ing, the quarter back is a player il
name only. He is a back and is gen.
orally called upon to carry the ball as
often as the other backs. In some
cases the quarter back is injected into

ball eleven.
Locke Moved to Quarter
Such a field general does not have to
be small of stature. II he has the foot
ball brains along with natural ability,
all the better. This is the reason why
Gordon Locke of Iowa has been moved
from fullback to quarterback ON the
first all-American team and made cap
tain of the eleven. Although unknown
to most fans, Locke piloted his team
through most of the games last sea-
cciis LIS SClC(titu u pays was dl-
most faultless. while his natural abil-
ity to head the interference. run the
end or hit the line makes him doubly
valuable in the position. Many prom
inent western coaches are unanimous
that Locke is an exceptional player in
that his natural ability to do things has
never affected his generalship.
Charley Buell. of Harvard was a
great quarter back. but he could not
do the many things which Locke did
and do SO well that his team completed
the schedule without defeat and num-
bered Yale among it's victims. The
Crimson leader was an excellent field
general, but when it came to adyanc-
ing the oval. Locke was by far SUI
perior.
Uteritz of Michigan. was another
sterling quarter back who should be Il
wonderful player next year. Coving-
ton of Centre was another consistent
performer in the position and a great
field goal kicker. Charley Erb of Cali
fornia was another steady pilot. as
was Pfann of Cornell, Smythe of the
Army. Dunn of Marquette and Brad
shaw of Baylor.
Harry Kipke Wins Berth
Harry kipke Of Michigan is placed
at right half back and is deserving of
the honor. There is little about foot
ball which this player cannot do and
do to perfection. He was a star in
high school, where he learned the
fundamentals, and under Yost's teach
ings has developed into one of the
best backs in Wolverine football his
tory. !
The Maize and Blue warrior is one
re st,n Lae4 t.,rto %I-.a4 -o-fo .,l
the country and a punter and field goal
kicker who ranks with the best. He is
fast and elusive, a hard runner who
never failed to give his teammates !
support on all plays. He caught for
ward passes and tossed them. This
general all around ability made him q
respected player by all Miehigan's OPP
ponents.
Eddie Kaw Lands
kaw Of Cornell is awarded the other
half back position. He is an ideal run
ming mate for Kipke and between the
two would make things exceedingly in
teresting for any team. The Ithacan is
advantage in the Pennsylvania game
when his work was admired By Coach
of Illinois, Spaulding Of Min
nesota and other conference mentors
who saw the game.
Martineau of Minnesota was placed on
he second team. This player was the
outstanding performer on the Gopher !,
eleven and although q marked man in
every contest never failed to deliver. :

'ther half backs whose work through |
nut the season was commendable. !
Owen of Harvard at Full q
owen of Harvard is placed "A full ]
'ack because he can execute almost q
aultlessly the many requirements of t
he position. This player has been h
he main cog in the Crimson machine /
or the last two years and has seldom ii
zen found wanting. He is a natural
Ootball player who likes the game and f
he rougher the going the better he C
erforms. In many ways he resem- o
les Locke of Iowa in that he can hit IL
he line, slant off the tackles or run
he ends. He is as fast as any player fl
