Harriers of the University of Ne
braska Medical College of Omaha
hung up an enviable record this
year. 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

the hest fif the line at hi DOsitioh.
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

for Winter's Campaign
Bloomfield, Neb.. Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) Basket ball practice has
started at the Bloomfield high
school. 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-

" 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.

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.
THE Oklahoma City 'club of the
Western league will have a new1

John Holland, president of the In

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

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

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

behind the trust.
Meanwhile, Pesek is resting at his

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.
