drive rather than speed to make
gains. Mellon has been stationed at
quarter, but he belongs at halfback.
Wilson, Fleck Ends
JUNE Wilson, Fargo, and Fleek,
Mandan, have been placed at the end
positions. Wilson was the best de-
fensive end playing against Bis
marck during the season. The De-
mons could not gain around his end
and were forced to batter their way
through the other side Of the line.
This switch to the other side made
the burden too heavy for Walter
Folendorf. who was taken out of the
game exhausted in the last quarter.
Wilson was always down under
punts and a good receiver of passes.
Fleck is a combination back and end,
playing end originally but being
called back to run, pass, or kick,
when the Mandan club was in hole.
Fleck proved to be better ground
gamer than any Of his backfield
teammates. He was probably the
best pun. er in the state, and few
gains were made around his end dur
ing the season.
McRae, Devils Lake, who gets a
wing call on the second eleven, is
much the same type Of player as
Fleck, but not so large nor so sea-
soned in grid play. He is an end es-
sentially, but was called back to
kick, pass, and run. He had good
success in all three branches. Luz
kins, though not spectacular, was a
consistent defensive and offensive
player on the Williston eleven.
Good Lads Numerous
Geston, Grafton; Meinhover, Bis
marck, and Ferguson, Valley City
are given honorable mention. Ges-
ton, a cousin of the former captain
of the University of North Dakota
captain and end, is following in his
relatives footsteps, according to his
coach, Bob Nelson. Meinhover
tipping the scales at 215 pounds anc
measuring six and half feet in his
stocking feet, was a valuable mar
for Bismarck, playing offensive enc
and defensive tackle. 1t was Mein'
hover who scored the winning touch
down for his team against Valley
City, and it was Big Ted who out
played Walter Folendorf so decisive
ly in the game with Fargo. Fergu
son scored one of the two touch
downs against Bismarck in state
play. He was another good end
quick as lightning, who was used t
carry the ball.

best tackle in the state by a number
of critics. A big fellow, he wa
Bart McLeod's best lineman, open

position. Stroud, Williston, reache,
his height in football against tn

through the line on several occa
sions to throw opposing backs TO

the Coyote line. Murney, Gran
Forks, and Stokkee, Grafton, tw,
husky tackles from the northeastern
section, get the call for the secon'
team, closely pressed by Wilson
Minot; Orness, Valley City, an
Folendorf, Fargo. Orness playe
defensive tackle and offensive hall
back. Wilson played his best gam
against Mandan, though his tear
was beaten numerically. Folendor'
named on several all-star teams Las
year, played through most Of thi
season with injuries.
