the various coaches in the Kansas Con-
ference the sport editor of The State !
! Journal has picked three All Confer |
ence teams. OF course there are a |
| number of sideIine authorities who |
= possibly will not agree with the differ |
| ent selections but the men, who have
I been officiating in the various games |
and the coaches ought to know who
/ the best players are and the ones that |
| deserve honor places ON the mythical /
| eleven.
| On the first team the ends are |
/ Kelly of st. Mary's and Harr of the |
| College of Emporia. These two boys
are without doubt in a. class by them |
! selves as wing men and most all of the |
I coaches were unanimous. Harr kicks |
! well and plays fine defensive ball, |
! also comes back and carries the ball |
for big gains Kelly has not allowed |
| a visiting team to run punt back on |
; his side Of the field, when this little |
/ scrapper hits an opponent the play is |
| over. Cossman and Swineheart are
j the two best tackles altho Cave of |
! Hays ran them a close race and as a |
result is given a place as guard along |
/ with Ecord, crack guard on Bill Har- |
giss team.
| There are number of fine centers t
in the Kansas conference but Boland,
| captain of St. Marys, gets the call. |
| He has played his best football this
year and has been tower of strength
| in the Saints line. He makes q. fine
leader. puts the old pep into the Blue
and White boys. Quarterback goes to
little Jacquith, Gwin Henry's crack
! field general Every coach gives this
| boy the call for the first team. Speak
| ing of halfbacks. let's mention Lane of
| st. Mary's, the very best back in Kan
! sas. Not only does he run, kick and
pass, but he leads his interference
with dash that. puts a million dol
| lars worth of fight into his team
mates. Brown of Friends can't be
K
| changing him from his regular posi-
| ton at fullback to half. Wykoff is
the choice of all for fullback. His
wonderful work has alone won the
| Kansas conference championship for
| Washburn. He is both a wonderful
| offensive and defensive player. This
| first team If they could practice for
about three weeks together would
have little trouble defeating some Of
the big Missouri valley eleVens.
