position. Also his ability to receive
passes, and to break UP interference
land passes, had a great deal to do
with his selection. Kahler~ of South
western, was given the left tackle posi-
tion because of his work both on de-
fense and offense. His ability to
break thru on defense and to get the
man with the ball makes him a
valuable man to his team.
He opens up great holes in the op-
I position on offense, and many of the
coaches declare him to be the best left
tackle in the conference. He did not
receive unanimous vote OF coaches,
but his plurality gave him the place.
Littrel, of Baker. was named az a
guard on the first team last year, and
his work at that position this year
added strength to his teams line that
was largely responsible for its show
ing in the conference. Widick, of Col
lege of Emporia, is without doubt, the
outstanding player of his team, and
deserves to be again placed on the
-au-kanSaS eleven. On defense he is
man on wheels, and his passing on
offense is second to none in the con-
ference He is given the captafncy be-
cause OF his ability as a leader. He
was given close race for center, by
Rhenquist, of Bethany, who has
played guard as well as center. Rhen-
quist is too good Il man, in the opin-
lon OF number of coaches, as well as
our own, to leave off of the first team

of the game.
Cole Is a Good Man.
Cole. of Kansas State Normal. is
almost the unanimous choice for right
tackle. He was alI-Pacific selection
last year, and his performance in
Kansas conference games this year
makes him one of the strong men for
the right side of the line, in the Kan
sas conference. In fact we do not
know of a better one.
Mag, at the right wing, while re-
ceiving a close race with McAvoy. of
St. Mary's for that position. won out.
He is a good running mate for Thorn
lily, but not as good a man. These
two men on the Methodist ends were
largely responsible for the open field
work of the Coach E. s. Lston crew
this year. More than one pass would
have fallen had other men been on
the receiving end.
Carle, of Kansas State Normal did
not receive the unanimous choice for
pilot of the all-mythicaI eleven, but
coaches and officials picked him as
one of the real generals of the con-
ference. He led the Normal team tc
victory all but once. He not only is
a good field general, but also is an
open field runner of no mean ability.
His ability to return punts has had
a lot to do with his choice for the
pilot position.
Playing next to earle, is Stewart, K.
halfbacks in the state. He is good
enough to play on any Kansas team.
He has weight enough. and is fast on
his feet. On the defense he ranks
with the best of them.
Ash, of Bethany, is given the right
half position, altho Slower, of Sterling,
almost nosed him out The fact that
Slower is playing his first year in the
conference probably had something to
do with the naming of Ash. One year
sometimes Is not long enough in which
10 judge a players ability. Ash was
a valuable aid to his team in the 1922
season, and should the all-mythical
eleven here chosen be matched against
some other team, he would be a val
liable man in the backfield.
Hill Ideal Fullback.
Hill, the Baker ful1back. is easily
the outstanding man for that place.
His ability to either run around ends
or plunge thru the line is ahead of
any other fullback in the conference
When Baker needs a few yards to
