STANFORD'S only real threat came
at the start Of the third period,
when Joe Vollmer. Columbia safety,
fumbled and Leo Ferko, Indian left
guard from San Francisco, recovered
on Columbia's %.
Here the Columbia line gave up
only 2 yards in two tries and Columbia
backs batted down the next two passes
tossed by the Indian southpaw passer
and kicker, Dick Brigham.
Columbia played wise, alert ball.
Even when the Stanfords broke
through and blocked two of Schulze's
punts, the Lions recovered. the New
Yorkers' only offensive of the last half
came when a pass from Luckman
bounced of Jim CoffS' arms into
Furey's hands on the Stanford 48.
This was the only time in the third
period Columbia was able to sneak
into enemy territory.
Cofis was a constant threat from

Foot Ball Vastly Improved.

THE caliber of college foot ball has
improved so much and over so
wide range Of territory In the last
few years that there are literally
dozens of backs and linemen claiming
the all-America picke-s' attention. 1t
was with much regret, for instance,
that we omitted from our all-star
squad Of two teams the names OF
ends like Kosak Of Northwestern, Ben
ton Of Arkansas and Schroeder Of
U. G. L. A.; tackles like Scheyer Of
Washington, Eager of Stanford and
Daniel of Pittsburgh: guards like
Pierce Of Fordham, Montgomery Of
Princeton and Bassi of Santa Clara;
centers like Hauze Of Pennsylvania,
Gilbert of Auburn, Ray of Dartmouth
and Wojciechowicz of Fordham, and
backs like Schindlar of Southern Cali
fornia, Isbell of Purdue, Uram of Min
nesota, Sandbach of Princeton, Fa-
lashi of Santa Clara, Handrahan Of
Dartmouth and Frank Of Yale.
But we think our team, as it stands,
Is a good one. worthy of all-America
rating. The line, while not so heavy
as some Of those in the past, Is
unusually fast and hard charging. The
backs are strong defensively and able
In the blocking department, as well
rs brilliant at moving the ball.
For the first time in several seasons,
IL different colleges are represented
In the first-string lineup There
was no punching of talent this year.
Every part of the country, nearly
every big league school, had a candi-
date to offer. Three Fasteners make
the team this year, as opposed to
only one last year. There are three
Southerners, one man from the Pa
cif1c Coast and four from the wide
expanse which is called, for con-
venience, the Middle West.
Analysis of Team.
I ETs look them over, one at .
time:
Tinsley-A popular choice for all
America honors in 1885, this great end
came on strong in his final season for
Louisiana State. In addition to his
speed and his genius on the defense,
he developed into q first-rate pass re-
eeiver. There was no better mechani-
cal end In the country.
Widseth-Minnesota's giant tackle
was on our first team last year, and
continued to dominate the field.
Weighing 220 pounds and playing full
time in nearly all major games, Wild
seth was outstanding in . character
btcally strong Minnesota line.
Resd-Northwestem had . line
which consistently opened holes for
the teams fine running attack. and
Reid, at guard, was the leading line
man In this department of play as
well Is on the defense. A big, rangy
fellow, he had the speed of . bantam
weight plus world Of power.
Herwig-For the second straight
year, Herwig stood out in q magnin-
cent field Of centers. A bull's-eye
passer and . first-rate tackler and
diagnostician, he gets the edge over
others Of his own caliber because Of
the Commute ball games he played
from start to finish of the season.
Glassford - The power house and
spark plug Of Pitt line which was
second TO none In the country. Smart
