| 10 believe that there is such another team
In the South as this. II is expected that
many players and others connected win
the game in Texas will object to player
here or n player there on the team as Il
stands, but the team has been picked as
a result OF close observation. and close
study, and certainly all have the same
! right ms he to pick q team to suit his own
| tastes.
There arc many players who deserve spc-
| cial mention. and among these are STAN
age, Lyon and Adams of Dallas. Schrein
or. Workman and Blackjack OF the Univer-
sity of Texas. Stahcr. Proctor, wa,ies and
Glass OF Houston, Staercker. Buell. and
Ralston of Galveston and Tracy, stearns
and Farr OF Agricultural aud Mechanical
college team.
In choosing the All Texas team care has
been taken in weighing the good and bad
qualities shown by individuals in the play.
and every man has been given all the
credit due him in the comparison.
Merewether Is now veteran at foot
ball, and his playing at end this year IS
better than anything no ever did before.
He used the tactics of Rhie King, aud
wherever the hall was there also was
Merewether
Parker at left tackle was very good, and
played better game than last year.
cotter sim holds mis- own at left guard,
and may still he called the best left guard
in the State.
puerer at center for Houston outclasscd
those other men filling the same position
on other teams, He is very quick in swap
ping the ball and in the line.
Berthea at left guard for Austin makes
the best kind OF "a third man Ter this cen-
ter trio and has played we'll for his team
all season.
Taylor can not possibly be eauallcd In
this State, and MS an allround player is a
wonder. He fills tackle with case. and
handles his opponents to suit himself
o'Brien OF Galveston acquitted himself
very credibly this year. and has been Won
derfully active in his end position, and
this activity won game for his team this
year.
Scott plays with such sang froid and such
ease at quarter back 1t is hard to believe
there is any hard work attached TO It. His
manner of keeping the team in good hu-
NOR under adverse circumstances has wen
them great deal this year.
Abrams and aperton are two very
splendid halves, and play game very SIM
liar. but Abrams has the advantage of q
season on the sub" against the Pennsyl-
vania team in his favor. There lis no doubt
about their being ground gamers,
As no kicking has been done TO amount
10 anything this season except the goal
from field by Kellar at Galveston. the full
backs could not have been picked from
the showing they made in this direction.
but from their ability as ground gamers,
and certainly Druesedow has surpassed
them all In this. His playing Is splendid,
and he deserves the honor he has re-
ceived.
