Michigan.
Amos Alonzo Stage. 67-year-old coach
Of the University Of Chicago eleven, adj
hered to his policy Of not naming play
ers for "all-teams," saying that he felt
qualified only to select team from the
squad with which he worked during the
season.
Bergherm Made FulIback.
Bergherm, a tall, powerful player,
was the key man in Northwestern's Of
fensive scheme, doing the punting,
passing and q great share OF the run
ming. Coach Dick Hanley probably
would have had difficult time without
him, following the injury which took
Hank Bruder from the squad. Bruder
had done the punting and passing, but
Bergherm stepped into the breach and
handled both jobs so well as to be
largely responsible for Northwestern's
victories over Illinois and Ohio State.
Glenn HarmeSon, one of the four riv-
eters who played big part in giving
Purdue its first Big Ten foot ball title,
was an almost unanimous choice for
quarterback. HarmeSon passed and
ran and was ranked as superior de-
fensive back.
Glasgow, WEIGH Shine.
Capt. Willis Glasgow Of Iowa and
Ra1nh aEaEtss UUe1RI1 ~ Eo1IrAYFa
long choices for the halfback positions.
Glasgow, playing through almost the
whole season with an iron mask to pro-
tect shattered cheekbone, probably
was unsurpassed as a ball carrier, and
with his ability also to pass and kick,
was ranked as the man to watch when
opponents tackled Iowa. Defensively
Glasgow left little to be desired.
WEIGH did not carry the ball as often
as last season, but was always ground
gaining threat. His defensive work and
blocking was invaluable In the Purdue
drive to the championship. Sacrificing
opportunities to carry the ball, he
crashed out ahead Of HarmesOn and
Yunevich, starting them toward long
gains. 90
With the exception Of the ends, the
line jobs gave the. pickers trouble.
Wesley FeSler Of Ohio State and Bob
Tanner Of Minnesota were the class of
the wingmen and were paired by almost
every coach. Fesler, 1928 selection,
was the pick Of the offensive ends and
his defensive work was good enough to
bear scrutiny. Although closely watch
ed, FeSler took passes from Holman all
season and his alert play was a factor
in making Ohio State look like con-
tender until the season was nearly I'm
tshed.
Tanner Great End.
Tanner dominated the ends in de-
fensive play and was a sure pass re-
ceiver. He was fast down under kicks
and his deadly tackling kept opposing
backs away from his side of the line.
Although handicapped by an uncertain
ankle all season, Tanner never failed to
turn in better than good performance.
Shifted about to patch up holes in q
team that lacked reserve power to make
It great. Nagursh stood out, with Elmer
Red" Sleight Of Purdue as the pick
Of q number Of hne tackles. Possessed
Of tremendous power and deadly tack
ling ability, Nsgurski played q great
game at tackle and found time to drop
back to fullback to score pair Of
touchdownS that gave Minnesota vic
tory over Wisconsin. He was the fast
est man on the Gopher squad and
Coach Spears characterized him as a
player VINO rarely made mistake IN
judgment, either as back or a lineman.
Sleight played clever foot ball in the
Purdue line, keeping his feet well and
seldom being caught out Of position.
His speed and power made him misery
to opposing punterS, who found many
of their attempts blocked by the hard
charging Boilermaker star.
Guards Are Powerful.
Fred Roberts and Capt. Henry An
derson of Northwestern received the
guard assignments over a powerful field.
Roberts was not the biggest iineman in
the league, but he looked 1t in action.
He was the best balanced guard in the
Big Ten, according to the coaches
being equally capable on offense and
defense. His tackling and judgment
were far above par.
Anderson was a battling type who
charged hard and certainly, and was
fast enough to 1T in well in interior
ence. He tackled well and was a fine
blocker when called out to run ahead
Of Bergherm and the other Northwest
ern backs.
The place at center was a tight battle
between Mickey Erickson of North
western and Ed HAWAI- Of Illinois.
Erickson received the verdict by enc
vote, chiefly due TO his great work
against Illinois. He was a smart de.
