Many Great Wingmen.

PRIMARILY it is Of interest to
point out that this has been an
other season of great end play,
it being doubtful if any previous Fall
has ever produced so large galaxy
Of wingmen accomplished in all ele-
ments of play in this position. 1t is
equally interesting to note a scarcity
Of star tackles. This has been a grow
ing condition in the great Autumn
game for several years past and is
undoubtedly due to the fact that the
system of siX-man line defense has
imposed pressure upon tackle so
tremendous as to render it almost i'm
possible for him to show his wares out
in the open where all may observe.
Otherwise the game has proceeded
in a normal way-unless a general
tendency throughout the country to
refrain from criticism of rules under
which the game is played be regarded
as abnormal.
AS to our all-America eleven for
1884, its merits undoubtedly will be
recognized by all who follow the game
nationally. The quality of greatness
attaches to every man. Taking the
team as a whole, do you think you
could assemble a paper eleven quail
fled to defeat it were 1t possible 10
put two hypothetical elevens on
gridiron in the flesh and have them
play a game? 1t has power, speed,
capacity for quick thinking, deftness,
versatility and enormous physique.
Personally we should tremble if any
Of the teams we coach were to meet
it in actual play.
Merits Carefully Considered.
r EFT us look at these blazing grid
iron luminaries and consider
their merits in detail:
Boedanski-This fine Colgate end
has been recognized generally as the
best of all intercollegiate wingmen
of the current season. His play ever
has been characterized by fire and
dash. The cleanest of ball handlers,
with a grand pair of hands; gifted
In every department Of play in his
position; swift as a deer, he material
ICES the dream of the most exacting
coach.
Larsen-This Minnesota flash is big
and fast and rugged; an end who
played so frequently in the enemy
backfield that he would have been
mistaken for member of the oppoS-
ing team had it not been for the
havoc he wrought. The fact that
he stood out on a team of great per-
formers stamps him indelibly as en-
titled to the honor accorded him.
Reynolds-He played tackle for
Stanford up to the very hilt. The
best kickoff man in foot ball today,
he is fast, resourcefM, fiery. When
you can fire up young man feet 4
and weighing 230 pounds, you have
something.
Lee-Here is another 200-pound
tackle; 220 pounds, if you want to be
exact. He possesses in eminent degree
a tackles first requisite-he is a
strong, fearless fighter. Besides, with
a tremendous leg drive, his ability to
keep his feet and smash was un-
eoualed. He was the soul of the Ala
barna line.
Bevan-He was the sparkplug OF
the Gopher team. Not big man, he
was always in the thick Of the fight,
ENJOYING it thoroughly. His intelli-
gent, effective play at guard, both on
attack and defense, in game after
game, make him, it seems to us, an
easy choice for an all-America berth.
Hartwig-Here is one of line of
grand guards developed by DR.. Suther-
land Of Pittsburgh. Especially strong
In leading interference, he did every
thing else demanded of a great guard,
and was unusually effective in break
ing Up plays aimed at his position.
Rooinson-First, he was the expert
passer demanded of the Notre Dame
system of play. He makes eight diff
ferent types Of passes, is a real magi-
