WESTERN ELEVEN
Great Michigan Coach Names
His Choice Of Vests
Best Men.
- FTELDING H. 20.

I have eliminated Notre Dame from
consideration altogether, though that
team has some fine players. My reasons
for so doing are that the LOngman team
has so many men who are ineligible
under the college rules as accepted by
the leading teams. that it is not prop
eTly to be classed with the others who
observe stricter regulations.
To my certain knowledge. Dolan, Mil
Ter Dimmick and Philbrook would be
ineligible to compete at any of the con-
ference colleges or at the University Of
Michigan, and there may be others, One
of the men I have mentioned has played
nine years of college football.
Aside from questions of eligibility,
NOtre Dame men are great lot. Do
Ian is easily the best guard I have seen
this season and i doubt if.he has a SUI
perior, or even an equal in the country.
Vaughan Miller and Dimmick, also
would be worthy Of places on the All
Western. DOIan, Dimmick and Vaughan
certainly would have to be selected.
1t may seem strange that L have
picked 50 many Michigan men, but I
think that I have good reasons for my
choices. If I had the privilege Of Sc
Letting from among all the teams in
the west there isn't one Of the SIX
Wolverines whom ] would be willing

have tried to be absolutely impartial
in picking the players.
There can be no question about Ben
brooks right to be classed with the
best i'm the country. Every critic who
has seen him play has been warm in
his praises. smith in addition to being
a sure and speedy passer, covers as
much ground as an end. In the last TWO
games his work has been remarkable.
They wiilhave to show me a man who
compares with him as a defensive cen
Ter.
Casey easily outplayed all his oppOn-
ents, with the exception of the first
half of the NOtTe Dame game. At Min
neapOuS ne was ptLJed against McCree,
the Minnesota star. and showed him
up. JOY Miller is a great defensive end,
a hard. sure taCkler, and a good man at
advancing the ball. Had he played a
couple more games at quarter ne PROB
ably would have beaten all Corners for
the All Western in this position.
Nobody can gainsay Allerdice'S title
70 place. lie rs magnificent kicker,
getting his punts away quickly and for
good distance and as a place kicker
hasn't a superior i'm the country. He
plays a strong defensive game ana
when in good physical condition can hit
the line hard.
Magidsohn is great halrbacK.
Either as a line bUcker or end runner
he is generally to be depended on when
ever called. His defensive work has
been of the sensational order.
I am tOuuNlnE nlNSeAE TO Sel6CLlng
men in the positions that they have
played this season, and for this reason
omit Page of Chicago. This man un-
QuestiOnably would get the call at end.
but made rather G. poor showing at
quarter this year.
McGOVeTn / selected on his past per-
formances, though he showed nothing
against us that would entitle him to
the place. JOY Miller made him look
like schOoibOy. However, the Mime
sofa man is a great player if we take
his reputation up TO the time Of the
final contest.
If Hamilton of Notre Dame could be
considered eligible he would be my
choice over McGOvern. Certainly ne
made q much better showing than any
other quarterback who played against
us this year
Pickering looked like the best Of the
fullbacks- with the exception of Waugh
an of NOtre Dame. Radermacher played
a fine game against Michigan, both on
the otfense and defense.
