E. Pat Kelly. who made the seiec-
ton of the all-state college eleven, rs
regarded by Montana gridifon fans as
especially competent to make the selec-
ton of a mythical team. Kelly, who
is n former star ut Dartmouth and the
University of Montana, officlated this
wear at the following games III Mon
tana: Montana State college VS.. Mount
st. Charles. Montana State college US.
Utah. Montana State college VS.. State
School of Mines, Wesleyan vs.. Utah,
State School of Mines VS.. Wesleyan
and Billings Polytechnic VS.. Montana
State college. Kelly did not officiate
mt any game in which the University
of Montana eleven took part but he
watched the Missoula eleven in action
against Montana State college.
In announcing his 49, fanciful
team, Kelly said:
I'm selecting an all-state college
eleven one must first consider all
around ability and usefulness on the
team as a unit. Further consldera-
tions ere ability of players to stay in
and 60 through a whole game, to take
punishment Of all kinds for 60 minutes
of play and to be aggressive at all
times. Football sense, speed and an
athletic temperament are further fun
damentals to be dealt with in naming
a mythical team.
1.-THE 1922 season ave Montana a
higher class of football generally than
ever before. There has been a de-
cided Improvement in craftsmanship
and both players and spectators are
beginning to realize that there is more
to football than the mere winning of
the game"
As to the positions and players on
the 1922 star team:
ENDS
Good ends were AT a premium IN
Montana this year and it is with diff
ficulty that ends Of the type necessary
for an ail-state eleven may be selected.
Hatfield of Montana State. Wardell of
Mount st. Charles, Havey of the
Mines, Nadsen. University of Montana,
~Baumgartner brothers, Wesleyan, and
Mashin, Montana State. are the ends
worthy Of mention and consideration.
Speed. aggressiveness, swiftness in
getting down the field on punts, tack
ling ability and cleverness in the use
of the hands are the essentials in con-
sidering the end position.
HatfieId--This BoZeman player is
fast, heady and aggressive; he uses his
hands in a good style and is seldom
boxed" He fights his way through the
interference and oftentimes is success

behind the line of ~scrimInage. Hatfield
is never sucked in on any trick stuff
and is exceptionally good as a receiver
of the forward pass. He goes down the
field on punts with plenty of speed
and seldom does the man with the ball
get around him.
Wardeli-Although small in size
the Catholics star end is gritty and
every inch a fighter. handicapped by
lack of weight, he is in every play and
time and again when seemingly put out

plays a safe game, goes in three steps,
stops and looks at the play. sizes up
the situation and in most cases out
figures the opposition and makes his
tackle ~cleanly. He gets down the field
well on punts and is even a more
deadly tackler than Hatfield. He has
not Hatfield's strength as a forward
pass receiver but makes mp for this
with his splendid defensive playing,
Extensively. for q man of his weight,
he handles the tackles opposite him in
fine shape and with the ease and judg-
ment of q man twice his size. Wardell
is also a ready diagnostician.
Hayey-This School Of Mines player,
although not an all-state selection, de-
serves special mention. He is small but
a fighter. He would make a better
quarterback than an end and should,
if possible, have been kept at the
quarterback this season. AS a quarter
he showed excellent judgment but alb
solute lack Of suitable end material
made it necessary to shift him to the
end position. He is somewhat light for
the end position and was unfortunate
this year in sustaining injuries. which
made his playing less effective than
last season.
Baumgartner brothers-These Yves
-ieyan players deserve mention. They
are steady but not brilliant.
Madsen-Madsen, the University of
Montana end, played some good foot
ball this season but at times he proved
inconsistent.
TACKLES
The tackle position requires men of
weight. brains, stiffness, ability to
diagnose plays and above ali things,
ability to keep from getting boxed
by the opposing end. A tackle must be
strong in the use of his hands and must
be extremely shifty N defense. There
