Last Friday the writer Sc
lected Emerson of Gary as
the outstanding high school
grid team of the 1880 season.
The selection was made from
a large number of teams of
nearly equal strength.
Most of these teams were from
the north section of the state, and
that is the section where the finest
machines of the past season we're
developed. The boys who doomed
as stars up there proved their
class
Picked From Entire Field
But all the fine football players
are not in the north section of the
state, northeast or northwest. While
we do not feel that there we're as
many good, steady. powerful foot
ball players in other sections of
the state as there we're in the north
section, we gathered players here
and there who have class.
Here is our choice for the 1880
first team:
Ends KrOnwitter, DIishawaka;
Mallard, FrOebel of Gary.
Tackles - Nelson, Emerson of
Gary; Sawaya, Michigan City.
Guards KelsO, New Albany;
Shake, Logansport
Center-Christian Mishawaka.
Quarter-RibIet, Elkhart.
HaIfbacks-Anderson Emerson of
Gary; Basker, South Bend
Fullback-Elser, Horace Mann of
Gary.
Nine schools are represented on
The Times first all-state eleven,

Stewart Of Shortridge, Indian
apolis, was named second team end
and McCreary. Cathedral, Indian
apolis, was chosen second team
halfback.
Each year we have found players
elsewhere in the state other than
the north end who have taken our
eye by their performances. We have
selected them on our mythical
teams of past years and they have
rewarded our Judgment by making
good in college. In fact a great
deal more OF them from the other
parts of the state have made good
than the boys selected from the
north part where the majority of
the first team positions we're an
nually awarded, as they have been
this year.
We look back with pride on our
Judgment OF Cotton Wilcox, Chuck
Bennett, Lewis Miller, George Van
Bibber. Moss, Rick, McCrary of
Bicknell who was an all-America at
Georgia; Dickey, Jasper, and Cogan
of Clinton in 1928 who went great
guns at Detroit this past fall. Those
are Just a few.
Horstman and Lukats
Until Horstman starred at Pur-
due this fall and Lukats hit the
headlines the last two weeks at
Notre Dame, we had been diSap-
pointed in our far north choices as
far as college records went. but
many of them were unable to go
TO college.
Looking over the 1880 selections
The same problem arises. Basker
for three years has been a great
back at South Bend. The same
Tor Elser at Horace Mann and An
derson at Emerson. To make room
for Horstman of Mishawaka, north
ern Indiana mythical team pickerS
selected Anderson as a quarterback
although he never played that
position. The thing that is in the
favor of those boys is that they
have made their records against
the strongest Of teams week after
week.
Right In Indianapolis we have a
couple of halfbacks who, in our
Judgment, could make any team in
the north section of the state. They
are McCreary of Cathedral and
Bullet of ShortriCge. Mac" is
truly great player with bright
future. Bullet has a future and
might have been rated higher this
fall had he trained religiously.
Sandefur Bright Star
Put Sandefur of Memorial at
Evansville on one of the Gary
teams and doubt if any team in.
the state could stop him. But be-
: cause this is our judgment and the
boys in the north have proven their
ability, these latter boys are rele-
gated to the second team. 1t is
hard to call it a second team. We
would rather call them, "one team"
another team" and still another
