JOKE SEASON HERE

Following the close Of the football
season comes the annual silly season,
when the coaches and critics OF the
game select the "All Star" teams.
South Dakota has it's share OF these
and are about as big a joke as any
where else. No one man can judge &C
curately a players worth, as the
chances are good that he sees hin in
but one game during the season. How
ever, these line-ups are interesting and
no doubt in a good many cases the
best man is picked.
State College football players have
Jared very we'll at the hands OF the
critics, especially Abbott and Sheehan
at center and quarterback. These two
men have been picked by practically
every critic. Carl Johnson has been
named on three teams, and Caldwell,
Chappell and Peterson have been Sc
lected by one or more critics. Miller,
one of the best ends the college has
had in some years, failed to get a men,
ton that we noticed.
Coach Ewing Of the State College
has picked the following All State"
team:
Center-Abbott, State College.
r. E.-Woodward, Dakota Wesleyan.
l.. E.-Sherwood, Huron College.
r. T.-Alfs, Yankton College.
l.. T.-Walters, Dakota Wesleyan.
R. G.-Anderson, S. d. School of
Mines.
l.. G.-Benz, Northern Normal.
@. B.-Sheehan, State College.
l.. H.-Stevenson, Yankton College.
F. Jefferson, State College.
r. H.-Coldwell, State College.
The following selection by a Mitchell
writer, after consultation with differ.
ent coaches and officials, is about as
fair as any team we have cen
All-South Dakota-Ends, Chappell,
State College, and Roberts, Huron;
tackles, Walters, Wesleyan, and Ahlfs,

leader of the miners was n Of
the heaviest backfield players in the
state. showed wonderful speed and
could punch an opposing line for con-
tinual gains. His play would supple
ment that of Stevenson to a nicely.
'sheehan of the State College, must
be given the call for quarterback out
of a field of three good candidates. His
g~eneralship would give him the place,
if nothing else, but coupled with his
ability to gain ground, to sift through
an open field, to kick and to pass the
ball, he stands alone. Roberts OF
Huron, would be second choice for the
niche, but with the dearth Of real and
stellar ends his speed and ability to
drop kick could be used at one OF the
wings, Capt. Sherwood of Huron, play
ed a smashing game all season and
with his speed and shifty style would
he ideal at fullback. With Sheehan,
Borsch, Stevenson and Sherwood in
the back field, the repertoire of the
team would be complete in speed, kick
ing and all the features of the open
game. Cap. Chappell Of Brookings,
! was the best wing in the state this
season through his ability to receive
forward passes and go down on punts,
and he is given a place.
For guards, Robertson of Wesleyan,
would easily qualify. His experience
at tackle, his defensive ability and his
size are factors. Andrews of Huron, is
big and strong and i~nvulnerable near
the center of the line. Benz, Of Aber-
deem, could easily be chosen for a
guard position, but he did not have the
opportunity to show his caliber that
the other pair has had.
Because of it's victory owe State on
November 20, the palm of the cham
pionship must go to Yankton. The
Congregationalists probably averaged
stronger than any eleven in South Da-
kota. State played the best college
football of the season, but crumpled in
the decisive game and must rank be-
hind Yankton. Huron would qualify
third, while Wesleyan finishes it's most
disastrous season of several years in
last place"

The critic says:

Mines; fullDacK. r1uioA
The critic says:
Selection of gridiron prima donna
for all-star elevens has ever been an
arbitrary task, dependent largely upon
he writer's point of view. Hence IN
this attempt to choose a team from the
college elevens of South Dakota, it Is
the purpose, so far as possible TO enlist
the criticism of unbiased judges OF
football players.
THE foregoing team was chosen after
consultation with coaches from differ
ent schools in the state, and w. II.
Msenman, of Sioux City, who has seen
every college eleven in South Dakota
in action and has officiated in many
games. 1t is believed that this eleven,
so chosen, could win more games than
any other possible selection, under the
present rules and conditions of foot
ball.
ANY observer of football in the
Coyote state the past season would
unhesitatingly choose four men. They
are Abbott of State; Walters Of Yves
leyan, and Stevenson and Ahfs OF
Yankton. Abbott, the wonderful GEN.
ter, developed by Coach Harry Ewing
at Bookings, outclasses any other
man in the state at his position. He
u~tilizes the strategic position Of center
on defense, is in every play and withal
is a good passer.
"All honors must be given the two
tackles. Walters aud Ahlfs. The Wes'
leyan captain led a mediocre eleven
this season, but his strength and az
g~ressiveness braced the Methodist line
to a wonderful degree. Walters is
probably the coolest man under fire in
the state, remarkably like Capt. Brown
of the State ~" in this particular
Ahlfs this season showed the strength
that has characterized his play in for
mer seasons and stands head and
shoulders above any other nan in the
line.
Stevenson, of Yankton, the last OIL
the quartet, is easily the best open
field runner in a South Dakota college
His quickness to find openings, his
sure-footedness aud his consistence
are not equaled. The other halfbacl

ERROR IN THE PRIMARY LAW

The secretary OF state will hold on
one phase Of the new primary law that
the impossible will not be demanded
of judicial candidates. One phase of
the law provides that no petitions
shall be signed more than ninety DAYS
prior TO the date of the primary cleo
ton; and another provision requires
candidates for circuit judge to file their
petitions with the secretary of state
not less than ninety days prior to the
same date, which of itself is a mani
fest im~possibility. Mr.. Richards, who
drew the act, says this was caused by
error in transacribing, but it is in the
law just the same.
The secretary holds that he will ac-
cept and file petitions of candidates for
circuit judge, even though the sigma
ture dates show that they were secur-
ed upon the petitions more than ninety
days before the primaries, which will
allow the filings to be made within the
required time.
Another feature Of that law ruled
upon by the attorney general holds
that when irregular returns have been
made of the registration books on the
part of the local precinct registration
officers the county auditor may send
the books back to the precincts for cor
rection, so long as it can be done in
time to get them back to the auditor
before the date of closing the books
the last day of December.
