Southport
Lad Named
Schaefer, Brilliant Grid End,
Listed Among HooSier
Prep Stars.
BY DICK MILLER

The Times today presents
its 1888 annual all-state high
school football selections.
Members represent the cream
of more than 1900 prep
school lads who took part in
the grid sport over the state
during the season just closed,
the hopes of HooSierdom for
future all-America honOrs.
Naturally, the majority Of the
high honors went to the players on
the eleven teams considered for the
award of The Indianapolis Times
trophy, Triumph" annually award
ed by the writer to the squad rated
as the outstanding team Of the sea
son. Clinton was adjudged that
eleven last week. But not all the
stars were on those teams.
Such was Vincent Schaefer Of
Southport. His team was undefeat-
ed. 1t played one tie game but de-
feated three indianapolis elevens.
In all these games this lad, who is
six feet tall, carries 1872 pounds, is
an exceptional blocker as well as
tackler and fine pass receiver, never
was outplayed
Injuries Halt Cherry
Harry Cherry Of Washington, IN
dianapolis, first team full back in
1882, suffered from injuries during
the major portion of the 1888 sea-
son and never reached his stride,
But indianapolis had other out
standing stars, including Woerner.
Tech end; Mcmahon, Cathedral
quarter back; Cato, Shortridge
guard; Steckley, Cathedral end;
Brown, Tech tackle; Faris, Short
ridge tackle; Luzar. Washington
guard; Constantine, Manual quar-
ter back, and Bohne and Banner,
Tech backs
There were at least fifteen great
ends in Indiana this fall. The same
applies to the tackles and there GER
tainly is little to choose between the
eight named on the first four
teams. Likewise, between Wheeler.
Henry, Boulanger and Jones, at
guards, the last two received high
mention in northern Indiana foot
ball.
EvansviIIe's Mainstay
Eakins, the big Iineman of Reitz
at Evansville appears to be in a
class by himself at center, although
several others were great pivot men.
Reitz had a powerful wall Of which
Eakins was the mainstay.
The quarter back job on the first
team this fall goes north. Vincent
Oliver, the field general on Whit
ing's fine team, is regarded as the
one big reason for that eleven'S sue
cess and is given the edge over BIZ
bich of Clinton.
Like the ends, there are at least
a dozen half backs who could grace
the second team without criticism.
Vanzo Clinton Leader
McGannon, the Evansville Won
der, did everything and did it well
He was half dozen threat" player.
Vanzo of Clinton was the leader Of
the Clinton team and his all around
ability largely was responsible for
that squads great record.
Few mythical selections ever are
made in which the selector does not
find at least one spot where he hesi-
tates. This year it is at the full
back position. The two boys in
question are Frank Patrick Of
Roosevelt, East Chicago, and Her
Schel Kurz Of Peru. Both were
main cogs and both teams were
among the outstanding elevens Of
the season. Neither was stopped
entirely by any defense. However.
in being able to gain ground con-
sistently against the strong Opposi-
ton he met in the northern con-
ference, Patrick gets the call.
