Had the Walrus been speaking at
about this time of year, he undoubted-
ly would have added all-star football
teams to that famous enumeration
which closes with cabbage and kings"
The hour for foisting mythical aggre-
cations on that portion of the public
which follows the pastime of the rib
field certainly has arrived Need
further justification be asked?
In arriving at this selection, no con-
scious attempt has been made to pick
the luminants of any particular team.
The writer has endeavored only to
choose an eleven which in his opinion
would send to glorious gridiron martyr
dom any organization with sufficient
temerity to oppose 1t.
The code demands that football ac-
tivity shall commence with center. Ida
hoans frankly refuse to use a telescope
when capable centers are sought. t'e-
lix Plastino, the Gem State pivot man.
outplayed his every opponent of the
season, passed consistently and always
followed the ball. He easily gets the
call over Dunlap of Washington State.
Gus Pope of Washington university
and Daigh of the oregon Aggies both
are great guards. Each has power,
bulk and aggressiveenss. With Plas-
tino's assistance they quickly would
discourage sma shes directed at the
center of the line.
Grimm of Washington university and
Fat Herreid of the w. S. c. Cougars
have played sensa tionally throughout
the season. Both keep their feet well.

common with Bartlett and Williams of
Oregon, another great pair of tackles.
they cannot be boxed out of plays
they believe in need of personal atten-
ton.
Few will deny Roy Hanley of Wash
ington State his right to a position at
end. This canny gentleman is an
astute judge of opposing forma tons, an
adrott handler of the forward pass and
dependable tackler To Anderson, q
fast and rangy Oregon university star
goes the other wing job
Bill Steers of Oregon. an admirable
field general, sterling punter and ex.
traordinary open field runner, is the
northwests most impressive quarter
back. Manerude, his own dimuntivt
but brilliant team mate is perhaps his
ablest rival.
Gerlough OF Idaho and ellis ot
Washington State are the writer's
choice for the halfback position Ger
Tough, after he recovered from an early
season injury, proved a consistent
ground gamer and defensive Gibraltar
while ellis undoubtedly was harder Il
stop than any other single unit of the
Cougar attack.
Capable backs were as numerous
that any selection seems unjust, but
Washington university's -remarka BILE
line crushers, Whitcomb and Irving OF
Idaho, Jenne and Moran of Washing
ton State, and Lodell of o. A. C. hard
~ can be considered as valuable as the
two men chosen.
Powell of Oregon Aggies receives tbs
fullback position, with Huntington OF
the Eugene eleven his closest competi-
tor for the honor. All-northwesterr
OFFICIALS? unhesitatingly, George Var,
nell and E. A. Hinderman of Spokane
Nothing is missed when they work to
