Among individuals, there are many great players who have received little publicity. Spears of Vanderbilt is as good a quarterback as you would be likely to find anywhere. Grube of Lafayette is a sensational end; so are the two Brown extremities—Towle and Broda. Boerniger of Notre Dame has been called the country's best centre—so has Jack Butler of Penn. Wickhorst of the Navy, Sprague of the Army, Connaughton of Georgetown, Cothran of Lafayette are famous tackles. For All-American quarterback, some critics say Benjamin Friedman of Michigan; others, Kaer of Southern California (the highest scoring player in the country); others, Caulkins of Princeton, whom Roper has called the best field general he ever developed. Galloping backs are numberless—Mishel of Brown; Hamilton and Shapley of the Navy; Peters of Illinois; Murrell, Wilson and Cagle of the Army (the year's greatest combination of stars on any single team) ; eel-hipped Jacob Slagle of Princeton; Joesting of Minnesota.
