The team won " two "Y" meets and two of its men were on the varsity crosscountry team Seven Colleges A re Represented on Mythical All-Missouri Valley Conference Foot Ball Team By EDWARD W. COCHRANE. With one or two exceptions the selection of mythical "all" teams in the Missouri Valley, Kansas and Missouri state conferences and the M. I. A. A. has been an easier task this year than usual because of the mere fact that most of the. men chosen have been outstanding stars of the teams they represent. Espe ciallv is this true in the Valley, where eleven men have played such remark able foot ball that it was easy to see some time before the close of- the season that only serious injuries that would keep them out ot part ot tne games could keep them off of the honor roll. . . The places are fairly well distrib uted. Nebraska, which Avon three straight games without a defeat and had a remarkable team that went cast and beat Pittsburgh university, one of the powerful eastern elevens, sets three, Missouri, second in the championship race because of a de feat at the hands of the Knasas Aggies, lands two places. The Ag gies, thlrd-a team that tas Well" balanced but with few real stars gets one place. So do Ames, Drake and Oklahoma. Kansas is given two places because of the fact that the two men" were stars and would shine on an "all" team if such a team were put into the fitfld. Blumer Made Captain. Herbert Blumer of Missouri ia placed at right tackle; and given the captaincy of the eleven. Blumer ha played a remarkable game all year, is a sure tackier, has not given an inch of ground in any game in which I have seen .him, has an ideal dis position and is a capable leader. His Courtesy to opponents and to offi cials make him the type of man that foot ball teams need for leader to uphold the high standard of sports manship In the conference. Blumer has played better foot ball at tackle this year than - arty' tackle the Old Gold and BlacH has had in many years and the Tigers have been no ted for strong tackles. The other tackle is Lyman of Ne braska. His work, together with that of Swanson, has been a feature of the line play of the Cornhuskers. Lyman is a big, powerful man. He has crashed through the line time after time, even against such teams as Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, and thrown the opposition for Josses. Real Stars at finds. The end positions go to Swanson of Nebraska and Loftg of Drake. Ted Long was captain of the Drake team. In the three game I have seen him play he has never allowed a gain around his end. He goes ddwn under punts well, is a splendid receiver of the forward pass, is cool, aggressive and an ideal than for the wing posi tion. He also makes an ideal field leader and the question 6f captain lay between him and Blumer. Long has a splendid disposition. His work at Drake has been a feature of the team's play for three years. This is his final one. He is a big. rangy fellow with plenty of drive. He has every requirement for a wing man. Swanson is captain of the Corn huskers. His work in receiving passes, stopping the opposition in its attempts ta skirt his end, his tackling and general play have been the fea tures of the Nebraska success of 1921. Ther isn't a team in this country that he could not make as a regular at end. Eastern critic have named Swanson as one of the stars of the season and he likely will get recognition on other mythical elevens. Tw Powerful Guards. " Hahn of the Kansas Aggies .and Jones of Kansas are placed at the guard positions, -Cither man is a power en both offense and defense. Each has crashed through opposing lines as though they were seives and neither has been outplayed in games that I have witnessed. .The Aggie team did not have a crew of stars, but a well-balanced aggregation and the line play of the eleven was a fra rori art year. ; Hafca appeared to bi )wk site titfte thr-ft x $a which won fourth place in the Mis souri Valley meet -at Lincoln. The photo above shows the team just after it won its cross-country run at Omaha Thanksgiving day. The harriers arc, left to right, Harry All-Missouri Valley Eleven By EDWARD W. .COCHRANE.

