All Iowa Team Chosen--Selec-
ton Of Players Not An
Easy Task
KENT, OF IOWA, is CAPTAIN
Iowa City Quarter Back Given Place
Because of Experience, Ability and
GeneraIship-List of the Players and
Reason Why They Were Chosen in
Preference to Others.


The football season has closed, and
naturally the first thought Of those
football inclined in Iowa turns to the
selecting Of an all-Iowa team. Such
team has been selected, as follows,
players from the champion Iowa State
College team. not being included:
Hastings, of Iowa, center.
lockwood, of Iowa, right guard.
Hoffman, of Drake, left guard.
Riser, of Grinnell, right tackle.
Washburn, of Iowa. left tackle.
Aston, Of Coe, right end.
Streff, Of Iowa, left end.
Kent, of Iowa, quarterback.
Loverin, of Drake, right half
Whiseman, of Morningside, left half.
Kirk, of Iowa. full back.
While the game Of football under
the new rules is still in formulative
stage the task Of picking an all-Iowa
team presents hitherto unheard of
difficulties. Men chat under the old
regime have had sure place upon
such an aggregation have to give way,
in some instances, to others who show
more versatility in the same position.
In years past it has been the custom
to leave the champions of the state
out OF the consideration and this Gus
tom makes the task easier In fact,
should the Ames team be considered
in the lineup. it's eligible players
would materially lessen the number on
other teams entitled to place
In the selections made there are a
few places where men are moved into
positions which they have not played
this year and yet, in these instances,
the weight and speed of such men was
deemed desirable in their new posi-
tons.
Kent, Captain and Quarterback.
If there is any one man who stands
before all others in a claim for his
position it is Kent, the star quarter
back of the university team. A man
of considerable experience and an ex-
ceptional punter he handles his team
with good Judgment and is sure man
in the back field. Thomas, of Coe,
defeated Grinnell with two goals from
the field and Valerius Of Grinnell was
good at times, but a trifle erratic.
Premier positions at half-back must
be given to Whiseman, of Morningside,
and Loverien, of Drake. The former
on account of his combined weight
and speed and the latter for being
steady plunger and of more than or
binary staying qualities. Bleamaster,
Of Grinnell, and Allen, of Iowa, cap
tains of their respective teams, both
showed flashes Of ability, but neither
could be called consistent.
AT full back, Kirk of Iowa. must be
given the call. Altho serving his first
year on the varsity he played a steady
game and should develop into a good
man with proper handling. Next to him
Tiberghein, Of Des Moines college.
claims attention because he played an
uphill game with spirit that can
not but be commended.
Men for tho Line.
For the end position one man was |
selected for his aggressive work on the
defense and the other for his speed |
and versatility. The first is Streff, Of |
Iowa, who has played but one game |
this year, and yet his work against
Ames cannot be overlooked. He is fast |
down field and aggressive almost to |
the point of roughness. Aston, of Coe, |
is not so heavy but is fast on his feet |
and capable of carrying the ball on
plays that require quick execution. |
Flanagan, of Grinnell, Is fast but q
bit new in his position and Carberry
of Iowa may develop more than ordin-
airy ability in another year.
For tackles, this years rules require
big men that are speedy and for this
reason Riser, Of Grinnell, and Wash
burn, of Iowa, were chosen. Both men
can lug the ball as well as stand heavy
punishment. Price, of Morningside,
had more weight than either of these,
but he was bit awkward in his move
ments. Ratsch of Coe also played
game that makes him worthy Of men
ton.
At the guard position lockwood, OF
Iowa, and Hoffman, of Drake, claim
first attention. lockwood played tackle
part of this year but his weight and
charging make him more desirable at
guard.
Hoffman combines the experience
and weight and Snould pc ValuaDle
addition to any of the state teams
Pierce, Of Grinnell. and Bateman, OF
Iowa, are guards worthy of notice, but
neither is up to the standard Of tbs
foregoing pair.
At the pivotal position Of this bunch
Of stars must be placed Hastings OF
Iowa. During the championship game
there were times when he even impeded
teh advance of husky Ames' center.
the advance Of the husky Ames center,
and he often breaks thru the opposing
line when on the defensive. All in all
he is shifty man that will bear
watching. Next to him Palas, OF
Drake, probably classes above the 9TH
err centers of the state.
This team is we'll balanced and has
speed in the positions where it is most
required. Kent should do the punt
ing and he held general, in both Of
which he is exceptionally strong. 1T is
not claimed that this aggregation would
be world heaters but they would, no
doubt, give any team in the state
battle that would be worth going
ong way to see.
Splendid Record.
