The annual joke perpetrated by the
Des Moinese football expert" on the
trusting football fans Of the state was
pulled" Sunday, when the "all-star'
Iowa high school team was announced.
This team, 80 the expert" declares,
was chosen after having received rec
concentrations from coaches and Off
Gals turnout the state. It is remark
able how many coaches and officials
acknowledge the. superiority Of East
and West Des iMoines players, practi-
cally all Of which are to be found ON
the first, second Or third honor teams.
OF course, every one should know that
1t Is an absolute mpossibility to select
an "all,star2 team from the state elev-
ems this year, owing to the close COM
petition, the, great number of men to be
considered. and the fact that the more
representative teams did not meet.
Shoemake, OF Oskaloosa, gets an enc
position on the first team, but 1t is not
likely that his Nselection was on the
strength Of his showing in the Marsh
alltown game.
Marshalltown gets one place on the
second team. one on the third, and two
men are given honorable mention,
along with some thirty to fifty others.
link is placed at tackle on the second
eleven; Hurlburt is placed a half back
on the third eleven, and Dixon and

do not deserve the place over either

three honor teams whoIdo not have the
call over. pixonror- Miller. For some
reason the. :critics'l did not see "Ty"

orable mention, altho the local fullback
has few equals in the state.

Fidler, of Cedar Rapids. in his list, as
