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
