The East has probably the greatest
group of fine centers it has had in re-
cent years. There are at least five
centers, any one Of whom Is good
enough to be an all Eastern selection
in any ordinary year.
Basrak, Duquesne, a 220-pounder.
has been a great pivot-man all sea-
son. Wojciechowicz Of Fordham has
been the most spectacular defense CEN
ter in the East. Ray of Dartmouth
was selected as our all-East center last
year and is an improved player this
season. He Is great inspirational
leader on the field. Messervey of Tenn
pie, according to Glenn Warner, is
one of the greatest centers that the
veteran has ever coached. When you
think of Warmers fine centers of the
past this is high praise. Hauze Of
Pennsylvania Is remarkably fine CEN
ter. All of these boys are strong de-
fensely, are good passers and have
carried out their offensive assignments
satisfactorily. The selection of the
all-East center is very much of a toss
up. All things considered, my selec-
tion is Wojciechowicz.
Sandbach Best General.
A s Is usually the case, there are .
great number of outstanding
backs in the East. In the backfeld

ness. 1t is necessary to have an out
standing field general. a good kicker,
exceptional passing. decisive blocking,
good ball carrying and strong defense.
This all-star backheld must have an
attribute of alertness and smartness
both extensively and defensively.
For quarterback the choice Is Sand
bach of Princeton. This boy has been
star for three years, and is one of
the East's best field generals. He is
flne passer, a great blocker and q
good ball carrier.
Murray Of Pennsylvania is another
specialist, real triple.threat per-
former who would add strength to
any backfield
The two work horses of the backfeld
are Handrahan of Dartmouth and
Osmanski of Holy Cross. Handrahan
is fine bucker and very good ball
handler. OsmansN is one of the
Understanding backs I have seen in
recent years. These two boys would
give any backf1eld great power.
Some Other Good Ones.
"A SECOND backfield that probably
is just as good as the one Sc
lected could be composed of Meyer,
Army; Frank, Yale: Larue, Pittsburgh,
and Jaeger of Colgate. Other boys
who have turned in consistent per-
forn1ances for the year are White,
Princeton; Mcleod, Dartmouth;
Schmidt and Ingram, Navy; Luck
man and Furey, Columbia; Kidd, Holy
Gross; Dulkie, Palau and Mautte Of
Fordham; Goldberg and Stapulis,
Pittsburgh: Stopper, villanova; Al
banese, Syracuse: whalen and Byrne,
Manhattan; Batten, Cornell; Oakes,
Harvard; Smith, Buchnell; Kaba-
rosky, Trinity; Burke and Labor, Col.
gate; King, Hobart; Ryan, Army: FL
verson and Kurlish, Pennsylvania;
Harrison, Penn State; Brumbaugh,
Duquesne. and Thompson, Boston
University.
In the selection of an all East team
my one regret is that out of so many
fine foot ball players only II can
be selected. There are doubtless as
many fine players not selected as
there are on the team. At any rate,
would be glad to take the above
selection and try to make a repre-
sentative Eastern foot ball team out
Of them.
