QUARTET GET
(. .POSTSFROM
EASTERN
BY GARRETT WATERS
Six men from Tech, four from
astern, and one from Central!


That's The Times AllHigh
team for 1882. And as has been
the case during the past four
years. Tech leads in the number
of players honored.
Eastern, however, breaks into
the limelight for the first time in
several moons. The Lincoln Park
ers polled their quartet because
of the excellent work Of the team
in general and the four in par
ticular.
Hank Gibbins is the lone Cen
trail selection. No players are
picked from Western, although
five are placed on the second
team.
The six Tech players are How
ser, tackle; Gramlich, guard; Bax.
ter, center; Meiklejohn, end, and
Brinkman and Foley. backs. East
ern's men include Benjamin, end;
Campbell, tackle; j. Mills and
Keegin, backs No use mention
ing Central's selection again.
Foley Quarterback
Discussing the backfield, two
of the outstanding players in the
series we're Foley and Brinkman
of Tech. The first named was
the best punter while Brinkman
was easily the Standout forward
passer. Both men played promi
neTt parts in Techs fifth title
success and are placed at quarter
and left halfback respectively.
Neither performed at any other
position but quarterback during
the series, but as only one can
be picked as the quarterback, the
other is shifted to halfback post.
despite the fact that other half
backs played we'll enough in spots
to warrant all-high consideration
Eastern's colorful pair, Joe
Mills and Joe Keegin are placed
in the remaining backfield posi-.
tions. It would be down right
heart-rendering not to include
these men on the team. Mills
played the entire series coming
along with a rush after a slow
start. Keegin only played two
games, but performed in such a
brilliant manner. that it was easy
to. see that he was the most pol
1shed. .fullhack in the series.
BENJAMIN, of Eastern, and
Meikeljohn, Of Tech. are given
the end positions. The former is
a, newcomer to high school ranks,
having played prep ball with
Gonzaga last year, while Meikle-
john is very well known because
of his excellent work for Tech
during the past two years. His
selection as All High right marks
the second time in as many
seasons that he's been honored.
HOwser, Campbell. Tackles
Howser. of Tech. and Campbell,
Of Eastern, are the tackles. Both
are newcomers in the matter OF
All.High recognition. The two
were right there at all times in
the respective games OF thel1
teams and are given the honors
over such men as Wolfe, of East
ern; Buscher. of Western, and
Hartman. of Tech.
There was no better guard in
the series than Gramlich, OF
Tech. This lad was another Jack
Rhodes. In fact, some are in
clined to believe that he is a
better player than Rhodes. AT
any rate, his playing was so good
that he gets All-High honors with
little trouble.
GibbinS, of Central, Is placed
at the other guard post. This
lad is really tackle, but is put
at guard on the Times team be
cause of his ability to play most
any position and play it well, and
because Howser and Campbell
mentioned above, are deserving
of honors.
Gibbins Great Player
Just to give an idea of Gibbins
worth as player, he was calleC
upon to do about everything dur
ing 0entral'S games. One day he
was placed at end. The next al
tackle, the next at center, anc
always as the HEAVIER of passe:
when the overhead game wa;
employed. Glbbins also did al
of the punting for the Mt. Pleas
anters. Truly, a tried and true
footballer,, this lad, and worthy
OF All-High. mention, regardless
of position.
Little Freddy Baxter is the
center on this 1882 mythica
eleven. Although somewhat light
Baxter, by his pep and fight, not
to mention latent ability, was the
best of the series and is giver
recognition over such men a.
Lewis, Of Eastern: Wynn, of West
ern, and Hay. Shore and other!
