THE ENDS
John Neraston of Washington was one of the finest offensive ends the city has produced in the last few years while Jack Devine of Cathedral was a standout defensive man on a losing club. Pressing hard on these two lads were Bob Stan-
ries of Tech. THE TACKLES
Our vote for the best tackle in town goes to Jim Myers of Tech. He was a stalwart in the line for Tech’s unbeaten Green Wave. The power play rolled through his position*and he was there when the opposition came to call. The key men in this spot were all from Manual and Tech. To Everett Montgomery of Manual, who worked with Don Hafer, and to Bob Hennigar, who tackled along with Myers, go our votes for the best tackle combinations. Tech can credit much of its success to its tackles while the Redskin rise to a first-class power is traced to their power men.
THE GUARDS
The nod at the guards goes to Jack Klinger of Shortridge and Jack Rainey -of ‘Tech. Both were fine blockers: and alert defensive men. Lester Berry of Washington and Fred Freihofer, the other Blue Devil guard, get the second team
positions. CENTER
The Continentals of Washington were a fine offensive team with their scoring punch built around a tricky T formation which placed the burden on the center and quarterback. They didn’t bother that signal caller while Charles Petranoff was in there. He was the strong man on defense, too. Keith Hanna of Tech, the pivot man in a top-notch line, gets the second team position.
THE BACKS
We should like to list eight backs but you can’t put that many in one backfield, at least, not outside the professional ranks. Condon was the plunging, hardrunning spark-plug of the high scoring Continentals. Don King was the pitcher, a passer whose tosses accounted for most of the JBoguemen’s scoring. Casselman, the boy with the pedal-motion running style, cargame unbeaten in city play. ° The last man in the first eleven gets -our vote as the best back in town. He is James Hanna of Tech. Hanna could do everything and do it well. The second team backfield contains Bill Volk, the fastest man in the Tech ball-carrying Eddie Cornelius, coaches the best defensive back in town; John Dobkins, a ‘tricky runner. wko was always dangerous for Tech, and Bill Allanson, a little powerhouse that sparked Manual.

Spike Nelson Flavin a Good Unsuccessful Year at Yale
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Who has the softest coaching job in foot-
ball? Up to a few days ago this question was a stumper.
It no
longer is. Spike Nelson of the dear old Yales wins the nomination
and with palms. Mr. Nelson is expected to Jose
at least six ganfes a season. This
on the word of Dr. William C. De Vane, the dean. On. this basis, it
should be noted, Mr. Nelson, in his first year as head coach under the elms, is turning in a highly successful unsuccessful season.
He has already lost six, admitted
“par for the De Vane course and,
if he hustles, there’s a good chance he’ll have 10st a seventh to Harvard today.
The Yales are no. longer interested in winning football teams as .such. They no longer play football players. They play amateurs and they are going to continue playing them. This is a condition about which the Dean exults.
He points to it with pride. He shyly admits Yale is one of the few colleges that do not play pro.fessionals.
The Dean’s presentation of the New Haven situation is witty and amusing. In that respect it is in keeping with the quality of the football the Yalés have been playing in recent years.
“Things have come to that pass, in the East, at least, where the" unbeaten college is under the. gravest suspicion,” the Dean writes ”
- t ” ; WE DOUBT that. There have been unbeaten teams in the Ivy League, which the Yales grace, and there was no sharp letdown .in moral, social or intellectual standards as a result. If suspicion reared its ugly noggin’ in such instances it was probably inspired ‘by envy. Theoretically, at least, the Ivy League is replete with ethics and we take it that none of the group is included in the dean’s inferential indictment of professionalism. Yet several of these teams always manage to do all right. Even the Harvards haven’t been beaten in their last five games.
2 8 = eo
DR. DE VANE—The elfish fellows ‘around the Yale Club are already beginning to refer to him as Let - Us - Pray-Brother—takes the usual inconsistent stand of the football idealists. Nothing is to be done to improve the Yale situation and nothing is to be done to soften the schedule. Yale will continue to play casual foot-
ball and continue to play big |i

No Plea From Feller’s Mom
CLEVELAND, Nov. 22 (U. P.).— John B. Morley, chairman of Draft Board 20, said today that a letter to the board from Mrs. William Feller, mother of Bob Feller, did not contain a plea for deferment of the Cleveland Indians’ ace pitcher and that there would be no reopening of the Feller case until a formal plea had been made. “Mrs. Feller’s letter merely contained additional information not included in -Bob’s questionnaire,” Morley said. “His mother did not ask for any deferment. “I don’t believe the bnard can release the contents of the letter to the newspapers without the permission of the family. It is a family matter.” Feller was placed in, Class 1-A on Oct. 22 as available for immediate service in the Army. He missed ‘a recent induction by several places and is expected to take a final physical examination by the Army Medical Board in January.
