Walter Camp has selected a verv fine eleven as America's best, but it is certain to draw unkind words from many quarters. Critics In the middle west will pick the team to piece:; because of the failure of several sev-eral stars from that section to tie placed Seven of Camp's first team are from the east. Three are from the middle west and one from the coast. The eonth isn t given any representation The fact that (astern football aid not demonstrate any grunt superiority superior-ity o-er the other sections of th- country', is not going to help justify the selection of seven eastern men. KIRK LOSES OUT. The failure of Kirk to win a place will eome as a great surprise. Kirk Is one of the best ends the "Big Ten'' has produced in years. It was felt Certain that he would be selected. M.nl of the cri'ics picked Kirk arm Muller as tho ends. Camp givei Tuv-lor Tuv-lor 01 Annupolls the preference over Kirk. Placing McMillen of Illinois on the third team will not meet with tho approval of many of tho nildie west critics. McMillen was the class Of tin- western guards and it was belli be-lli ed that Camp would surely find a place for him on his first team Woller of Nebraska, a wonderful taeklo. was entirely overlooked In Camp'fl -attni.' Sack of Pittsburg, a sterling guard, failed to get mention. John Thomas of Chicago Is placed at fullback. Uodoubtedly Camp saw Thomas in action against Princeton Busing his opinion on thnt game. Thomas was bound to bo placed on the first team. No football player In tho history of the sport ever played a greater game than did Thomas 1 against Princeton. He scored the thrco touchdowpa made by Chicago. ' UTH ENTIRELY I KLOORED. Gullan of Brown was faored by most of the eastern critlcB for a guaid on their A li-America team. Camp places htm on his third team. The only action the south gets is Bomar at end and Hnrron at fullback full-back on the second team. Red Roberts of Centre La entirely overlooked over-looked this year. Camp placet Fullback Locke of Iowa at gnertor. A majority of the "Big Ten" experts did the samel thlnjr In order to place Join. Thomas at full. However, when Loelco wan considered ns a fullback, all th weMern ep.ils ge.Vl him preferenco over Thomas. Camp has selected three mighty fine teams. However, It'e the saine old Story when the opinion of one ' man is sui.im.tted against the football foot-ball experts of thl country It can't be done and scape cilticism. |
