guard OF the season. J. Taylor of Ohio is

replaces Smith in picking the Icon

pendability, rather than for any bril-
lance Duke Dunno Of Michigan and
AcCaw OF Indiana are worthy of some
mention.
DEPLER CLASS
AT CENTER.
There is only one answer to the center
proposition and that is Capt Johnny
Depler Of Illinois. He stands out like
q long skirt" at the Follies. He gets
the Job on both the AllWestern and All
conference outfits. Nemecek Of Ohio
ana Bunge OF Wisconsin are good centers,
out they lack the finish that made Depler
one OF the besc men in the country.
Quarter Backs Of class were as plen-
tiful In the Middle West as icicles In the
Arctic. Naming the winner for the all
star team is a difficult lob Recause
Of his forward passing ability and his
knack OF running with the ball. Aubrey
Deyine. OF Iowa, is picked for the All
Western berth. Devine is a rare player
aud clever field general. Bob Fletcher
or Illinois Outranks Devine In Just one
particular Fletcher's handling of his
team is uncanny- As Fielding H Yost
said Of him. He never does ANYTHING
wrong Devine IS not a numbskull at
handling his team by any means. how
ever, and In mechanical ability he ex-
cells Fletcher 1t Will later be explained
why Fletcher gets the quarter back Job
on the All-Conference eleven.
Ranking only a step behind Devine
and Fletcher is "HOge" Workman Of
Ohio. Workman is probably the best of
the three at hurting forward passes and
his long heaves were a potent factor In
the success Of the Ohio team this year.
But Workman is not the field general that
Fletcher and Devine are and lacks the
finish that comes with experience Next
year he should give them all battle
Brandy. of NOtre Dame; Mathys, OF In
diana: Captain Arntson, of Minnesota.
and Davey Of Wisconsin are other good
quarter backs.
GIPP GREATEST
OF HALF. BACKS.
GIpp and Stinchcomb Boy, what n
pair OF half backs these athletes provide
for the all Westernl Gipp is probably
the greatest half back In the country
this year. He can run with the bail
dAVuAu the enQ Or plunge through the
Ane; he can heave forward passes a
yard or a mile as the occasion demands 4:
he can boot the ball over for drop
kick from anywhere near the ifty-yard
line. and his punting is a delight to all
who see IL. Stinchcomb IS only a shade
behind Gipp in his ability TO carry the
ball and he owns a wise little noodle
that made him the real brains Of Jack
Wilces championship OUTFIT
Gipp, OF course, cannot get on the all
Conference team, so for the hrst time
in this an-star symposium a player is
switched out Of the position he has
played all season. Except Stinchcomb.
Inere are no really outstanding half
backs in the big Ten" Aubrey DeYine
however, is as good at half for this
eleven, and Bob Fletcher given an honor
be richly deserves by being named as the
al-COnference quarter
With Gipp and Stinchcomb crowd

Mohardt and Barry Of Notre Dame;
Hartley OF Nebraska, Elliott OF Wiscon-

Michigan snd Oss OF Minnesota, are wor-

bad not injuries prevented his playing up
