TONIGHT's GAME

The Washington times., 1927-12-09

Starting at the ends, there is no
doubt but what Oosterbaan, of Michi.
gan. is the outstanding man. He did
everything that could be asked of
him Extensively and defensively,
though it is true that in the second
half against
I pick Walsh, of Notre Dame, for
the other end. While not the or.
ward pass receiver that Oosterbaan
was, yet he was very adept in this
phase of the game. Walsh's forte
was blocking a tackle and playing
defense.
For tackles I select Nowack, Of
Illinois, and Lucas, Of Missouri.
Nowack was perhaps the star MEM
Der Of a great Illinois line. His
use of hands and his footwork was
uncanny. He was so powerful that
he was seldom boxed and his tack.
ling was so hard and fierce that he
was terror to all half backs who
met him.
