Tully a Great End of was everything that a high class modern end should be. This among other things Includes expert facility in receiving the forward pass. Tully certainly was gifted In this. Of all the ends In the country he was the leading touchdown scorer.

He was fast downfield, a deadly tackier and heady and enduring. Edwards Strong Edwards, of Michigan, was very often hurt even so he is entitled to rank as one of the great tacklers of the past decade. He was not only unerring, strong and lancing on defense while on offense he not only gave protection to his forward passer and provided Interference on running attack but himself was very valuable in carrying the ball on tackle around plays. No Better Guard Hess, of Ohio State, throughout the season was a very bulwark to a gritty, herd fighting eleven which played practically all Its games with valuable players crippled on the sidelines. Hess was a rock on defense and on attack was one of the prime factor in interference.

He was fast, as a modern guard should be and with his speed combined great power and a thorough knowledge of football. A Super Center McMillan, of Princeton, was a superfine center, perhaps the best the writer has ever seen. Not only inspiring leader, he was a deadly rover on defense, never missed and a sure tackier. On both attack and defense he was all over the field, always a powerful menace to the opposition. He was as deadly a foe to sweeps and forward passes as he was to line bucks.

When this has been said bout a pivot man nothing remains to be said. Colorful Guard Carey, of California, was the lashing, interfering type of guard that the modern guard must be If he Is to scope all the possibilities of this position. General opinion on PaclflJ Coast Is that he Is the greatest guard ever developed In that section. Certainly, It may be said from the standpoint of personal observation that his play was characterlted In high degree hv finesse and power. Weir Played Against Two Weir, ot Nebraska, was a tackle so formidable that in alt games two men and in certain plays more than two men, were pitted against Mm.

No tackle was ever called upon to meet greater odds than Weir week a'ter week end in the fact that he emerged undaunted, bead vp and always the genius and mainstay of the Corn busker line may be found adequate testimony to his great new. He la natural tackle It there ever was one, In temperament Ideal, In physique impress We, In speed and power Inspiring. Aa All Time End Oosterbaan, of Michigan, was one of the rreat ends that the aame haa produced. He had five Isnea of action In receiving forward passa and In all he was a perpetual terror to whatever opposition. Swift aa a deer aa DECEMBER IZ, 1W5.

13 Ok. WALTER CAMP'S SUCCESSOR MAKES ALL AMERICAN SELECTION; TRAVELS MANY MILES SATURDAY EVENING AN ALL STAR TEAM THAT HAS NO EQUAL Lawrence Perry's Eleven Made Up of Players Seen in Action by Writer; Travels May Miles By JjAWREXCE PERRY Special Correspondent of Harrisburg Telegraph. Copyright. Of the All American Football Eleven of 1925 one thing may be said at the outset: The team is composed not only of those who, in the writer's opinion exemplified the most expert all around proficiency in their positions, but assembled In a playing combination, would bid fair to defeat any eleven that could be organized to meet it. It is submitted without reservation as one of the strongest hypothetical outfits of all time, chiefly because if its amazing backfield strength and the power and versatility in the line.

The team is formed on the basis of the writer's personal observation during a tour in the football season of more than fifteen thousand miles. Every section of the country, except the southwest, was visited and twenty six of the leading teams were seen either in games or hard scrimmage practice. Due acknowledgment must also be made of advice and information 'tendered by the following coaches in various sections of the a bull moose, keen In his diagnosis of plays, the picture of this end In action abides among the vivid memories of a thrilling season. Grange, That's All Of Grange, of Illinois, so much has been said that the highest compliment that can be paid him is simply to mention his name and let it go at that. The Coast's Best Back Wilson, of Washington, is a 190 pounder who combines the epeed of a sprinter witblhe sheer physical power of a heavyweight wrestler.

Gifted in all branches of football offen3e he backed up the line on defense in a manner that not only checked the onrushlng players but made them willing to yield. Wilson by all odds was the outstanding back on the west coast and ranks with the best in what ever section Had Everything Oberlander of Dartmouth, is one of the best backs that ever played football. If one comes right down to actual accomplishments on the football field this player must be reguarded as a better all around back than Grange. His long dis tance accuracy, in throwing the forward pass amounted to sheer genius, but in carrying the ball ana on defense he rates with the very best. Deserves the Place Flournoy, of Tulane, who the writer takes the liberty of placing at fullback, was the leading scorer of the country.

In all he made 128 points for his eleven. He had the keenest sort of an eye for openings in the line and he came into them like a bullet. In the open field he was as elusive as a ghost; In brief one of those in spiring Tacks who bring spectators to their feet every time they get the ball. As a punter Flournoy was unequalled throughout the country. His average for the season was fifty yards a game.

It is doubtful if there ever was a punter who over matched this New Orleans boy. Of this player Herman J. Stegeman, athletic director of the University of Georgia and former Chicago player writes as follows: "I have seen few backs in recent years who possess the qualifications that this manhas for an all star team. He is the best punter I have seen in ten years. He is a great field goal man.

He Is a hard man to down in the open and in the severest game of his schedule ran sixty five yards from scrimmage formation. Defensively he is on a par with any back in this section. He is the only player in the south to receive unanimous selection for a position of some thirty five coaches." Second Team Of the second team it may be said that there is not a player named as a member who is not qualified to replace the man on the All American who occupies his position. Every man Is in the first rank and the margin between them and the All Americans Is slight Indeed. A Bright Star Hubert, of Alabama, deserves special mention as a quarterback, the position he has played for the last two years.

Defensively, however, he plays the fullback position. His work as a director of team play has been faultless and he has had a great Influence upon his team mates in pointing out their offensive and defensive faults. His presence upon the field really amounts to that ot an experienced coach. He passes well, carries the ball well on plunges and is a fine Interferer. Star Lineman Erickson, of Washington, la a giant in build and In strength and ranka with Carey as the best linesman the west coast developed this year.

Nevers Great Back So with Nevera, of Stanford. Many critics place him alongside, If not ahead, ot Wilson and Tes reau. He Is one of the great backs ot the country without any question. Full of Good Backs The complication In any back field selections is that no aeason haa seen so many players entitled to first class ranking. Kelley, of Montana, Is one ot them.

Had he played on a bigger team he would probably be a nationally known figure by thU time. At any rate he must be rated high. Molenda, of Michigan, may certainly be ao rated, a great bulllike plunger, fast and Indomitable. Gilbert, of the aame team, flashed Into the public eye In latter games and it he keepa on will rank with the best. Kutsch.
