LITTLE WILLIE GETTIT
Desjardien, the Chicago center,
from all we can gather, is one of
P greatest men that ever played
ihe position. A wonderful offensive
, layer, a giant on the defence and
in accurate placer of the pigskin,
lie was never outplayed during the
past season, although pitted against
>ome of the best men who played the
position of renter. Keller, of Wis
consin, and Routh, of Purdue, are a
wonderful pair of guards. Harris, of
hicago, was given a place on the
first all-Western eleven bv some ex
perts. but the general opinion is that
be was not quite the equal of the two
men who have been placed on the
first eleven. /
Pontius Gets Place.
Pontius, of Michigan, and Kirk, of
Iowa, at the tackle positions, easily
were the peers of any man that ca
vorted at the tackle stations in the
West. Both men were hard, sure
dokiers, both extremely fast in get-
• mg down the held and neither failed
when called upon to open a hole in
the rival lino for their plunging
halfbacks.
At the wing positions, Huntington,
of Chicago, and Solon, of Minnesota,
loomed up as the superiors of their
rivals. Both played wonderful, con
sistent games throughout the sea
son. with the Chicago man showing
slightly better than his Minnesota
partner, through his ability to carry
the ball through broken fields.
Dorais at Quarter.
Dorais, the Notre Dame quarter
back, is regarded as the greatest
juarterback of the year—both In the
East and the West. A wonder at
handling the forward pass, a heady
field general, a sure catcher of punts,
a fine tackier and a brilliant runner,
lie belongs to the first eleven taking
the position from Rus’sell, the fast
Chicago pivot man. It has been
many years since the West has seen
any halfback that equalled Craig, the
mighty Michigan backfield man. His
terrific line smashing and his won
derful ability in circling the ends way
largely responsible for Michigan’s
victories. Norgren, of Chicago, an
other marvelous player. Is a worthy
partner to Craig in the backfield.
Selecting the fullback from three
•'trong candidates was a difficult Job.
Elchenlaub, of Notre Dame; Shaugh-
nessy, of Minnesota, and Pierce, of
Chicago, played wonderful games at
their positions in the center of the
backfield, but because of their slight
superiority over Shaughnessv on the
defense. Eichenlaub draws a place on
the first eleven and Pierce on the sec
ond eleven.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Dec 3 —An
nouncement was made to-day of the
release of Doc Newton, veteran left
hander of the Memphis club, to the Gal
veston club of the Texas league. The
deal was for a cash consideration. How
ever the amount received was not made
public.
According to Manager Finn, the re
lease of Newton is merely the begin
ning of a series of releases which in the
end will practically exterminate the
present pitching corps. On excellent au
thority it is learned that Billy Parsons
and others of the 1913 staff are to fol

ment. Whenever the Soldiers have
the ball within their opponents’ 4#-
yard line, Bingle can be counted on
to attempt a boot at goal. The Sol
diers are relying upon this youngster
for a couple of field goals Saturday.
The all-star line-up needs no Intro
duction. Kirk Newell, Homer Cook
and Lewie Hardage will be in the
backfield. Ray Morrison, the former
Vandy star, will be at quarter. This
backfield should be able to rip up any
line, and the fans should certainly
witness some dandy line-plunging
Saturday. Also Newell was about the
best player in the South the past sea
son at circling the ends. The back-
field players are all in fairly good
condition, and should be able to pull
through a full game.

the Soldiers through a hard work-out
these days, and plans to have them in

Saturday starting the combat.
The Infantry line is showing much
strength, and Devore thinks with n
strong line his boys will have a good
chance to hold th all-stars. Devore
himself will be at one of the tackles,
which should prove a big help to his
players. Devore was one of the
greatest tackles in history, earning a
place on Walter Camp's all-star
American his last two years with the
Army.
The Soldiers also have several play
ers who have displayed great Individ
ual ability. Swartz showed last Sat
urday against the Eleventh Cavalry
from Chattanooga that he can be de
pended upon at all times when han
dling the forward pass, as he heaves
the oval with wonderful accuracy.
Time and again he threw the ball
from 25 to 35 yards against the Cav
alry for successful passes.
