MAXWKLL Sports lMltur I'i-nliiK I.nlKi-r It. V. MAXWKI.I. DlJSlMTi: the war and the withdrawal of Yale, Harvard and I'rluceton, footb.iil wnjoyed a prosperous season this year. The big games attracted juit as mucli intercut as In the jiast, the crowds were just ns huge anil the teams played Just as well as In for mer years. I'p In New Englaiid it Ih tiuo that thu gridiron sport lost some of Its kick when the former "big three" dropped out, but In New York, liilliidel phla, Pittsburgh and other Kasteru anil Southern cities, intereft in the game did not lag.' The football m a p morel y shitted further South and It will be some time define it rhanges. Tho best football city Is Pitti-burgh ami this probably is due to tlu ehamplonshlp eleven coached by (ilenn Warner. Phila delphia also is good anil the smaller towns turned out well for the contests. In all, the game has not suffered and there were Just as many stars as last year, when New Haven, liostou and Piinreton occupied the spotlight. .Many of the best football men went away to war before the season opened, but other stars cropped up, men too. young for the draft or those in the medical or engineer ing schools who were exempted from serv ice. In selecting in all-Eastern team for 1!'17. I make no apologies, but judge tho men according to their ability and value to their teams, None of the western elevens Is Included, because I have not seen them In action, and this also Is tho reason rjenfgla Tech and other southern teams are passed up. Ceorgla has many good players, but It lias been impossible to get first hand Information regarding their true caliber. The Ends and TTlOrt ends, Tressell, of Washington JL' Jefferson, and Heinle Miller, of Penn, stand out from the others. Tiessell Is one of the best men I eer have seen at catch ing the forward pass. Ho gets the ball from all angle and gtabs It with one hand as well as with two. No pass Is too dilll cult for him to handle and his work has saved his team on many occasions. Run ning down under punts he Is easily tho best In the East. He never overruns his man and his tackles always are low and sure. In three dig games he never missed his man. He also plays a strong defensive game, Is seldom taken out of the way and few plays gain ground around him. Heinle Miller, captain of Penn, got off to a bad start, dut soon regained his stride. Early In the season Miller was weighted down with the responsibility of delng cap tain and his play was affected. He took his Jod too seriously, tried to play every position In the line, and as a result found himself pushed out of the way dy Inferior opponents. Heinle came Into his own hi the Dartmouth game and repeated against Michigan, two of the hardest games on the Ited and Illue schedule. His work featured those contests and earned him a place on the first tfeam. Miller Is strong offensively and on the defense, plays hard all of the time and Is constantly on the Jump. He tackles well and Is a good receiver of the forward pass. . Robson, the 200-pound flash from Rut gers, and Carlson, of Pitt, also are first class players and are given places on the second eleven, aillesple, of Hwarthmore; Carrol, of W, and J., and Von Helmbelrg, of the Navy, also are good ends and de serve special mention. jraverfce ha ju Hwy.. ,. jt- -.,... .-.., The Tackles Henry, of Washington and Jefferson, Is the best tackle of the year. This young man weighs 230 pounds. Is as fast as a backfleld man and plays well on both the attack and defense. Ha Is down the field under punts with his ends. Is a low, hard tackier and covers lots of ground In the line. 'He is the only, football player I ever have seen who seems to be playing for 'the sheer Jove of the game. Ills face al ways Wear a smile, and no matter how ra Hi going: i no in uo ine joij 10 tnecr .klii complo.,,. His .'Milrlt and ally iBnvm lev .ami, Mn. itmw C, wvptaia f ftatekM.seta.thi 1' m&j back Into the game. hiieer, his play In the llrown and Colgate games attracted quite u little notice and his work was a revelation to all. Cobb Is described as a regular "bearcat." He never lets up and Is flghtlriK hauler at the llnnl whistle than at the stall. Murphy, tlio Dartmouth freshman, also played a good game this year. He covered lots of ground, was a tower of strength on the defense and usually could be depended upon to open holes for his backs. With another j ear's experience ho should be a wonder. Seidel. of Pitt, Is not a showy player, but always Is playing hard and performing his duties in a satisfactory manner. He fits In wlih the Warner style of play