The Junior Academic Football
League this season served two Of its
principal purposes nobly: to provide
competition for teams too light to
compete in the senior division, and
to develop youngster talent.
Some of the talent developed so
speedily that it was promoted to senior
ranking during the season. This was
particularly true in the cases of Welt
man Of West Texas Military Academy,
who started on the junior squad and
wound up as a regular with the senior
backfield, and Hildebrand, McCrelcss
and others promoted from the Brack-
enridge High Wildcats to the squad of
the first-string Eagles. Players so
promoted are not considered in picking
an all-star Junior Academic League
team.
RYAN LINE STAR.
The outstanding lineman Of the sea-
son in junior circles was Ryan Of st.
Anthony's College. This stocky tackle
was the inspiration of an otherwise in
experienced forward wall and his work
did much to carry the Yellowjackets
to the league championship.
The st. Anthony's team also pro-
duced the outstanding backfield per-
former in Seidel, quarterback and d.
rector of a remarkable array of back
field staunts put on by the -Four
Magicians"-himself, Casey, Miellio
and Noonan.
Along with Seidel, whose headwark
was supplemented by accuracy and
judgment in passing, ability to run
with the ball and defensive skill. a
youngster by the name of Woods, big
gun in the Alamo Heights High School
backfield, ranked at the top. Woods
undoubtedly will grow into one OF
the best ball-toters this section has
seen.
OTHER CHOICES HARDER.
Picking other positions, in which Sc
lections of the various coaches were
considered, was more difficult.
Walter Howle of the Breckenridge
Wildcats was named center ahead Of
Buckley of st. Anthony's and Steves
Of Alamo Heights, both excellent per-
formers, because three coaches named
him their first choice. Howle was q
power in the line and a good all
around center, although, for accurate
passing back of the ball he had moth
ing on Buckley or Stoves. Buckley had
a difficult job because of the compli-
Gated plays Of the st. Anthony back
field, yet he is not charged with a
miscue all season.
The coaches differed widely in their
choices but all gave their opponents
credit for star material.
COZAD'S ELEVEN.
Witness the team named by Coach
Wayne Cozad of st. Anthony's Col
lege for The Light:
Ends, Lyons of st. Mary's High
School and johnson of the Wildcats ;
tackles, Ryan, st. Anthony's, and
Wright, West Texas; guards. Meeks,
Wildcats, and Zobin, Alamo Heights ;
center, Howle, Wildcats; quarters.
SeideI. st. Anthony's; halfbacks, Men
ghini, st. Mary's, and Davalos. Wild
cats; fullback, Casey, st. Anthony's.
Coach Mule Frazier Of Alamo
Heights picked Turner Of his own
team and Mcmillan Of the Wildcats
at ends Lyon and Heinhold, his own
tackles; Ryan and Meeks, guards
SteYes Of Heights, center; Seidel at
quarter; Mengbini and Schaezler- OF
his own team. halves, and Woods Of
/ Heights, fullback.
Many Of the players on the junior
all-star rolls doubtless will grace the
senior elevens next year.
