In, selecting an all-star football
team to represent the Pacific North
west, the Oregon1an chooses Bert
Pilkington, of O A G for halfback.
In selecting him for this position
that paper says: "Although Pix
ington played fullback in most of
the games this year, Coach Her
bold believes that he is cut out for
halfback, and would do better in
that position. AS a fullhack, he is
close rival to Brown (of Whitman
College) and his absence from the
team would prove a weakness.
Pilkington is a fierce line -bucker
and can always be relied upon to
take the ball for a gain. In defens-
i've work he is the peer of any play
er in this section" Speidell, of
Washington, is selected for quarter
Says the Oregonian. Give times
during the season he boosted the
leather over his opponents goal
posts, and had he not done so when
the points were needed, Washing
tons games with Whitman and the
OAC would have resulted in a
tie"
