TOOT ball in the Big Ten and
r. throughout the Middle West,
i has been of an exceptional
ly high calibre. Teams in
the Big Ten have been two to
three touchdowns stronger than
last year. AS a result the Big Ten
championship is in a muddle.
There likewise has been quite a num-
Der of stars. One of the most inter-
esting facts in this connection Is the
abundance of outstanding ends. This
believe is due to the fact that with the
end with exceptional ability has been
stressed Men who have been playing
at tackle are now placed at end, The
result is crop of remarkable ends and
a dearth of great tackles.
Michigan with PetoSkey and Ward,
Ohio State with Gilman and Padl0W,
Northwestern with Manske and Jens,
Minnesota with Larson and Tenner,
Illinois with Frink and Schustek, In
diana with Lyons, Nebraska with Kill
bourn, Missouri with Schiele, and Notre
Dame with Devore. give us very i'm
posing array of ends.
DETOSKEY of Michigan, weighing
i 1876, without single weakness and
a very fine all-around player, re-
ceives the call at left end. Larson Of
Minnesota, weighing 1876, extremely fast,
a great offensive end and excellent de-
fensive player, is placed at right end.
Tackles are not particularly numerous.
Among those who have stood out all
season are WiStert, Michigan; Gentry,
Oklahoma; OBrien, Nebraska; Mehrin-
ger, Kansas; Roach, Notre Dame; Deem,
Chicago; Fehring, Purdue, and Rose
quist, Ohio State. WStert Is given first
choice at left tackle He weighs 210, Is
fast. intelligent and aggressive. Roach
is placed at right tackle, as he has been
the outstanding factor on the right side
Of Notre Danes line.
Just as there are many great ends,
there are likewise many outstanding
guards, owing to the fact that guards
are becoming increasingly important on
offense. Outstanding are GailuS, Ohio
State; Kawal, Northwestern; Savage,
Michigan; Pacetti, Wisconsin; Scham-
mel, Iowa; Kvaternik, Kansas; Bashara,
Oklahoma; Bevan, Minnesota, and
BemiS, Illinois.
EROM this list Gailus of Ohio State
n is selected as left guard. He
weighs 200, is very fast, a fine
interfering and blocking guard, a good
leader and very impressive. Schammel
of Iowa is selected at right guard as
he has been the outstanding player on
the Iowa line. He weights 2l5, is ex-
tremely fast and was the outstanding
guard of the Middle West,
Heading the list at center is Ber-
nard of Michigan, closely followed by
Vuchinich, Ohio State; Patterson, Chi
cago; Meier, Nebraska, and Oen, Min
nesota. The position goes to Bernard.
He is fast, intelligent, weights 2l5, and
is the finest all-around defensive center
in his section.
The quarterback position is very much
open. to argument. There is Beynon,
Illinois; Pardonner, Purdue; MaSterson,
Nebraska, and Laws, Iowa. None has
IL,
for. Illinois high position In the con-
ference race and splendid achievements
are probably due more to his playing
than to any others. Beynon has ex-
cellent judgment, is an exceptionally
fine passer and has been the sparkplug
of Illinois attack all year.
A T LEFT halfback there are a num-
n Der of outstanding performers, any
OF whom would probably be ac-
ceptable on any team. Heading the
list Is Lund of Minnesota, with Carter
of Purdue close behind. Crayne of
Iowa in his fine ail-around playing is
possibly also just shade behind Lund
Other left halfbacks are Everhardus,
the mainstay Of Michigan's running at
tack; Zimmer, Chicago, one of the
finest all-around backs in the confer
ence; Pilney Notre Dame, without
doubt the fastest and hardest running
back and probably the best halfback
in his section, whose mechanical mis-
plays at critical times have hurt his
all-around performance; Mott. Detroit,
the finest forward passer in the West,
and Russell and Graham, Kansas State.
However, probably the finest halfback
on any team for his exceptional all
around play. and for carrying his team
along all season IS Lund, and he is
therefore. selected Lund Is O good
passer, an excellent kicker. fine punt
handler and does everything a back
should do.
THERE are no really great and out
standing fullbacks this season,
but there are some very fine per-
formers. Heading the list is Sauer of
Nebraska. Others are Beach. Kansas;
Hecker, Purdue; Regeczi, Michigan;
Kabealo, Ohio State: Elser, Notre Dame,
and Beise, Minnesota. For his all
ing ability, speed and open field run
been very brilliant. Sauer gets the call.
At right halfback there are likewise
a number of great performers. Out
standing Is Purvis, 210-pound back OF
Purdue, who can pass. kick and run. Is
sfifty and an exceptionally fine defen-
sive player. Cruice Of Northwestern Is
probably one of the most brilliant soph-
omore backs in the conference. Bran
cheau, Notre Dame; Lndberg, Illinois;
Berwanger. Chicago; Alfonso, Mime
sofa, are all very fine backs. From this
list the right halfback position goes to
Purvis, whose all-around play has not
been excelled In his section.
A backfield composed of Beynon
Lund, Sauer and Purvis would carry SO
much running, kicking and all-around
ability that it would make about as fine
q combination as any one could wish
