Western football In 1910 received a stronger recognition from Walter Camp, In Collier’B Weekly, In bis all* American gridiron team, than It hag been accorded for many seasons. Three players were chosen as teammates of eastern stars by the Yale alumnus, and, though the number is less than half the whole eleven, the representation of the western section is gratifying to followers of the game, and incidentally accords Wells and Benbrook of Michigan and Walker of Minnesota the high honor which they dfliiftrVA uoaut —— ■■ . -— i — Considering that the season recently brought to a close was one of the most weird in the history of the game, a

No school either in the east or west, has more than two players on the honorary eleven, a change notable in comparison with other years, when Yale alTd Harvard, in particular, claimed the bulk of the places. And for this reason Mr. Camp’s eleven is more representative, probably, than it ever has been.
