 battle to win his place as the other guard. He was opposed by such stars as Ormiston and Hartwig of Pittsburgh, two of the best guards of many years. Either can step into an All-America group and more than hold his own. In addi- tion to this pair there were Mucha of Washington, a fine guard, Wet sel of s. M. U., Stillman of the Army and Monahan of Ohio State.
 Barclay was named for his all- around qualities. He was the cap- tain and main spark plug of strong North Carolina team. He called the signals and directed his teams strategy. He was alert enough to intercept more passes than any of his backs. He was a running guard of the Rosenberg type. On more than on occasion he was found in the center of the line to handle the passing job. Op- posing teams voted him as the best football player they had met.
 Lee, Alabama, Tackle-William Lee, Alabama's tackle, was the giant of a big squad. Standing feet 3, weighing 225 pounds. Lee had speed to match his bulk. Cap tain of a line team, he was one of the main reasons for A1abama's of- fensive and defensive strength. When my backs made a yard through this Alabama Hne," Harry Mehre of Georgia said, "I thought they were running wild. It was like fighting off the surf in storm" Bulky as Lee happens to be, he is one of those quick big men at their best when on the ag- gressive. His judgment in diagnos- ing plays was another feature of his all-season work.
 Reynolds, Stamford, Tackle Reynolds and Galloway, Stanford's two tackles, were largely responsi- ble for the stout line play of tho cardinal team all year. There was little to choose between this strong pair. Reynolds. like Lee of Alaba- ma, was another young giant. Standing feet 1-2, weighing 225 pounds, Reynolds was also active and alert in every game.
 This happened to be a season when tackle play Swas below former standards. In several sections col Hers Advisory Board members re fused to nominate a single All America candidate for the tackle a S g ment, something never known before.
 Hutson, Alabama, End-There is a different story to tell when you move into the argument over ends. This list included such stars as Hutson of Alabama, Larson of Min nesota, Moscrip of Stanford. Bog danski of Colgate, Kelley of Yale and several more who deserved consideration.
 Hutson of Alabama was named as one of the greatest ends the South ever saw-if not the great est-which is always a large order to fill. Coach Alexander of Georgia Tech says Hutson is the best end not barring Catfish Smith of Geor- gia and Dalrymple of Tulane. wao also had their good qualities.
 Larson, Minnesota, End-The battle for the other wing position came down to a hard. close contest between Frank Larson of ,Minne- sota and Monk Moscrip of Stan ford, two of the nations best. Lar son was named as All-America end year ago. Moscrip came along this season to give the Minnesota entry an even battle until the Stan ford star was hurt just before the final game. Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh rates Larson one of the best ends he has ever seen. ''He made plays against us I believed impossible Su her and said. Here is an example-somethin l had never seen before on foot ball field. On one play he hur- ried our forward passer and then swept back to make the tackle after the pass was completed. LaI- son is that type of end"
 Grayson. Stanford, Quarterback To-day there are practically no quarterbacks, halfbacks or full backs in the old sense. Under the Warner system the quarterback and the fullback are interchange able. Grayson of Stanford began calling signals in the mid-season campaign of 1893. After the Sou thern California game of that year Howard Jones pronounced Gray sons direction of plays among the best he had ever seen. Here is a big, fast back who can run an end, hit line, kick, pass. block and handle any assignment given him. He has been the star of one of the best teams of many years.
 His early injury in the California game came near leading to his teams defeat, but his play all fall has been so excellent no one could be found able to take his place.
 Wallace. Rice Institute, Half back-Picking out two halfbacks happened to be once more the most difficult of ali selections. In the list there were Wallace of Rice, Howell of Alabama, Borries of the Navy, Berwanger of Chicago. pur- wis of Purdue. Mickal of l.. s. U., Leemans of George Washington, Shepherd of Western Maryland. Williams Of California, McCauley of Rice. Wilson Of $. M. u.. Alfonso Of Minnesota, Nickslck Of Pitts burgh, cardweil Of Nebraska and eight or ten others.
 Berwanger of Chicago was the star all.nr0und hnlfback of the y0Rr, the most brilliant or ali the tot, until injured before the Ohio state game. puFvlH Of Purdue was another star who suffered the same hard luck. iiut Wallace Of Rico. q ibO-pound track star working co ono of footballs leading conierb, the Southwest, earned hls place,
