Although I give him the position of full-back, after a careful consideration of his qualifications, I am forced to state that the position would have fallen to Franklin Bien, Jun., of Berkeley, were it not for the fact that Bien's playing this year has been greatly handicapped by the injury he received early in the season during the game between Berkeley School and St. Paul's at Garden City. Bien is the equal of Starr in his all-round work, but his liability to injury in a game makes him slightly timid in his work, and takes away the dash and the spirit and determination that characterized him during the preceding season. For this reason Starr gets the position, and for this reason alone. Bien is entitled to a position as first substitute full-back. As substitute guards I would name Gilson of Berkeley, Rafter of De La Salle. As substitute guard and tackle, Hoffman of Cutler. As substitute ends, Bennett of De La Salle and Loraine of St. Paul's; and as substitute centre, Taves of Trinity. This All-New-York Eleven makes up a very heavy team. The line especially averages a good weight, and under proper coaching ought to be able to stand up against a team of older players with credit to itself. With such a line as this in front of them, the two plunging backs, Starr and Tilford, ought to be able to make big gains through any opponents, and, on the whole, I think that if the New York schools should send this team to represent them against any other combination of eleven men, they could feel perfectly confident that their side of the field would be well taken care of. The All-Chicago Interscholastic Football Team for 1896 is as follows: FRANK LINDEN, _Hyde Park H.-S._ left end. WILLIAM PRENTISS, _Evanston H.-S._ left tackle. WILLIAM MITCHELL, _Evanston H.-S._ left guard. GORDON MACKAY, _Hyde Park H.-S._ centre. GUNNAR GRAM, _Lake View H.-S._ right guard. GUY KNICKERBOCKER, _Hyde Park H.-S._ right tackle. LYNN SCHOELLENBURGER, _Englewood H.-S._ right end. WILLIAM TALCOTT, _Englewood H.-S._ quarter-back. CLAYTON TEETZEL, _Englewood H.-S._ left half-back. JAMES HENRY, _Englewood H.-S._ right half-back. D. P. TRUDE, _Hyde Park H.-S._ full-back.
