cept possibly Travis has ever approached.
They wero duted and engraved us follows-
"1912 Amateur Championship "
"1913 Amateur Championship
'19H Itunner-up, Amateur Champion-
Blllp."
"1915 Open Championship."
Tho ono silver medal came from 1914.
when tut went to thu llnal round, only
to fall beforo the exceptionally flno golf
of Vrancls Oulmet. Hut to offset this one
defeat ho beat lltans at match play In
1913, Oulmet nt match play In 1913 and
both Iltans and Oulmet In mtd.il play In
1915. Only it golfer of unusual skill and
unusual tenacity und determination could
round out four such tears In succession,
bit oh lug both match and medal play.
Kor four ronsecutlvo jcars of golf this
showing Is the best ever made In American
play. In 1912, 1913 and 1914, through
amateur championships, Travers, out of fif
teen matches, won fourteen mid lost one.
adding the open championship to his list
nfter ha was beuten by Oulmet. Ills record
was fifteen victories out of sixteen starts,
an average well above .900 for the four
campaigns.
The Veteran's Sliowinu
The only span of consistency to compare
win) tins was estaoiianeu uy waiter J,
Travis from 1900 Mirourti 1904.
The yeteran had a note in 1902, when
Louis James won the amateur, but his
general average was remarkably high, as
the dates and results show;
1900 Amateur championship.
1901 Amateur championship.
1903 Amateur championship.
1904 UrltUh nmateur championship.
Viewing this record with that of Travers
shown above. It Is no wonder that the
namaa of Travis and Travers are planted
so high In American golf. .
They have bten far and away the two
most consistent amateurs the game over
here lias ever known, when thegeneral
average of their play is figured In.

All of which Is sillllclent explanation for
tho lack of "big leaguo" stars on Mils
All-Kastcrii selection. There are so many
minor college stars, however, that It Is
dllllcult to get nil of them In Hoe. How
cter. tho llrst nnd second tennis havo been
picked from personal observation, which
is a perfectly good alibi. You may tines

Hcrron and Moseley Kndst
Kor ends Herron. of the I'nltcrslty of
Pittsburgh, and Moseley, of Yale, havo dono
the best work of tho year Hcrron. in par
ticular, has been tbo star in every game ho
has played He Is fast. Knows footballj
diagnoses the plays quickly, afstiro tackier,
catches tho forward pass well In fact, Is a
llnlshed player. Walter Camp, who wit
nessed the Pitt-Syracuse game, said nftcr
tviirtl that Ilerrnn's play was the feature
(Itorgo Moseley, of Yale, also was it bright
shining light Ho outplayed all of his op
ponents, both on tlio offense and defense;
was a wonderful open-Held tackier, caught
forward passes llko a big leaguo ball player,
and few jards wero gained through him
Ho used his head all of tho time, as was
shown In tbo Princeton game, when ho
picked up tho ball on the klckoff, uftcr
the Tigers allowed It to roll around
Miller Does Well
Heinle Miller, of Penn. also did well, nnd
desertcs a placo on the second elctcn. Ills
nggresslieness and all-round play made
him a valuable man to the team. Hob Hlg
gins, of Penn Htute, Camp's selection two
j ears ago, Is Miller's; running mnte Other
good ends wero Comerford, of Ynlo: Ilarto,
of Harvard; Hutchinson, of West Virginia
l'nlverslty ; Dussosolt, of Dartmouth, and
Harold Smith, of Swarthmoro.
Lew Little, of Pennsylvania, Is the best
tackle of tho year. Do plays low and hard,
always gets the charge on his opponent nnd
has stopped most of the plays directed at
lilm Ho was a power in tho Penn line, as
he tackled well and often broke through
the line nnd hurried tho opposing backs.
West, of Colgate, one of the trfost versatile
players In the, game, gets the other post
Hon. He, too, has outplayed his opponents,
especially against Yale and Drown. West
does the punting und Is no excellent place
kicker. l
Gates Looks Good
Gates, of Yale, recovered u fumble In the
Harvard game nnd placed the ball In post
Hon for n touchdown, but that Is not the
only thing that gets him a place on the
second eleven lie played consistently
throughout the season, and next year should
be one nt tho stars Henry, of Washington
and Jefferson, Is his running mate. This
youth has surprised the eastern critics this
tear and, like Dates, should Improve quite
a little next year. Kudlcott. of Hwurth
more; Nell Mathews, of l'enn; Caner and
Wheler, of Harvard; Ualdrldge, of Yale;
Thornhlll, of Pitt, and Wardr of the Navy,
deserve special mention. Mathews was un
fortunate In being injured in several of the
games.
It Is nn easy matter to select the guards.
Cupid lllack, of Yale, and Charlie Ken
ning, of Pennsylvania, stand out promi
nently. lllucK piayeu wonueriuuy- against
Princeton and Harvard, not only In break
ing uTJTplaya, but leading Ids team as vrelL
He was the most conspicuous figure tn
these battles and a recognized star,
Hennlng was taken down with appendi
citis early tn the season nnd did not get
back Into the game until October 23, against
Pitt. He forgot all about the operation that
had been performed on him and went Into
tho game on his nerve. He played a great
game and has kept It up In the other con
tests. His work really Is the feature or the
year, Seldel, of Pitt ; Nourse, of Princeton ;
Dadmun, of Harvard; White and Schlacti
ter, of Syracuse; Barton, of Colgate, and
Mehor, of Michigan, also played weL
Two Strong Centers
There Is likely to be some dispute over
the center position, us both Peck, of Pitts
burgh, and ilcEwen, of the Array, are two
of the best players In the country. Peck,
however, deserves the place, to my way of
thinking. He plays well on thj offense and
defense, opens up holes In the Hoe for his
backs to slide through and Is a sure tackier.
In many of the games Peck was Pitt's only
