In the Christmas number of the Harper's Weekly, Casper Whitney has his customary article on the "All America" foot ball team. The eleven as he makes it up is as follows:
Thayer of U. of P. full back
King of Princeton half-back
Brewer of Harvard half-back
McCormic of Yale quarter-back
Lewis of Harvard centre
Wheeler of Princeton guards
Waters of Harvard gurds
Wallis of Yale tackles
Newell of Harvard tackles
Hinckey of Yale ends
Hallowell of Harvard ends
Substitutes - L. Bliss, Osgood, Butterworth and Poe back of the line, and Mackie, Adams, Newton, Winters and Schoff in the line.
The most striking feature of this makeup is the fact that Brewer is given a place on the team as half back, while Laurie Bliss is named only as a substitute The principal reason given for this is Brewer's great superiority in catching, which was so well shown in the Springfield game.
It. will be seen by the above that, excluding substitutes, Harvard has five places to Yale's three Including substitutes the honors are evenly divided, each college having six players.