and Is one of the malnbtays of the line. He gets the other place on the second team. Maynard, of penn, despite Ills lack of weight, showed up well and carried out Doctor Wharton's teachings to the letter. Stein, of Washington and Jefferson, nnd Herrick, of West Virginia, deserve special mention. The (ittunk THE hardest position on a football team Is guard. Here a player can lemalii all of his life and never attract even passing attention, although he Is playing his head off every minute of tho time. The guard usually is lost in tho shuttle. He does all of the hard work, sucli as opening boles for the hacks to sliilo through and stop ping line plunges trleil by the enemy. All he has to do Is work, and tho other men get the glory. For the last three years 1 liivp watched Joel; Sutherland, of Pitt, and thin year he looks like one of the best guards that evil- played the game. His work Is done, without a brass band accompaniment or nn obtigatn of fireworks. He seldom Is noticed, but just the same he Is in there dattllng away from start to finish, never yielding an Inch nnd making the other fellow break ground. He gets Into tho Interference on plays around the other end and knows how to uimot tacklers. His all round play entities him to first choice. t'p at Dartmouth there Is a young man who lost one of his arms early In life, but refused to allow the accident to Interfere with his athletic career. He started to play football and this year proved to be one of tho star guaids. 1 1 In name is Neely and he should be commended for his work, lie Is all over the field, catches forward passes with one hand and runs well through a broken Held. Ho makes an Ideal running mate for Sutherland. Czarnekle, of Penn State, was handi capped by playing on a weak team, but his work flood out In all of the games. He Is a hard, steady, consistent player and ranks closo to the men on the llrst team. Wlm berly, of Washington and Jefferson, also plitjs a steady game, and Is selected Uc Czamekle's running mate. The Center WHH.K Bob Peck was playing with I'ittsburgh It was an easy matter to select an nll-ICasteru center. He was so good that the others suffered In compari son and at the end was the unanimous choice. This year, however, there are many bids for tho honor, dut Bailey, of West Vlrglnlu, seems to eclipse the Held. Ho Is only twenty years old, weighs 170 pounds and is good both on defense and offense. He Is an Ideal man to back up a lne and his tackling cannot be Improved upon. Three fourths of tho plays sent at tho line are stopped by Halley, and the short forward passes over the center usually are spoiled by him. In addition to'that, ho passes the ball well, never gets excited. and Is an ex cellent leader. . 'Iftik I asked Ulenn Warner wliu(ie consid ered the best center of the ycaflfc "Bailey, of West Virginia," he replied. W'ln tho other games, the only time I noticed the center was In the line-up whenI read the names. In the West Virginia game, how over, Bailey played all oyer tho Held, and I knew who ho was before tho game was five minutes old." Alex Wray..of Penn, was taken In hand by Doctor Wharton and taught the liner points of the game early In the season, and at the end turned out to be a capable play er. He Is speedy, a good tackier .and one of the best playerB on the Penn line, Rob ertson, of Syracuse, was Injured early In the season, but played a good game. FItts. a freshman at. Hwarthmore, and Monte Kmmal. a yearling at I-afayette, also played wel and' will bear watching In the future.

Poor generalship ut critical times has turned the tide, and a good team de feated in the last minutes of play. A good field general, a man who knows football, Is 11 great asset on a teuin, and those two points characterized the piny of Boynton, of Williams, this year. Williams went through thi' seuFon without a defeat, tri umphing over Cornell and Amherst. Uoyn ton'n work always was the feature, for he not only could select the proper plays, but run with the ball as well. Ho was tesponslble to 11 large degree for Williams's success, and easily Is tho best quarterback of tho year. Bert Bell, of Pennsylvania, Is close on his heels. Bell Is a heady player, a good field general and knows just what his men can do In 11 pinch. He not only gives the signals, tiut also tells the mm with the ball to run close or make a wide turn, ac cording to the position of the opposing ends. He never overlooks a bet, and plays his backfleld men to tho limit. Ingraham.of tho Navy ; Wray, of Penn State ; Weston, of Michigan, and Westcott, of Swarthmore, also