COMPARING Mr.. McRride's selections
with the State Journals teams which
were published more than a week be-
fore the close of the season, 1t is found
that seven men were given the same
berths in both sections. sixteen OF the
first and second teams appeared in both
picks and twenty out of the entire thir
ty-three men are in both myth camps.
Considering the fact that Mr.. Nc
Bride didn't consider either the EN-
poria Normal team or the Aggies. he
bulls eye so accurately. However.
picking an all-state team from afar Is
a great deal like shooting ducks at long
range on a cold day-a few stray shots
are inevitable.
The Stray Ones.
In Mr.. McBride's bagging these strays
are undoubtedly in the selection OF
Langhoff over Bearg for fullback and
Wolf for first team guard-s There is no
doubt but that Captain 1anghoff. of
St. Marys, is wonderful fullback.
His playing was spectacular throughout
the season. and was made more so be-
cause of the fact that he was one hun
dred per cent better than any of his
teammates. But he didn't oppose the
strong teams that Bearg did. and it is
most probable that he would not have
made the showing Bearg did. even if
he had. There was not a single Wash
burn game in which Bearg was not one
of the most consistent ground gamers,
and he played his best against Wash
burns strongest opponents. all of which
ought to land him a berth If anything
would.
The actual football ability of Wolf
would undoubtedly enable him to earn
first team position, but it SEEING
hardly fair to give him thi. place be-
cause of the fact that he only PLAYED
in a part of one game during the en-
tire season.
TrObert is selected as Captain of the
Mcbride team and Washburn is given
nine places on the three elevens The
College of Einporia takes second place
in point of numbers. having six men
among the lucky SO. Friends Is given
four places, along with Cooper.
