'Now is the time tor all good football scribes to come to the aid —or something like that and select all-state high school grid teams of Nebraska. The ancient custom of picking all-star this and all-state that, becoming more and more a matter of pure bunk. In the good or days there generally stood out head and shoul ders above the rest, 11 players who were worthy of being placed on tTi«■ mythical eleven, but as Father Time wends his way onward, the ta<k of selecting 11 all-star players is beyond any one man's ability, especially when this one man is unable to see all the state high school teams in action. *. lo put it i;i the words of the esteemed Mr. Shakespeare, cawn’t be done.” Ill Hill' l Worde, it i-. tllioul ' ' He IKS IK M* for iinv line individual tn pick an all stnl' t'-.iin nr all stall' Inuiis 11s it i.s fur a person aim has never been in California to go into eestacies about the wonderful land of orange blossoms and movies, to say nothing of 1 he Mill. ( nai In s .Make Selections. But there are many football coaeiies, grid officials pud f ins in Nebraska who tins year have taken a keen in terest in high school footbnil. These ■ foai'hf . officials and fans have a fair * l.v good idea of the playing ability of state hu.ii g11'1st'i - There bangs our solution of selecting all-stato first, sec ond and third high school teams. Tlie Omaha Bee all state teams are made up, not on the opinion of one man, but on a careful survey of coaches, of players, of officials, of newspaper men and fans wlm have seen the various men selected tn play Probably the present season has been one of tlie hardest to figure of utiy football season in recent years in Nebraska big it school circles. The playing of Omaha Central, Lincoln, Gothenburg. Kearney, Alliance, North Platte, Tech, Curtis Aggies, the oust ing of Omaha Central from the race and tim recent defeat of Kearney by Lincoln, make selections doubly diffi cult. l ew Outstanding Stars. 1 Thera have been really few out ' standing stars in pvideni-e. the type of player who wins a berth on any nll Kl ite or all anything team, blit the per < i ntago of good players probably have In ell greater. t'sually In selecting teams of this W*"®type most of the players selected have i fairly clear path to the honor, with a few exceptions "f cases where some other star In the same position lias ranked out as real brilliant. But tn this case there are only two of the first flight that have clearly stood ftlnne. i*n our first, team are two Central players, Perclval at end and Gallo way at halfback; two Lincoln grid sters, Brown at quarter and Gardner, end anil captain; Keenan, tackle, and Kasterling. fullback of Kearney, and lvrasne, guard of Technical; Layton, tackle of Beatrice; Goold, guard of Geneva; Milter, renter of Columbus, and Ifolmes, halfback of Gothenburg. It will bo noted that South High for the first time In a number of years is not represented by a single play er on the first team, though one t Packer, Graham at quarter, is on the second team. Ilcat It, If You Can. Now you are at liberty to go ahead and pick your all star first high school t* inis ami try and get one that would whip this combination for an all-star play and the kind of ability that wins football games, livery player on this team is a. real team player and in the present stage of football team play is the tiling that is absolutely necessary to win games. With the assistance of the conches, oliii inis and fans, we have finally suc ceeded in selecting three all-state teams. It may lie that here and there along tlio line wo will run against an opinion that does not coincide exactly with our estimate of football ability or the estimate of grid ability of these follow ers of high school athletes who have helped us select these teams. But what if we do? Columbus had his critics. Since that is ail definitely settled and rtgeon holed and all opposition is overruled, for the present at least, let us take up the Individual posi tions and figure out what it is and all about and what and a few more things. Brown at Quarter. AYe will start at quarterback. A team needs a good quarterback to run matters. Without a heady pilot the best backs in the country would be failures. For this position on our first team we have selected "Jus” Brown of Lincoln. The Lincoln quar ter was the choice of all coaches and officials throughout the stale. AS"e saw "Jug ' play against Kearney and right then and thrre deoidt d on tills player for our pilot's herth. Brown knows how to direct a team in battle, throw the lvall and run with the leather. The manner in which Brown returned punts in the Lincoln-Central and Lincoln Kearney games was cer tainly far better than that done by any other back In the state. Graham of South High was another beady player. He played a good game at all times and was cool in battle. He was the second choice for the quarterback berth. The backfleld places go to Gnlloway of Central, Holmes of Gothenburg and Kasterllng of Kearney. Gallo way has been playing fullback for , ._!