The Indiana Dental College basket ball
team will play Eastern Illinois Normal
at Charleston, H., tonight and Indiana
University at Bloomington Saturday night
Coach Z. T. Bayh Of the Indiana State
Normal at Terre Haute called the Dental
manager yesterday afternoon and stated
the State Normal-Dental game that was
scheduled to be played at Terre Haute

was unable to obtain a gymnasium.
The Dental manager telephoned the
coach OF Rose Poly at Terre Haute, and
asked the Engineers coach for Friday
game to fill in the gap OF the three
day trip. The Rose Poly coach explained
that his team was just starting practice
and was not ready for a game so early
in the season. However. he offered the
use Of the Rose Poly gymnasium for the
Dental-State Normal game Friday night.
Today over the long distance telephone
Coach Bayh declined to play the Dentals
at the Rose Poly gymnasium. There
fore after the Dental-Eastern Illinois
Normal game at Charleston the Tooth
Pullers will return to Indianapoglls;. The e
Dentals will leave this city Saturday

Ten Teams Represented On
First Squad, Kirklin
Getting Two Places.
TALENT IS PLENTIFUL
BY HEZE CLARK.

In the State of Indiana there are
some of the best high school football
teams in the Middle West. The sea.
] So. % 1921 long viii be remembered
I as one in which more interest was
shown in prep" school football than
ever in the history of the gridiron
/ sport in the HOosier State.
Strong teams mean that some eXcep-
tional football players are included in
the line-ups of the Indiana high schools.
These star players were not limited to
any one team, but were scattered
throughout all parts Of the State. Some
teams, such as Kirklin, Emerson of Gary,
FrOebel of Gary, Central High School Of
Evansville, and Clinton, had several play
ers far above the average and in what is
Known as all-State class.
With the close of the present season
IL is interesting TO review the work of
the various teams and players. kirklin
and Emerson of Gary were never de-
State which could have played these
powerful elevens close. or perhaps might
have defeated them. Such teams as Cen
trail of Evansville, Princeton, Clinton and
Garfield of Terre Haute cannot be judged
as weak. But this is not a statement of
which team is champion. That would be
impossible to say for the reason that the
schedules were not arranged in such
way that the best teams of the State met.
1t is possible to select an All-State
school team or teams, however, through
the cooperation of leading sport writer's
on the newspapers of the State, the
coaches, and managers of the various
teams as well as by information gained
from players and football fans who fol
low high school football. The writer
probably has seen as many different high
school teams in action as has any one
man IN Indiana this year, and what he
has seen, combined with the informa-
ton gained from other sources, is used
to select the mythical AllState teams.
TEAM CHOSEN FROM
l. H, s. 4. a. SCHOOLS.
1t is only fair to say that there are
two sets Of high schools in tie State.
One set includes about 900 high schools
as members of the Indiana High School
Athletic Association, the other set in
cludes the high schools which are not
members of the I. II. s. a. a. In the
latter set are private high schools which
have high study standards but because
they are not State schools are barred
from membership 10 the l. II. s. \. A.
The members of the association, how
ever. are permitted TO meet these schools
IN athletics. However, in solving prob
lem already so difficult as the picking
OF an All-State high school team the
writer feels fully justified in selecting
his Au-State elevens from only schools
that are members Of the l. II. 5. 4. A.,
for should the private school teams be
included the problem OF making selec-
ton soon would become SO difficult as

Yost Opposes Practice
of Coaches Selecting
AIl-Conference Elevens

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Dec. s.-Coach
Fielding II. Yost, for twenty years di-
rector Of the University Of Michigan
football elevens, has picked his last All
Western Conference football team. 1T
should be the duty Of coaches TO foster a
spirit Of good will among the various
members Of the Big Ten, and the selee-
ton Of Au-Conference teams is likely to
strain, rather than cement these rela,
tfons." Yogt said mo coach sees all
the teams in the Conference In action
each year. and therefore he IS unable 10

