South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1921-11-25

tive forward passer I'm the game in
Indiana with the exception of Mob
ardt and there is little 20 choose BE-
tween them on that score. He IL
a very hard man 10 put out OF the
play when running as interference
and can be relied upon 10 gain
ground on swift off-tackle sneaks
at almost at time the time needs
the yardage. His handling Of the
Little Giants during the season was
generally. cool, well directed and
deceptive. He also is a splendid
defensive quarter.
MOhardt First Choice.
Mohardt. the Gary flash ia of
course first choice for halfback. This
Notre Dame veteran, overshadowed
for three years by George Gipp,
stepped into the shoes OF his de-
parted leader this season and turn
ed up the grids on both East and
Western opponents. The best tri-
pie threat man in the state, a brok-
en- field runner who ranks right
behind KiHinger, Mcmillan. Aldrich
and the only Gipp. there is no com
petition for his job.
Not so the other halfback hole
on final analysis however, Single
ton is named ahead OF Cashier and
Wynn. This choice was made prin-
/ cipally on the first consideration OF
the table.
Singleton should outpunt any
man on the opponents side Of the
fifty yard mark during so much OF
the Wabash games and was a bis
/ factor in those three scoreless quar-,
| ters against the Army. In addition
I he is a fine safety man, has a great
] change Of pace and hits the line
| equally well. This type Of player
would round out one Of the toughes
set of halfbacks in the country.
Another choice that went almost
by reclamation was the placing OF
Johnny Kyle at the fullback posi-
ton. The Indiana captain stood VI
like the rock OF Gibralter behind
crippled line that shifted with
each succeeding injury and left him
battered but unbeaten. On attack
and on defense he was the outstand-
ing figure Of the team in every
game. Nearly perfect as a secon-
Diary defense man. ne can also be-
used advantageously in the triple
/ threat and is the last of the OLE
| school of slashing. plunging back
/ in the state. Without Kyle Indi
ana would have been easy picking
for the teams they beat and vow,
have suffered a disastrous season

are men who just missed the grade
some through injury. others posi-
bly, through lack Of football luck
Z Accepting however. the old spOr
axiom. that the star is the man VIII
makes his own opportunities. W
must place them on the secont
rung of the ladder with due prais
for a good job well done.
In the cases OF both the seconD
string ends, injuries kept them from
showing to advantage until compel
itOrs had established themselves
Stasand of Wabash came to hand Il
the DePauw game however an
showed himself still a first elias
end Frank Hanny was headed 70
his best year at 1. L. when h
/ smashed a shoulder blade in the
Harvard game and was kept goinI
thereafter only by the display o
great gameness. Both are able. de
pendable wingmen. and in the cas-
of Stasand, handle passes extreme
" well.
Two Irish Look Good.
Leonard. a plugger and husk
veteran OF the Stiehm squad an,
. Carmen. the Purdue captain are
secondary tackle choices. XII
Kessler, Wabash and big Hectic
/ Garvey Of the Irish, are nominate
at guard with another Rockne regu
lar. Mehre. at center.
Grant is easily the second hes
quarter i'm the state and Wynne
likewise. one of Rockne's best bets
is moved from full TO half 20 team
with Pat Pages ace, Tin Man Nc
CIaffin Tiny Knee. the smashin
Wabash line plunger gets the call a
I fullback.
OF the men chosen for the thir
team. Cashier in particular deserv
es special attention. He will I'm
doubtedly be a star on the 1872
team. Middlesworth and Dutten
lhaver Of Butler, Aul Of Wabash an
/ lookout OF Earlham all did master
ful work at their positions. Tn
latter. with Stroll Of Franklin wer
/ handicapped through weak assist
ants and were thrown off thei
stride in attempting TO play clever
positions instead o. only one.
The honorable mention list, to-
often looked upon as bouquet Gov
cred bickbat, is a conscientious hon
or roll for men who fought camel
\ during the season. gave the hes
they had and deserved commenda
ton. despite the fact that they wer
I overshadowed by ADLER competit-
ors.
Men like McCaw Of Indiana, Rol
of Wabash. Mackln OF Purdue
\ Reinhardt Of Rose and Sawyer o
Valpo are in this class and must b
given credit for their work.
In summing up this selection,
appears TO the writer that the team
lis az nearly representative as on
could pick in year when wv
i teams stood out so strongly as di'
\ Notre Dame and Wabash. Will
others. notably Purdue and indiana
fell so far short OF early season pre-
dictions.
