Show I WITH AUERICAII I ! FOOTBALL STARS j New Game Has Come to Stay: 1 Better Than Line-Bucking jj Contests. Hi ! OUTSIDE KICK WINNER i AT THE RIGHT TIME I Several Phenomenal Players Have Developed During the ! Past Season. Tribune Special Sporting Service. J NEW YORK, Deo. 5. "Bill"' Ed j wards, ih; famous, football umpire, i says: The new football has come to stey, and in its further development ; next season it is not difficult to nntici- ; pate a much more finished gamo than has been seen this year. Never in the Hj j history of football bus thore been such j u wideawake season as that now draw- j ing to a successful close. Tbo now '; amo has developed more of tie de-fonsivo de-fonsivo than offensive play, although it may not be said to have lost any of its popularity on that account. Old j playera aro slow to accept tho new ; ftariie, but in my mind it is far superior to the gruelling line-bucking contests I of former years. 1 ! The development of tho now game has not shown the advance that would fl ordinarily be expected. Princeton, in j the first half of the game with Yale, pave a fine exhibition of tho now gamo, but hard plunging: plays with Coy as T the leader mowed tne Tigers down to L , defeat. The outside kick used by Princoton this year has been a ffrcat HH , improvement over the same play of HH ( last season when Harlan worked it i against Yalo. HH i The year has singularly been one of HH . misforLunes for varsity captains. Burr of Harvard, Dillon of Princeton and 1 Burch of Yale were all unable to do I the necessary amount of work owing to in.iuries. This had somo effect in a Hl great measure on results, for there wcr9 times when several of the teams were handicapped in this respect. Harvard's Star, j Cutler of Harvard was one of tho i players who showed great headwork, and ho has played a consistent- gamo throughout tho whole season. Ycr j Wiebe, Kennard and White wero en- HB I titled to great credit for thoir good HB w.ork. They wero responsible for many HHV i of tho gains made in the game with HB I Yale. Noursc. at center, was also a HHa I man in whom great reliance could safe- HHjj ly be placed. Fish was a tower of HHV strength in the Crimson line, and is HHV j one of tho best tackles Harvard has HHW cad in years.. HHY Andrus. the Yale guard, has- shown HHjj ' by h)R wor.k that he is ono of the best HHV 1 or the season in that very important HHV position. II o has experience, and while HHV -njuries prevented his continued ap- HHV pearance in tho lineup, he has had op- HHjj 1 portunity to show that he is a fast HH !if chanrgor and a mighty difficult man to H ),i get out of the way. His defensive HHK j ' work rank3' very high, vi Brides of Yale is one of the best ' men on the Yale team. Ho is one of Hi t the most versatile football' players in HB the country. He was a t'owcr of HHn ) strength in defense Coy lived up to his reputation. One HH t seldom sees a more earnest player. HH 1 Philoon and Pullen and tho backs H seem to bo the stars of the Army clcv- H j on. In the contest with Princeton the HH-West Pointers pyed a verv consistent HHJ J same -and kept the Tigers from scoring. J ) The line . men are very strong. aDd charge low and hard. The back field I la fast. PHj jf Singluff, center; Tteifsnider and J J ISorthcroft, cantain and left tackle, of 5 the Navy team, are playei-s of great V ,1 ability, and all of them have done ,b. their share toward making the team ,, what it is today. Siegling. Princeton's ,new captain, y-'ss perhaps the best and most con- K, t sistent player of the cloven. He was Jp 1 played aenmst many strong tackles this j year, amonc them Horr of Syracuse . V and in his games he did his work with j great credit to himself and the varsity. , There is no doubt that when tho lists I are made up Siecling will rcceivo the 'j well-dofeervcd honor of a place as fj tackle on the .All-Americnn team. ii Tribhott, Princeton's star halfljack, f is without doubt one of, if not the vorv tc best, halfbacks of the year. He had U a very clevor faculty of taking his '! openings qu'Vklv. and was a hard man 'j to down. racFaydon is a wonder at - center, considering the fact that he had jfj plaved the position for only two weeks. and another year in this position should U give him n chance for the All-American 'j center. Waller and Booth wero espe- l dally strong men in the Princeton j i Pennsylvania is fortunate in having $1 at her command two good Quarterbacks HJi ""ho thorouchly understand tho gamo (j and nro not lackine in practical expo- A rlenco in their positions. Scarlett. Dra- fj per and Hallenbcck are three of the h strongest players out this year, and Ii Hallenback in particular has done yeo- man service throughout tho season. W Sf.hulz, the 3r;chigan center, is one J of the strongest plnyers in that position y that wo hnvo soen for a long timo. Ho ij is an ideal athlete, hns a fine physique, is alert all tho time, and sizes up tbo VJ! plava quickly, as a rule, accurately. J; . Coptain "Wnldor of Cornell has con- 71 tinned his fine work of former seasons. i and he will undoubtedly be considered i one of tho bost fullbacks Cornell has ' ever had.
