NA0udl OhA4A-
For almost all of the information
I have at hand, I am indebted to
my fellow coaches. Most Of these
coaches have been very fair in their
praise Of outstanding players, OPP
ponents particularly. IN picking this
team, individual merit only has
been considered, and by individual
merit we mean the ability to execute
every maneuver - physically, men
tally and emotionally-necessary to
play that particular position to the
highest possible degree of efficiency.
Over Entire Season
The entire season also is consid-
cred carefully and players who
showed in one of two games be-
cause of breaks were not rated as
high as other men who went
through an entire schedule with
regular consistency and steadfast
deDendability.
Teams which did not play a
schedule of any particular merit
probably have some outstanding
men. but the real caliber of players
can be measured only when a team
is up against the real stuff. Players
who look like a million dollars
against easy opposition fold up
when pitted against apparently
superior opposition, hopeless out
look and sturdy physical contacts.
For my first mythical team, I in
clude the following: Fessler, Ohio
State and Tanner, Minnesota, ends;
Sleight, Purdue and Richards, Ne
braska, tackles; Cannon, Notre
Dame and Anderson, Northwestern,
guards; Moynihan, Notre Dame,
center; Carideo, Notre Dame, quar-
ter back; WEIGH, Purdue, anG Glass
gov, Iowa, half backs; Nagurski,
Minnesota, full back.
Expert Information Used
That this all-western choice is
any better or any worse than any of
the others, we do not claim for it.
But it is an honest effort to classify,
by means OF the expert lnIOrmaClOn
sent me, the outstanding players in
the middle west during the season
just closed.
There is no question but what this
1929 season has been a most inter
eSting one and that it was charac-
terized principally by the fact that
there were six or eight top-notch
teams in the middle west, which
were pretty evenly matched.
1t was just question of mental
fatigue, injuries and emotional re-
Spouse as to which team would win
when any Of these leaders happened
to get together.
My "alP' selections, first, second
and third teams, will be found else
where on this page.

CROWDS AID IN
MAKING FESTIVAL
GREAT SUCCESS

FL Centre turned out in force last
night for the opening of-athe Mer-
Giants Christmas Festival and far
into the night Main street rang with
the JOYOUS voices of the merlymak-
ers. Every one was in festive mood
and jostled one another good ma
.uredly as they passed along the
crowded street.
Holdam Stuart's grocery store
held open house with dance. The
main floor space was cleared and
the fun began. A two-piece string
orchestra was enthroned behind the
meat counter and supplied the neces-
sary music for the dancers.
The city band took the center of
the evenings stage. Meeting in the
office of the chamber of commerce,
they tuned up and broadcast sew
oral pieces over radio KAO. Then,
forming in line, they marched down
Main street to Fourth, turned about
and came back to Sixth where they
stopped. Several pieces were played
at this corner an dthen the boys
went to NJ. O. Kings store where
they continued the concert. FL Cen

ganization which has done so well

And, we must not forget Santa
Claus. He came wobbling down the
sidewalk with every unattached
youngster in the city tagging along
behind him. Bowing to all he met,
he stopped from time to time to
hold private conversation with some
fond parent, doubtless making some
suggestion as to an appropriate
present for an expectant kiddie. He
gave the necessary Christmas at
lnosphere to the whole scene, for,
what is Christmas without old Kris
Kringle, even if we have grown up
to that stage of sophistication
where we no longer believe il, him.
Every store along the avenue was
ablaze with lights in keeping with

such a stock of goods is available.
Merchants in general and the buy

about the success of the festival.
