Washington Coach Places
Three of Own Men on
Pacific Eleven.
All.COast Eleven
BY JAMES PHELAN,
Head Foot Ball Coach. University OF
Washington.

THE selection Of an all-Paciflc
Coast eleven is very difficult
assignment this year because
\ of the severe schedules played
by all teams. The round-robin sys-
tenn has forced all Pacific Coast elev-
ems into tough assignments every
Saturday, with the result that more
men have had an opportunity to dis
play their wares, and the selecting
OF one man for each position out Of
so many individuals with almost
identical ratings calls for some hair
line decisions. This has been done
with the advice and counsel Of my
scouts who have watched all Of these
players perform.
The team selected has q heavy,
strong and fast line which will av-
erage well over 200 pounds and the
backfield will be strong and extremely
fast, with plenty of kicking, passing
and running, but this combination
would be little short on defensive
strength.
There are no outstanding fullbacks
on the coast and have shifted Jimmy
Cain Of Washington to the fullback
spot because he has operated in this
position for three games and fire.
quently is called upon the handle the
fullbacking for his team.
The ends on the coast are not out
standing and cannot compare with
last years ends, Moscrip and Top
ping. Schroeder of U. c. L. A. and
Finney, Santa Clara, are selected be-
cause Of their all-around ability and
their sensational pass catching in sew
eral games. To back up this pair
would like Hibbs of u S. c., Klumb,
Washington State, and would also
like to mention johnson and Peters
Of Washington, Stanley of U. s. C.
and Terry. Washington State.
The tackle slots will be taken care of
well with the 215-pound Sophomore
Pete Eager Of Stanford and the 210-
pound Senior Scheyer of Washington
State. The decision on the tackles is
very close and the following group are
rated almost on an equal basis-Bjork,
Oregon; Bond, Washington; Dinner
lein and Wilkin, st. Mary's; Watts,
Oregon State.
Selecting the guards was not diff
cult and we find in this position q
very high-class group of performers
headed by Max Starcevich of Wash
ington who has made the all-coast
team before and must be considered
for all-America honors. He weighs
200 pounds, is very fast, aggressive and
does not have a weakness. Bassi of
Santa Clara is selected for Maxs
running mate. He, too, has made all
coast teams before. Rating very close
to Bassi, find Slivinski, a sophomore
from Washington; Radovich, U. S. c.;
Amato. Oregon; Strack, o. S. c., and
Cooper, Idaho.
In the pivot position. my selection
Tor the second year of Bob Herwig Is
made from collection of outstanding
centers including Wiatrak. Washing
ton; Smith, Washington State. and
Chavoor, U. c. l.. A. Herwig gets the
call over Wiatrak because of his con-
sistent Commute ball games. Wiatrak
was injured in the U. C. L. A. game
and missed three games.
Ordinarily the backfield combina-
ton would not be dificult to put to-
gether, but there Is q wide divergence
Of opinion about backs on the coast
this season. Goddard Washington
State; Haines, Washington, and Cain.
Washington. are three seniors and ali
have been consistent players and pos
sess plenty Of speed and all-around
ability. Teaming with this expert
ence. I have selected Ambrose
echildlar, even though he Is q sopho-
more. He looks to be the most prom
ising back seen on the coast in many
years. His running is supreme and
his kicking excellent. He needs to
improve in his passing. Haines has
the speed and shiftiness Of an all
America, Is left-handed passer, and
one Of the country's premier open
neld runners. Cain is q pile-driving
ball carrier, packing 1872 pounds and
plenty tough as a blocker. runner and
defensive back. Goddard is a great
passer, excellent kicker and a good
ball carrier.
Several other backfield combina-
tions could be made from such fine
performers as Falaschi, Santa Clara
because of his speed, weight and
blocking ability; Newton, 200-pound
blocking sophomore, quarterback.
Washington; the great little spark
plug and punt handler, Jimmy CONS,
Stanford; Braddock, the driving Ore
gon halfback; Dougherty, Washing
ton States bucker and blocker; Kara
metic, Gonzaga, and Pavelko, Santa
Clara.
would like very much to have
such fine players on my squad as Joe
Gray, the passing phenomenon Of
Oregon State; Milton Poppovich, Mon
tanas triple threat star; Chapman and
Meek Of California, because Of their
defensive ability; Kohlberg, Oregon
State; Funke and williams of U. c. L.
A., two excellent kickers and all-around
players. Goux and Maxham, st.
Mary's; Peterson Of s. r. o., and Fritz
Waskowitz Of Washington have all
turned in some very good days during
this season.
