Making Up the

NEW TORK. Sept. JO-Th football
season of 1911 la fairly under wsy, and
th tima la ripe for "doptr" of this,
that and th other kind to get busy with
maaaaa of prognoMlcstion. advie and

tha gama, w fear te venture into tha
field of prophecy. Not yet having had
tlma to maka a twenty-four-hour--dy

steer clear of tha "lons-whlskered
Muff." Bo alt that la left It tha retro
spect, and i accordingly nominate our
unworthy self a "ratrospecticlsn" what
' mver that la.
"Let a get agotistlc and essay to plrk
aa All-Amertean-All-Tlme team. A bold
tally this, to be aura, hut w jump at
tha chanra eagerly aa a p'.a-ure Instead
of a task. Any effort to add. even In
feeble fneaaure, ona whit of glory to
thoaa brave warrior of tha cleated shoe,
who "fought. Mad and died" on tha gory
and glorious gridiron, la never ami.
Ia picking an AU-Arorican-All-Tlme
team, our effort will be to select six men
who, given ample practice together, would
prove tha atrongeat possible combination
under tha prevent regime of faat and
open play. Each man la considered ac
cording to hla ability when In hi prime.
Hera la our selection:
Enda-Kllpatrlrk. Yale; Shevlin. Yale.
Tsoklet McKay, Harvard; Hogarr Yale.
Guard Glass, Yale; DeWltt, Prince
ton .
Center Hsffelflnger. Yale.
Quarterback Eckersall. Chicago.
Halfbark Weekes, Columbia, Heaton,
Mlrhlsan.
Fullback-Coy, Yale.
For a aecond teem, we hand It to theae:
Ends Poe, Princeton; Wsuseka, Car
llale Indians
Tackles Kinney. Yale; Cooney, Prince
ton. Guards Fisher. Harvard; Plckartkl.
Pennsylvania.
Center-Holt. Yale.
Q'lertr Bprarkhng. Erewn.
Halfbacks Pendleton. Princeton; Rob
inson, (it. Lnula.
Fullback Dibbles. Harvard.
Thua tha first team I made up of a
majority of Yale men six of them Tha
other five are divided ono apiece between
Harvard. Princeton. Chicago. Columbia
and Michigan. The aecond team contains
three Princeton, two Harvard, two Yale,
and one each from Pennsylvania, Car
lisle Indiana Crown and St. IxmiIs. On
tha flrat team there are two men from
1MB elavena-KUpatrlck and McKay. Tha
aecond team has three last year men
Sprackllng, Pendelton and Fisher.
Aa to the Individual merits of ' each
man. Kllpa trick and Shevlin. of Yale,
were two ends, aa alike In atyle aa could
be found. Both were ten-aecond man
en tha track and both tipped tha acala at
over 2fl0 pounds. They were bull-dogs
of tha highest type. Poe of Princeton,
waa a marvel, but was so much smaller
than theaa two that he could hardl
be aelectad befor them. Wauseuka. tr
Indian, la given a placa on tha aeco
team, because of his remarkable r