are star players. The Halfbacks II A MAN like llarley, of Ohio Stale, Is an asset to any team." a western man told me the other day, but if there were three Hurleys in the backfleld, the team would do weakened and forced to play under a terrible handicap." This sounded strange to me. so I asked him to explain. "llarley," he said, "Is a brilliant offen sho player. He runs well with tho ball, can get around any end, uses the stiff aim', can kick goals from the field and from a spectators' viewpoint Is tho greatest player the world ban ever seen. But that lets him out. He does not help the other backfleld men when they carry the ball, Is a poor Interferer, does not tackle well and Is a weak sister on the defense. With throe men like that In the backfleld, no gains would do made." This sounds like pretty good logic and in a largo measure, ipilto true. It brings out a point which seldom Ih thought of by tho luuuwii inns. ior wunout proper Inter ference, Urn best man in the. u-nri,i ,-.,..... get away for brilliant runs. Haiiey, how ever. Is not considered In these selections because I never have seen him play and anvway, he belongs to the West. Tho best halfback of tho year, to my mind, Is Hobey Light, of the Pnlverslty of Pennsylvania. Light Is a plodding, hard working" player who seldom shines but al ways can do found at the bottom of the heap wita his arms entwined around tho man with the ball. Defensively, ho la a won der. Jn every game he plays himself out and never has left the Held without a mass of bruises. Ho never gets Into practice until the following Wednesday, ns ho spends Monday and Tuesday In the hospltil getting patched up. It wan his Interference that made Berry's long runs posslhle nnd ho also figured In tho excellent work of Straus. Without Light on tho team the backfleld Is almost powerless. Ho Is the keystone of Penn's attack and defense and gets the first choice. OUphant. of tho Army, Is the other half hack, Ho Is shifted from his regular posl Hon of fullhack because of his versatility and speed. He Is tho best man In tho Kast at circling tho end and plunging through the line and makes an Ideal running mate for Light. He also can do the punting and drop kicking. With Hobey to take a few tacklers out of tho way, OUphant would have an easy tlmo of Jt. Alllo Cornog, Swarthmore's brilliant back, was tho lead ing scorer 011 his team and is given a plnce on the second team with Rodgers, of West Virginia. Herrlngton, of Lehigh, did not have a chance to show his class tills year, but played well In all of tho games, Roberts, of the Navy; Lentz, of West Vir ginia, and W, MeOlnnls, of Lehigh, also are deserving of mention. The Fullback GEORGE McLAnKN, of Plttsbuigh, is the best fullback of the year because he Is SO per cent of Pitt's attack and Just as valuable on the defense. It was mainly through his brilliant playing that Warner's teim was able to go through another sea son without defeat, for he always could be depended "Upon for an extra yard on fourth down and his line bucking Is the. best seen on any field since Frank Slaker played on Chicago 'almost twenty years ago, I watched McLiren, carefully In all .of the Wf games thU year, and dlaoovere that State, bo bore tho brunt of tho work and proved his value at all times. Ho should b" tho unanimous choice of the experts this year. Howard Berry, of Perm, also Is a won derful player, but his Inconsistency Is against him. One day ho will play llko a whirlwind nnd tho next tlmo out his work will look like that of a novice. He has his good and bad days and when ho Is good, there Is no 0110 in the country who can toucli him. Against Dartmouth ho had an ort day and did not shliv. The next Saturday, against Michigan, however, hn booted three goals from the field, mado many sensational runs, punted well and virtually won tho game for the Red and Blue. It seems a shame to put him on the second team, but his Inconsistent play 'Jlu'V01 ma,ie Illm valuable as Light, OUphant or McLaren. There Is another star who will ome to tho front next year It bo continues to pliy the game. Wysockl, of Lehigh, showed up well tliis season, but never had a chance to provo his true worth. He has a change of pace while running with tho hall that deceives the tacklers and as a result gets away with many long runs. He slaws up when about to be tackled and then suddenly dashes to one side, getting clear before the opponent knows what has happened. McCrolKht, of W. nnd J., and Armstrong, of Brown, played well this season. Notes of the Bowlers rV: BBS: wMSJ",'?!' frrMny morning' ire.

