The problem Of selecting a Vermont all

or two and the lmposslbihty OF witnessing
all the teams IN action make 1he TASK no

have selected katz of burlington
high school to hold down the pivotal posi-
tion and believe there Is no question of
the justice Of this selection. This boys
passes, both short and long, were we'll
timed and accurate. His ability to coop
crate with his guard on either side in
masking quick opening or in blocking
fer delayed work behind the line was the
best seen during the season just closed.
On defense his tackling was sure, accu
rate and hard and his ability to diagnose
the opponents passing game made him
valuable aid to not too rapid thinking
secondary defence
For guards, | have selected Okeefe
