SOLOMON WIPED
 0fF THE MAP
No Lives Are Lost But All Lose Personal Effects--Safety
 Also Destroyed.

Nome, oct. lO.--The first ref ugees arrived at Nome at; noon yesterday from Solomon City and they report that the camp is wip- ed out. The heavy waves from the ocean wrecked all the build ings and swept the prosperous little town off the map.
 The town of Safety, formerly on the beach, is now two miles from the former beach line.
 The railroad terminal buildings al solomon were among the first to be demolished by the storm.
 Six women. two children and he crew of large dury were the IaSi to leave the stricken city. They remained until d. m.. but when the waters about the city swept across and left the wreck age an island. they made for the shore in he inky darkness and landed safely. The people aban- doned everything but few cloth eS and some provisions. which was carried back from the beach and out of the way of the storm. At the time the last boat left the place the waters about the wreck age was a raging sea.
 So far as is known not life was lost al Solomon, the inhab- itantS early realizing that they could save but little and must bend all their efforts tu saving their lives.

AN ALL ARKANSAS
 FOOTBALL TEAM
From the Hendrix Bull Dog.

As an indication that the cold weather has not killed the football : pug we have been asked by some of the more rabid followers of the grid iiron sport to name our selection of an all-state team. Despite the fact that va realize that no two men ever agree on any kind of sporting prop osition, from the best bait for mud eat to the choice of an all-American football team, nevertheless, we are willing to oblige our friends by sub hitting the following mythological eleven which, in our opinion, could easily take the measure of any like organization in the state:
 Left end-Croswell, Henderson.
 Left tackle-Estes, Arkansas.
 Left Wingfeld, Henderson.
 'Center-Posey, Henderson.
 Right guard-B. Poland, Ouachita.
 Right tackle-Bland, Henderson.
 Right end-Harton, Hendrix
 Quarterback-Coo Arkansas.
 Left lf-back-Holmes, Hendrix.
 Right half-back-May, Arkansas.
 Fullback-Jackson, Ouachita.
 One is confronted with a problem at the very outset in the selection of a pair of ends. The season failed to develop a single great end. In fact there was only one end in the game this season who played that position last year-Lewis of Ouachita, who with Kinney of Arkansas and l.. Wade of Henderson, played consist ent but not brilliant game all year. So it is necessary to shift two veter- ans with end experience out of the backfield and place them on the wings, Croswell of Henderson and Harton of Hendrix getting the call. Both started their football careers at end and neither has forgotten the defen- sive tricks of the trade.
 At tackle the selection is relatively easy, Estes of Arkansas and Captain Bland of Henderson topping the field. Other strong tackles were Wingfeld of Henderson, Butler Poland of Ouachita and Young of Hendrix. The
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-12-26

two former have been shifted to the guards on this mythical team where their 190 pounds avoirdupois each would prove bulwark hard to pene- trate. The guard material was good this year but none of the regulars at this position showed sufficient strength to get place over Wingfeld and To- land. Muller of Henderson, Mills of Arkansas and Bishop of Hendrix were the best guards in the state
 The center position goes to Posey of Henderson by virtue of his weight, experience and head. A bad knee destroys his effectiveness in some de. gree and many would prefer Valen- tine of Arkansas or Shinn of Hendrix to the burly Henderson passer.
 Cook of Arkansas has very little competition from his brother quarter backs over the state. His bunting, passing and prop-kicking raises him easily above his fellows. In addition he was a great broken field runner, but in this department he was rivalled by Legg of Hendrix, who was also a great returner of punts. Jamison of 'Ouachita and Goodgame of Henderson were both field generals of type hard to find in college football, but not brilliant individual players.
 The half-back positions go to Cap tain May of Arkansas and Captain Holmes of Hendrix, although Parch- man of Arkansas, Wade of Henderson and Abrahams of Ouachita may with some justice dispute their claim to the title May has been frequently mentioned as an all-Southwestern se- lection, and although somewhat off form this year, no one will dispute the big Swede's claim to being the best half back in the state. Holmes of Hendrix is just as big, somewhat faster and almost as good as the Ar kansas Captain. Wade of Henderson would be great relief man for such a back-feld. Parchman and Abra- hams are first year men who will shine next year in college football as they have in high school football in the past.
 The fullback position is open to debate between Jackson of Ouachita, Rudd of Arkansas and Moores of Hen derson, the substitute back field man who leaped into the calcium toward
The log cabin Democrat., 1913-12-26

the close of the season. Jackson gets the call because he is heavier than Moores and faster than Rudd. In ad- dition he is probably the most accu- rate forward passer in the state Both he and Cook are southpaws and their left hand shots would worry the defense.
 This team would be splendid con- bination of weight, speed and experi- ence. The line from end to end weighs 1855 pounds and six of the seven men are reterans. Both ends are dash men and it would take an unusual heaver to get the ball out of the reach of either man. The back field would be equally versatile at plunging the line and running the ends. Cook weighs only 135, but the other three will average 1s0. Cook and Harton would do the bunting for this mythical team, Cook the drop kicking and Jackson the passing.
 One significant feature of the team IS that eight of the eleven men are either former captains or leaders of next years teams.