In tha tackle position. McKay a
Hogan seem supreme. Both built nei.
tha ground, powerful In holding ia:
their spot In the Una against tha de
fenslva tackle, fast runners on a tackle
around play, and bulwarks of defense
Both attained note In breaking through
tha opponent Una and spoiling playa be
for they war atarted. Kennay, who
was Hogan's side-partner at Yale, was
much tha earn kind of a man, but a
trtfl alower. Cooney, who captained
Princeton In on of her great eat years,
was of th steady, dependable sort that
. waa arwaye ready In a tight situation to
deliver th goods, but was not as spec
tacular a th other three mentioned.
Tba guard position la about th hardest
to get a Una on. It la hard to observe
th work of theaa hard-working men In
tha middle of th pile. But nevertheless,
two men atand out above th rest even
her. They are Glass, ona of tha fiercest,
biggest and strongest men that ever wore
th bin of Ell and DeWltt, th Prince,
ton wonder. DeWltt would hardly get
tha place were It not for his celebrated
to, with which he punted and place'
kicked farther consistently than any other
man who evtr lived. For thla reason
alone, he would have to be on the team.
As a guard, pur and almpla. ha waa
Just aa little above th avarag In the
major college. Fisher, Harvard's pres
ent captain, and Flekarakl, th Pennsyl
vania whirlwind of 1KH, both excelled
DeWltt In strict line play, but must give
way befor hi kicking prowess.
At center there are two man who tow
ered head aad shoulders above all others.
The are Heffelflnger, of th early
'90s, who was th strongest point
in what was ona .of th greatest llnea
Yale eer had, and Hclt of Yale, 190J.
Old-tlmera will aay: "Heffelflnger waa
a guard." Bo h was. but record alao
tall us that on a tsw occasions ha plaed
th pivotal position. Heffelflnger, giant
that he was. and with his almost mlrao
ulous speed for a man of hla sis, would
probably make mlnc-meat of th aver
' f a ltn of nowadays.
Quarterback is probably th easiest
position of all to fill. Thar has been
a wealth of good men for tha general
Ship Job, but Walter Eckereall of Chi
cago, Is admitted supreme among them
aU. In addition to being one of the great
at open field runners In history, he was
a fierce and certain tackier, and hla
drop kicking won him such undying fame
that no mora need be aaid about him.
ipraekltng of Brown, who flashed across
th foot ball flrmanant like a comet last
year, baa earned hla light to aecond
choice. Before thla aeason la over, he
; may loom up aa greater than "Eckle.'
Two halfback that are cracks can be
named by any followers of the game, and
aupremacy In thla position la probably
mora disputed than in any other. After
considering half a doseo who looked good
i enough, we name Harold Weekea, the
. wonder of th last team that ever flew
tba color of Columbia, where the game
la no mora, and Willi Heaton of Mich'
Igan. Weekes would loae soma of hla
value because of tha rule barring hurd
ling, but hla dtssllrvg end runa alone
would entitle him to a place. Haaton

has trod a gridiron In recent years and
would be equally a valuable under th
now rules aa ha waa under the old Pen.
Alston of Princeton, laat year's star, Is
a little too tight to displace either Heaton
or Week.es.

again be seen on ths gridiron. He Is a re

NEW YORK, Sept. 30 There la nothing
on the foot ball field ao attractive aa
hlgh-claaa quarterback play, and there
will be plenty of It thla season. Yala has
In Arthur Howe, tha captain, one of the
beat quarters alpoe D Baulles; Harvard
has a promising man in Potter, tha base
ball player; Brown haa a star of the
flrat magnitude In Bprackllng. and there
are many other who will get the most
out of the position. Before th season
opened laat year there were many follow
er of th game, and some of them were
old varalty men, who aaid that the day
of the quarter haa pasaed, and that all
play thereafter would be mad from th
direct pass from center. Moat of th
men who took thi view were forwards,
for amy back know that he cannot hit
th ltn or pick a quick opening with th
ball slammed at him from the center. It
haa been tried and it has failed dismally.
Th quarter, aa It turned out, waa Juat
aa Important laat season as he ever was
In the history of tha gama The aame
will be true thla season.
While in many plays It la necessary
that tha quarter handle the ball, and
while his forward passing and aometlme
hi kicking are brilliant feature of hi
play. It I hi generalship that make him
indispensable, that makes him th real
key to tha gama. Foot ball require that
th man who has to do th moot daring
thlnga with tha ball must alao be the
brain of th game. Ilia responsibilities
are heavy all other thing being- equal,
he win or loae tha game.
Now, every good quarter goes Into a
game with definite Instruction. If h
follows theae Instructions and win he 1
a perfect man for tha place If h vlolatea
them and win he la a genius; if he vlo
latea them and loans no censure la too
severe. Certain playa are forbidden in
certain tones, and if tha quarter disre
gards the generalship laid out for him
he must "get away with It." Hyatt, the
army quarter, violated instructions in the
Yale game last year, and "mad it go."
Later the cadet tackled Harvard, and a
Hyatt had been Injured, the team wa run
by another man. from the fullback pool
tlon. Things promptly went wrong. The
aame system of generalship was In force,
th same play forbidden in certain sones.
One of these playa waa a particularly
clever onrtde kick that had worried Yale,
and tha new field general waa over
anxious to us It. He called for it In th

tha side groaned, but they could do
nothing. "

