SELECT ALL STARS.

Captain and Richie, Drips and
KittiIson Are Named.

Picking an allstar high school foot
ball team for the tri-cities is not an
unusually difficult task this year, not
because of the abundance of stars, but
because there is at least one man in
every position who stands out from
the rest as the best for the place. Wy
land of Moline is the undisputed
choice for the fullback position on ac-
count of his line bucking abilities and
his strength in running interference
and returning punts. He is also a
powerful man on the defense. Captain
Lift of the Rock Island team is the
next choice for an allstar position.
halfback without doubt because of his
strength in carrying the ball. He would
be the proper man to act as captain
of the team also, as he puts life and
ginger into a team by encouraging it
at all stages of the game whether win
ming or losing. The other halfback
position goes to Adelquist of Daven-
port, principally on his showing in the
game against Moline. Had Kittilsen
of Rock Island played this position n
more than one game he would proba-
bly, have showed up as the better man
of the two and would have been en-
titled to the position but as he is as
sured of an end position any way It
would strengthen the team to put
Adelquist in the lineup. Richie of Rock
Island is easily the choice for quarter
back. He is fast and sure and dis
played good judgment throughout the
year
Line Strong and Heavy
The line for the allstar team would
be a strong one, as there are many
good men to choose from. North ~
Moline was probably the best center
of the year, as he was sure on the
offense and aggressive on the defense.
For guards, Elmstedt of Moline and
Mitten of Davenport were apparently
the best of the guards of the three
teams, although the two Rock Island
promise for the future when they have
had more experience. Drips of Rock |
Island and CLAIR of Moline are the
choice of the tackles. Both men are
good at carrying the ball and both are
powerful defensive men. Kittilsen Of

could probably hold its own with any
team in the state. OF course the all /

President Palen of Dubuque has
closed contracts with two new men
for his baseball club for next season.
They are William Buckley, a catcher,
and Nick Mahon, an outfielder. Both
men played in the Chicago City league
last season and made good records
The men had offers from several other
professional clubs but Dubuque beat
them to it. Buckley is said to be a
hard hitter an accurate thrower and
fast on the bases. He has had ample
experience to break into professional
company. Mahon made an enviable
record in the outfield and with the bat
during the season.
