CENTRAL HAS NINE \:
: ON ALL-HIGHTEAM
Outsiders to Land on AlStar Schoolboy Eleven.
Many Good Players Developed in Season.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

The All.Eigh School eleven of 1911
presents one of the most formidable ag-
gregatiors that has ever represented
Washington. The teams Of some years
back might have given the present COM
blnation q mighty battle, but in prac-
tically every department Of play the
- men chosen this season would have as
serted their superiority over the players
who composed the 1910 star team.
Every man, in the series of games
which did not culminate until the SUI
preme game on Friday had friends and
many many Of these had admirers who be-
included on this mythical team. To suit
all would, of course, be impossible, SO

pass the oval and attend to the one in

In turning in a tackle and In getting
up to the ball on punts Dyson was
easily the best of the year and one
of the best turned out In scholastic
ranks in this city for some moons. The
fact that he was the only Central
player to leave the field on account of
injuries In the big game cannot rob
him OF the high honors.
