! Evry man mentioned haa tremend

to bis respective position and the kind
f spirit vrhich -will to victory against
vny odds.
Good Ends Few
If any one position can be said to
liav lacked a generous crop of stars It
I in the wing department. The great
est ones have shown In the west where
the forward pass has been pore buc
ressfully used. The improvement In
he defense apalnst the aerial attack
Is perhaps the cause of the dearth.
' Carney of Illinois and Muller of Cal
ifornia, are a pair who have shown ex
ceptional ability to do the work as
eiirned to them. They are rangy, fast,
effective on defense as well as offense
mnd blessed with the necessary dash
ffr tbe position. Weston of Wisconsin,
K. Anderson of Xotre Dame, Belding
of Iowa and Robertson of Dartmouth
are other ffreat wing- men.
Star Tackle
Flashy tackles who dominate their
I
1
positions are Keck of Princeton and
Honnenberjr of Dartmouth. Keck, who
ran aJso kick in & convincing manner,
kppeara to be almost in a class by
himself, while Dartmouth's thief source
rf strength has been in Sonnenberg,
Smoot of Oklahoma is another lumi
nary who has filled the shoes that Tol-
bert left vacant when he went to Cam
bridge. Scott of Wisconsin has per
formed bis dutlcn'hriliantly, while Huff
man of Ohio State deserves laurels,
laullrk of Syracuse, Slater of Iowa, and
Uoeti of Michigan also rank among the
)est.
Great Guards
The choice of the season's guards
is allotted to Tolbert of Harvard airdl
Griffiths of Fenn State. Tolbert, the
giant Oklahoman, has paved the way
for the Crimson attack that haa ex
hausted opponents in nearly every
game. Griffiths has been a brilliant
star on a brilliant team for Coach Bez
rirk. Acosta of Tale. Woods of Har
; vard, Dickinson of Princeton. Trott of
- Ohio State and Dung- of Wisconsin
, have also stood out.
, Pivot Man
' Center play has come into its own
for full recognition of its importance.
I Jle must pass intricately and accurately
1o fast moving back if his team is to go
; -with due precision. He is required to
JMagnoje the enemy's play and quickly
tlo a lion's share of the attack.
I Captain Depler of Illinois is perhaps
ihe best big center in the country, as
I Weaver is the choice light pivot man in
the game- D pier has been a big fac
l -tor in the Husker's success, besides
rarrying the additional duty of team
leader. Alexander is next in line as
a big center. He has revealed a style
f play that Is called the roving cen
1 ler. His size should make him out-

FOOTBALL WORLD
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YOItK, Nov. 29. The close of
the eastern football season finds the
task of selecting a championship
eleven more complicated than usual.
In past years it has frequently been
the case that one 'varsity team, with a
remarkable record, stood out so prom
inently that it was the choice for titu
lar honors among a large majority of
the gridiron experts. Such a situation
does not exist this year.
Six college or university elevens
passed through the 6eason without de
feat, but in the esse of five of these
teams the record was marred by one or
more tie gaihea. Boston college is the
only one which has an absolutely clean
slate to date and that team still has
one game to play, being scheduled to
meet Holy Cross next Saturday.
Harvard, Princeton, Pittsburg, Penn
sylvania State and Stevens all closed
their schedule undefeated, but the tie
contest between Princeton and Har
vard left the question of supremacy
unsolved. Pennsylvania State played
tie games with Pittsburg and Lehigh;
Httsburg was tied by Syracuse and
Pennsylvania State, 'while Middlebury
held Stevens to a scoreless tie.
A second group, but thinly separated
from the first divisin, would include
Dartmouth. Syracuse, SJavy, Army,
Brown, Holy Cross, Lehigh, Williams
and Yale.
An analysis of the record of the vari
ous college elevens of the East devel
ops somo interesting and confusing
data. The vv est Point cadet team, al
though defeated by the Navy and No
tre Dame, managed to roll up an ag
gregating score or 314 points which, so
far as scoring is concerned, gives the
Army the first place in the section
totals. Williams, with Benny Boyn
ton the star individual scorer of the
East, is next in line with 312 points,
although defeated in three out of the
eight games played. Pennsylvania
State and Cornell are third and fourth
respectively with 259 and 231.
From a defensive standpoint Boston
appears to hold the palm, as the team
hold its opponents to" 16 points, of
which Yale made 13 and Mariett 3.
Syracuse was next with a low op
ponent score of 27. while Harvard was
a close third, with 28 points. Hoi
Cross was fourth with 80. but it still
has the Boston college team to stand
cff. Eight games was the average on
the eastern college schedule and the
maximum ten.

