In selecting an all state team play
ers must be selected not only on ac-
count of individual playing but more
with view of getting the best men in
the different positions so that, on the
whole. the team selected Will be a
strong team in all departments Of the
game A team must have good
punter, j good place Kicker, ana nu-
merous other attributes In some
cases it i hard to select the best player
and in others there is no difficulty.
Haughey is selected for one of the
ends because as an end he is in a class
by himself. He will undoubtedly be
selected as an end in the Missouri
valley team. He Is equally strong on
offense and defense and in all the big
games of the year his end has not once
been circled for gains Haughey also
has the advantage of experience as he
is now playing his third year in the
position of end. He is famous for his
flying tackles.
For the other end there is no one
who will come UP to the standard of
Haughey although there are several
ether good ends in the state. The
strongest applicants for this place are
Rouse of Kansas university and Robb
of Washburn- Rouse is an old and
seasoned player but as he has been out
of the game for the greater part of the
season with injuries this tends to dis
qualify. Had he been in the game all
season he would have stood a good
chance of making the All-Kansas-
Robb although playing his first year IN
his position has shown earmarks OF
becoming one of the best ends in the
west. on the offense he is tower OF
strength and is a good ground gamer
in carrying the ball His bulld makes
him a fierce charger. On defense he IS
very fast in going down on -punts and
his end has been uniformly hard TO
circle Robb has also shown great
possibilities in drop kicking which, are
entitled to some consideration in select
ing a representative team for the state.
Scholz of the "Aggies" has been out
of the game too much to be considered
in this position
Captain Donald of the Jayhawkers
is perhaps the best tackle in the west.
With his four years experience he has
been the mainstay of the Kansas team
and with his famous tackle swings he
has done much to make the Kansas
team A success. He is a very hard man
to stop because of his great weight and
on defense he is a very hard man to
get by. The strong Jayhawker line
owes much Of its strength to Captain
Donald He is easily the premier
tackle of Kansas.
The other tackle position goes to
Platt Of Washburn. Although Platt is
not as heavy a player as Donald he
line plunges Plat has been one Of the the
best ground gamers in the state He
PLAYS a strong defense and charges low
and fierce. Forde. Of the Normal, is a
he has not shown up well in the big
games. There are but few tackles in
Kansas this year who are IN any way
entitled to consideration on represen-
tative team of the state.
