HERALD SELECTS
ALL-STATE TEAM
GRAND FORKS HERALD PICKS A
NORTH DAKOTA ALL-sTATE
FOOTBALL TEAM-THREE EACH
SELECTED FROM A. c. AND
r. c. TEAMS.

selection only three of the North Da-
kota college teams were considered
In the eleven chosen by The Herald,
five players were picked from the
university squad and three each from
the Agricultural college and Fargo coll
lege teams. The Herald's team and
reasons for it's choice follow:
Halfbacks, Thompson and Gullicl-
son, u; fullbaclS, Bayard, F. c.; CEN
ter, Grant, A. c.; guards, Mcknight
and Harris, IT,; quarterback, Cave,
A. c.; tackles, Barnes, IT,, and SchFoe-
der A. c.; ends, Slingsby and Spal-
ding, #. G.
To pick an all-state, team is q hard
task. and sometimes injustice Is un-
Intentionally dealt out to players of
merit. The Herald has watched the
progress of the three college teams of
the state closely, however, and the
above lineup, in the opinion of a num-
Der Of the enthusiasts Of this city, at
least, forms team which is the best
the state could have this year out of
the university, Agricultural college and
Fargo college teams.
Thompson at left halfback is =
on the spectacular order for two years
and seldom this season, when called
upon to carry the bah, has Thompson
failed to negotiate for a few yards at
least, and more often he made nearer
a dozen. Defense is also one of
Thompson's specialties, although HIS
offensive powers are SO good that his
clever tackling is underestimated by
the majority OF the football followers.
Gullickson at the other halfback is
also choice without any shadow of a
doubt Gullickson is another sensa-
tional player and his returning of
punts. his generalship in the field and
his remarkable speed when carrying
the ball made him a backfeld man to
be feared, The writer thinks how
ever, that his place is at halfback in
stead OF at quarter as he has shown
up well at this place and would have
more chance to do better work on Of
Tense. Gullickson is also a first class
man at forward passing.
Bayard OF Fargo college is the
choice for fullback over Stack, al
though the margin is small Bayard
does not play fullback regularly, but
his work on line smashing makes him
a first-class man for this place.
Grant of the A. C. seems to have it
on the other men of the state for cen
ter. Grant is a hard. fast charged,
sure passer and has nose for the
ball. recovering half a dozen fumbles
in the university game and proving
strong defensive man.
Cave. the A. G. quarterback, has
been chosen for that place on account
of his generalship and speed on the
offense. Gullickson, If left at quarter.
would easily surpass him, but Gull
lickson's change to halfback leaves
Cave the honors over Fargo college
Caves work In the university game
was one OF the strong features the uni
versity had to work against and sew.
eral times he came remarkably near
getting away from, the field fol
Mcknight for left guard seems in
evitable. Meningitis work In the A.
G. game was especially good, the big
guard getting down time after time
and getting the man on punts and
besides his opening Of holes
on the offense for line smashes or
fakes.
Outside of the A. c. game Mcknight
did not play stellar ball, but he work
ed steadily all season. He should be
q first rate man next season.
Harris, the choice for right guard,
Is a new man at football. Big. and
fast, he charges on par with Barnes.
and his defense work all season was
one of the university lines strong
points. He, at one time during the
season was outplayed, and against his
North Dakota opponents especially he
made his best showing.
To select the tackles was a very easy
matter as Barnes and Schroeder shone
head and shoulders above any collie
giate men in either North Dakota or
Minnesota with the possible exception
Of Leighton of Carleton. Barnes kick
ing ability marks him as the best along
this line in the state. His place kicks
of thirty-five and forty two yards In
The A. G. game were good and his diffi-
cult goal that day was a fine point. |
Barnes has never been outplayed az
tackle, although Schroeder, his run
ling mate in the All-state gave him
{ hard rub.

The selection OF the ends was a hard |
natter. Schmidt and Bulge both |
played slower bali this year than ever
before in their college football career.
