Each division played the same game at the same time and after the end of each game the boys moved on to the next division. Dean Burnett then gave the gathering a very inter esting address.

THE 1914 HONOR LIST FOOTBALL 8TARS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THREE C0RNHUSKERS NAMED West and 8outh Are Well Representee: Harvard Has Seven Names on the List, While Yale, Cor nell Have Four Each By . I. Kyle. Each year, following the football season, the Outing Magazine publishes a "Football Roll of Honor." Four years ago the Outing, feeling that the system of choosing an all-star eleven was wrong and unjust for the reason that no one man could see all the various' taems of the country In action, and that each authority has his own ideas as to what constitutes a good player, evolved the system of choosing the stars of the gridiron without set ting one above the rest arbitrarily, where there was no true criterion by which to Judge their respective strengths. The plan adopted by the Outing for the choosing of this "Roll of Honor" was to have the most promi nent coaches from all over the country send a list of the men whom they saw in action who, In their opinion, stood out as the best in their position. This year's "Roll of Honor," which will appear In the January number of the Outing, contains the names 01 three Cornhuskers, Capt, Halligan, Captain-elect Rutherford, and Cham berlain being the honored ones. Fol lowing Is the Outing's list of Ail-American stars: Football Roll of Honor The men whom the best coaches of the country have named as the stars of the gridiron in 1914: Ends Hardwick, Harvard. Merrilat, Army. Stavrum, Wisconsin. ., 0Hearn, Cornell. Cherry, Ohio tSate. Robinson, Auburn. Tackles Halligan, Nebraska. Burton, Kansas. Ballin, Princeton. Talbot. Yale. Trumbull, Harvard. Buck, Wisconsin. Keeler, Wisconsin. Shull, Chicago. Cody, Vanderbilt. Kelly, Tennessee. (Continued on page Z) DR.