Ily PAUL PREP TIII2 All-Catholic school football team has been selected from tho members of the four Catholic schools In this vicinity La Salle College, St. Joseph's College, Cath olic High School nnd Vlllanova Prcij, There was no league between tho schools and all did not meet this season on the gridiron, and as a result tho team Is selected on the basis of the playing of the men throughout tho entire season. Five La Salle, four Catholic High, one Vlllanova and one St. Joseph player make up the team. The La Sallo team, whldh wai coached by Jack Kcogh, the former t'nlver slty of Pennsylvania football star and pres ent ofllclal, is tho only scholastic team In this city which wetn through tho last sea son without lecelxing a defeat, defeating such teams ns Tome School, Wcnonah Mili tary Academy. Media High, Vlneland High, ' 1'. I, D. nnd St. Joseph's College Vlllanova Prep defeated St. Joseph's nnd Catholic High, but as It did not need 1 .11 Sallo there Is no way In which cither team' can claim tho Catholic school dhamplonshlp except on the basis of comparative Fcores. All the schools were hard hit by the lois of stars through graduations and enlist ments In some branch of tho country's bervlce. Capable men, nevertheless, were found to fill these vacancies, nnd the strength of tho teams did not suffer ns much as was expected at tho beginning c.f the season. It was feared for a time that Ft. Joseph would be unablo to placo u team on the Held, but after several week It was decided that Instead of the usual college team 11 high school eleven should, de organized. Tho same conditions pre vailed, although not as serious, at La Salle, and as a result all dut one member t-f tho team was from tho high school department. Kor the end positions, Wclgand, of Vllla-i nova, nnd Larkln, of La Salle, receive tho selection. They are both adept In receiv ing the forwnrd pass, speedy In getting down the field after punts nnd sure tacklers, Jim Moran, of La Salic, nnd Dcvlne, of St. Joseph's, nre other ends ndovo the average. Northrop, of Catholic High, and Cos carelll, of La Salle, aro easily 'tho best of tackles in the four schools, nnd fully de serve to receive 'a plnco on tho mythical eleven. Xorthrop was the main cog In the wonderful playing of the Catholic Hlgli School line. Northrop was llko a stone wall on the defenso and few gains wero made through his side of tho line. Cos. carelli was not fnr behind his Catholic High rival, and opened large holes for Downey and Slmendlnger to wado through. The guard positions would be well taken care of by Macflulre. of La Salle, and Cal lahan, of Catholic High. It Is difficult to say which Is the better. Opposing backs found It haul to make nny ndvances through the honored men. Waters, of St. Joseph's Is another guard who made a name for himself In tho games played by his team. Two pivot men, Worthlngton4 of Catholln High, and Bolge, of La Sallo, stand head nnd shoulders above tho other center men. Worthlngton showed to good advantage In the Important games In which ho played., Bolger Is suro to bo heard from In a few years as a collegiate star. This line would bo one of the strongest In tho city nnd would combine the elements of defensive and offensive strength to mako It compare favorably with any college fresh--man line In the country Dougherty, of St. Joseph, Is the out. standing tiuarterback of the year and lands tho Job to pilot the mythical team with ease. Playing behind a weak and light team, Dougherty's great work places him on a par with Snngree, of Penn Charter, nnd Reeves, of Northeast High. Captain Frlel, of Catholic High, was also a flrst-claFS. pilot, dut. his Inexperience gives Dougherty the call, l-'rle. is to de praised for Ms credit able work In tho Central High nnd Oer mantown High games. With tho mention of Captain "Cy" Slmendlnger, of La Sallo College, half of the halfback uuebtlon Is settled. "Cy" camo Into his own this season more so than over before, and It was mainly through his Indi vidual playing that Jack Keogh's proteges mado such a wonderful record on the grid, iron. Ho Is one of the greatest nll-around players Philadelphia has ever produced, and with another yenr at La Salle should bo ready to Jump Into college ripe for a varsity -position. In tho five games which "Cy'1 played he scored a'.l his team's points, 00 In number. The other half Is more or less a toss up between Connelly and Smith, of the Catholic High; Mason, of La Salle; Dugau. of St. Joseph, and Collins and Blanchtleld, of Vlllanova Prep. Connelly receives the choice over tho other duo to his consistent playing throughout tho Hearon, Two first-class fulbacks wero brought to light during tho last year, Downey, of La Salle, and Muter, of Catholic High. Downey was not a flashy player, but when n few yards were needed ho generally camo through. Tho La Salle fulback's show ing was partly overshadowed by tho sensa tional playing of Captain Slmendlnger, it Is Impossible to tell which team Is the stronger, the Interacademlc, Inter scholastic or All-Catholic. Tho All-Catholic team Is composed of older and more seasoned players than the Interacademlc eleven and the latter would hardly prove, capable of standing tho fierce onslaughts of Slmendlnger nnd the other backs.
