Choices of Newspapers.
In the selections of seven newspapers from various parts of the East--namely, the Boston Post, Boston Herald, Boston Globe, Boston Journal, New York Sun, Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Providence Journal--Brickley, of Harvard, and Thorpe, of Carlisle, in the backfield and Bomcisler and Ketcham, of Yale, at end and centre respectively, were unanimously chosen for the All-Eastern football team. Felton was given the other end position by four of the seven papers. For the tackle positions Storer is the leading candidate, all but two of the papers favoring him. Pennock, of Harvard, and Brown, of Annapolis, are both chosen by four papers for the guard positions. Wendell is a close contender for H. Baker's place at halfback, one more paper favoring the latter. Pazzetti, Crowther and Bacon were each picked by two papers for the quarterback position.