By DEAN SYNDER
Modern football has come into full
blossom during the season of 1920,
now drawn to a close.
It has been the biggest year the
game has ever known. Record crowds
have filled the stadiums throughout
the country. Increased enthusiasm
has been shown everywhere and many
great players have come to light by
their spectacular and thrilling per
formances on the gridiron.
Picking an All-American eleven
mythical eleven that has never played
together and perhaps never will is at
best but a hazardous attempt to in
clude men representative of what an
ideu eleven should be composed of.
All over America sporting writers
are engaged-in this fantastic and more
or less futile pastime. The practice of
proclaiming that any one or two
players are best in their respective
positions is nearly as time-honored,
however, as the gridiron game Itself.
And it seldom leads to anything more
definite than promoting endless argu
ment by football enthusiasts all over
the country as to the superior merit
of their favorites over those selected
by the nervy pickers of All-Amerlcan
teams.
In a season replete with surprises
and intersectional clashes the football
loving public has had its conception of
the sreut American collegiate sport
broadened as never before.
All-American teams used to be
picked for the most part from among
members of the Yale. Harvard and
Princeton elevens. Gradually and
tardily smaller colleges In the east
produced football players who by
sheer power and individual brilliancy
DEPLER-C CtLUMOtSY
challenged recognition on this purely
theoretical eleven.
War brought together almost all the
star football players of high school
and college and It was not unusual for
high school stars to play alongside
college heroes without discredit to the
former. Service teams abounded and
did much to promote morale for play
ers and aoldier spectators alike. Thus
it was possible for followers of the
game to see by actual demonstration
that a tackle like Tolbert of Oklahoma
was as good or better than the best in
the army from any of the big three
teams of the east. In fact, it was the
super-ability of Tolbert on the cham
pion service team in France that led
to his abandonment of Oklahoma for
Harvard, where he has become an out
standing Dlayer on one of the most
powerful teams ever developed at that
institution. !
While this discovery, made entirely
through army football during the war,
that the c,am of football material of
the land waa not confined to the big
three, came a liberalization in the
picking of mythical AU-American
teams.
It is with a firm belief that the east
has no corner on the best material
and that the middle and far west and
the south have every cause to be
proud of their individual gridiron
heroes, we rresent an All-American
team that we feel is thoroughly rep
resentative of the country as a whole
and is composed of players who. as
individuals, possess the ability to play
together and do all that an ideal foot
ball team is supposed to do.

GENUINE SURPRISES
Tittleton, the tragedian, boasted that
nature was his only teacher.
"Please tell me," an admirer once
asked, "is that expression of astonish
ment you assume in the second act of
your last play copied from nature, too?"
"It is,'" said Tittleton; "but I had no
end of trouble to get it. To secure that
expression I asked an intimate friend
to loan me $50. He refused. That
caused me no surprise. I tried several
other friends. Thy refused. Still I
was not surprised. Finally I asked one
who was willing to oblige me, and as
he handed me the sum I studied in a
glass the expression of my own face
I saw surprise there, but no astonish
ment. It was alloyed with the suspicion
that the money might bo counterfeit.
I wa.s in despair. Whre should I find
genuine astonishment?"
"Well," continued the admirer, "and
where did you get it?"
"Then an idea struck me." the trage
dian said; "1 resolved upon a desper
ate course. I returned the $30 to my
friend next day, and on his astounded
countenance a saw the expression I
sought.' Philadelphia Ledger.

THE INSIDER SAYS
How do they conquer? you Inquire;
Why are the victors under fire?
You say they must have lots of luck
I tell you plainly it is pluck.
The team tbat curls up under fire
To laurel wreaths cannot aspire;
They're way beyond the aid of luck;
They lose because they haven't pluck.
Ohio State, champions of the Big Ten football conference, has a ay-eat foot
ball team. Its post-season game with Oklahoma, if one is possible, win be
worth going miles to see.
Coach Wilce of Ohio has developed some wonderful gridiron phenoms. Harley.
Stinchcomb, Workman and Taylor are a quartet of them. Even without the
services of the ace of them all Harley Wllce brought his team through an
undefeated season.
It is not taking anything from Wllce'a glory to aay that all season long he
lined up twelve men against the opponent's eleven.
Besides his regular line and backs all good men and true he had Old Man
Luck on his side.
Look back on the season and note the games Ohio pulled out of the fire, won
on a narrow margin, won in the final moments of the fourth quarter. -v.
A goal from touchdown beat Chicago; Wlscontin had the game won till tha
last few minutes; Michigan gave them a scare; Illinois had them 0 to 0 almost
till the moment tho timekeeper put his whistle to his Hps for the final blast-
Perhaps it Isn't quite fair to call Ohlo'a twlftl man Old Man Lack. Rather,
It was Old Man Stlcktoit,
the choice of Arizona. If Coola can
cover 10.2 miles two seconds faster
than the Chic.iKO winner and over a
harJer course, he stands a very good
chance of winning tho big race. At
any rate the Indian athlete will be care
fully coached by Professor Durant o
the Phoenix Indian school and local
fans can take a greater Interest in the
next marathon race. Coola won the
1919 marathon in less time, than he
covered the course in 1920 and tho fans
are confident he can lower the record
several seconds.

Ohio never gave up. Ohjo wasn't beaten because she never acknowledged

If the score was against .them and ten minutes left to play, Ohio's eleven
went ahead and scored the winning touchdown, sometimes In just nine minutes

Ohio never gave up. That's the kind of spirit one likes to see on a football
team. That's the kind of spirit that has won undying fame for Yale.
It is refreshing to see such a clearcut exhibition of the never-say-die spirit
