in choosing the above teams" says
Coach Ewing, 81 have been guided
largely by the consistency and adapt
ability of the men to give a good &C
count of themselves under all condi-
tons. ! have seen all the college
teams in action during one or more
games yet there is a chance that some
players may have had an off-day or
their only good day of the season at
the particular time | saw them in &C.
ton. I believe the aggregation | have
selected would be the strongest team
as a whole that could be put together.
abbott of State College, for the
third consecutive year has the call at
center over all other men in the state.
He is a strong heady player, fast in
getting down the field under kicks,
and has a knack of showing up at the
right place at the right time. Nelson
of State and Lyle Chase OF Wesleyan
are placed at the guards because of
their strength and aggressiverass. Mel
son, who Is n Of the best linesmen
ever developed at State College has
finished his third year of college foot
ball. Meigs of Huron deserves honor
able mention for his aggressive play.
ing during the season.
"Dickey of Huron, and Weber of
State are the best bets at tackles.
Dickey, while being used at fullback
this year to bolster up Huron's back
field. would find his natural position at
tackle. With his strength and speed
he would prove a hard man to handle.
Weber at the other tackle is easily the
best man In the state. his size and
build and speed making him a danger
GUS man at offense and a hard man to
get around on defense.
"Chase Of Wesleyan was by far the
best end in the state. He was par
ticularly strong on defense, his charg-
ing tactics frequently crumpled inter
ference and at the same time dumped
the man carrying the ball. Johnson Of
Yankton while not playing consistent
ly this year, has played some excep-
tional games and is entitled to a place.
At quarter. Sheehan of State Col.
lege clearly has the edge on them all.
Naturally combative In temperament,
he is withal cool, heady. resourceful.
and runs his team well. While he was
not up to form in the seasons Anal
game, his work as a whole vas far and
above that of any other quarter in the
state. Hine of Wesleyan deserves
mention. He Is a valuable man to his
team by reason of his wonderful for.
ward passing ability.
"At the halves, Caldwell Of State
and Stevenson of Yankton would make
the best combination. Stevenson is a
star with his shifty. si~de-stepping,
snakelike runs. Caldwell with more
ground gaining smash than any other
player in the state. with endurance
and ability to keep his feet and shake
of tackles. Is one of the most valuable
men on States team. Payne of Wes-
leyan at fullback should get away
good. and while not playing full except
on defensive. he has the slam and
steam necessary to carry him through
the opponents line"
