Some of the pigskin heroes of laat year havo fallen back into the Tuck, but new heroes have leaped into their places. ERE is my eelection for an all- Eastern team. Wonderfully strong on the defense, possessing a va- Med attack, including the man whose skill has made the football world clamor about bis “luck,” and, the greatest kicker in the East, is doubtful that any other team could be selected that could succenstully cope with this one: White and Bomeisler, ends; Hart and Devore, tackles; Duff and Fisher, guanis; Ketcham, centre; Howe, quar- terback; Dalton and Wendell, halfbacks; << coe na ing game, which predom- inated this year, Dalton, one of the dest booters in the country, ‘would do the Kicking for this team, The backfield could play either an old-fashioned line game or the modern open fie running attack. Hesides their other qualifications, the aforenamed players have all displayed keenness in follow- ing the ball. for Abe Attell’ etantial Attell was many feet away, eering. an : Tom O'Rourke, the manager of Al Palser, was largely responsible for Kune receiving the beating hy did, for had he not gotten Attell’s “goat” by kidding him the chances are <.at Able Atal have eased up on the Newark vy. As it was Attell kept up a running conversation with O'Rourke during the entire bout. At one time when clinched with Kline he shouted: “I'm only giv- ing Kline what Kennedy gave Palzer the other night. At another time Atte!! showed his re- markable eye for judging distance when he looked in O'Rourke's direction and at the same (ime landed Kline who was on the other side of him, The fourth round was the best of the session for in this perlod Kline landed @ stiff punch op Attell’s jaw which stung him to action, and Kline must have thought the celling was raining boxing gloves #0 rapidly did Abe mote out punishm Kine just couldn't understand why he didn't connect with Attell’s anatomy, Oftentimes after he missed Abe in his terrific lunges he would go headlong across the ring. ‘Then Attell would fol- low him and endeavor to find a resting Place for his punche but which he found hard to do, 4% Kline would fold! up like a jacknife At the end of the contest iiin was a bright red from the swats that Attell gay was mpletely tired out b his fruitless ex tons in ying to hit th title-hold. hting 1s certainly some business for Ss nose Columbia Five Abe. part of both fives, due partly to the fact that neither had played together Beats Maryland '' fore.

In that he has upset football tradition, ‘hey used to fall on the ball. White has developed an improvement. An end of the Shevlin and Kilpatrick type, Bomeisler is selected for the other end position chiefly because of his phen- omenal playing in the Princeton game. Not @ Princeton man could circle his end or run back punts very far when Bomelsler was around, and. he had habit of being around when he wi needed.

Princeton's march for @ championship didn't com- mence until Hart was able to play in the Navy game. Old Nassau's captain didn't play tackle alone. He seemed to be all over the flold making tackles in the open as well as plugging up the other side of his ine. On the defer uve, Hart was a Chinese wall through which opposing players seldom penetrated, Many a gain was made by a Tiger through holes Hart made in the op- posing line.

Miller of Penn s Butler of Cornell and Gilchrist of the Navy were other good quarters, Dalton—HALFBACKS—Wendell ALTON, the Navy captain, prac- D tically kicked himself into a half- ‘back position. He was easily the best kicker in the East. His place kick won the Army game, while his long-dis- tance punting was the chief factor in the fine showing the Middies made this year, Dalton's running with the ball was almost as good as his kicking. First he would flash around an end with the @peed of a Pendleton. Then he would tear through the Une with the strength of Wendell, There can be no questioning Dalton's right to a position in the dackfleld, Wendell, white: he didn't play up to last year's standard, was one of the best halfbacks this season, He rarely failed to gain through the line on any of his plunges. .
