HUSKERS ON VALLEY TEAM
Seven Selected for Mythical ALL
Missouri Valley Team.
HALIIGAN BEST IN THE WEST
: Captain Vic Cream of the Valley
and Greatest Lineman in West,
and ms Good as tu the
land.
+. $. HUNTER.

Due to the wonderful showing made by
the Cornhusker foot ball team this season
of 1914 the Missouri Valley conference for
the second time steps up to the front rank
and occupies as bright a spot in the
calcium as the Western conference or
any other circle of teams around these
parts. Even the Jayhawk, Nebraska s
most hated rival, must admit that the
Huskers are there when It comes to hold
ing UP the honor of the Missouri Valley
conference.
For four times now Nebraska has won
the Missouri Valley conference champion
ship and this year for the second time
took into camp two schools asserted to be
of greater caliber than any Missouri val
ley schools. In 1918 Minnesota and Iowa
fell before Nebraska and the Huskers
had a claim on the western champion
ship then. This year the Michigan Aggies
and Iowa succumbed to Nebraska ana
for the second time the Huskers can hold
nm their own in asserting western SUI
periority.
seven Huskers Selected
CO n Is only natural that the team
which SO conclusively proves It's superior
itv i'm the Missouri Valley should Ilhu i's
men on the mythical All-Missourl NaheV
team. CHANGING over the Nebraska hneop
hut four positions can be founo "nicn
would be strengthened by men from other
Missouri Valley teams. The other seven
are clearly Nebraska positions
of course the first selection is Haliigan'
c,artain vic is unquestionably the class
of the valley. He Is the greatest dinenah
IN the west and as good as, any In the
land and he is a sure and STEADY place
kicker. He is also sure to be an all
western man. He must go In at lett
tackle.
Lacking toward the backfield Potter is
first choice for quarter. He Is heady field
general. runs his team well, runs ths
ball equally well and is a wonder at
heaving forward passes. Chamberlain
and Rutherford are easy first choices
for the half back positions In the minds
of most Nebraskans they are all-western
men and It is certain they are all-valley
men.
UhI mt Fullback.
At fullback Nebraska must yield.
Neither Delametre nor Doyle have the
ability of Uhl of Ames. Uhl is plunger
and is a whirlwlnd on the defense. He
is a good first choice for fullback,
Warren Howard. of course, gets the
left end. Howard is a tower OF strength
on defense. fast on interference and a
marvel at plucking forward passes out
of the air. He is also a good, consistent
punter.
The other end must be given to Jones
of Ames. Jones plays a fast game and
is especially good at breaking through
the line before the play lie started by the
opposing quarter.
Clay Tigers Candidate.
Clay, captain of the Missouri team, gets
the right tackle job. Clay is far from a
heavy man, but he is so 1.-THE and quick
that he, makes trouble for the beef.est Of
llnemen.
Abbott of Nebraska is the best guard
in the valley. His work last year and
this proves that. Working quickly and
smoothly the ordinary spectator fails to
sec the effectiveness OF Abbott's work.
but close perception VIII show that once
in a game is all an opposing back can
push through Abbott.
The other guard goes to Strother OF
Kansas. Strother is not particularly
strong but he is the next best bet after
Abbott.
Cameron Best Center.
cameron is the DcSt center IN the VAL
ley. Jones of Ames holds a mighty rep
utation. but Cameron made that husky
farmer look sick by constantly breaking
through when Nebraska and Ames played.
Cameron could undoubtedly hold up his
Dan with any center in the country.
On the second team the four Nebras-
ltans who could not be given places on
the first team will be found. Ames gets
three men on the second eleven, Kansas
three and Missouri one.
