There also wcro some eoocI players uncovered, utid In tho majority of cases thoy comparo favorably with tho stuiH of previous years. It wasn't the fault of tho players thai football did not draw Mr crowds' In 1918. Tho youthful athletes put everything they had hi tho games and always did tholr best. Tho burnt, however, suffered llrst through tho vague, and Incoherent orders Issued by tho S. A.

T. C. officials, which delayed tho opening; afterward when tho best athletes weio sent to officers' training; and last, but not least, tho Influenza epidemic, which halted everything; until tho second eelc In November. In all wo hud less than ono month of football, but some great games were played In that short space of time. Pittsburgh had tho hardest schedule, meeting "Washington and Jefferson, tho University of Pennsylvania, Georgia Tech and State College in order, and winning tho games by large scores.

Only once was Warner's great eleven scored upon, and that was on Thanksgiving Day, when State shoved over a touchdown In the i first period. Tho defeat of Pitt by tho Clovcland Reserves has no bearing on tho collegiate standing of Pittsburgh. It was a post-season game with a surprisingly strong hervice eleven. Hutgeis wuj? a big disappointment, losing to Great Jjakcs and Syta-cuse. Early in the season Sanford's team had etery appearance of bunch of world beaters, but tho attack was not 'ersatlle enough to cope with other elevens.

Syracuse had a strong team which ranked second to Pitt, with Georgia Tech, Rutgers, Annapolis, Penn, Swarthmore, Pcnn State, Washington nnd Jefferson, Brown, Dartmouth, Lehigh, Lafayette, Columbia, Fordham, Muhlenberg and tho others lost in tho shuttle. It's hard to Etvo the teams a ranking, but Pitt had tho class this year and easily wins--tho championship whatever that is. QTRAOVBV and Georgia Tech were weaker than the Panthers, but played good football and should share the other honors. t- No Apology for Lack of Talent iin outinwiiMu nn ivu-juiieiicau 4. nlii.lAf.l.A fn tlin linl.

Tho following elevens bring out what I believe tho 'best players In this section of tho country, and the selections were ntado after personal Here are the first and second teams: FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM Robeson, Rutgers left end Hopper, I'cnn Henry, Wash. -Jeff.

Davies, Pittsburgh right halfback Gougler, Pitt McLaren, Pittsburgh fullback. Steketee, Michigan Robeson and Finchcr ate two of tho best ends the game has produced in years.

They are big, powerful men, know football from every angle and always give a good account of themselves. Tho giant Rutgers athlete is a team inhlmself. Ho plays every position on tho lino when his team Is on the attack, shifting to guard, tackle and end on different formations. On the defense he is behind the line of scrimmage, stops line plunges and tackles on end runs, and Is a good man at breaking up forward passes, ne also runs well with the ball, being a difficult man to tackle. Fincher, of Georgia Tech, played a wonderful game against Pitt and the first man to break up, Warner's end runs.

He was In every play and not an inch was gained around him. He was down tho field on every punt, tackled well and covered lots is an all around man. He is one of the country, forward passes well and tackle. UD HOPPER, of Pcnn, did should he a star in another played a consistent game and makoWpn Ideal running mate for Hopper on the second eleven. Othcmood ends arc Staton, of Georgia Tech; llcCarler, of Pitt; Dunne, of Michigan; Schwarzer, of Syracuse, and C.

Brown, of Pcnn State, and arc worthy of special tiicntfon. Henry Proved Best Tackle of Year ALTHOUGH Washington and" Jefferson played but two games and lost both, Captain Henry proved ho was the best tacklo of tho year. Ho had a good try-out in the Pitt game and acquitted himself nobly. He was through tho lino on almost every play and made many tackles before the backs got started. Larkin, of played, a consistent game all year and deserves the other position.

