons.
Only one selection failed to include
the elusive Christian kcener eagle,
the army halfback, and only two
could not see Kenneth Strong, the
fleet and powerful New York univcr-
sity star as a member of the back
field. Howard Harpster, Carnegie
Techs sure passer and field general
ran far ahead in the vote for quar-
tcrback, and Paul Scull, Pennsylvan-
las versatile captain, maintained
commanding lead for the fullback
position.
Chuck Howe, Princeton's great
captain, was never in danger of be-
ing crowded out for center for less
than half dozen experts over
looked him.
Ned Burke won a guard position
for the navy by a wide margin but
Bruce Dumont Of Colgate was hard
pressed by "Firpo" Greene of Yale
and Captain Carroll of Georgetown.
Two captains, Al Lassman, of
New York university, and Bud
Sprague, of the army, ran well ahead
Of their rivals for tackle positions
with Mooney, of Georgetown, a clev-
err kicker, good third.
Rosenzweig, Carnegie Tech end,
was well in front for his place, with
Ed Messenger of army lacking the
Skibo's popularity but leading bar
rabee of N. Y. IT,. and Stinson. of
Princeton, who qualified for the Sec
ond team.