%>' tlio Purple this year, but could do no better, we believe, at one of the halfback positions. The Central back is one of the best line plungers ip the state. He is a deadly tack hr and knows how to run interference. Furthermore, Galloway is a clean player, one who knows how to con due* himself on and off the field. This all is taken into consideration s, t j when places are awarded on our all | state teams. Galloway Vote Collector. ' Nearly every coach, fan ami ofll 'rial selected Galloway on their first | team, lie was popular with all per 1 sons wlm were asked to assist us in i selecting all-state teams, i Don Holmes of Gothenburg was another popular player. lie re ceived tlie second most votes for half back, therefore is selected to act as j Galloway's running mate. lie is a great punter and drop kicks with kern ability. Ilia punting has been (lot henburg's biggest asset this year, llis punts averaged tnoro than 40 '.aids arid one ,lf bis successful drop kicks was made from the 48-yard line. Because of his educated toe. Holmes lias been nominated to do the kicking, both punting and drop kicking for the first team. lie is a good defensive player, too. Easterling of Kearney has been chosen all-stato fullback. This Kear ney back Is a good defensive player and can kick with surprising ability. His forward passing is equal to the liest in state higli school cirejes. while his line plunging, end running and tackling easily stamps him ns first team material. In the game against Lincoln, East erling was the star of the Kearney [team. lie passed well, tackled well and his team-spirit is the kind of team spirit we want on an all state team. Some Hack Field. We have now presented to you our all-state baekflehl. It is n baekfleid that is ideal, last, elusive, high-class men, good on the defense, anything and everything that a baekflehl should bp. Howell of Central, Munroe of Tech and Thomas of Lincoln were good backs, but could not come tip with the baekflehl of our first team. Next comes the ends. Gardner of Lincoln and Perelval of Central have been selected to hold down the wing positions on the first eleven. In awarding the honors among the linemen it Is necessary to consider what the duties of each are. There fore it is necessary to define the duties of the ends. In the first place, both Gardner and Berclval were exceptionally fast men at getting down the field In the role of tacklers to cover punts. In the Lincoln-Central game these two grid sters played a whale of a game at their positions. Gardner and Percival both know how to grab the leather out of the air on forward passes. Gardner was the star of the Llnrnln-Kearney game when it came to completing forward passes. Both of these men can be used to carry the halt, both are adepts at diag nosing plays and neither was drawn .'i or put out of the play during their games here or at Kearney. Gardner Is Certain. Gardner is the captain of tlie first team and we believe he would make a worthy leader for any squad. lie has the "fight” of a football player and tlie regular team spirit. As for this question of guards, those who have been asked to select all-state teams have chosen Goohl of Geneva and Krasne of Tech as all state guards. The best of them all was Krasne. This Tech player holds down a tackle position, but could play guard Just as well. His headwork in addition to his physical ability to play the berth makes him the best In the state. Goold of Geneva is a bear when It conies to breaking tip plays. He opens large holes for his barks and j is a eure tackier. - Hall of Central and Oehbrlch of i '’dumbos were two other goes] guards, but they did not receive the votes I that Goold and Krasne got. therefore they are on the second team. In Layton of Beatrice and L. Kee ; nan of Kearney, the tackle berths . are decided with much argument, j Thomas of Central and Berry of the i Curtis Aggies were good tackles, but ! again they did not receive the votes . that Layton and Kefcnan received. Keenan at TacUIe. Layton played a good game at tackle against Central. He broke through the Central line time and again and covered punts In good style. Keenan’s play was the closest to any ; to that of Layton, but even the Kearney player could not match the i Beatrice luminary In several depart ; ments of the game. Both were ex ceptionally fast at getting Into the I play and both distanced their own ends In getting down the field. Both I succeeded In stopping everything that I cairn) their way. H ill of Central and Berry of Curtis Aggies were two more good tackles. ; The former played good at times nnd : when it was “good’’ he was hard to stop. Just as Brown stands out at quar terback and Galloway at half-back, so Joes Miller of Columbus at renter. ‘ Miller tips the beam at £10 pounds _Here Are Nebraska High School Gridsters Who Won Berths on Omaha Bee’s All-State Teams Brow n—l.incoln, ((uartor. fallow «' — < antral.

