get down 10 business and announce thai
our task Is TO select an all-eonferenc'
eleven as we'll as a team that might
pass as an all-Western representation
Michigan Best in Conference
Were We TO name teams intact, ou
selection would be Michigan, th'
smartest, most versatile, best balance
outfit We saw all season. The ends
Kirk and Goebcl. would appear on an
selection we might make-all Westeri
or all-Ameriea. They wero as cleyoi
pair as one could wish for-keen
resourceful, fast, heady, rugged anC
capable both on defense and ofense.

Pulaski and Tebell, Of Wisconsin. ge