But any one or three men could have been . given a place, the other two being Sebring at end and Schmitz at tackle, who are put on the second, team. Sebring played a brand of foot ball against Oklahoma that has not been outdone in the val ley this season." .. Jones is captSin of the Jayhawkers. His work, especially in the Missouri game, has earned liiro the place. 1 Wallace of Ames is playing his last year and captains the Iowa State eleven. He has been the best Center in ' the Valley since Sprong left Drake. There is no disputing his right to it. The only center he has not outplayed is Bunker of Missouri, who would be given the place in preference to any other center in the Valley, and there was k close contest between them for it. Bunker-is a great foot ball playef and really de serves a place on the first team. Hi work has been a feature of the Tigers' attack and defense. He has an ideal disposition and is always fighting his hardest to win. Except for the fact that Hahn and Jones deserve places at guard. Bunker w6uld have ben placed at a guard position on the first team because it seems an injustice to kep him off of that eleven. A Star Baekfield. . The baekfield chosen will outplay any other baekfield that can be selected from the big. field of Splen did backs in the valley. Lewis of Missouri is placed at quarter. His kicking, his broken field running and his line charging have made him a sDeetacular star ever since he donned the moleskins to fight for the Old Gold and Black. Opposing teams have been coached to stop Lewisr They have not stopped him. His Work all of this season, especially against Oklahoma, Kansas and Ames, was spectacular. He is one of the greatest baekfield men ths valley has ever seen. He is a splen did passer. . , - , j ' Hartley has no opposition at full back. The giant Cornhusker hits the line like a bullet. His drive has placed the ball back of the foe's goal line for the Nebraska eleven many times this year. He starred against Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Okahoma and other teams. Hill is at halfback on the mythical all-valley team for the second year. Oklahoma did not have its usual strong eleven, but Hill's work both on attack and defense did a great deal to beat Kansas and Washington, and to hold other teams to as low figures as were recorded. Hill is a sh6rf. stocky back . with a. lot of speed for a man of his build and plenty of drive. His work is espe cially good on defense. Good Man on Second Team. McAdams of Kansas is a splendid kicker, a good running mate for Hill because of his speed, broken field -running and receiving ot passes. McAdams is the one bright star on the Jayhawker baekfield and could make arty team in the vallty with ease His righting spirit atone makes McAdams a valuable player. I have aireaiy mentioned some of the second team men. Of the others Drake gets three line positions, be cause the Drake lice played stellar j Kretzler, George Fisher, Edgar Al len and Teddy Slemmons. Allen finished first in the race. Fisher, Allen and Slemmons will be eligible for next year's varsity team. . foot ball all season. That line was the talk ofhe valley where Drake played; Marsh of Oklahoma ha,s payed befter foot ball at end than his running mate, Haskell, who wasJ all-valley first team tnan a year ago. Prestoil of NebrasR fan Lewis a close race for the quarterback posi tion on the first 'team. 'He is a re markable ouartifback. Lincoln of Missouri is a giant and a power on attack. Matthews of Washington is the . best of the Pikeway eleven. Wright of Nebraska cannot ba fceat- en out Of a trackheld place on the sec ond team.

Vcrdigre was to have pliyed htre on Thanksgiving, but the game was canceled. Coach Feel haver declares that he has some mighty good basket ball material and a good team should result. The schedule, which is a heavy one. will be announced in a few days, 1 tOW that the 1921 foot ball sea- (on it fast passing into history " and rumors are floating around about pott-season games between far west and eastern teams, why couldn t a little poat-teason contest, between two middle western elevens, namely Iowa and Nebraska, b made to prove a success. ' t Iowa, champion of the' "big 10," Is considered the strongest eleven among the "big league" of the mid dle west, while Coach l-'red Daw son's, Cornhuskers have been pro nounced by many critics of the game as one of the strongest aggregations of pigskin warriors ever developed at the University of Nebraska. A few years ago both Iowa and Nebraska tangled on the gridiron. A great share of the victories went to Nebraska. The Hawkeyes ram bled through the past season without a defeat, while the Cornhuskers won every game with the exception of the Notre Dame struggle, which they lost, 0 to 7. A post-season game between these two teams Would be the biggest drawing card ever staged in this sec tion of the country. Sure thousands of foot ball followers lit the middle west would attend such a struggle as would result from a post-season contest beltween the Iowa university and the University of Nebraska. rTWlE basket ballfules for the I 1921-1922 campaign as outlined r.. .1.. . i a c u:.... Ill U1B UMIlldl n. j. opauiuH'K basket ball guide, which reached Omaha last week, show that the great indoor sport will be played under slightly altered rules this sea son. mils a player who receives the ball while standing still to take one step in any direction while in the act of putting the ball in play in any man ner. Last season the player was not allowed to take this step if he dribbled, but could take it if he passed or shot for a basket. The change will be a great' help to offi cials, for the interpretation of this dribble rule was the cause of much trouble. The rules this season regarding the jumpers have been made more strict. Both players are required to place one hand m contact with the middle of the back and keep it there until the ball has been tapped. The referee also is given the power tcr" keep 6ther players far enough away from the jumpers to prevent interference with them in anyway. ; "Time out" may be called for only by the captain of the team in posses sion of the ball, unless a player plain. ly is injured. In past years in close games when the time was about up and the team that was behind had the ball taking it toward its own goal, the captain of the team id the lead frequently called time to break up the play. However, officials re garded this time out as unsports manlike and have paid no heed to the demand ior time out until the team with the low scdre lost posses sion of the ball.

