ALL-STAR LOCAL FOOTBALL
ELEVEN TO BE PICKED
Saint Vlncent's Clever GrdIron Ag-
gregatlon to Be Pitted Against
Selected Team for Tour
nament of Roses

Owing to the excessive guarantee re-
quired by the Denver university foot
ball team to meet the Saints at the
Pasadena Tournament Of Roses, it was
decided at a meeting held yesterday
morning by the officials of the rose
tournament and Coach Rheinschild,
who represented the st. Vincent uni
Yersity, that q local tar aggregation
would be a more feasible proposition.
An all-star combination, composed
of such men as the Mitchell brothers,
Case, the crack center who was picked
for the all-Southern California eleven;
Silent Of Stanford, Galley, now playing
with the Castaways but who previous
ly starred in the American game with
the University of Southern California;
Decius and 1Iches. both Of U. S. c., and
| Gelssler, combined with other local
stars, should prove formidable op-
ponents for the clever Saints.
In matching two local teams for the
big game of the season the managers
are playing on the safe side of the gate
receipts and are giving the public a
contest equally as good as IL the
mountaineers had journeyed the many
miles from Denver to buck the Saint
line.
/ Coach Rheinschld figures the team
work of his eleven will prove to great
advantage for the all-star aggregation
| to overcome and that victory will not
desert the Catholic eleven. Now that
this team, which is conceded to be the
greatest exponents of the American
game of football in Southern Califor-
MIA, Is about to make their last ap-
pearance before the public, their
coach's opinion of the merits of the
individual players should prove OF IN
terest.
Pays Tribute to Players
Rheinschild gives the following trib-
ute to each of the huskies that have
followed his advice throughout their
| successful season:
Speaking of Gage at left end, he
said: Gage played on local grammar
school teams and had part of a sea-
sons experience with the Los Angeles
high school team before coming TO st.
Vincent. This season he developed into
good defensive player and with an
other years coaching should, be as
good as the best.
"Captain Murray had played two
seasons on the Saint team and was a
good man when l was given charge
of the team Murray is great at open
ing holes In the line and getting down
on punts. at which he has never been
exceled in the south.
"Teaford who made such good show
ing at left guard. was practically new
at the game until I started to train
him last fall. His natural football in
stinct made him an apt pupil at the
game. He is strong on the defense and
never loses sight of the man with the
ball.
'T,ewis was developed from the Sec
ond team of year ago and but for his
lack of weight would have made one
of the greatest centers on the coast
this year. I expect him to develop
next season, when he will be heavier
into a great center. He is always
everywhere that he should be on the
field and is strong at downing MS
man. -.
hall for the first ti--'e this season. and
he certainly more than made good, He
was second to none at the position OF
right guard this fall in Southern CALI
fornia and although mostly always
outweighed by his opponents, gains
through his section of the line were
rare.
Is an Ideal Player
"Rhenischild at right tackle is an
ideal player for that position, as ne IS
everywhere pulling and hghtlng TO
make yardage for his backs. This was
his third year at right tackle Tor tne
Saints and previous to that he mad
PLAYED with Polytechnic high school
and Occidental.
"Neighbors, who was picked for the
| All-Southern California team, failed to
make one of the Los Angeles high
school team the year before, but L
thought he was of the right kind of
material and with the right kind of
coaching the youngster developed into
one of the most consistent uphters that
has booted the pigskin at Fiesta park
this season. This combined with his
good defensive and offensive playing
made him great help to the team.
Murray at quarter is another that
received his first introduction to the
game this fall owing to objection to
the game on the part of his parents.
Murray developed fast into heady
player and his passing the ball to the
backs was of the gllt-edge variety. In
the back field he seldom fumbled the
punts.
Casey came from the Pomona high
school three years ago and ever since
has been a strong factor in the Saints
lineup. He runs as good an interfer-
ence as have seen in the east or west.
His carrying of the ball is not spec
tacular, but is of the never failing
yard gaining kind.
! "Tortez made history on the Sher-
man Indian team before coming to St.
Vincent. / class his running with the
