The now fading football season has
been the most disastrous one in the
games history for the eastern col
leges, taken as a unit The indisput-
able supremacy Of the western elevens
is the primal cause.
The west has had the greatest year
In its history. 1t Is loaded with great
teams and great stars.
What men in this array stand out
as the best? In my opinion the men
named in the accompanying lineups
represent the cream OF the west-the
mythical all-western team. These
men are chosen not to heap praise on
them or detract from the glory due
others. They are chosen in the spirit
in which one balances his books at
the end of a given period. For every
position there are several men that
could be chosen and defended. but the
men above Impress me as being the
best of those who came under my at
tention.
AS to the ends. Myers Of Ohio
State University stands out not
only for his brilliant defensive
and offensive work. but for his
braininess. He is the logical
on his team.
While the great work OF Brick"
Muller. great star of the University of
California, isn't we'll known east or
the Mississippi. he has won fame in
the far west while California has been
winning the Pacific coast champion.
ship. His part in the teams aerial
attack featured the teams triumph
over Washington U. Bclding of Iowa
might we'll replace either man.
GREAT LINE PAIRS RETAINED
The way the tackle and guard posi-
,ions are handled may draw criticism.
But do not believe the two greatest
pairs of linesmen in the west should
be broken up. Cappon. at tackle for
Michigan. and Dunno at guard. as a
team. have played an important part
In Michigans unexpected show OF
strength. They showed their great
ness when they halted Wisconsin's
piunges and blasted wisconsin's hopes
in that tie game. They work In per-
feet harmony. To separate them
would be Illogical.
Huffman. tackle. and Pixley.
guard. with o. S. u, are on par
with Dunno and Cappen- To
rclegate one of the four to the
second team would be an in
Altho Pixley and Huffman played
on the left side of the line. the
shift to the right side would not
weaken their efficiency.
Wallace of Iowa State. mentioned
as an all-western choice by some
critics last year. deserves the place
this year. despite the brillia mt work
of Wick of Michigan and Bunge Of
Wisconsin.
HOSTS OF GOOD BACKS
Choosing the backfield is moro
difficult task. The list of cligibles IN
cludes, besides four chosen, Romney
of Chicago. wilkins of Indiana and
walquist of Illinois. Audrey Devine
OF Iowa to my mind, is the greatest

without a par. His resourcefulness In
attack was a prime factor In fowae
great work this year. Iowa stands
out as the team with the most power
full attack in the western conference.
AS to the halfbacks. there Is more
cause for discussion. Mohardts worth
with the Notre Dame team was shown
clearly when the Indiana team an
initiated the Army. Elliotts versa
tility makes him a great half ten
second man. he Is fleet In circling the
ends and In forward pass plays. But
he also is wonder at line plunging--
making him doubly effective In Of
fense.
Locke OF Iowa and Sundt of
Wisconsin are both wonder full
backs. Locke's work. however,
has been a bit more brilliant. He.
too, Is a powerful plunger as well
as a heady player
In ordinary seasons young Johnny
Stuart of Ohio State might we'll have
won his place on the allwestern
team. He may be placed there by
many this year. lie deserves praise.
Johnny Kyle did wonderful work
with weak team.
Would this all-western team defeat
any other team sent against it from
the west? Undoubtedly not as an all
star team They would lack the per-
feet teamwork any all-star team
lacks. But believe they would prove
to he the best team IN real action
after a fair period OF training.
