By RALPH WAGNER. OW that the season picking all • this and all-that foot V hall teams from \ the Atlantic to the Pacific coast Is open, we feel that we. along with thp rest, have a license to try our hand at selecting two all staio ursx anu second high school teams among the players who have received many bruises in Nebraska ** high school games the past season. But, before 'pounding this type writer and longer we want <o shoot over the Information that the all-state teams and honor roll print ed on this page are not selected by the writer alone, hut with the kind assistance of more than 185 of Ne braska’s most prominent football of ficials and high school coaches. In placing the men at. their various positions on the first team we took the gridster who received the most voles, sent out a hurry-up request for his photo and presto, he was right then and there honored by be ing placed n# The Omaha Bee’s all stale high school first team. One might get the idea in Ids noodle that tlie job of selecting an all-state high school team tlds season was an pasy performance in view of the fart that Technical High school copped the state cham pionship when It trimmed Cam bridge, western representative, 16 ^ to 0, in a title post-season ganie. Or It might ho a good plan to adopt the suggestion of B. R.— take the entire Teeli team. "That would make up an unbeatable state high school team,” writes B. R. We differ with Mr. B. R-. who ever he might be. We believe In following the custom of the time. The last season for footballers was the most successful .In the history of the gridiron sport and It would bs a disappointing year for the reader who had no opportunity to ^ pan • football writer wlto chose an all-state high school team. So why not follow the custom? Tours truly will have no alibis to Mfer should the all-state high teams selected hei;e fall to meet with the approval of all who see them. It’s all In fun, anyhow. What would a football season be If there wasn’t the customary all-thls and all-that teams for the grid fans to discuss pro a ad ecu? In order that the suspense may he reduced to the minimum we will In form the reader that Tech High, state champions, placed the most players on the first team. . Four Bookkeepers, Lucas, guard: Prerosf, tackle; Zust, captain and halfback, } and Holm, fullback, are the Tech sters. Cambridge, runner-up for the title, Is next, with three representa tives on the eleven, namely, Mayo, end; Mousel, guard, and A. Raster, halfback. Clarke of Central of Omn ia; Canlglla of Creighton Prep; Driv er of Hartington and Weyand of Lincoln also received enough votes to land them on the first mythical team. Ill tee players on our nrs* ream— perhaps five—should meet with unanimous approval. Weyuml, IJnroln quarterback; /list anil Holm of Trill anil V Faster of Cambridge. They make lip nur all-state harkfleld. Will any follower of the high grid rare In Nebraska hand us mis good reason why this quartet Isn’t de * serving of all this newspaper praise? We believe that they are equal to any high srhnol hack field In this section of the country. In selecting Weyand for the quarterback berth on the first mythical eleven we have a pilot who has shown good football en gineering In all the games !fl which Lincoln High played. He Is a good heady little field general and can pass and tackle along v/lth the best In the state. Ho was flic choice for this position by nearly | every coach and official who sent in selections. Carroll of Cambridge and Worley of Rentrlce were other good quarter lacks. The Cambridge pilot didn't show up so well against Tech, hut In previous gomes Carrol] showed In _-ood advantage. In fact, hr showed up so well that ha received the second largest poll of votes for the quarterback position, so wt Maced him on the second team. So much for the quarterback pnsl Hons 7.osf of Tech and Raster of Cam bridge were the big choices for th* two halfback positions. W« mak* 7ust captain of the first team.

The six furlongs event, run In 1:14, attracted one of the best tields of the meeting.