' i Never before in the history of the oi scotch game has soccer played such an important part in Omaha athletics as this year. The sport has grown within the last twb years until now it has found a place in the grade schools- bf the city, and it will not be long until colleges and universities in this section of the country will be organizing Soccer teams. - The Omaha and District Soccer league deserves a world of credit for making the game what it is to day in Omaha. THE X-ray 'of the New York state athletic commission just now are directed toward Jack Curely and his associates. The ef fort is being made to discover just how deeply Curley might have been Involved in the efforts of John Pe sek to kill off wrestling under the promotion of Tex Rickard In Mad ison Square Garden. It seems that- Rickard, who pro moted the Pesek-PIestina match two weeks ago, had planned to stage a series, of contests this winter in an effort to bring Zbyszko, Plestina and several of the other grapplers together on the mat. Curley, who has held sway ovef wrestling in New York, and ruled several of the big wrestlers, saw that he was sliding and gradually would be pushed out of the lime light by Rickard. Reports from Gotham inform ns that the trust, which undoubtedly framed the Pesek-PIestina match to kill off wrestling and Rickard, is trembling now. It fears tliat the commission will not stop at its prob ing until it has discovered the men behind the trust. Meanwhile, Pesek is resting at his home in Ravenna, Neb.

Iowans On Echie's All-Star Elevens (Continued From Page One.) Princeton and Wisconsin struggles should earn him an alNAnierican berth. In these struggles he not only smashed the interference, but re peatedly tackled the man with the ball. He has few equals as a receiver or passes. Against Ohio State and Wis consin, he pulled down What seemed impossible chances. There is no bet ter end in the section at boxing a tackle or covering points. It was mainly his work which kept Cap tain Keck of Princeton out of all Chicigo plays. Cyril Myers, captain of Ohio State, is awarded the other flank. The Buckeye leader was good last sea son, but his general play this au tumn has been a marked improve ment. He was a tower of offensive strength in the Chicago game, as Well as in all Ohio's contests, and his ability to size up a situation quickly enabled his team to defeat the Ma roons. Myers started a- forward pass play close to the Maroon goal, but saw an opening in thf middle of the Chicago lihe and dashed through it for the only score of the gihie. He makes a valuable running mate to Crislcr.. Locke a Successor to Beidek. Belding of Iowa is another great end who 'is nearly the equal of Cris ler and Myers. Gould of Wisconsin is an ideal wing player, although he has been used as an offensive half back lhost of the year and end on de fense. J ebell of . Wisconsin and Goebel of Michigan are among the other' strong flank players of the Vcar. Gordon Locke of Iowa, the hardest-hitting fullback seen in the con ference since the days of Hugo BCz dek at Chicago and Frank Longman 6f Michigan, is given the fullback position without hesitation. It is seldom that defeated players have pfaise for a member of a victorious team, but from what Notre Dame and Illinois warriors told of Locke's blunging ability the Hawkeye should bear all-Amcrican consideration. Locke is .the type of player whd can unfailingly make a yard when needed for first down. He drives hard and low, recovers quickly, and gathers speed just as fast When opposition is met he digs his toe into the ground and generally roots himself free of tacklers. He starts so fast and gathers momentum so speedily that he makes ground when opposition is met. He is a strong man in the interference and an ideal player to back up i line or play one corner of a box defense. Thomas of Chicago was a great of fensive fullback, who hit the line with nearly as much drive as Locke. Captain Sundt of Wisconsin was an other good fullback , and reliable punter. Captain Kyle of Indiana and Petterson of Northwestern were the other good fullbacks in the confer ence. Don Peden of Illinois is placed at left halfback. Although injured in early games. Peden gamely stayed in the competition and was th most consistent ground gainer of the year for the Zuppke eleven. He is fast and clever, a