st. Marys, Kan, Dec. 1.-The sea-
SON just closed demonstrated the fact
that, with but one or two exceptions.
the representative college teams OF
Kansas were not behind their sister
taking up and perfecting plays which
were necessary for a successful cam
paign under the new rules.
1t seems appropriate at this time to
give a distinctive position to. both the
men who were the best in the state
playing in their respective positions,
and to accord the different teams
throughout the state positions which
idea as to the comparative strength
of the many schools that go to make
up the Kansas college athletic con-
| ference. TX
| Notwithstanding the fact that but
few injuries and reversals of fdfm in
many of the teams confront the writer
in the selection of an All-kanSaS''
team and in the placing of the differ
which when. finished will not be con-
sfdered by all as the proper selection
as every one has his ideal when it
comes to mans ability to carry the
] ball or an end mans success in break
/ ing up an end run or going down the
| field under punt. There is a consen-
i suS of opinion as to- the efficiency of
| a few men among whom might be
7
| liams of Washburn, Gross of st.
Mary's and Blake of the Aggies.
According to any system of selec-
| ton there would be various men for
the eleven positions and there would
be various teams for the different
places. and for this reason there must
be some standard taken and 1 have
used the following That a team and
the men who played on that team
would be considered at three different
stag es-hrst, during the early season.
second, VIII en- each team would play
it's hardest game. and. third. the de-
vefopment demonstrated at the time
of the last game.
During the past season 7 have seen
every team in the conference, that is,
every representative team, play at
least one game, save the Ottawa team
and kept close tab on it and after
reviewing the season and taking into
consideration the aforesaid standard
1 would place the teams as fellows:t

z Coming to the Arkansas team it
may be well to- name the men picked
first. My choice for the various posi-
tons is based upon either officiating
in, or viewing the following games:
Washburn VS., Kansas university ST.
Marys and the Aggies, Kansas univer-
sity VS.. Washburn and st. iMarys, ST.
Marys VS.. Wesleyan, Cooper, Kansas
university, Washburn, Fairmount K.
c. Medics, State Normals and William
mount vs.. st. MarYs, Cooper VS.. st.
Marys, Haskell VS.. Arkansas univer-
sity, and State Norn1als VS.. st. Marys.
This I believe was as representative a
1fcf nA
any newspaper man or coach in the
state. ,t
My selection for the "All-Kansas"
team, based upon performances at |
these games is as follows:
First Team.
Haughey. Washburn, left end.
Platt, Washburn, left tackle.
Carlson, K. U. left guard.
Brown, Washburn, center. i
Falkenburg, ST. Marys, right guard |
Crowell, K. u. right tackle.
Blake, Aggies, right end
McVey, Cooper, quarter.
Gross, st. Marys. left half
Millice, Washburn, right half.
Williams Washburn, full back
Captain.
Second Team.
Ston, st. Marys, left end
Montgomery, Aggies, left tackle.
Monford. Washburn, 1ert guard.
: Milton, K. U. center.
Seng, Aggies right guard.
Cromwell, K. U. right tackle.
White. K. U. right end.
Angney, K. U. quarter. Captain.
White, Washburn, left half.
Wetmore. Paramount right half.
Bates, Paramount full back.
In all probability the All-Kansas
team will receive the approval of most |
followers of real college sport and then
there will be some who will wonder
how it was that I came to pick on
such man as McVey as quarter. This
man while a little over weight for a
quarter is without a doubt the fastest |
man playing this important position
since the days OF that great little field |
general Benny Owens He has his
team thoroughly disciplined, runs the
plays fast and often times carries the
ball from backs position on direct
pass and what pleased me most in his
playing is that he showed such a re-
never at a loss to know what to use.
The backfield which I have select
ed is fairly heavy and extremely fast
.Millice to do the kicking and we
know that that department would be
well taken care of-Williams to pune
ture the line or lead end runs and
Gross to do the forward passing and
place or drop kicking
The llne-men too could be depended
upon to make holes and occasionally
carry the ball for good gains. Both
guards, Falkenburg and Carlson are
exceptionally strong in that depart
ment and 1 dare say that this trio.
Brown. Carlson and Falkenburg,
could not be penetrated by any other
trio now playing in the entire middle
