Princeton Tackles Outstanding.

no team is better than its tackles.
An all-star tackle must be ada
mant on defense and be adept at OPEN
fensive plays are aimed at the tackles
and so they must be strong and rugged.
I think great deal of the success
of Princeton can be traced to a pair
of great tackles-Lane and Ceppi
believe they are the best pair of tackles
in the East. They have both been
strong defensively and Extensively and
have been the strength of a very fine
Princeton line. For that reason they
have been selected as the TACKLES on
the All-East team.
finest tackles in the country and 1
believe the equal of either of the men
named. Glazer Dartmouth; UzdaviniS,
Fordham. and Kilcullen, Yale, are Just
a step behind. Other tackles that stand
out are Dempsey. Bucknell Sadausky.
Western Maryland: Palombo. Pennsyl-
vania; Vavra, Syracuse, and Harvey,
Holy Cross.
In almost every system of offense to-
day the guards come out of the line to
run interference. In fact they may be
designated as the fifth and sixth backs
on the team. The ideal guard must be
extremely good at running interference,
at opening holes in the Inc, and he
must be able to cover not only his ter
ritory on defense, but be able to give
aid on wide plays around the end.
The best and most consistent guard
in the East has been Jablonsky of
Army. He is especially strong offen-
sively and is fine blocker in the open.
His defense has left nothing to be
desired and it is one of the reasons why
Army has been SO successful. The other
guard is BurZio of Carnegie. He is very
light and may be termed the watch
charm" type which has become popular.
Burzio is able to perform all the duties
a good guard should carry out and he
has been extremely strong on defense.
: I consider Onder of Pittsburgh on a
par with the two selected. Other guards
that have been much above the average
are James, BuCknell, GundlaCh, Har-
ward; Nichols, Yale; Michelet, Dart
mouth; Shaub, Cornell, and Rado
Duquesne.
Center Crop Unusually Fine.
"HE crop of centers has been un-
usually fine. Between Harbold,
Navy. and Peters, Colgate, there
is very little choice. Both are 1885,
Founders. rugged. fast, good passers
and extremely strong on defense. While
Harbold is on a par with Peters, for
my own style of game I prefer the
Colgate man over any center in the
East Peters has been the mainstay of
the Colgate line. He is an extremely
fine blocker and passer.
Practically in the same class with
these two men is Wilder of Columbia.
Engle of Pennsylvania, while not so
good as in 1882, is still an outstanding
center. Del Isola OF Fordham has been
very valuable to his team. Other fine
centerS are Frankie, Dartmouth; Hin
man, Princeton, and Bucknam, Army.
Under different systems of foot eall
the duties CT the quarterback vary
greatly. Some coaches use their quar-
terback as their main ball-carrier, while
others use him largely in the role OF
blocker. Montgomery of Columbia has
been a great ball-carrier and forward
passer and has been the spark-plug for
three years of fine Columbia teams.
Soleau at Colgate, 1 believe, is the
best field general in Eastern foot ball
His calling of plays in the last two years
has left little to be desired He has
i6een used more as blocker than as
D ball-carrier, although he runs well
with the ball. He has been very strong
on the defense. The difference between
these two is extremely slight, although
Montgomery gets the call.
johnson of Army has been very fine
G:::a-..c:--5sci; and his keen selection of
plays has done much to aid the Army
cause Other quarterbacks worthy of a
place en- the honor roll are Kellett,
Pennsylvania FreitaS, Boston College;
Stangle, Dartmouth; Di Nunzio. Syra-
cuse, and Allen. West Virginia.
Great Field of Halfbacks.
DUE to the fact that they do most
of the ball-carrying and usually
turn in the spectacular runs,
there is always great number OF fine
halfbacks in every section ! believe
Buckler of Army and Danowski OF
Fordham are the outstanding halfbacks
in the East. -,
Buckler has been the rlainstay Of his
team and its scoring ace. He not only
is q great running back. but also a fine
paSser. Danowski bore the laarden OF
