With one or two exceptions the Sc
lection OF mythical all" teams I'm
the Missouri Valley, Kansas and Mis-
souri, state conferences and the NJ. l.
A. A. has been an easier task this
year than usual because OF the mere
fact that most of the men chosen
have been outstanding stars Of the
teams they represent. Especially is
this true in the Valley, where eleven
men have played such remarkable
football that It was easy to see some
time before the close of the season
that only serious injuries that would
keep them out of part OF the games
could keep them off OF the honor
roll.
The places are fairly well distrub-
uted. Nebraska, which won three
straight games without a defeat and
had remarkable team that went
east and beat Pittsburgh university.

places because OF the fact that the

on any "all" team IL such "a team

sition and is y capable leader. His
courtesy to opponents and to officials
make him the type OF man that foot
ball teams need for leaders to uphold
the high standard of sportsmanship
in the conference. Blumer has played
bcttor football at tackle this year
than any tackle the Old Gold and
| Black has had in many years and the
Tigers have been noted for strong
tackles
The other tackle Ia Lyman of Ne
braska. His work. together with that
of Swanson. has been a feature OF the
| line play Of the Cornhuskers. Lyman
is big, powerful man. lie has
crashed through the line time after
time. even against such teams as

Real Stars Mt Ends.
The end positions go to Swanson
of Nebraska and Long OF Drake. Ted
Long was captain OF the Drake team.
| In the three ganies / have seen him
| play he has never allowed gain
around his end. He goes down under
punts we'll is IA splendid receiver of
the forward pass, is cool, aggressive
and an ideal man for the wing posi-
| tion He also makes an ideal field
leader and the question OF captain
| lay between him and Blumer. Long
has a splendid disposition. His work
at Drake has been feature OF the
teams play for three years. This Is
his final one. lie is n big, rangy
fellow with plenty of drive. He has
every requirement for wing man.
Swanson is captain of the Corn
huskers. His work In receiving
passes, stopping the opposition In its
attempts to skirt his end, his tacklins
and general play have been the fea-
lures of the Nebraska success OF
1921. There isn't a team in this
country that he couldn't make Is a
regular at end. Eastern critics have
named Swanson as one OF the stars of
the season and he likely Will get rec
ognition on other mythical elevens.
TwoPowerful Guards.
| Hahn OF the Kansas Aggies and
| Jones OF Kansas are placed at the
guard positions. Either man is a
power on both offense and defense.
Each has crashed through opposing
lines as though they were selves and
neither has been outplayed In games
that I have witnessed. The Aggie
team did not have crew of stars.
| but "A well balanced aggregation and
the line play of the eleven was fea-
ture all year. Hahn appeared TO be
the best of the line at his position.
But any one of three men could have
been given a place, the other two
being Sebring at end and Schmits at
