The problems confronting coaches
and players this year have been many
and for this reason picking an All
New Mexico team is a task. The new
game has had a considerable lntlu-
ence in making and unmaklng stars
and all-round versatility, has intlu-
enced me in my selections. CHOOSING
an all-star team is matter OF per
sonal opinion, and one who attempts
it is open to much criticism. In max
inr nv selections | am governed by
nersonal observations OF all the teams
in the territory. For certain positions
there was a wealth of material, Whlle
for others there was no one Whc
shone especially. The latter IS true
of the guards and quarterback posi-
tion. The tackles on all the teams
we're especially strong, while all the
teams had strong back fields.
Speed is supposed to be the chlel
factor in this years game, but even
with the open play the heavy man
does not come amiss il he can move
fast
n NJ Nj. l. and A. g. NJ. are in a
class by themselves this year, while
the school of Mines and the university
bring up the rear. The military team
from Roswell was far ahead of all the
others. though the closing game with
the Aggies seemed to belle TINS state
ment Without disparaging the game
fight the A. & NJ. team put up against
the cadets, one who had seen the lat-
ter.in her games with the School OF
Mines and the university would hardly
have recognized the team as the same
which PLAYED Thanksgiving. the long
trin and a three weeks lay-oft seemed
to have taken all the ginger out OF the
cadets and their game was the weak
est of any they played the Whole sea-
son.
With the exception of the territorial
university, all the teams were stronger
this wear than last due TO the fact that
regular coaches were employed py the
schools II is the prevalent opinion
that the varsity showed poor Judg-
ment in cancelling her schedule. ihe