Dee. 9.—(Special.)—Penn I State's offer for a game next year with the Cornhuskers in tlie opening contest at the Yankee's new field on October 27, has been declined. Missouri Valley rules prohibit con ference teams engaging In a game played anywhere except on flie grid irons of one of the contesants and Notre Dame plays the IItinkers on October 20. Meeting these two teams tally a week apart is considered too strenuous for the team, even if the Valley rules did not make acceptance j out of the question. Oklahoma Champions Defeat Shenandoah Bartlesville. Okl., Dec 9.—Ramona ; high school, state champions of Okla- , lioma, defeated Shenandoah (la.) high j school, champions of southwestern Iowa, here today by a score of 19 to 9. Ramona scored two touchdowns i in the second quarter and ono In the j third. Shenandoah played Central high of : Omaha toa7to7t!eat Omaha early in the season. Nebraska Capers to Use Armory Court This Season Lincoln, Dee. 9. — University of Nebraska basketball teams will play their frames In the Armory this winter Instead of the Coliseum at the state fair grounds, according to an an nouncement just made by the univer sity athletic department. The armory I has been remodeled to accommodate | nearly 2.500 spectators. The large heavy doors between the chapel and the gymnasium can he pushed aside for games, making one large room. Seats will be arranged along the sides of the Armory and In j the chapel. Heavy glass backboards : for the goals will permit n view from any point in the room. Colorado Aggies Arc Offered Game With Stagg’s Eleven Denver, Colo., Dec. 9.—Chicago uni versity has offered the Colorado Agri cultural college football eleven a game on October 6 at Stagg Field, accord ing to an announcement made here to day by Coach Harry Hughes, of the Agricultural college, In attendance at the annual schedule meeting of the coaches of the Rocky mountain con ference. Tank Record Topples. Mercersburg, Ta., Dec. 9. — The world's interscholastic 200-yard relay swimming record rvas broken here to- j day by the Mercersburg academy | swimmers in a dual meet with Haiti- j more City college, when the home nat- i atora swam the distance In 1.42 2-5.1 This lowers the former mark estab- j lished last year by Hawrenceville I Academy by 2 1-5 seconds. in lus stocking feet. Is speedy and shifty for Ills weight. He is a good tackier and because of his weight, tears large holes in the opposition. Ills passes are always good. Nearly all the coaches nnd officials picked Miller at center, saying that defensively, of fensively, every way, Miller is a mag nificent high school center. Miller All-State Center. With Miller given first choice. Pierce of Technieal'was placed on the second team and Powell of Aurora on third. That takes care of the first team and we are perfectly willing to let It j go at that. So that Is our all-state first team, picked from men who went through i the test of battle during the 1922 sea son on Nebraska gridirons. With Gardner as captain, Holmes do- ] ing the punting. Jlasberling the pass- J Ing and Drown yelping the signals, we ; believe this team of all-state men ! w ould be hard to bea." Omaha Bee’s All-State High School Football Teams FIRST TEAM. Pos. Player.

STATE college football this season was not as good as it has been for the past few years. Conse quently It is harder to pick two all state teams than ever before. All of the men on the first team and the majority on the second proved out standing stars on their respective teams. Etzelmiller of Cotner and Cowell of '■ Grand Island were the two best ends of the season. Captain Harrell of tlm Wesleyan team was injured In (he Cotner game and unable to play again during the season, and Wll- ! liamson of Hastings, are also very ! good ends and deserve places because i of their ability on tlie defense. Cow- J ell Is by far the best end seen in state j college circles for several years. Given Tackle Berths. Klchenbaugh of Wayne and Reed i of Kearney are given the tackle po- | sitlons on the first team. They are equally good on defense and offense. Trapp of Chadron and Rlatt of Wes leyan arc given the tackles on the second team. Parkinson of Wesleyan and Gause man of Donne get the guard posi tions. Parkinson plays n center posi tion, but he Is too valuable a man in ; the line to be placed on the second string, consequently he is placed at gua rd. Elliott of Midland Is first choice at center with Donavon. last year’s all state center from Grand Island, fight ing him for the honors. Elliott has been the bulwark of the Midland line all season and lias broken through time after time to spill plays before the oponents could get them started. They are both good pivot men and next season will probably see a real fight for this position. Best Center In Race. Captain Horn of Midland Is easily the best quarterback in tbe confer ence. He directed his team to its first I championship and he is one of the ; best open field runners in the state. Willy of Peru is a good field general and deserves his place on the second ) team. Sink of Grand Island and Alabaster | of Wesleyan nre two halfbacks who . easily deserve places on Hie mythical) eleven. Sink Is a wonderful lino ) plunger and Alabaster just as good in j a broken field. Both men arc good j at runnig Interference. McKelvey ..f ' Chadron and Brunlng of Midland were close contenders for honors on the ‘ first team. McKelvey Is unquestion ably the most accurate goal kicker In the conference while Pruning Is bat tering ram on the offense. Bltzenbaugh of Peru gets the full back position, although Adams of Midland deserves consideration. Bitz enbaugh Is a triple threat back. He ran pass, put and carry the ball. Both players arc good nt hitting the line.
