Coach White bases his selection: upon
the following arguments:
The All Montana football team for
1909 is undoubtedly the strongest Sc
lection Of football stars ever gathered
together in the state. The team have
selected will average about 10 piunds
and would be formidable foe i''r any
Of tie northwestern elevens.
In making the above selection
have strivcn to get an allaround team
in the new and old style games. Sew
eral men have shown brilliancy in
some departments of the game and yet
could hardly cone up to standard in
others.
Little of Montana stands out as the
best end in the state, at least as re-
regards the new game. His basket
ball training has made him excep-
tionally proficient in catching the for
ward pass. In the Butte game he
speared seven out of eight and on one
play ran 20 yards for "A touchdown. He
also runs well with the ball and breaks
up interference like a veteran.
Pool of the Aggies should be Little 5
running mate. Big and strong. he is
a hard man To hold and runs well with
the ball. With these two men at the
extremities of the line. ii would be a
hard matter to tear off many long end
runs. Vealey of Montana, who was
chosen as end last year. has not shown
his former class in any of the games
he has played this season. Kenneth,
while very sure tackler. lacks aggres-
siveness in carrying the ball.
AT the tackle positions Montana
stands in class by herself. with Ryan
and Mac'ay pulling down the honors
Both are large. powerful men. standing
over six feet and weighing around $50
pounds. What places these two play
ers head ard shoulders above their op-
poncnts is their aggressiveness. Either
one can he depended upon to carry the
ball from tackle position, and il is no
unusual thing to see a Montana tackle
break through the line and throw the
runner for "a loss. Cooley of the As-
gies and Beard of the varsity would
make two good utility men. Beard IS
good man and. with little more
weight, will he n formidable candidate
for honors. He can be used at guard.

tons we'll He is the sort of a man
who makes a coach feel secure, for
he can be switched to almost any posi-

THE guard positions will be filled
by Osenberg of Butte and Sheriff of
the Ageies. Both are big. strong men.
weighing about 100 pounds. and it
would be a hard matter to send plays
over such a pair. The varsity guards.
Bennett and simpson. are both light
and inexperienced men. but played IA
very creditable game.
In my mind, Stoddard, though out
weighed by all of his opponents. stands
out pre- eminent as pivot for the line.
He never fails to get the charge on his
man and on punt it's no uncommon
thing To see him down the field before
the ends. His passing is always sure
and. with his football nerve, he is a
hard man tn hold. As a substitute
tn Stodard | would choose Wolchli OF
the BoZeman eleven.
'Winstanley and Jensen would make
II great pair of halfbacks for any
northwest team. winstanley shines in
broken field work and in returning
punts. He is hard man to tackle
and in every game he mas played this
year his wiggling and sauirming for a
few extra yards has been feature
His kicking ability. too. would be a
great asset for any team. In the Ag-
gle and Butte games he sent the ball
over the goal posts from the AZ and
30 yard lines, respectively. Jensen.
with his great strength and ability to
smash the line, is just the kind of a
player tn be Winstanley's running
mate. He is extremely hard to stop
and is "A power on defensive work
