ECKERSALL ANNOUNCES SELECTION Nebraska Guard Takes His Place Among Best Players in the West.

Pucelik has completed his career as a football player at Ne braska and Is considered as one of the greatest line men ever turned out at the Husker institution. He has been a member of the varsity for the past three years, playing ;it tackle and guard in most of the contests. Pucelik was given honorable men tion by Walter Camp last year as being one of the great tackles of the country. Captain Clarence Swanson and Dave Noble were given berths on the second all-western soloction by Eck ersall. Swanson Is without a doubt one of the greatest football players ever produced at Nebraska and his loss will probably be the greatest ot the year. He has played four years of varsity football and has received recognition all over the country for his football ability. "Swannle"' was given honorable mention by Walter Camp last year In his roll of honor. Swanson's ability to catch passes has been one of the big grievances of op posing teams for the past four years.
