Iowa City, Dec. 1.-The present seas
on has developed some very strong
men among the Iowa colleges With
proper coaching the team picked above
should be able to sweep the west. The
weakest point is in quarterback posi-
ton and Taylor's slowness is probably
due to the system under which he has
been playing, II there was any other
reason a good coach could correct it
before the season was well started.
Elliot Of Morningside has shown to
be fair field general, fair kicker
and very dangerous man in brok-
en- field. 1t has beer to his disadvan-
tage that he has been playing on a
minor college team during the season
and has had no opportunity to demon
strate his ability in major college foot
tie the state normal after Pells bunch
had been slaughtered on every gridiron
in the state. Elliot certainly has the
call on the position after Taylor, but
the superior experience Of Heston's
man. coupled with his brilliant work
in an open field and his ability to place
his punts where they will roll the far
thest, for he is not strong kicker,
gives him the all-state position.
For center, Edwards of Morningside
has the right to the position. Mabie
of Ames has a right to be considered
because of his great defensive game
against Iowa and Drake. but his UNI
certainty in long passes. which gave
Iowa two points in the championship
game, makes him not better than Sec
ond choice. Edwards plays a fighting,
aggressive game, and would make an
ideal man on the team.
The guards are given to Riser of
Grinnell and Connaway Of Drake, be-
cause both men in hard. fast game
are capable of putting up a great de-
Tense, and have unlimited ability in
breaking thru the opposing center.
With a center trio composed of Ed
wards Riser and Connaway, the all
Iowa college team would be exception
ally strong in the pivotal position.
For similar reasons Mills of Ames
and Hasbrook of Drake are selected
for the all Iowa tackles. Both men
are heavy and fast, and have been
used as great ground gamers by their
respective teams. They can stand UNI
limited attack as they demonstrated in
the Drake-Iowa and Ames-Iowa games
and their great physical strength
makes them invaluable to such a team.
With series of plays built UP around
these two men, and with proper sup
port from their teammates it is be-
lieved that they would carry the ball
on wide tackle berths, forty yards
against any team in the west
Two men have the unquestfoned
right to the end positions. They are
Aurucher of Grinn,ell and MacLhen-
ney Of Ames. Both men are ideal ends,
very fast, strong tacklers and capa-
BILE Of carrying the ball on offensive
play They are capable OF
showing up equally we'll as a
smashing end on defense or as u wide
end when the coach plays his half to
break the interference.
There are more mon in the state
who have q right to be considered in
the selection Of the, halfbacks, but for
several reasons the final choice settles
on Henshaw Of Penn and Jones OF
Ames. In the first place in selecting
this team preference has been given to
those men who have shown especial
brilliance in their attack as we'll as
a steady going defense that will not
get ratified. Henshaw and Jones both
run hard and never know when they
are down. They know foot ball and
back of the line JUST picked and with
the assistance OF Hasbrook and Mills
at tackle, should prove irresistible
groundgainers.
For the position Of fullback Stoffer
| of Ames has BEEN picked as Il man
entirely fitted for the position. With
the tackles he can divide the work OF
breaking down an opposing line and is
fast enough to form an integral part OF
every play Jones and Taylor could
