NEW YORK, Dec. Sat the
risk of being considered old fash
ioned, the writer today is pub
fishing the annual International
News Service All-American foot
ball team for 1884, only after the
close of the regular season, this
decision doubtless going to show
that I'm far too literal and per-
haps not quite bright.
It was all the result Of an hon
est misunderstanding. I Just
didn't realize that it is possible
to know who are the best play
ers in the country before they,
even have a chance to prove it in
climax games like the Army
Navy, Alabama-Vanderbilt, and
Louisiana-Tulane.
In any case, the team is offered
without apology or too lengthy
an explanation. AS a matter OF
fact, I think it is the strongest
and soundest presented so far
maybe for the fact that it wasn't
the soonest.
Two Good Men
Buckler, of the Army, was
never an All-American, so the
fact that he spent the last two
periods on the bench in his big
gest game only served to con-
firm the belief. Berries, of the
Navy, hardly had a chance in the
rain and mud, but he was always
just another good football player
and there are far too many OF
this kind. 1t was, in fact, largely
a backfield year, with few con-
spicuous figure. in the line.
The competition being what it
was, Berries doesn't quite get up to
the third term and, to our observ-
ers, this seems fair enough. 1t is
their impression and mine that If
the Navy coaches had to make a
choice between Berries and Clark,
for sheer value to the team,
they'd be quite unable to do it.
Three Real Backs
He doesn't, in any case, belong
in a backfield with Lund, Howell
and Grayson. They're the perfect
trio; they do anything with foot
ball except swallow it. AS for
Williams, he not only did every

Ruel as Coach

Herold muddy Ruel, veteran
catcher, has been reengaged by
the Chicago White Sox for 1885.
Ruel, who is 38 years old, will
assist in the coaching of young
pitchers in addition to his regular
work. Muddy began his career in
1915, and the coming season will
mark the tWenty-first for him in
organized ball. He had an oppor-
tunity to manage in the minors
next year, but chose to remain
with Jimmy Dykes at Chicago.
