Plays Through Every Game

Wayne selby, Omaha Highs little
quarterback, made novel, if not sub
stantial record this season by playing
through every game. This record is an
interesting one and viii so down in the
annals OF the gr!diron sport at the high
school as rare occurrence.
Usually the pilot man is injured or Is
replaced by someone else during the
season. But selby has played the quarter
position In every game, nine In all. This
means that he has been the fled gen
ersl for thirty-six quarters. ALLOWING
l2h minutes as an average quarter. selby
has piloted the team for $50 minutes or
q, 900 seconds.
Allowing that ninety plays are used by
one team IN an ordinary game, Selby
called OF 80 rlays this season When
one considers that each play must fol-
low the other In logical succession and
that a bad break or a costly tumble
means a probable score for the opposite
side. seiby's record Of holding his own
in every game is all the more a re-
mRrkRble one. This was his first year
as regular and although inexperienced
and at the same time the lightest man
on the team, he was able to make a
good showing. He starred in field gen
eralship especially ia the Sioux city
game on October %, and bis ability TO
use the right play at the right time was
