Illinois Leader
Has Tough Time
AT Quarter Post

There is one player in the West

playing quarterback and running the
football team is just about the tough
est job in the world
That player is Waiquist of Illinois.

be added that he accepted the job

Great Quarterback
Crop Developed In
1921 Grid Season

No position on a football team is
more important than quarterback.
The season of 1921 has produced
more great quarterbacks than any
other year that can be recalled.
At least a dozen high class quar-
terbacks have cavorted over the grid
irons of the east and west in the
season just closed.
1t is a tosS-up between three of
them as to who is the real leader,
Devine of Iowa, Killinger of Penn
state or McMillin of Centre ..
Devine of Iowa is generally admit
ted as the greatest quarterback the
west has ever produced. Coach Will
liams of Minnesota says he is greater
than even Walter Eckersall or John
ny McGovern.
Devine can do all things well. He
is great field general. He is a Won
der in an open field. a great kicker.
and receives forward passes as well
as he throws them. He was the big
cog in the championship Iowa team
coached by Howard Jones.
killinger of Penn State is one of
the greatest running backs the game
has ever produced. He is very fast
and exceptionally hard to tackle be-
cause of his style of running. He is
a star in every department of the
game
McMilin of Centre is the best de-
fensive quarterback in the country
He is star at the running game and
a fine passer. His kicking game is
not so strong.
A few of the other great quarter
backs of 1921 are O'Hearn of Yale
who is sure to be a star next year:
Lourie of Princeton, who was handi-
capped most of the year because Of
injuries; Holleran of Pittsburg. an
other great quarter whose work ha:
suffered because of injuries: Romney
/ of Chicago. Bremen of Lafayette
| Buell. of Harvard. Workman OF OhiC
| State and others.
