Follnwlnff the custom of selecting an
All-i::istern football team, It will not be
out of place to choose an All-Uastem
soccer eleven, selected from incmbets of
tiie IntereolleKiato LeaBiie. After cateful
consideration tho above have been placed
on tho team.
It will be noticed that rcnnsylvanln has
four places, while tho lnteicollcKlate
champion, IIacrford CoIIokc, Rets but
two Tho chief reason for this is Hint
I'cnn had the better Individual phiycis,
and that their loss of tho IntercnlleRlate
championship was hroimht about bv the
play of one particular man on the Ilnvei
foul team This was J. Shipley, the II.iv
ctford ko.i1 keiper, who in tlio eiltlcal
KutniH with Harvard, Vale and l'ennsyl
vanla saved his side from defeat.
Tho Haverfoid backs were a tremen
dous help to Shipley, but Individually
thoy were not strong cnoueli to he selected
fur tho All-American eleven. Princeton
nnd Hnrvnid get two places nnd Colum
bia one.
Shipley Goal Keeper
.Shipley was elearlv entitled to tho posi
tion of goal keeper. Moore, of Princeton.
Kets the rlKlit fullback position and
Thayer, of Pennsvlvnnla. the left. Iloth
weio etcollent taeklcrs. they kicked well
and cleanly and were absolutely fenrlohs.
Hartwoll, of Haivard, earned the light
lialfb.ick position o feeds tho forwards
well and Is always In the right spot nt
tho right moment. Hirst and Molir, of
Pennsylvania, easily outclassed tho other
halfbacks In tho league at centre nnd
tight half, respectively, nnd their tights
to tho positions cannot he questioned
Stokis. of Haverford, was by far tho best
outside right In the league. He is ex
ceedingly speedy, centres well and nt
taking corners lie is excellent. II. II,
Slianlioltz, of Columbia, although a centre
forward, is placid at Inside right, because
ho Is tqunlly good In that position. Shan
liulU Is without doubt one of the best for
wards in tho league nnd very accurate.
Centre Forward
Hanoi), of Pennsylvania, undoubtedly
earned his place nt centro forward. He
keeps his wings together splendidly. Is
an accurate, kicker with either foot, and
thelo Is always lots of sting behind his
shots nates, of Princeton, gets tho In-
sble left position on account of his speed,
ttickluess and accurato passing, while
Weld, the Hurt aid captain. Is entitled to
tho outside left position for his clever
dribbling, speed and line cen res.
As substitutes, Murphy, of Pennsyl
vania, and I,eo, of Yale, would bo tho first
choices and nt fullback Thomas, of Cor
nell, would be entitled to the position
after Mooro nnd Thayer Murphy Is a
remarkable player, Inasmuch as he can
ploy In any position on the Held and even
kept goal for I'cnn ng.ilnst Columbia.,
Puritan Y. M. I. would llko to arrange

BACKHAND STROKE IS
WEAKNESS OF MOST PLAYERS
By W. T. T
AT Tim very opening of this article It
. will bo well to get sovural Generali
ties before us at once.
In the average tennis game, nnd cer
tainly with nil beginners, the backhand
Is a wenk stop and m
almost every case Is
protected so far as
possible. Tho ten
dency Is to cover up
nnd protect this part
of theunnic and so far
a." possible to elimi
nate It fiom play.
This Is a very bad
error, for the only
wav to develop a
backhand is to uso
It consistently and
equally with the fore
hand To most players tho
backhand Is a purely
T1I.M.N.
defensive shot. Thcie are only two players
who iclv on their backhand to pass n
net plnyer with. One Is Theodore Uoose
vclt Pell, ranked No. fi this year; the
other Is It. N. Willlnms, Id. our No. 2
man. They both scoto often off their
backhand, yet their shots uro totully
dlffeient.
Pell's shot, the most remarkable back
hand In the world. Is a fast drive, hit
Just as the ball stmts to fall from tho
top of its bound It Is hit with n full
arm BWlng niul a gteat deal of "top,"
the weight tinvellng into tho shot ns Pell
almost Jumps Into tmi ball.
It Is a wonderful piece of nlisolnte con
trol of footwoik. yet withal Is very er
ratic, because ho relics on ttrrllle force
to beat the other man. It Is generally ,t
sttalght shot, seldom anglcl.