Chicago, Dec. 6.—Prospects of » football game between Notre Dame and Illinois next fall vanished late today when Coach Robert Zpppke of Illinois announced he could not re arrange his schedule to meet Notre Dame on October 10, the suggested date. Coach Knute Rochne of Notre Dame then announced he had ar I ranged with Minnesota for a game at Northrup fieliji, Minneapolis, an Octo ber 24. J- ■ ' ■ » -.■ Ma.vo Prerost ■ Monself C drug ha Lucas Driver Clarke CND TACKLE GUARD C ElNtt^ CuAt^O TACKLE END -:--—--<S> for fullback. "Bud" Muxen of Cen tral gave Holm a rinse race for the first team, but didn’t quite make the grade. The latter. however, >tfj» placed on the second team as half back. There Isn't much to choose between the two. In our opinion, but Holm received the most votes, so there you are. Holm is a good defensive player. He Is one of the best tarklers In the state high school ranks. The Tech plsyer broke his nose during | the Central game and this Injury, of rotirse, handicapped his playing, lluring the first half of the Cam bridge game Holm didn't do much, but in the second half he ripped, plunged and gained many yards j against the westerners. Muxen played a bang-up game against Tech. He also showed up well throughout the season, but especially against the Bookkeepers did he stand out. He Isn't the de fensive player that Holm is, hut is a better offensive player, according 1 to most roacBVs and officials. Corrick of l.iucoln Is snnther | good fullhsck. hut not ss good ss | Holm. He was placed on the sec ond team. Muxen was switched from fnllbprk to halfback on the second team. His running mate Is i none other than “Wally" Marrow, also of Central. We believe Mux en and Marrow would make a dandy pair of halfbacks as both are fast leaving their position and good broken field runners. Mar row was out of the came because of an Injury during the early part of the season and this hurt Ills chances of landing on the first team. . On Hie wing position* on the first tPain are Mayo of Cambridge and1 Clarke of Central. Name t\vo better ends. Doth were the favorites <nr their positions by !h“ roaches and official*. Mayo's playing In the Cambridge Tech game showed that he knew hi* stuff. Clarke's work against Lincoln and Tech was worthy of credit. Like Mayo, the Central end Is f**t on getting down under punts and can catch passe*. They are the heat In the atat# on de fensive and offenalva play, Gray and Garvey of Fremont and Tech, respectively, were good ends, especially the former, hut not good enougtL, In the opinion of the coaches, to win berth* on the first team, The tackle positions belong to Driver of Hartlngton end Prerost nf( Tech The out slater Is snld to ho one of the best linemen In NeJjjas ka. He opened up many big holes in the opposition's line pnd Is a mlehtv good tnrkler. Prerost.' play ing his first year at Tech. Is a ''hear" on the defense Against Central, Lincoln snd Cambridge the Tech tackier was always on the |oh. He opened up holes whenever the play cam* his vav, and Is one of those high school plovers who seems to he In every play. McFarland of Crawford snd F. Tludall of Llnrnln also are good tackles. The guard positions go to the husky Lucas of Terh and Mousel of Cambridge. I, liras tips the Itesm st 210 pounds In his socks and was played at tackle through out tile season, hut most coaches believed that he would lie n heller guard than tackle. Surely his | weight would win him a position, hut hr has more than weight, lie is a good defensive player and at guard, We believe, would show up even better than lie did at tackle. Motlsii 1- a good all around play er, bol'.i on Hie defense and of fense lie was a lower of strength or the left side of (lie Cambridge line throughout the season snd wasn’t slow in ilinming.

Short ran play all position* on the line and during the season just closed proved it. Pam Canlglta, captain and renter on the Creighton Frep eleven, was th« rholee of most conchas and offi cials for renter on the first mythical team. He deserved the position as lie was easily lh" best pivot man In the state. Canlglia didn't have much opposition this season. Frady of No llgh, captain of the second team, cave the Creighton Frep a rare for the honor, but didn't come anywhere near heating the scrappy little Sam out of the position. That completes the 1!>24 first mythleal high school leant. A* we said early In this yarn, the selec lions may not meet with the ap proval of all, Jiut we have no alibis to offer. Furthermore. we shall make the usual statement that nnr all state high school team, IF we ran get our players together for a game, will heat shy other man’s all state mvthleal eleven, IF he can drag them together to meet us. The hjrkflehl of our first team !» a yard-gaining machine from A to 7. We have named Leroy 7u*t eaptaln and have given him the honor of doing the punting. How ever, Clarke of Central ran be hauled hark of the line and punt good enough to eause the opposi tion to play deep. Our first team has a smart line.

It—The Quan tlco Marines football annihilated the Third Corps of the Army, 47 to 0 here this afternoon, led by Frank Goettlfe, they smashed their way through the Army line, bewildered the Army secondary defenses by dazzling end runs and totally demor alised the doughboys by a series of overhead plays.

This, of course, doesn’t exactly please Friend Ed. Ed and friends were In a blind when a flock of snujv geese were sighted. Ed can call geese with his voice, so he started in. The geese swerved, swung and headed for the decoys. They came in slowly, but a little outside, yet in range. “Ijet them go,” said Ed, "they’ll swing again and come In right.” The geese swung as predicted and started toward the decoys—but they pasaed over two hank hunters and they managed to scratch a kill and a cripple out of the flock. Away went the geese. "It only happens once in a life time," said Ed in his philosophical way. “We'll get them next time.” i Then came a flock of Canada geese. About 80 of them. Fine, big fellows. Ed railed and they came in range, but not as Ed would have them. “Let 'em swing," ordered Ed. the friends held fire. The geese circled, set their wings and headed in toward the decoys in perfect formation. The hunters expected to get plenty of them as the birds were only about 15 feet above the water. But they passed over four limit rrs on a small tow head Htid they cut loose. After a lot of shooting and more missing they managed to get six birds down. Ed and his friends watched the geese fly away. "From now on.” remarked Ed. “those who shoot the geese can do the calling. I’ve decoyed all the geese for the other hunters that I’m co nc to—1 twice in one day takes th» cake, es peclally when they do such rotten shooting.” Play for “Pro” j Grid Title Today On today'* game between the Chi cago Hears and tha Cleveland Bull dog* at Cub* park in Chicago rests the National Professional Football league championship.
