First Team
Theodore Trutna Chosen
For Tackle Post-Co-
Captain On End Unit

Big Theodore Trutna was named
to the all-conference football first
team and two others Of the Sank
Centre 1910 football edition were
rated on the second team Monday
as coaches and schoolmen of the
eight schools of the West Central
Conference adopted 3-year plan in
football scheduling that assures
Sank Centre a completed schedule
through 1913.
Trutna was named to the
tackle post on the first team,
while co-captains Jim Cooper
and Jim Arneson were rated as
backs on the second team
squad, secretary to the confer
ence, Il. w. Olson, Sank Centre,
announced Tuesday.
I'VE have one Of the best foot
ball schedules in years." he said
pointing to an eight game roster
that begins three weeks-not the
usual two-after the opening of
school in September.
1--WE regret that under the new
scheduling we were forced to drop
Alexandria" Mr.. Olson said. "Tf
we weren't in the conference, we'd
have hard time scheduling games
since nearly all neighboring clubs
are linked with some conference"
He explained that it was impossible
to bring dates together for the two
teams, but added that most other
nearer rivals have been posted on
the schedule for three years.
Under the plan eight schools of
the conference have been rated ac-
cording to strength over the years
Of their tenure in the conference.
To each, assuring five game con-
ference minimum each year, has
been assigned three clubs they will
meet each year Of the next three.
Two other teams will be met for
the first two years; two remaining
of the seven opponents will be met
in the last Of the three years only.
Thus Sank Centre meets Glen
wood, Morris, Litchfield, each year
Of 1911, 1912, 1913. Appleton and
Willmar are on the schedule for
both 1911 and 1912. Montevideo
and Benson will appear on the local
schedule only in 1913, substituted