WllllnuiH' shot, on tin other hand, i"
hit on tho rislne bounce with n very short
swing, tho incqiict meeting the bull full
l.-ivo and a vvilst tuin putting tho "top"
on it. Williams enn hit either straight or
cioss court fiom either side seeming '
equally well, owing in the shortness of hi i
swing, allowing him to change direction
nt tho last minute. Tho lemarkablo part Is
tho speed with which Williams can hit
cro.-s-coutt nnd hold tho hall In court.
Hut let us nil remember that we aro not
yet Pells and Williamson and therefoio let
theao trick shots alnno. For marvelous ui.
these shots ate, thoy are individual and
unique and should not bo copied until the
fundamental baukh'ind giound sttoku be
comes second nature, onco that Is accom
plished then wo can begin to work out
tho peculiar shot which will becomo an
attacking power.
lio not shield your backhand, never
from the habit of running around a ball
to get In on your fotehand. To do so only
weakens your backhand and laya you
open to easy attack, since your position
will bo bad.
!o not i hop your h.it Minnd until you
hnvo acquired the Mat ground stroke or
drive. No lews an authority than IT. II. 11.
Dcwhurfct say a unequivocally, "Never
chop your backhand under any circum
stances." Potior liewhurst ought to
know, for thete Is no gt eater authority or,
tennis sttokea in American today than he.
Chop Is Tabooed
Tho reason for this advice ngalnst the
chop stroke Is not that it is necessarily a
bad shot, but that It lacks pace. Today
pace is an absolute necessity, .since the
surest way to pass .. nun at tho net Is
pace plus fair direction. The very imturo
of tho chop stroke in Itself tends ngalnst
great speed, and tho result is that it is
an easy shot to volley onco it Is reached.
Vo not think that this Is advocating
I V T T1I.1H.N. 2li
Wi W& WtMMm ' OTTO KM?&
EJMWw? . (L I Taft Is Not Worrying
TOS7 SttTOM
ILDEN, 2d
"lacing the cover oft" every ball you hit.
Fur he It from that. It merely Is advis
ing tlio development of a uniform speed,
nnd the uiilfotm speed of a drive is
greater than that of a chop.
Tho only great chop stroko backhand
today Is Joseph J. At instiling, Pennsyl
vania State champion: but even his shot
lacks pace, and a net man causes Aim
strong a gicnt deal of trouble.
DefeiiMve Stroke
Malto your backhand first defensive
fiom the point of security and steadi
ness; do not ml.ss often off it until you
hegln using It offensively. When you
hi gin doing that expect to miss, for the
shot which scores most often and Is the
strongest attack will naturally go wrong
most often hccnUhc of the chances you
tako In trying to score.
Now the technique of tho back hand
ground Is made up of three tlilngH:
(l) Footwoik. (2) Weight control. (3)
Itncqiier swing. Of course, keep your
eyes on the ball; that ht fundamental
To hit straight off the backhand, the
feet should be parallel to the side line,
the toes making a light angle with It; the
weight should bo on the left (or back)
font and swing onto tho tight (or front)
foot nt moment of meeting tho bnll. The
racquer should meet the ball with a lint
face and the "lop" spin bo put on by the
tacqiiet traveling over tho hall, not under
It, as In a chop stroke. The racquet
should make almost a right auglo with
the aim, but the question of whether the
hand should ho shifted on tlio hnndlo Is
one puiely of personal comfort As n
rulo tlio hand Is shifted slightly; but If
this Is done, gel a 111 in grip of tho rac
quet before making tlio stroke. Tho great
essential In racquet work for all tennis
shots Is to hold tho racquet tightly and
hit firmly. Do not slacken your shot.
Tlio general line of the racquet on tho
backhand iliivo Is as follows;
First When tho ball is below level of
the net it travels up onto tho ball and
puts a small amount of "top" nn it,
Second When the ball Is about net
high meet tho hall Hat with medium
"top."
Thlrd-Whcn tho lull Is shoulder-high
or above, meet It coming nearly tlat. but
with a gteat amount of "top" spin. This
Is Teddy IVM's shot.
When wishing to lilt cross-court of tho
backhand, do not try to do It by swing
ing your racket face in various dli ra
tions, but change your footwork bo thut
your shot can be a Hat ill I to in any ease,
adviinco your right foot in front of or
nearer the sldo line, then your left, and
pull Into tho hall as your weight ad
vances onto it.
Abovo all tilings, havo confidence In
your backhand. Kipeet to mako your
shot. Strive for steadiness and correct
foim before you try to scoro off your
backhand drive.