game gives the quarter every opportunity
to handle th ball, and to make th pretty
open play that delight th big crowd.
but th generalship, after all, Is the thing
on which the critic bases his final Judg
ment. With exceptional men exceptional plays
are poselbl. For Instance, last year
Yala had In How a man who could kick
with less protection that any other player
on the gridiron, and It was this special
aptitude of his that, as much as anything
else, held Harvard off In th final game.
It was possible for the Ells to revise
their defensive generalship by robbing
Howe of his protecting and sending so
many men down the field that the fast
Crimson back oould not run back kicks.
With any other man but Howe at quar
ter the result might have been vastly dif
ferent. In the matter of simple passing to the
back there never was a better man than
Phil King, but he waa playing, behind a
remarkable center, and th understanding
between them waa perfect. The ball came
back on the bound. King tossed It to the
spot where th back ought to be. and
when be got there the ball almost seemed
to hang In tha air,, in absolutely the
right position. In those dava most cen
ter pasaad th ball by rolling It along
th ground on It shorter axis. Th
quarter gave tha signal by pinching the
center' leg. Now center are usually
built pretty solidly, and It took a pretty
severe pinch at times to get the ball from
them. That accounted for some of the
play that want wrong, th backs starting
befor th ball was snapped, because the
center had not felt the quarter s pinch
one canter, in particular, was a very
hard man to get into action. Pinching
his leg wa like pinching the bole of a
treet
On of th substitute quarters, tired of
being acolded for not getting the play
under way. aolemnly stalked to the aide
llnea. picked up a plec of board, returned
to hi poaltion behind tha center, and
when he gave tha signal used the board
In a manner calculated to produce re
sults. Not only did th play get under
way quickly, but the center swept the
opposing center and th two guards back
as though they had been aacka of meal.
The game baa progressed since those
days, and tha atartlng algnal haa made
mUtakes of that sort all but Impossible.
The men who play the game today handle
the ball better and faster, although few
oldtlmera are willing to admit It. Th
quarter has the ball handed to him
nowadays, and he Is also relieved of the
dangerous duty of making the long pasa
to tha fullback for a kick. Hla passing

ber of problema to solve befor turning
out a successful eleven. Ther re tev
eral minor obstacle in th way of get
ting an efficient eleven, to be sure, but
Jumbo Stlehm is up against a most Im
portant task of developing a true, long-
dlstanc kicker and a stubborn Interfer

I fl cuttles, it na ' . salt that th Corn

shall be doomed to tk aome very eerioua
setbacka In their hopea for gridiron glory.
Nebraska, for th laat ivn year, has
been miaerably weak In Interference
There Is no use denying that "King" Cole
never developed sufficient protection for
the man running with the ball. In nearly
eiery Important game last fall the Corn
huskers were Ineffective because of weak
Interference. Their offensive game wa.-
of th weakest kind In the Minnesota and
Kansas exhibitions.
Timber Good This Fall.
Now. this fall, th Umber that has
been working out under the new coach
for the last two week haa proved Useu
to be of moat excellent defensive caliber.
In pat year th Cornhuskers have been

Nebraska at present Is shy on efficient
kickers. There apparently is no man on
the Bquad who can be depended upon
to kick a goal from the twenty-five or
thirtv-f!-.-yard line. Neither ia there a
maver who can punt for long distances
m this deDartment also the Cornhuskers
are weak. They were not strong here
last fall.

This fall Michigan and Minnesota will
not meet, as they have don annually Ki
the raft. It was the meeting of these
two teurus that brought about a setue
men of the championship question In thg
minds of the followers of the great col -
lege game. Because of the conference
ruling the Gophers were forced to leave
the Wolverines off their schedule when
It was made u;i las' 'nil. Now that these
two teama arc no, to meet, the only

common enemy Is the University of Ne

braska Is to be the center of interest In
western foot ball this fall, as well as
the team which Is to rlay an Important
role In bringing the championship ques
tion to a settlement.

might fall before some eleven on Its

stance, the Gophers would lose all claim
on th western championship. Michigan,
however, meets -no other western eleven
of prominence besides Nebraska, and will
go to Lincoln on November 26 with a
Justifiable claim to the championship of
the "west unless misfortune upsets the
planB of Fielding Yost.
Through the meetkng of both Michigan
and Minnesota. Nebraska will have sti
opportunity to annex the western title.
Should it ruin the hopes of the Gophers
at Northup field October 21, it would put
the Minnesota aggregation out of the

eleven capable of defeating the Wolver
inesthen the western championship
would be perched in Lincoln, Neb.
Whst all the rooters In the west do
hope Is that Stlehm will get his proteges
snto such shape that they will be able to
play both Minnesota and Michigan to al
most a standstill. Nebraska meets Min
nesota early In th season, October 21.
In past years the Cornhuskers hav bei
fairly well shaped for this contest, and
have been a worthy foe for the northern
team. With an excellent bunch of ma
terial for this fall. Stlehm probably will
have his men running about aa well as
the Gophers, whose ranks have been de
pleted through the loss of stars of last
fall.
