WESTERN SWIMMER
- TO INVADE EAST

Chicago, Dec. 16-An eastern trip has
been arranged for Handy, the Chicago
swimming champion, and dates have
been fixed for appearances at Columbia
and Yale universities. He is prepared
to meet all corners who have doubt
that he is the fastest short distance
swimmer in the world. One Of the men
Handy will meet while in the east is
Daniels, of New York. A match will be
made later with Schwarz, the st. Louis
champion, which will probably take
place at St., Louis. Handy uses the
famous Australian "crawl.''
Handy participated in the A. A. U
championship at Travers Island last
summer and was defeated by Daniels
Handy, however, is said to be a stronger
swimmer in the tank. ..-,

The men eligible for left guard are
about even and Edgar Shave, of Cen

great point in his favor is that he

light but had way of playing up to

shown considerable, aggression when it

TWIN CITY HIGH SCHOOL
ALLrSTAR FOOTBALL TEAM
First Team Second Team
BY Gil.

BY Gil.
Now comes the interesting task of
picking an all-star team. The work is
never easy and this season it appears
+; to be. particularly hard because team
.; work and concerted playing have been
developed to point never reached on
the high school gridiron before and
games have been won by the whole
team and not by the individual prowess
Of few men as has happened in years
past.
The relative standing of the teams
upon which they played has entered
into the choice Of men to a certain de-
gree and has helped in the solution Of
what has been a most perplexing prob
lem None of the North high players
appear in the lineup. This omission
is due to the fact that North has not
played any of the twin city high
schools and so has given no chance for
comparison. The writer is confident
that at least three of the blue and
white players would have made the
iAll-Star had the North high board
of control decided to play out it's
schedule instead of canceling its
games. These men are Captain Jack
Marks, fullback and the Oswald boys,
tackles.
Having made this explanation of the
manner and standards by which the
Twin City All-Star team has been Sc
llected it only remains to discuss the
men. Those chosen and the reasons for
their selection:
The Left End.
Left end goes to Alex McGregor of
st. Paul Central. He is light but more
than makes up for this by his grit and
alertness. No interference is heavy
enough to shake his nerve and he has
an eye for the ball which makes him
a bad man to have around in case Of
tumble. His offensive work is good and
his ability as dropkicker is moving
consideration in giving him the place.
He has scored four goals from the field
in match games this season. Otto
Bresky, of Central high, comes a close
second to McGregor, but has not shown
the unwavering alertness OF the St.
Paul man. His work in carrying the
ball is deserving of commentator and
he is very likely to be there Or there
abouts when the opposing quarter has
just succeeded in embracing a spiral.
This is his first year at Central but
last year he played the same position
on the North Side team. He has two
years more to play.
For left tackle Chauncey Barden, Of
East high, is the most available man.

CAPT AIN M'RAE IS
VICTIM Of ACCIDENT
Leader of Varsity Basketball
Team Out of Game for
a Time.

In its first week Of hard practice the
university basketball team has received
setback, which will seriously retard
the development of a championship
varsity quintet. Randolph McRae,
raptain of the team, is out of the game
with a strained tendon and will be I'M
able to get into the play until after the
Christmas holidays. McRae is one of
the fastest forwards ever developed at
The university and altho he will be
present every night to encourage his
men in their preliminary work, his in
Jury is a serious blow to the team.
With the exception of the McRae
accident the work Of the week has been
Entirely satisfactory to Hugh Leach,
who has been donating his services in
coaching the team. Every afternoon a
number Of undergraduates who have
watched the men on the floor and en-
couraged them in their efforts. Under

