It's rather early In tho foot ball season to begin the election of t lie nll-Amerl-ean foot bailers, but. Just the same, Mm young persons hailing from the different Institutions of learning already have performed In such style that they may be regarded aa amnnit the truly Crr4, In a foot ball war. Ghee, the Dartmouth quarterback, Ih considerably among thoo , present this year. Ghee, last year, mi generally elected as the all-eastern quarterback because of Ma fine work, but had to step aside when the all-American ab jections were made and surrender the honor to Dorlaa, the great general of the 1913 Notr Dame team, t'p to the present time, Ohee seems to Hand head and shoulder above the other star quarterbacks. It If possible that In the Mr games to be played thla month aome of the other quarterbacks will perform In style that will eclipse Ohee, but anyone who experts to over shadow Chess work must do soma hurrying. Solan Big" Surprle. Solon, the Minnesota fullback, la tear. Ins up the opposition lines In a sur prising fashion this year. He was (rood last year, but thla year his work la bril liant. On the defensive, Rolon la a tower of strength, and. If he keeps up his early work ha will demand consld abla attention when the all-American Jobs are passed out. Talbott of Yals, who was Walter Camp's selection for one of the all-A mr lean tackles. Is playing far beyond his work of last year, and, unless ha "cracks" during the big games, ha Is practically certain of being the unani mous choice as on of the all-Amertcan tack ea. Le Jorge, a Tala sophomore, has been doing some wonderful "work for Yale In the fullback position. lis hasn't been tested In the big games as yt, but his showing In ths early games forces the foot hall experts to give him great con sideration at this time. LeQorg Is game clear through. He's a fine Una masher, an adept at the open style game, and a great man on the defensive. Everywhere he has been regarded as one of tha season's finds. Splawn and Maulbetach, tha great Michigan back-field men, seem pretty cer tain of landing Jobs on tha All-Western eleven, and. If they continue their past form, may make a strong bid for places on ths All-American. Both are fine hoot ers, both ara fast, and both ran hit a Jlne almost with tha Heston power of old. Almost but not quite. Haabttt Riant la Lln. Hughltt, tha quarterback star of Mich igan, aeemed certain of tha honor of being tha All-Western quarterback un til Injuries forced him out of tha game. Hughltt's futurs work may not ba af fected by his Injuries and It may. If It is. It probably will kill HughltV's chances for tha All-Western honor. Knowlea and Alnaworth, of Yale, hava been doing soma fine back field work. They hava tha forward pass down to a fin point Both men ara circling tha ends thla year In a way that brought big gains for Yale and both ara heady. Soucy of Harvard, tha AU-Ameiioan renter last year, won't grab tha honor this year unless ha makes a surprising Improvement Ills work at that position has been a disappointment Wiley, of Tale, has been ruahlng along at a great clip, and he surely will ba In position to make a strong bid for tha big honors If ho maintains his past clip In tha Princeton and Harvard games. Tha University of Pittsburgh eleven, which already has beaten soma of tha best and biggest teams In tha east will put forth a number of candidates for ths high honors. Bajlln, of Prlnoeton, ona of Camp's All-Amertcan tackles last year, la performing In flna atyla thla year. Ha seems like a strong candidate for theAll-Ea stern honors, and may take tha All-Amertcan again. Klchealaab Blgr Flgare. Elchenlaub of Notra Dust was a big figure In tha fight for tha All-Weatarn fullback job until tha Yala gams. Ths big fullback failed to Uva up to predic tions In that gama and his stock slumped. Tha '"Diversity of Chicago has two flna back field men and two great Una men that deserve much consideration when tha A II-Western honors are doled out Des Jardlen, Chicago center, who was the almost unanimous All-Amertcan selection last year. Is performing In great fashion this year and undoubtedly will draw tha double honor of being selected at the All-Western and All-American renter for 114. Brlckley. the great Harvard fullback, probably weuld hava been the unanimous All-Amertcan fullback had he remained In the gama throughout tha season. Hut tha fact that he will be out fur all the big games seems to kill his chances for landing the big honor. Of course, no definite selections of tha all-star teams ran be made at this Urn a Tha big games still ara to be played. It Is the big games that furnish ths real teats. Sorai players show up as wonder during tha preliminary games when pitted against lighter teams. But In tha big games they fall. It Is on their showing In the big games, more than on thetr show ing In the small games, that the selection must ba made. But this one thing seems fairly certain. Tha players who drew Jobs on tho All American, All-Eastern and All-Western teams last year, and who ara In tha game this year, hava a flna chance of repeat ing, because, up to tha present time, only a' few players out of tha hundreds of new ones here risen to heights from which they can challenge tha stars of Mil GOOD OUTLOOK FOR BOXING Season Ahead Promise Many Inter esting Matches of Fistic Art.
