men of exceptional value are avail
able that the selection of the first
team has been made only after de-
tailed consideration Of the history
and ability of each man under all
possible conditions.
In looking this team over We find
that we are well protected against
any possible contingencies. And that
is factor that has made more cham
pion teams than probably any other
asset First. we have a center who

terback of sound Judgment, a real
general. and a man who is sturdy
enough to last through a. game or a
season. We have a pair OF ends

ally good interferers. No man would
ask to work with a better pair of
ends than. Muller and Roberts, to-

"On present schedules a final rank

attempt will be made to select the
