make downs hill takes the ball ana
usually makes the required distance.
He is always good for a gain.
With Gardner, of Southwestern, and
McAvoy, of St. Mary's on the wings,
Mudra, OF Mcpherson and Vehlow, OF
Rittsburg Normal at tackles, Vaneck.
OF Bethany and Kutnink, Of Kansas
State Normal at guards and Friend, OF
Baker, at center, the line on the sec
ond au-KansaS mythical eleven is a
formidable one, and would give the
first team line battle of considerable
proportions were the two teams to
meet in actual combat. Several OF
these men were strong runners up for
first team selections. They are all
good HnemenS and contributed ma
terially to the showing made by theiI
elevens during the race for the 1922
pennant.
Brewster Captain Second Team.
Hammond. of Southwestern, is
placed at the pilot position on sec
and Wiley, of Friends, at-halves. In
Stover, the second team has an ex-
ceptionally strong man, and his run
ming mate, Wiley. has shown excep-
tionally good football ability in this
years battles. Brewster, of Wash
burn is given the fulIback and cap
tajncy of the second team. A1tho
Brewster played at half this year. he
is, in our opinion, is a good leader.
Probably only the poor showing of his
berth on the first team.
The Third Team.
The third team printed here prob
ably has men on it that are good
enough to make the second string, but
there are but eleven players on
best honor, third. team berths. The
captaincy of the third eleven is given
to Barton of Mcpherson, who has
shown in previous games that he is
i To-, 1.z,- 20 ,~.w-rN
than the average caiber. His per-
fOrmance at quarter on such team
as is here chosen should put fear into
the opposing teams which might be
matched against it.
Babson Strong Man in Line.
We have given him one of his own
teammates and a St. Mary's man for
his halves. Carter performed well on
the Mcpherson team this year, which
is no doubt due to the coaching of Ar
Mcdonald has performed too well in
games in which St. Mary's has been
matched this year not to have some
recognition for his work. He is de-
pendable, fast, and can be counted on
at all times to deliver. Holtfrerich
and Thomas, of Kansas State Nor
NAL. are given the wing positions on
the all-KansaS third team, and we be-
lieve they would do Justice at those
places on the team Van OrSdal, OF K.
S. N, and Batson. of st. Mary's have
been named for the tackles, and both
are above the average. Batson's work,
particularly, has stood out this year,
and some writer's are giving him po-
sition on the first team. BIevins, cap
tain and left guard on the WaShburn
team, and Weaver, Of Friends, are
placed at guards. Blevins started the
season at left tackle and shifted to
guard in the middle of the season. He
has played guard for some time, and
it seemed mistake to change him.
He probably would have been placed
on { q of the other two elevens had
the change net been made at the start. |
Several Other Worthy Men.
A large number of men deserve
honorable mention for their perform |
ances on gridiron teams this year, but |
we have named some here that seem /
to us particularly deserving.