schools Another matter to be considered
is that each coach Is tempted TO be lit

to be almost impossible. 1t must be re-
membered that there were about eighty
high schools members of the l. II. S.
A. A. that had football teams this year.
On some of the teams not members of
the association, however, there were
players Of All-State caliber.
In selecting the mythical eleven an
effort is made to build both powerful
defensive and offensive eleven. There Is
such 4 wealth OF material that possibly
an injustice has been done some players,
but an honest effort has been made to
name the logical men for positions.
Seldom have such wonderful ends been
developed in prep schools as Sammy Ru-
man, the Emerson whirlwind from Gary
Woolgar. Technical high star of Indian
apOlis, and Strole, the 1S0-pound end at
hentland, whose more than six feet OF
height give him a great advantage IN
reaching forward passes. Meyers OF
Log3nsport and Flentke of Central,
Evansville, are equal TO most All-State
Elwood, handicapped by playing on a
light team, nevertheless showed I ad-
vantage, for EIwoOd played a clever open
attack and East fitted IN well. Ruman,
the Emerson star, and WOOlgar of Tech
meal, are placed on the first team be-
cause Of their defensive ability as much
as their offense. However, they had only
a slight edge over such end men as
Such ends should flank a powerful line.
It is easy to select such a line for an
AIl-Indiana high school team this year.
One center was superior to all others
and that man was Norman Durham Of
New Castle high School. Playing with a
team far inferior to many of Its oppon-
ents, Durham had & chance to show his
real ability as a center. The big athlete,
a true sportsman aud clean player, was
without a question the best defensive
center seen in Indiana in years. His
passes to the backfeld were perfect. The
choice between Allen of Central High
School of Evansville and Haas, the South
Bend center, Is close.
Thanking Durham are two Of the most
powerful linemen in the State and these

the New York Giants formerly camped.
Arrangements to take over the New Yogk
Clubs holdings IN that rar-Off spot were
completed in Buffalo Wednesday at
conference attended by Vice President
Smith Of the Indians, Manager Hendricks
and John McGraw, boss of the Giants
According to word from Buffalo the
Hoos1ers' new camp will open March 5
and the Indians will remain there about
three weeks, after which they will start
north and land home in time for a few
exhibition games with big league teams
before the 1922 American Association cur
tain Is rung up. Two Of the exhibition
contests here will be with the Cincinnati
Reds, 1t is said.
Both st. Petersburg, Florida and Mar
lin Springs were under consideration for
the Tribes 1922 spring home, but nego
ttattons with st. Petersburg were dropped
when John McGraw was able to convince
Smith and Hendricks that Marlin had all
the advantages necessary for ball play
ers to get in shape. The Giants trained
in the Texas town several seasons.
Hendricks and the players really fav-
ored St. Petersburg and hopes were held
out until Wednesday that the Florida
Sunshine city would be lit" s.
Marlin Springs is not far from Dallas
and there will be a chance for the In
dams to get in some exhibition games
with big league and Texas League teams.
The Southwest was poor pickings" for

the opinion that the natives down there
will have more spending money next

question the best. Southern is the best
man in the State at shooting either long
or short forward passes. He Is back
held man who has a world of speed and
still has that all-necessary change of
pace: His defense also stamps Southern
as the unequaled full back of the State.
There are bigger full backs, for South
ern weighs only about les pounds. but
there are none faster, none who knows
as much football and none who can play
the grid game on a par with the man
from Evansville. GipsOn Of Kirkiin is
nearer Southern's equal as full back
Greenfield is given third all-State. Har-
baugh, playing his first year OF high
school football, is wonder. He weighs
about 1S5 pounds and is fast. Early in
me year ar ne PLAYED guard but it did not
out what a prize he had and soon Har-
baugh was shifted to full back.
Six half backs stand out from the
other back field men Of the State in spite
OF the fact that there were small army
Of fast half backs. These are York Of
Clinton, G. Parr of Sheridan. Kieymeyer
Of Central of Evansville, A. Broderick of
Garfield High School Of Terre Haute,
Marks Of Wabash and Stamates of War
saw. Stamates played both half and
quarter. He is the man who won first
place in the 440-yard dash in the State
track meet last year. He was about 50
per cent Of his teams offense on the grid
iron. Marks was the unlucky player.
This big, powerful, speedy half back was
playing with the weakest team that ever
represented Wabash High School. Had
he been with a strong team he would
have been named on first all-State, but
the Wabash record was one series of de-
feats. One Of the wonderful things that
Marks did this year was to run through
the entire Steele High School team Of
Dayton Ohio, for a touchdown from the
KICKOFF, The Dayton team, undefeated,
is touted as the best in the United States.
Broderick played both half back and
full back at Garfield and worked equally
well in either position. Kleymeyer, the
Evansville star, without doubt one OF the
best half backs in the State, was out
Of some of the late season games be-
cause of Illness. This keeps him of of
the first All-State, for a nan to be
named on the first All-State must play
IN every game, or nearly every game, in
the schedule.
It is doubtful of there are any half
backs equal, and certainly there are none
superior to Leland York Of Clinton and
Clifford Parr of Sheridan on any team
In the State. At Emerson of Gary there
Is Paul Mohardt, brother of Johnny Mo-
hardt, the Notre Dame star. However,
Paul weighs only 124 pounds and lack
Of weight kept him from being selected
All-State, but the kid" brother Of the
Notre Dame star certainly can play foot
ball.
Special mention should be given to the
playing of Ollie Edwards of South Bend
High School He was one OF the best in
northern Indiana and was close TO All
State class.

