AN ALL STAR
FOOTBALL TEAM
Two Scout Organizations Are
Picked by Athletic Commit
tee For Good Players

BY the Games Committee, Troop
1t is an extremely hard task to
pick an all star football team from
the troops of the city, as only three
troops have played games, and some
of these boys who played were not
registered scouts, and can't be chos-
en- for the team. Everyone has their
favorite, and in the face of this the
team may not seem just to every
one.
We picked for Right End. Seigh-
man, of Troop IL. He is the smallest
player on the team, but stands above
any end in defensive work. He is
sure tackler and is good in break
ing up interference, and is quick to
pick the place a play is aimed at.
For mate to Seighman we have
chosen Seegel of Troop 6, for Left
End. He is only a shade poorer
than Seighman in defensive work
and is the best offensive end in
scout ranks. We place Snavely OF
Troop 6, at Right Tackle. Red is
quick to make a hole in line and is
always through and breaking up the
other sides plays.
At Left Tackle we place Bricker
of Troop II. He is a power on de-
fense and is always in the play, and
can always be relied on to have a
hole ready in the offensive.
We choose Uric of Troop 10 for
Left Guard. He is very heavy, be-
ing close to 200 pounds and it is is
a rare occasion when a play gains
through him.
For Right Guard we choose I'm
dercover of Troop 6. He is another
heavy boy and is also fine lad to
break up the plays of the other side.
At Center we place Sparrow of
Troop IL. He is fairly heavy and
can pass the ball good. This is not
his usual position, but we think he
would fill it to good advantage.
At Quarterback we place thinner
man of Troop 6. Zimmerman is a
fine field general and also a good
open field runner, and a sure tackler.
For Right Halfback we picked
Hamer of Troop 10. He is a good
line plunger, and good man on
the defense.
At Left Halfback we placed Goult
of Troop 6. He is the largest back
field man and is a fine line plunger
and is good on receiving forward
pdSS6S. I1S ely lNto q 6Nt
| past him.
For Fullback we choose Haehn-
len of Troop 6. He is a good line
plunger and an open field runner
and would handle the kicking and
/ forward passing He is in every
play and is a sure tackle. Haehnlen
| could also kick field goals.
Emmanuel and Weidman, who
| played with Troop 2, would be
| picked for the team, but they are
| not registered scouts.
We must not forget to call atten-
| ton to the members of the second
| team. All of whom have played eX-
| cellent ball, and deserve credit for
! their work.
