IAggies: the line plunging Noble OF
Nebraska, the triple-threat men. Hart
ley of Nebraska and Boelter of Drake
The answer is easy. There are none
Up to the Nebraska-Kansas Aggfe
game which was played November 10,
i there was a contest on betwS en-
Swartz and Preston of Nebraska for
the field generals job. Unfortunately
for Preston, he suffered a broken leg
before that contest and was thru for
the season. In that battle Swartz, up
campaign, displayed generalship, Graf
/ tiness, cool Medicines and football
ability that won him the place The
AggieS completed 21 out of 81 passes,
much of this remarkable work being
I due to the passing by SwartZ. He
passed on the run and his losses were
fast, accurate and splendidly executed.
He ran with the ball many times and
when hit by those powerful Huskers
/ he took his punishment gamely and
came up smiling. He can kick, pass
and run. His work in every game this
year has been of that same high
standard. Swartz is little but an ideal
quarter and on a team such as the ALI
Valley eleven, chosen here he would
be of great value.
Coach Charles Bachman said of
Swartz after the Nebraska game. IF
had been in the game myself. or
had been allowed to sit on the side
lines and dictate what each play
should be would not have called one
play any different from those that
Swartz called" This is a remarkable
tribute to a quarterback.
Dave Noble is the greatest line
plunging halfback that has been seen
in this conference in years. He may
be the best the conference has ever
had. When Nebraska wants a few
yards Noble puts his head down and
plunges the line for the required gain.
He is a ten-second man, weighing 100,
and he gets under way with one step.
He's the fastest line plunger in the
Valley. Noble can make any first foot
ball team in the world.
Chick Hartley. captain OF the Ne
brasla team, at halfback, is an out
standing star. He is a good field gem
era1 and because of this is given the
captaincy. This is the second straight
year that he has been fullback on the
aggregation.
William Boelter is the real star of
the Drake team. He weights 40
pounds. AS a broken field runner and
a receiver of punts and passes he is
without an equal in the difference.
Westinghouse gained 23S yards
The wing positions go to Marsh of
Oklahoma and Black of Kansas.
They are the stars of their teams.
Weller of Nebraska, a giant. is
placed at one tackle. He is fast for
a big man, a power on both offense
and defense and a sure tackler. His
defensive work. is really his best fea-
ture. He also opens big hopes in the |
line for the plunging Noble and Hart |
ley. Bunker of Missouri is given the !
other place. Bunker is not as good a |
tackle as he was center and if he |
had remained at center this year he /
would be head and shoulders above /
the other centers.
Big, Powerful Guards.
Ray Hahn of the Kansas Aggies has !
been an all-valley guard for two /
years and he deserves the place. /
can be required of a guard |
that he cannot do Hahn is a power
on both offense and defense. a splen-
did dispositioned fellow who can take
all sorts of punishments. He is never
forced to leave the game. Denton of
line man on that undefeated eleven.
He stands six feet two and weighs |
ESQ pounds. He Is very fast for a !
man of his weight makes big holes in
and can make any foot
ball team in America. Il
Peterson at center, IS not a f1asf1y !
player, but the HuSker pivot man is
steady, a sure passer and has not
been outplayed in the valley this year.
The second team is really more diff
dcult to pick than the first There
ire men like Morrison Of Oklahoma
Who could make 1T II they mad not
been injured and out of the lineup
part OF the time. On an entire sea-
sons performance, if in good shape,
Morrison could beat out two of the
packs on that team, but the ones Sc
ected have been of more value to their
cam Scherer of Nebraska is as good
IN end as Black or Marsh and would,
De on the first team if it were not for
he fact that Black and Marsh deserve
he recognition. The other men of the
,eCOnd team are Splaudfd nIayarS and
here are lot OF good ones that were
lot fortunate enough to land on either
cam.
Hard Task to Pick Best.
1t is really more difficult to select
he first all-Star teams of the Kansas