more exciting from the spectator 8

His playing upon both offense and de-
Tense has been the main reliance of the
crimson team and it can be said that
in the five teams from which this team
is picked there is not another tackle
who can compare with him at any de-
partment Of the game. He has de-
cidedly the advantage of any of the
other candidates when it comes to a
question Of weight and experience.
This is his last year at East and his
graduation will be a severe loss to the
crimson. This was his third year of
high school football. John Pendleton,
Of Central high, should rank next to
Barden. His work for Central has been
steady and consistent and at times has
risen to the point of brilliant. This is
Pendleton IS first year at the game and
as he has two years left to play the
chances are that he will take his place
in the first rank before the end.
The Guard Question.
Coming to the position Of left guard
it would seem that Roy Putnam, Of
Central high, is entitled to the place.
Putnam is light but has shown an ag-
gressiveness in his playing on the de-
ioaoA'0 "ahSlI AAaS PAOfOAtOo any SdluS
thru his position. His work has been
a conspicuous example Of what a light
man can do in the way of defensive
playing in the line if he will only
force the attack instead of waiting for
his heavier opponent. His offensive
work has been particularly good and
his ground gaining has been RESPONSE
BILE for more than one touchdown. Axel
sherbloom, East high, takes second
honors at this spot. He is heavy,
weighing lS5 pounds, and but for his
inexperience would have made a
stronger bid for the place. It is a
pity that this is his last year at East
high for in another season he would
have developed into a star man. The
injuries which kept him out of the
game for some time undoubtedly kept
him from making better showing.
Phil Dahlquist, of South high, is an.
other man who deserves mention in
connection with this position. For a
new man he did remarkable work on
both defense and offense and made his
side of the line a hard spot for the
opposing teams.

this run, but on the play-off Watson
ran up to 26 points, while Nelson could
not get above II.
The last week Of the tournament was,
Of course, the most interesting. Neither
Day nor Walin had lost a game and
were very much in line for high prize.
On Tuesday, however, Day defeated
Walin and on the next nights match
Watson also ran away from Walin.
This left the last game to Day and Wat
son, the latter up to this time being I'M
defeated. The champion was too much
for him, however, and won with COM
parative ease.

with high runs and averages is as fol-

forts to mastering the new system of
play which will result from the adop-
ton of theeastern rules by the six big
nine colleges in the Western Collegiate
Basketball league.
The game will undoubtedly be rougher
under the new rules. Many of the
technicalities and penalties have been
eliminated and a surprisingly little time
is taken out on account Of violation of
regulations. From the time the whistle
blows for the first half the ball is almost
constantly in play and at no time are
the players allowed breathing spell Of
any length.
The adoption Of the new rules means
that the players must 60 thru a more
severe conditioning than has been nee
essary in the past. There is no time
for rest and if a player is not in the
best physical condition he will be I'M
able to last thru the game. This fact
should be favorable to the Minnesota
team, however, as all the candidates for
places on the varsity are indoor gym
nastic men and in splendid condition.
The fight for the position of center
on the varsity team will be close if
the work during the week is any cri-
terion. The candidates are Woodrick,
Ntzhugh,, Healey and Weisel and every
one of these men has shown good bas-
ketball ability. "Mummy'' Weisel Of
the football team has taken up basket
ball as a means Of keeping in condition
during the winter and he is one of the
most promising candidates for the GEN.
ter position.

Tommy Ryan thinks he will be able
to make as great a fighter Of Hart as
he did of Jeffries, and it will be recalled
that he taught Jeffries all the science
and speed he was able to develop. Old
timers will recall the famous seventy
six-round battle Ryan won from Danney
Needham in 1891, as well as his twenty
round fight with Mysterious Billy Smith
and his short struggle with Jack Pitts,

inconspicuous. It is probably for this
reason that other writers have passed
Tobin with hardly mention. His
ground gaining has been almost en-
tirely by line plunges and has been
good for first down in almost every
emergency which has confronted the
Central team. Then, too, his defensive
work has been Of high order. He is
prompt in backing up the forwards and
always manages to do a little more than
his share Of the work and do it so
smoothly that it is hardly noticed. This
is his second year of football and he
has one year left to play. Rollin Bun
