doubtless largely to blame in that re.
spect.
1t is difficult to make up this clever
without including Cave of the A. G.
who, without doubt, was the best dro[
kicker of the season, and whose punt
Ing was as good as that of any other
player in the states Nevertheless, his
defensive work was not quite sc
strong and aggressive as that of some
others, and therefore he is placed up
on the second team. While his po-
sition upon the offense during the sea-
son has been at the quarterback po-
sition, his physical makeup and his
work upon defense would undoubtedly
make him a strong man at the end
position. Therefore, in view of the
fact that the quarterback position
upon the second team must go TO DON
ovan Of the School of Science, Cave
is placed at the end of the second
team. Donovan was one OF the gest
quarters in the state this year, and
had he been upon one of the three
strong teams, would undoubtedly have
made a record for himself. Neverthe-
less his work was of such high class
that he is entitled to the position Of
captain and quarterback upon the Sec
ond eleven.
Injuries Bar Rueber.
The remainder Of the players upon
the second eleven were all strong men,
and the elimination of them from the
first eleven is had with some misgiv-
ings. Rueber of the A. c.. would un-
dcubtedly be entitled to one OF The
tackle positions upon the first eleven
had he been able to play the entire
season, but unfortunate injuries pre-
vented II. Horner of Fargo college is
given the position of center upon the
second team, and the only thing that
kept him from position upon the first
eleven is because Of his lack of weight
and strength.
The unpleasantness resulting from
the University Fargo College game,
simply emphasized the necessity of Sc
Letting officials with sufficient back
bone to control the game, and everyone
in 1t, the effect of such officials being
plainly shown In the absence of muck

MeConvilIe's Views
agree with Mr.. Richardson in the
selection of the first three men on the
team, but from there on would make
several changes. Mcnamara is given
center because he is an aggressive play
er, has the weight and strength the
position requires. In his prep football
he played center, so by shifting a
guard to center the man taking the po-
sition is not unfamiliar with it.
Glasgow given guard over Edwards
because he is more aggressive player,
has more weight Captain elect
Schroeder had not much more than an
even break with Glasgow in the F. c.
A. G. game, more ground being gained
over Schroeder in that game than over
Glasgow, and Glasgow advancing the
ball nearly as much as his opponent.
Glasgow has place kicking ability and
in my opinion should not be left Off
the team.
Captain Barnes Of the University is
without doubt the man for the other
tackle position. Slingsby is chosen at
end over Bulge of the university for
better defensive play, his ability to get
down the field under punts, and also
the excellent manner in which he han
dies forward passes and receives
punts. He has place kicking ability
as shown in the jamestown college
game. and he also plays a very nice
game at quarter, showing good judg-
ment, and running his team rapidly.
The back field made up of Gullick-
son, Bayard, Thompson and Spalding
seem to be the men in the right posi-
tion.
