With the football boys laundering
down the home stretch, the nomi
nations for backfeld positions on
the mythical All-America eleven
are coming in from every section.
OF course, early November out
look is entirely different from what
it will be after Thanksgiving Day.
But enough scintillating perform
ances have been turned in by stars
OF every football sector to serve
warning that the choice of four
backfield performers who will find
practically unanimous agreement
from experts the country over will
be as hard this year as any other.
The outstanding backfield per-
former of the season SO far is
Christian Keener eagle. ace of the
playing one of the hardest schedules
ever planned, having met and de-
feated Southern Methodist, Yale
and Harvard during October. In
all games eagle starred. His bril-
liant performances have caused
critics to compare him with the
backfield greats of all time.
Other outstanding backs in the
east during October were Al Mars
ters of Dartmouth, Kenneth Strong
of New York University. Paul Scull
of Pennsylvania. Hal Baysinger of
Syracuse. Howard Harpster of Car
negic Tech. AL Wilmer of Prince
ton. Johnny Garvey of Yale-and
that is only part of the list.
The middle west seems to have
fewer All-American backfield candi-
dates this year than they have had
in recent years, although Bronko
Nagurski of Minnesota. Mayes Nc
Lain of Iowa, Blue Howell of Ne
braska, Pest Welch of Purdue,
Chuck Bennett of Indiana. Hum
bert of Illinois, Brazil of Detroit
and Gebert of Marquette are get
ting various nominations.
And from all sections come other
nominations for the All-America
backfield. The south offers Redman
Hume of Southern Methodist,
Stumpy Thomasson and Warner
Mizell at Georgia Tech, Jimmy Ar
misted at Vanderbilt and Jake
Hanna at Centenary among others.
The Rocky Mountain section says
Dutch Clark of Colorado College
rates with the best. And from the
Pacific coast you hear that it will
be shame not to consider Lloyd
Thomas and Don Williams of
Southern California, Riff Hoffman
and Chuck Carroll Of Washington.
And, We might add that amt all.

MIDDLETON Will
PLAY With TEAM
Declared Eligible for High
School Eleven in Today's Game

Hard work and study which have
! occupied every minute of his spare
time have enabled Al Middleton.
football player, to become eligible
in studies. He entered school from
Dean Academy on a transfer about
two or three weeks ago and he made
up a month and a half of work in
that time. He completed the work
late last night. He will be in the
backfield of the team in the Adams
game at Willow Brook park this
afternoon.
Credit should be given Middleton
because his work was in the schools
most difficult course, the college
preparatory course and his studies
| were English. Spanish, chemistry
and mathematics,
According to the pre-game dope
put forward by Coach George NJ.
Cassidy. Middleton is to replace
Alex Zaleski at right halfback. This
is probably the most radical change
the coach has made in several years
since Zaleski is regular Of two
years standing. but the coach is fol-
| lowing a decision made after the
| Stamford game that he will shift the
team freely until he gets combina-
ton that can beat Hartford.
The rest of the backfield will con-
sist of Billy Ross, quarterback: Cap
tain Landino, halfback; and Eddie
Sowka, fullback.
The addition of Middleton to the
backfield is not the only change
made there during the past week.
Billy Ross, substitute quarterback
since the beginning of the season,
has been shifted to the first team
and Captain Louis Landino has been
shifted to halfback in place Of Mike
Grip and Henry Krasxewski sho
have been alternating there since
| the Stamford game. The only men,
Der of the original backfield who
is holding his place, is Eddie Sowka.
the teams fullback and punter.
Coach Cassidy will use the same
| line that started the Coast Guard
game last week. 1t will consist of
| Frank Casale, center; Bill kuhs and
John DUNN. guards: John Szymap-
ski and Joe Ludinowicz. tackles; and
Joe Bogdanski and Gunnard Nelson,
| ends.
| The fans have been hearing 30
much about Middleton that they will
probably go down to the field ex-
pecting him to take the ball on the
first play and run through the entire
Adams team for touchdown. That's
possible but not probable. He will
be facing a very strong line which
has not been scored on in straight
| football! this year. He will be work.
| ing with a backlield that has not
been with him except in few
practice sessions. and he will be
weighed down with the knowledge
that the crowd is expecting him to
do wonders.These things will work
against him.
! Too much cannot be expected Of
| Billy Ross. He never played foot
| ball before this year and he is in a
/ mighty difficult position, that of
| quarterback and safety man. An
other fact is that he is very light,
tipping the scales at 1879 pounds.
The Adams squad did not leave
lis home until shortly after $50
O'Clock this morning and as it will
stop for lunch. it will not arrive in
his city until about o'clock. Since
the team will have 10 dress il is
! probable that the game will start
later than the scheduled c:3o O'Clock
| time
