Minneapolis Tribune: At the close OF
football season every sporting writer,
who has been following western foot
ball, picks an all-western team, a
team which in his estimation, IL IL
could be collected at one place, would
make the strongest team possible with
that years players. Men given places
by one may not be considered for a
moment by another. The only way to
get team that really represents the
west is to compose a team OF men who
have been given their positions the
most frequently by recognized sporting
authorities.
The Tribune has collected the all
western teams Of nine sporting writ
ers, five of which come from Minne-
apolis and st. Paul and four from Chi
cago. A poll was taken of each man
and 1t was seen just what men were
the choices for the various positions,
The result of the count shows that
Walker, of Minnesota, is the only man
who has been given a position on all
of the teams. McGovern and Farnum
of Minnesota, and Benbrook of Mich
igan come next having each been
