The melancholy days have come
when all sport experts are busy max
ing up can" football teams Of every
sort. They have given US "All Amer
ican," "Au Eastern" Cali Western"
"An High School," and "All" teams
Of every description, but they have
neglected to furnish us with an Gall
Minnesota Team" conversational.
The Herald is an expert In every line
of human activity and is exporter in
sport than any other drumming q coun-
try newspaper being the greatest
sporting proposition on EARTH so it
hys to the rescue with an "All Mime

position.
The position of guard does not re-
quire any quick thinking, all it needs
