stands out like a 'long skirt" at the Follies. He gets the job on both the An-Western and A1l-Conference out its. Nemecek, of Ohio, and Bunge, If Wisconsin, are good centres, put they lack the finish that made Depler one of the best men in the country. .l
 Many Fine Quarters.
 Ouarterbacks of class were as p1en- tiful in the Middle West as icicles in the Arctic. Naming the winner for the all-star team is a difficult job Because of his forward passing ability and his knack of running with the ball, Aubrey Devine, of Iowa, is picked for the all-Western berth. Devlne is a rare player and a clever field gen. eral. Bob Fletcher, of Illinois, out ranks Devine in just one particular. Fletcher's handling of his team is un- canny. As Fielding IT. Yost said of him, He never does anything wrong" Devine is not numbskull at hand ling his team by any means.
 However, in mechanical ability he excels Fletcher. It will later be ex- plained why Fletcher gets the quar- terback 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 hurling forward passes and his long heaves were a potent fac tor 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 a battle. Brandy, of No tre Dame; Mathys, of Indiana; Cap | tain Arntson, of Minnesota, and Da- vey, of Wisconsin, are other good | quarterbacks

 Gipp and Stinchcomb. Boy, what a pair of halfbacks these youths pro. vide for the AllWestern! Gipp i: probably the greatest halfback in the country this year. He can run witt through the line; he can heave for ward passes a yard a mile as the occasion demands; he can boot the ball over for a drop kick anywhere ahead of the 5O-yard line, and hi. bunting is a delight to all who See it Sunchcomb is only a shade behinC
 Gipp in his ability to carry the bal and he owns a wise little noodle tha made him the real brains of Jacl W1lce's championship outfit.
