 F Chicago, Dec. S-The footnall sea sea into the "sere and yellow and the time for naming the gridiron roll or honor, in olher words, picking the mythical all star elevens' has arrlVeo- The two best football teams in the Middle West were Notre Dame ana Ohio State. It is fitting, therefore, that these teams should predominate in the selection of an All-Western eleven The two best teams in the Big Ten'' conference were ono State and Illinois, hence these teams naturally are the heaviest contrlou- tors 10 the All-Conference eleven. The above statements are made with no intent to disparage W1scon- sin Iowa and Indiana, each Of Whlch had fast and powerful elevens: In fact. some critics considered Wiscon- sin a. better team than Illinois, and it finished higher in the percentage column, but Bob Zuppke bossed an eleven that possessed players ana eie- greatest in the country. The fact that it fell before a couple of advers- aries late in the season in no way detrac;s from its potentialities. The machine just slipped cog, as any machine is likely at times to do.
 End Selections.
 Paradoxically, we will start at the ends to discuss this All-Western team
  us first of all to Chuck Carney, of Illinois This lad is a football play CT from his toes to his thatch, which reaches an altitude of about SIX feet passes and is rated without a peer in defending his wing. An all-Star team without the clever Chuck would not be an all-star team. klley of Notre Dame, ranks very little be- hind Carney in his all-around work the Illinois crack.
 the Illinois cracfk.
 On the All-Conference team kiley must be dropped, Notre Dame if outside the pale of the Big Ten Lester Bedding, the rangy jumping jack from Iowa, drops into the va cant berth and Carney is moved oYel from the AllWestern. Belding like wise is a star at snaring the elusive forward pass and knows all the trick! that an end needs to know.
 Other good ends in the Middle Wes were Truck Myers of Ohio State who would fit nicely into an aN-stal eleven if it were not for the outstand ing abilities of Carney and Be1d1ng E. Anderson, of Notre Dame; Weston of Wisconsin; Hellstrom. of Illinois and Strohmeier of Chicago.

 Western team is provided with a pal of giants who played the game wit intelligence and power against hos of brilliant opponents. With Cough lin ineligible for the All-Conferenc team the post goes to Captain AnSu Goetz of Michigan, who was th mainstay of the Wolverine line and player of exceptional ability.
 Wisconsin had a first class tackle good enough for any team,1n scot and Indiana had a prize in Risle9 who. in addition to his prowess in tn line was one of the best drop kicker in the Middle West. Other tackle worthy of mention were Puceik. ( Nebraska; Mcclure of Chicago; Olan der, of Illinois; Birk, of Purdue, an Slater the dusky giant from Iowa.
 Picking the Guards.
 In the guard positions there wa more of a paucity of good men tha fin any other department Maurlc Sn,ith. of Notre Dame, was the on outstanding guard of the season. TayIor, of Ohio, is givsn the seccn herth because he was the best of Whf is left. 'Brader, of Wisconsin, replace smith in picking the all-conferent team because of his general depend ability, rather than for any brillianc Duke Dunne, of Michigan, and M Caw, of Indiana, are worthy of son mention.
 One Star Centre.
 There is only one answer to Il centre proposition and that is Cal tain Johnny Dsnler--of Illinois