This boy is fast, a good tackier and was good at opening holes for his backs to slido through. Usher, of Syracuse; Hilty and Mervls, of Pitt; Jim Neylon, of Penn, and Henry, of Penn State, were other high-class tackles. It is not difficult to select the guards, for two men stood out among the others. Alexander, of Syracuse, was tho best lineman of tho year, and was pushed closely by Perry, of tho Navy. Alexander was tho defensive strength of Syracuse.

Playing a sort of roving center, ho backed up the lineand made more tackles than any other man on his team. If a play went wide he nosed It out and brought tho runner to earth. If it turned in, he was on the runner like a flash. He also knew how to knock down forward passes and few fell safely in his territory. Perry, of tho Navy, was conspicuous in the Great Lakes game and irnoro than held his own.

Ho makes Jake Stahli of Pitt, and lMeuscnaeier, or ltuigers, get places on ino bccona team, but V. Allshouse, of Fltt; Frank, of Pcnn, and Hattcn, of Lehigh, also played well. THERE wasn't a really good center this year, hut Sterck, of Washington and Jefferson, appeared to he the best of the lot. Jllx work in the Pitt game was enough to give him first place. Arthur, of the Navy, and Kendrick, of Pitt, did excellent work.

Three Pitt Men in'Backfield ACKLEY, of Syracuse, was tho best quarterback. This young man was 'a great field general, knew how to handlo punts and Instilled a righting spirit In his team like Vincent Stevenson, of Penn. Ho starred in-every game and outclasses the field. Ingram, of tho Navy, played well considering his. condition, and Gougler, of Pitt; Dowd, of Lehigh; Starr, of Rut gers, and Robb, ot Columbia, also rank lilgn.

Tho remainder of tho backfleld. is composed entirely of Pittsburgh men. It would be difficult to select threo hotter players than McLaren, Easter-, day and Davles. McLaren ends his college career with an enviable record, having been jfe 1 chosen AH-Amerlcan fullback every year ha his played. He started in -J t.

McLaren developed into ono of tho groat. est' defensive backs of all time, and A "I made him a valuable man for any teanv If" Easterday never has been given bfen playing with stars. Up to this year ue Mart ana Hastings grabbed all of the glory, but he always played a steady game, which often was brilliant.

Davles Is a freshman, but that ahou'd not be held aganst him. He In the greatest open-field runner of tho year and always" plays a 'good defensive game. If he improves as he should under Warner's coaching the fans soon will forget about Ted Coy, Charley Barrett and Eddie Mahan. Flowers, of Georgia Tech, has tho makings of a wonderful player, as he is one of the speediest men I ever have seen on a football field.

Out of tho Chios lu which tennis was thrown by the events ot tho last two yenrs arose a knowledgo that the luture of tho game depended on the young players This was tnlk9d of years before, but little was dono in Philadelphia until 191C, when the first match with New York was planned tor tho early seaion of 1917, and tho first Junior tournament of real Importance was held This cv.ent was then the Philadelphia clay court championship.

In 1917 this title was changed to the 1'cnnsyUaiila State Junior championship belicdiiln Collapsed During 1917 no Us than tight Junior events wete held at six different clubs A schedule of ten Junior tournaments was ai ranged for 1918 and tho llrst tournament played at Germantown C. was a great success. Philadelphia defeated New York two out of three matchiB In June, thus proving the value of tho courso of instruction given tho boyB In the past. Suddenly, without the slightest reason, the whole schedule collapsed and tho remainder of tho year was a complete failure. I have no desire to accuse nor criticize only to point out that a serious injury has been done tho tennis situation tn Philadelphia by the dropping of the Junior worlc Just when It bore real fruit.

While away I received many letters from the boys who had counted on play. Ing theso events, asking mo why the schedule was not carried out Indl-ldually tho boys were all keen to play, but they were not keen enough as a group to go to the Philadelphia Tennis Abioclation and request that the schedule be put through bcaon a Failure That la ono reason that the scabon failed. Tho officials of the association aio busy men, but It Is unfortunate that the great opportunity of the tennis IiIb-tory of Philadelphia was allowed to lapse from just a want of supenlslon.
