v Future All-America Elevens to Lose Stan TABOO BY COACHES BODY MINIMIZES THEIR VALUE Walter Camp’s Early Selections Were Contributjion to Game, But He Realized That Choices in Recent Years Meant Little. BY H. C. BYRD. ITIH the decision of the American Foot Ball Coaches Association recently in New York to use their influence to do away with all-American elevens and not to make such sclections them- | the passing of all-American teams, cxcept for those that may be selected by news er writer ems to be marked. Undoubtedly ali-star teams will be picked for years to come, but such wide \a.'i..tion\ in the choice of players will be noted that the se- lections will have little real standing. In other words, a rcal all-American team, the institution created by Walter Camp and copied by others, scems to be almost a thing of the past. : The value of selections of this kind has long been questioned and when practically every coach in the country of dny standing comes out flatfootedly against the practice, it would secem that except for the value a newspaper may get out of printing selections of its own as a feature for its own pages, the day of usefulness of all-American teams is done. It is not generally known, but Wal- ter Camp himself, two years before his death, expressed the opinion that the | original purpose of all-America teams | had long since been accomplished, that | conditions had come to be such it was | impossible to select such an | eleven | with falrness to all. and felt it was time for him to discontinue picking his annual teams. It is a fact| the publication of his all-America | teams in the Foot Ball Gulde because he felt that it was giving official atatus to something that could never be fair and because he felt that ex ploftation of the players’ names was not for the best interests of the game. Robs Them of Value. The intelligent effort now being made to discontinue anything that savors of all-America teams from any viewpoint that might give them any- thing, even a tinge of officlal status, really adds interest to the all-America teams that were picked by Camp in- stead of detracting from them. Other all-America teams never did and| never will amount to much, but Camp's elevens will and should go down as a part of the history of foot ball, as one of the big constructive ef- forts which helped make the game what it Is. 5 It was in 1889 that Walter Camp concelved ihe idea of picking an all- star team to be known as an All- America and to have published the selection in order to create an inter- set In foot ball. The game then was not well known and was played only Dby & few teams in the East. It was a perfectly feasible proposition to select an All-American eleven then and for several years after, and it was owing | to the intelligent selections made by Camp that the All-America elevens became popular and o great honor for those named on them. But as foot ball | grew and grew and grew the task of | making such selections became great- | er and greater and greater. Will Retain Place. And honors that were accorded to foot ball players through Camp's All- America teams also will hold a pace in foot ball history. Whenever a his- tory of foot bali is written the names of men who held places on Camp's teams should be a part of it. Such lLionors as some men won in these selections never will be equaled be- cause there is no means by which they can be equaled. From 1 until the day of his d@exth, last year, Camp selected all- America teains, vet in all those years only four men won the honored places four consecutive yea Those men were Frank Hinkey of Yale, Marshall Newell of Harvard, Truxton Hare of Ivania and Gordon Brown of Anad it is exceedingly Interest- ing to note all were linemen. Hinkey was an end, while the other three were guards. Hinkey was on the all- star gelection from 1891 through 1894, | Newel from 1890 through 1893, Hare | {rom 1897 through 1900 and Brown | from 1897 through 1900. | Nine men were selected for three consecutive years, and of these it is | interesting to note that only two were backs. 1In justice to some of these | nine, it might be said that they were | among the greatest players that ever | lived and might have won places on | the zll-American team for four con- secutive years had eligibility rules or something else not prevented their participation for a longer period. “Pudge” Heffelfinger of Yale, for instance, made the team three years, but probably would have made it longer had it not been for the fact that he played one or two years before the selections were begun. Heffelfinger made the team from 1889, the first year it was selected, through 1891 Pair of Great Backs. Eckersall of Chicago and Mahan ot Tarvard are the only backs that have ever been chosen for three consecu- tive years. Other men in the three-year honor roll are Wheeler of Princeton, 1892 through 1894; Lea of Princeton, 1898 through 1895; Gilbert ot Pennsylvania, 1894 through 1896; Campbell of Har- vard, 1849 through 1901; Hogan of Yale, 1902 through 1904; Eckersall of Chi- cago, 1904 through 1906; Pennock of Harvgrd, 1912 through 1914; Mahar of Harvard, 1913 through 1916. While consistency was a jewel with these men, as it won such unusual honors for them, it seems that there flashed across the gridiron skies at times meteors which seemed for the time being more brilllant. At least, ouiy four of the 13 men who got four and three year places on all-America teams won their to a place en; the all-time, al n team picked by Camp in 1908. These were Ecker- sall, quarter; Hinkey. end, and Hare | and leffelfinger, guards. «2mp’s all-time team should also be ristorie. as it probably covers a wider and more diversified range of foot ball than has been covered by any other man. Shevlin of Yale was the other end; Dewitt of Princeton and Fish of Harvard were the tackles; Schultz of Michigan, center; Heston of Michigan and Weekes of ‘Columbia, halfbacks, und Coy of Yule, fullback. ‘The Great Eleven. It is a fact, too, that in Camp's opinion these were not only the great- st foot ball players developed before vear they were selected, but also t of all time. About a year before he died, while in 2 Washington vewspaper office, Camp was usked di- rectly if he had to pick another all- time, all-America team what changes | he would make, or what players on the | 1908 team would be siipplanted. After considering for a moment the reply came. “Not one. I have watched Thorpe and all the later stars, but I think those eleven men were the great- est’players in their respective posi- tions that ¢>er trod the gridiron.” Camp's cll-America teams were distinctive, and, while all-American teams may noy’ be in_disfaver and may have accomplished their entire purpose, those that were honored on Camp’s selections will long be remem- | bered as the greatest players of foot ball. ‘No future players can hope to attain quite the same distinction that was theirs. | part in the Brooklyn College game |in the meantime may warrant their |GIRLS’ GAME EXCITES | Interest | aistributed. ALL COLLEGE QUINTS IN ACTION THIS WEEK The basket ball schedule for local colleges is not as heavy this week as | last, although at least one or another | team is hooked for a game every night. George Washington opens tomorrow night a four-game trip, being listed 1o play at West Virginia Wesleyan in its first encounter, at West Virginia Uni versity Tuesday, at University of, Pittsburgh Wednesday night, and at Geneva College Thursday. Gallaudet has only one game, being carded to play that with Maryland at College Park Wednesday night. ‘The same night Georgetown has i contest on Its home floor with Lebanon Val ey. Friday night Washington College appears against Maryland at College Park in what should be one of the best games of the year hereabouts. Washington College, which was unde- feated last season, had Maryland, as well as Navy, among Its victims. It claims to be just as strong now. Saturday night the Washington Col- lege team comes in town to meet Georgetown in the Ryan gymnasium. The first college swimming meet of the year Is to take place Saturday night at Catholic University, with Lehigh as the oposing squad. C.

Sometimes this is due to ‘etter jumping, but often it is due ! to foul tactics, which are some- times overlooked by officials. In the illustration on the left, the shorter player in the black Jjersey is unable to jump as high as the taller one. To secure the ball he adopts the tactics pictured on the right; that is, he strikes the wrist of the taller man as they reach the top of their jump. In consequence, he taps the ball himself to one of his teammates. This is a poor system to follow: and we call attention to it here merely to warn players to guard against it. When it is attempted by opponents be sure to notify the offieials. W. & L.
