Is Right Guard
By WALTER H. EcKERsALL.

Buser, OF Wisconsin. is awarded tho
position Of right tackle on the honorary
eleven, and he also is made captain. AS
this Is Buser's third year on the Badger
eleven his experience and hard agrees
sive playing, especially in the Minne-
sofa contest, when he broke up play
after play by his effective smashing,
was about as good az any linenan has
cisplayed in years. He followed the ball
with uncrring accuracy, and always sx-
horted his teammates to greater efforts
as befitted an Inspiring leader.
Captain Rademacher, of Chicago -
rejected for the other tackle because OF
consistent work during his college ca
reer. Although not fiashy or snowy
player, the Maroon generally managed
TO mix in every play, and his deadly
tackling in the Minnesota and Illinois
, games was one OF the features. Like
Buscr, Rademacher has played three
years of football. and with this expert.
| ence he was a mighty hard man for an
opponent to handle, while his weight
| and activity made him the most reii-
able forward on the Maroon eleven.
Scruby, who was such an important
factor In all of Chicago's victories be-
cause OF his ability to kick goals from
| placement is placed at right guard,
| where he played a much better game,
| taking everything into consideration,
| than he did at end. The deliberation
| and coolness of this player in bootinS
the oval over the bar had much to do
| with his success. Although he played
guard in only two games. Scruby was
| familiar with the duties because he
played that position at preparatory
| school.
At Left Guard.
| Although he has played center all
| season, Barnstad, of Wisconsin, Is
placed at left guard. His work in the
Minnesota game, when he was out on
the wings on every play, doing hard
and effective playing and going down
the field under punts. was the feature
Of the line play of both elevens. Being
a big. powerful man, the Badger broke
through the Gopher interference several
times. and downed the fleet backs for
losses. He would be equally valuable
at guard or at center. ,,,
OF Minnesota, whose accurate passing
on various formations scarcely, could
have been improved upon. while his
doing considerable tackling made his
services invaluable. He Is dashinG,
aggressive player, and could be played
at any position in the line.

coming OF the field with tie score and
equal claim to the conference champion

| Tribute to "Keckie" Mol.
Moll's experience In quarterback play,
his punting and drop-kicking. and his
ability to call proper plays makes him
an important factor In any game. HIS
quickness in sizing up an opposine
teams attack is another strong feature
while his alertness as defensive full:
back saved the Badger goal on several
occasions. As forward passer, MOI
displayed great accuracy and speed 1r
delivering the ball to the proper man
and he always took advantage, Of
weather conditions. His place Will bt
hard to fill next season.
