Willie Heston and Walter EckersaU Bright
Stars of CAMPS AII-America Team in 1904
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

No. 5-Eckersall Appears.
THE fifteenth anniversary AL
America selected by Walter
Camp. In 1904, was notable
chiefly for the inclusion Of two
Midwestern stars whose brilliance has
preserved them as all-time figures tn
the foot ball hall Of fame-Willie
Heston of Michigan and Walter Ecker
sail Of Chicago.
The All-America business already
was undergoing repairs to keep pace
with the growth Of the gridiron game.
Camp was gazing well beyond the old
Big Three for his material.
Dartmouth, Columbia, West Point,
Chicago, Michigan, Cornell and Carlisle
had gained representation in Front line'
but 1904 marked the first year In which
so many as two players from beyond
the Alleghenies crashed" the flrst team.
Nowadays the majority come from the
wide open spaces.
Heston won q berth on the first team
in 1908, but he and Eckersan 90 cap
tured Camps fancy the following year
that the Yale man devoted most OF his
All-America analysis to descriptions OF
their ability.
..TIHIs man Eckersall, weighing Just
under $50 pounds, can punt %
yards, dropkick with disconcert-
ing accuracy and in more than one
game has actually decided the issue Dy

HE is q remarkable tackler; ana Is

for the next two years, however, and
clearly established himself as one OF the
greatest players Of all time.
"Heston gained more ground than
any other back on the gridiron," Camp
noted 1.-THE position Of captain mill

Heston went through the season at top
speed.
"He perfected the use Of the straight
arm, and once past the line OF scrim-

him except by getting behind his arm.
In the Chicago game he carried the ball
for 240 yards, total Of 80 times for an
average Of over six yards"

popular, many believing the little Eli

ST. JOHNS TO STAGE
GRIDIRON GAME HERE
Annapolis Eleven to Play Hamp-
den-Sidney Thursday on
Central Field.

Two highly respected and almost uni
versally used systems Of foot ball will
be on display here Thanksgiving day
when the Hampden-Sidney Tigers and
st. Johns clash in Central Stadium ct
2:30 o'clock. The Virginians employ
the Warner style Of play, while the lat
ter stick closely to the Notre Dame
brand.
These two systems of play have been
seen on many gridironS this Fall and
local renewal should increase interest in
this Tiger Johnny game, the first be-
tween the teams, for the two systems
have only one common factor-decen-
ton. The Warner style demands
heavily of power, raw, human man
power, whereas the Notre Dame style
depends for its success upon speed,
agility and perfect execution.
Both teams will come here loaded for
bear, as neither has played since a week
ago Saturday. Thursdays game may
be the forerunner to an annual scrap
between them.

HYATTSVILLE GUARDS
START FLOOR SEASON
Face Brentwood Hawks Tonight
at Suburban Armory-Girls'
Team Drilling.

HYATTSVILLE. Nd, November "a
Two former stalwartS OF the Company
F. National Guard, basket ball team of
HyattSville will be missing when the
militiamen face Brentwood Hawks to-
night on the armory floor in the first
court game Of the season here. They
are Rufus Vincent and Spencer Chase,
who are expected to make lively bids for
berths on the University of Maryland
freshmen five this season.
Vincent formerly attended Dewitt
Scnool and Chase went to Business
High School, Washington. Vincent also
plays foot ball and Chase base ball.
In Brentwood Hawks the Militiamen
Will be facing team which last season
won the championship of both the
Prince Georges and the Tri-County
Leagues. The game will be feature Of
an American Legion Thanksgiving rally.
Under the direction of Margaret
Wolf, member of the faculty, ,candi-
dates for the Hyattsville High School
girls basket ball team are practicing
theoretically. Prospects are for one Of
the best SextetS ever TO represent the
school. Games probably will be ar
ranged with the high school teams at
Silver Spring. Annapolis, Gainesville,
Oakton and other places.
1nterclass matches are planned later
and Coach Wolf Is hopeful of uncover
ing some likely material.
Many members OF the soccer team,
which lost to Maryland Park High, in
an upset, but otherwise showed credit
ably, will be lost. Maryland Park, which
won the county title, is now striving for
State honors. A host OF leading mem
berS of the field ball team which won
majority of its games, are schs duled
to graduate.
A comprehensive intramural sports
program for boys at Hyattsville High
School is planned by Stanleigh jenkins,
soccer and basket ball coach. Jenkins
started intramural work last year and
1t was quite successful. He hopes to
make 1t even more so this year. Inter-
section soccer already has been started
and interclass competition in this sport
may later be staged. Basket ball proba-
bly, also will be played and base ball
may be taken up. The winners will be
crowned school champions.
