The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-12-03

In past years some Of the leading
secondary colleges, namely De Paw,
Wabash and Butler, have engaged
in tits with teams, particularly
Ohio teams that engaged Indiana
and Purdue and in that manner
some comparison was available on
the players of the secondary elevens.
This year not one such game was
played and that, combined with the
fact that the secondary boys have
shown a disposition to revert back
into competition more in their
class, caused the writer to separate
the selections between the big three
and the secondary selections. We
feel positive, however, that some
secondary stars could more than
make the big time competition if
given that opportunity.
Moss Is Standout
Moss OF Purdue is a Standout at
end, and Steve Kosky, all-western
wingman at Notre Dame last year,
was equally as steady this year. For
some unknown reason, the Indiana
U. warriors seem to slump when
they become seniors, and in the case
of Dickey, the writer believes he
was not as good this fall as he was
in his sophomore year. Devore
stepped in and played we'll when
Host faltered. Daley of Hanover
and Ellington are secondary boys
who, according to many, could make
any big team at end.
Kurth of Notre Dame is stand
out for one tackle berth, but the
selection of Bill Rehm comes after
considerable comparison with Fehr-
ing and Krause, both of whom made
garrison finishes to end their season
in glory. Lefty Powers of Wabash
and Stryker of Valpo also were
tackles of big time ability.
Letsinger, Harris Shine
Letsinger is a great guard at
Purdue IN system that needs a
man of his type. Notre Dame plays
the same system, and Harriss was
just as much of stand out. The
biggest thing to be said in favor of
Keckich of 1. U. is that he played
good steady bail in every game, but
is shaded by the other two.
Had we been forced to pick
second team center we would have
been Stumped. Pivot men at both
Notre Dame and Indiana fell fiat,
while big John Oenler at Purdue
played strong game all season.
Inc position hardest to fill was
the quarter BACK post, which goes
to JaskWhich of Notre Dame.
Don Wheaton of De Paw was
the writer's choice last year.
Wheaton Still Star
This star individually was Just as
good this season, but had little op-
Eortunlty TO show 1t. He had a very
weak line in front of him, was
smeared repeatedly and was the
target of defense IN every game.
BUU no matter how vicious the at
tack on him, he always smiled and
never criticised his team mates for
lack OF protection. Had his team
been better, it is felt Wheaton would
nave made a better showing. In
stead, ne was used as a decoy at
times to fool the opposition ana al
low others to turn IN good runs.
Little John Piper o. Manchester
accounted fer sixteen touchdoWns
and was in much the same posi-
ton as Wheaton, although his team
was undefeated on Hoosier soil
Pardonner of Purdue was a stand
cut as a kicker, being almost fool
proof on his boots after touchdown.
but at times he faltered on iudg-
ment in selecting plays.
Secondary Team Next
JaskWhich has improved each
year. Few have given him the
credit he deserves and we have the
opinion of those close to him that
he carries on his shoulders the
knowledge that every good quarter
back demands.
Duane Purvis and Jim Carter.
Purdue sophomores, went big guns,
Carter until he was injured and
PurviS as the season wore on.
Sheeketski was the best blocker at
Notre Dame and Sawicki the best
tackler and blocker at Indiana. But
for consistent as well as brilliant
performances, Hecker of Purdue
and Koken Of Notre Dame get the
edge at half back. These two stars
had everything.
Horstmann is an all-America
choice. He had what it took to
shade George Melinkovich of the
Irish, who also was great per-
former. Jones OF Indiana, like
Dickey, did not seem to improve
as he was placing one more year
of varsity competition behind him.
On next Tuesday, The Times will
present its secondary college all
