Wilmer stands alone among the quin-
tet of field generals offered by the
coaches of the five high-school teams.
Wilmer led his mates to two victories
while suffering with a fractured wrist,
and throughout the campaign for the
championship set an example by his
cool direction of the smooth-working
Blue and White machine.
David and Jett Picked.
Tommy David, halfback. and Nelson
Jett, fullback, are picked for the two
remaining places in the all-high back
field, the latter taking precedence over
Heeke of Eastern because he played Il
more consistent brand Of foot bali.
Although perhaps not measuring up
TO Eastern's big fullback as a line
piunger, Jett, punting, passing ana
running for the Manual Trainers,
proved himself equally as good as
Heeke and at the same time much
steadier and faster
Although putting up a stiff fight
toward the end of the series, it is hard

Babe Silverstone of Business was by
far the best defensive halfback in the
league. and behind a more experienced
set of forwards than that which car

Quartet of Clever Ends.

choosing between them. Central

as the stabilizing influence in Wes;-

since the opening of the season, pre-

nerS Of enemy teams.
In making for himself a place on
the all-high team, Blackstone, Cen
trail center, had no competition what
ever. Judging by his work in the
series, one can hardly picture coach
asking for a better ball passer than
this stocky snapper-back, who held
the key position in the champions
also were above par.
DO Consistent Work.
Both Blackstone and Van Meter
shared in their teams scoring and
both played all departments of the
game like old hands. While being
stationed regularly in guard posN
ten, Lombard also did good job
at tackle on one occasion.
Capt. Gene Dulin of Tech and
julius Radice of Eastern got the
the roster of the mythical eleven.
These two acquitted themselves
creditably in their final year of
scholastic foot ball serving as bull
warks in the forward walls of their
respective teams. Radice repeated
his stellar performances of the previ-
Gus year in a tackle position and
helped bear the kicking burden for
the Lincoln Parkers. From his place
at guard, Dulin ran his team in fine
style and although missing the cham
pionship honors was his coachs
strongest aid in the task of guiding
the eleven into the runner-up posi-
ton.
Other outstanding guards were
Oehman, a Tech youngster; Murray
of Eastern, sShreve Of Business and
Walker of Western. With the eXS
ception of Shreve, each of them
clinched his position as a regular
