Behold the a~ll-star New Mexico
football team for the season Of 1909,
an aggregation composed of men who
are football players from the ground
mp, who under the coaching of San
Mckinney could play Colorado Univer-
sity, st. Vincent College Of Los An
geles or any other eleven in the west
to a standstill.
Composed of six varsity. players,
three cadets and two aggies. the Now
Mexico a~ll-star team would give a
rorrect imitation of strenuous or
scientific football on any gridiron and
before any team OF its weight and ex-
perience.
With the exception of one or two
ployers. the team is made up Of New
MeXtco boys born n raised, who
learned all they know about football
right on their home grounds.
Starting at center and going both
ways and behind the line at the same
time, the a~ll-star team looks good all
through.
Silva, at center, a T.. y. NJ. man. is
probably as hardy and husky a foot
ball player as can be found on any
N'N III III ollAth NA0ltS. IttdAlSt
the position of center is nearly always
covered up, Silva has been in the
llmellght as much as his playing the
past season deserved. A clean player
all the way through, he passes the
ball well and gets way with a good
many tackles. Whenever Silva tackles
q man it would be a pious idea for
him to stop right there. Silva is a
stonewall. No one ever heard of him

ltoNleN, a Cadet, picked for right
guard is one Of the most aggressive
PAYERS in New Mexico. He charges
low on he tackles and is good on
the defensive. Rowley plays splendid
I~ootpall and deserves a position on
The a~ll-star team.
FOR left guard, Bausmann. q husky
lalmer from the A. & NJ. is the most
eIlglpie man. With "a little more
speed, Bausmann would make a good
nali' but is Wedged out at that posi-
u9h hN Allen and Higgins. both Of
W,hpin are tcn-second men. Bausmann
paved right half for the Farmers dur

football conner.

,ne position Of right tackle. because of
