Second team: ends, Hickok of Yale and O'Connell of Harvard; tackles, Himmelberg of Holy Cross and Barber of Dartmouth; guards, Greene of Yale and Bianchi of New Hampshire; center, Andres of Dartmouth; quarterback, Wood of Harvard halfbacks, Mays of Harvard and Ellis of Yale; fullback, Harper of Harvard...