sure handler of the ball, and an accurate passer. It was his toss to Walquist which resulted in the touchdown against Ohio State. Peden could be used to skirt the ends or dash off tackles on come back or cut in play. He gets under way quickly, picks holes in faultless fashion, and is reliable in th inter ference. On the defense he is jtisf a valuable becau; of bis ability to size up plays and move to the point of attack far the deired results. Elliott of Wisconsin is given the other halfback position because of his value to the Badger eleven this season. Elliott is one of the ofT- tackle driving type and runs with. Caledonian Soccer team of the Oinaha Omaha and is scheduled to start at power. He played excellent foot ball all season and was on the passing He is a deadly tackier and good in terferes Cappon of Michigan is another great halfback, and there is little to choose between him and the men se lected for the first 6leven. This player was a tower of offensive strength in the Illinois and Wisconsin games, and performed as will as any Michi gan man in the Minnesota struggle. Captain Walquist of Illinois is another valuable back. He Was played at quarterback most of the season, but was out of position. Cole of Chicago, Martineau of Minnesota, Stuart of Ohio State, and Williams of Wisconsin were other outstanding halfbacks. Vick Gets Center Position. Ernie Vick of Michigan is placed at center. Th Wdlverine has been one of the most Valuable men to his team all Season. He seldom gets hurt, and knows a lot of foot ball. He is an accurate passer, one of the first rquirements in a pivot player, whil his aggressiv play on defense had a lot to do with Michigan Vic tory over Illinois and its tie game With Wisconsin. Although Yost played Vick at tackle on defense, he would he an ideal player to have at one corner of a box defense. His general kndwledge of foot : ball makes him the logical choice fof the position. Bunge 6f Wisconsin is nearly the equal of the Wblverinc. The Badger has played aggressive foot ball all season and s one of the best players on the Cardinal eleven, Heldt of Iowa, King of Chicago and Hathaway of Northwestern were the other leadintr centers. Charles McGuire, captain of the Chicago eleven, is placed at right tackle. The big Maroon leader has given comparatively no ground ail season, while he aided considerably in making the fullbacks' gains pos sible by opening up holes. He is 4 fighter of th first water who falltu o weaken when he faced th re doubtable Stanton Keck of Prince ton. "Duke" Slater, giant negro of the Iowa eleven, is given the other tackle position. Slater Should be a candidate for All-American honors. There is little about line play thai he does not know, and it was mainly through his efforts that Locke gained so much ground against Notre Dame and Illinois. Ri weighs ,207 pounds and. is over six feet tall. H is fairly fast and shirty and is seldom kept out of plays. Brader of Wisconsin was anothct great tackle. Huffman and Spier of Ohio were a fine pair of men for the positions, while Carman of Pur due could make a tackle position oi any team in the country, and be rated a star. , Dunne and Trott, Guards. "Duke" Dunne, captain of Michi gan, is awarded the left guard posi tion. Dunne has been cf great service to his alma mater. He start ed out as an end. and has plaved practically every position in the line. He played himself out in the Ohio State game, but was in every play While he lasted. He performed well against Illinois, and put up a stellar game against Wisconsin. - In the Badger struggle he blocked forward passes and spoiled plays before they were formed. A shoulder injury compelled him to leave the battle at the endof the first half. Trott of Ohio State, a great for ward, i given the other guard posi tion. The Buckeye was a reliable performer last season, but showed to even better advantage this year. He has permitted few gains through his position, and broke lip many formations used by opponents. He I as been down under punts and has done fime tackling on the wings. Redmon a Strong Guard. Rcdmon of Chicago, Mohr of Illinois, Minlck of Iowa. McCaw of Indiana, and G. Penfield of North western uere other etrong guards. (Corrrtght, ty Chicago Tribune.) Has Brightest Career of Celt-' ings in America Biggest . MoneyWinning Geld ing ia "World.
