In selecting an Al-State High school
team much depends on the point OF view.
If The chosen eleven were to meet only
Utah opponents, lighter players might 9o
awarded the highest honor or the SIlu-
IRON but the time has come When oul
High schools should measure up 10 tne
athletic efficiency Of other western states
The decisive defeat Of Granite by butte
gives us q good opportunity or cOInpdl-
ing local conditions with those or the
Pacific northwest, and Of Colorado our
neighbor to the east since LOngm0nt rs
scheduled to play a game with Butte III
the near future. If the Ann ArDOr eleven
secures a game in Utah, the scope OF
c0uDarisOn will be Wideued to embrace
the middle west and the Pacific slope.
1t is undeniably true that the Dtah
CHAMPIONS would fare III at the hands OF
outside opponents, CHIEFLY because OF LuclI
lack of avOiTdupols. Accordingly, IN tlls
selection an effort has been made TO as
semble a group Of players who possess
the necessary weight
Backfield Easy.
The back field presents no serious d liz
| ficulty. Ashton at full, LeggrOan at halI,
| and Fitzpatrick at quarter have earned
their places by work that has been not
only conscientious and consistent, but az
times brilliant, stone OF Ogoeh IN s sI1t
particulars has played better game than
| GoOdspeed. but the latter longer eH-
| perience gives him the position TINS year
At center. the veteran White or Gran
ite has shown the best FORM Dotn IN pass
/ ing the ball and in defensive work sam
pie is clearly the best guard of the year.

/ Wheeling Of Salt Lake has been chosen
/ for several reasons. The team needs a
punter, and Wheeling has Outklcked ms
/ opponents on an average OK ten "a

( necessary height and weight ana ms ue-

Watson at Tackle.

Douglas, who has played fulback this

Two ends stand out prominently aDoV'
! their competitors. GALLAGHER Of salt Lake
undoubtedly the seasons fastest player
and Oldham of Ogden, whose fierce Low
diving tackles have aroused the enthu
siasm of the experts.
Second Team.
/ In the second team, there is a wealth o
football material which would give
good account of itself if properly coache
and conditioned.