iege lines, the Indiana all-State high
school team must have a fast, shifty
back field. Again the problem is difficult,
but not so much so as the selecting OF
the linemen. Some of the back field men
so clearly showed better than others that
1t is not hard to group wonderful
back field that can play the passing game,
and combine with 1t a ripping, tearing
line-plunging game, or end-runnlng OIL
Tense.
Few field generals have appeared in
high school teams in recent years that
have been in the class with u. Rohra-
baugh of Kirklin. He can pass, he can
tackle, and he has speed. He has all
kinds of fight and no matter how hard
he Is tackled appears to be just as fast
and difficult to stop on the next play as
he was before. When this man is named
son of Clinton and Haley OF Emerson II
means he IS one of the best prep field
generals in the history Of the grid game
in this State. Froebel of Gary had a
fast quarter In Dick POLK, but ne was was
too small to play the class OF football
equal TO Rohrabaugh, Anderson or Haley,
but for his weight there was no better
quarter in the State than Polk.
There are some who believe that
Harmeson Of Manual Training High
School Of indianapolis Is an all-State
quarter back. In some games he DID
play that class of football. For example,
IN the Knightstown game, played on a
rain soaked field, and in the Shortridge
game, where his open field runs piled up
top heavy score against the Blue and
White team. However, Harmeson did
not appear to be an al-State man in the
Clinton game, where a direct compari-
son of Anderson and Harmeson could
be made.
SOUTHERN OF EVANSVILLE
CLASS OF FULL BACKS.
While there were many full backs OF
exceptional caliber, Southern OF Central
High School at Evansville was without

two athletes, could give any college
guards all the argument they would
want Reichel, the Manual Training
High School center, would fit In well at
from Froebel High School Of Gary, are
without much doubt the men who deserve
the guard positions on the first alI-State.
The guards on the second all-State are
equally well. They are j. Wallace OF
Emerson and Beck, the powerful Worth
ington line man. Beck blocked seven
punts this year.
REICHEL OF MANUAL
ONE OF GUARDS.
Possibly the biggest argument will fol-
low the naming Of the tackles. The rea-
son is that there are so many hrst-class
men playing tackle on the various In
diana high school elevens.
For example, Scott and Burleson, both
giant high school athletes, were the real
reason that few teams could get their
offenSe going against Kirklin. The men
are almost equal in weight. Even the
closest followers OF the Kirklin team DO
not agree IS TO which OF the pair Is tne
best tackle, and football officials VINO
all agree they were wonderful unemen,
Scott is given first honors because ne is
q punter, otherwise the choice would nave
been even. Down in southern Indiana
there is tackle who, while little heard
Of in other parts of the state, is never
theless one Of the best linemen playing
the game. He IS Ziliak, the princeton
High School star. Burleson OF kirkun
is given second team tackle, BerLoske,
the Michigan City High School giant attn
lete, who is regarded as the best line
man IN northern Indiana, is given TIE
