All those points havo boon brought together in tho selection of tho Dally Nebrasltan's olovon. Reppert at End. Rapport of Ames Is selected for left end because of his speed and nggresslvoness. lie lights against an tho Missouri valley. Ho doos not bo como fatigued and no matter how hard tho gamo Is, ho plays just as good ball at Its closo uh ho does at tho beginning. Captain Harvoy of Nebraska 1b given tho othor wing position. Ho Is tho best end In tho valley to work with tho forward pass. Ho gets down under tho ball well and with a fair ly accurate uhh can bo rolled upon to get the bail. With an accuralo pasBor like Beltzer, of his own toam, ho Is a most dangerous mnn for any team to guard on tho lorward pass. On tho defense ho plnys a brilliant game, being a hard fighter. Ho plays end so well that ho Ib not oasily circled for gains. His exhibition in the Kansas-Nebrnska gamo proved .his worth. Ho is made captain becnuso of his good judgment In tho uso of ploys. Driver, of MlBBourl, and Hyland, of Iowa, aro put at onds on tho second cloven. Both havo played consistent ball ail season. Driver has dono nnd especially the Nebraska contest. HIb strong point iB In getting through the lino and breaking up plays. Ho is a tireless worker, and gots Into every piay and frequently stops dan gerous advances. Prum of Nebraska and Caldwell of JbbLbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbLb'"' r 'BBBBBvjBBBm tR VI'ibbbbW BLLH BrLBT JLBBBBBBBBLflU be by far tho strongest that could bo brought together In tho Missouri vnlloy. Ewing's strength and stead iness make him a most valuable man. Ho plays tho same kind of ball evory gamo and has kept his position Im pregnable to attacks In all excepting the Kansas gamo. Ho is a tiroloss workor. Reed Is a groat player in making intorferonco for a backflold man. Ho Is bo bulky that It is hard for any team to gain through his position. Ho nas considerable speed for a man of his size nnd has adapted himself to the new gamo. Ho Ib a great de fensive player. Soidel of Iowa and M filer of Iowa aro given places on tho second eleven. They play an aggressive game and hold up well on the defenso. Hnrte of NebrnBka deserves special mention. He is a gritty player and lights hard. He would make a groat offensive player at fullback. Cooko of Nebraska is placed at quarter. This Is his third year with the Cornhuskors, and he has become punting. In tho Kansas game it was hlfl work that prevented tho Jay hawkers from scoring in tho first half and that kept tho score down to ten points in tho second. Hubbard at Halfback. Hubbnrd is given the other half bo cause of his fierce playing In all gamoB. Ho runs back punts long dis tances; makes long end runB, and is an oxcollont dodger. Law, Ames Tackle Reppert, Ames End Collins, Nebraska Center opposing player with a fierceness that is WoarIng on a man. Ho Is alwayB In the game and oven the fastest ends cannot got away from him. Ho is the hardest man to box there Is In more toward making Missouri a factor in the Missouri valley than any other player on that toam. Ho la speedy and steady. Hyland de- sorveB groat credit for his showing in tho Iowa-Kansas and NobraBka-Iowa games. In both of those contests ho played brilliant ball. Ho works well with tho forward pass and Is a stub born man to box. Johnson of Nebraska and Hennes sey of Kansas play orllllant ball at times and give promise of becoming stoady players. Chaloupka Great Tackle. To Chaloupka of Nebraska is given tho greatest honors as a tackle and he is undoubtedly tho unanimous choice of all tho critics for onp of tho positions. His play from tho' opening of the season lias been strong. Ho Is such n-worker that ho shares tho task of the ends. Ho gots down tho field on punts nnd during tho season has been a groat aid to his captain In working off plays .on tho offonso. On tho defense no has tho wolght that makos an aggressive playor and tho force to mako a good ground gainer. Ho hits the opposing line with power ful plungCB and 1b an oxcollont man to call out of tho lino to carry tho ball. Captain Law, of Ames, Is picked for tho other tackle position on account of his splendid play In all the games, Kansas both havo shown strength and steadiness. They can stand a great deal of hammering. Prum is a good man to open holes for a playor who Is carrying tho ball. Ho shows up well when Chaloupka Is called upon to carry tho ball through IiIb aide of the line. To Collins of Nebraska falls tho center position. His power, accurate passing and aggresslvo play ontitle him to the leading honors at tho piv otal position. Carlson of Kansas is also a great aggressive player at cen ter and he showed up well in both the Iowa and Nebraska games. Ho is placed on the second eleven. Ewing Strong Guard. To Hank Collins Ewing of Nebraska nnd Reed of Kansas are selected as J i bk .bbHbb bbW KFbbm bbt JBmAlT' iJF BBHBBBBr BBBBBBBf .BBBBBBBBJ BBT H . BBBl BBBBW bkbbc'-Q''4MDb1F Harvey, Nebraska End Boltzer of Nebraska and Bond of Kansas are made half backs of tho second team. Beltzer's punting and excellent work In throwing the ball on tho forward pass entltlo him to recognition. He Is the best man -in the valley in passing the ball for ward, and If he had developed In drop kicking he would be" the unanimous choice for a position on tho first eleven. Bond of Kansas is placode on tho second team because of his charging and speed. He can carry tho ball long distances and often. Blrkner of Nebraska plays a steady gamo and in another year should bo a wonder. Temple of Nebraska Is another player who deserves men tion. Ho can play at either halfback or fullback. He is a powerful playor on the defense and In another year will develop greatly. Cooke,' Nebraska Quarterback E. Lambert, Ames Fullback guards. Those three men mako an ideal center trio and would probably a competent Held general. He is speedy, and is extromely valuable to a team because of his ability to make long runs. This he has shown groat improvement in his work. Ho dodges bettor than before and has quit his fatal running back when carrying tho ball. Dcatherage on Second Team. Deatherago of Missouri ib given tho quarterback position on tho socond team. Ho is a master of tho open gamo and Ib very tricky. Johnson of Kansas has at times snown speed nnd headwork which in another year ought to mako him a groat quarter. Without doubt "Si" Lambert of Ames is' tho unanimous choico for fullback. Ho has speed comblnod with groat headwork that makes him a power in tho backfleld. JIIb speed enabloB him to circle ondB and plrm'j through tho lino. His handling of the forward pass is a strong point for him. Kroger of Nebraska and Rico of Kansas are hard lino hitters and have shown brilliancy that is worthy of note. Rice gains well when carrying the ball and is placed on. tho second olovon, Kirk of -Iowa and Hubbard of Amos aro chosen as the backflelds. Kirk Ib selected for his drop kicking and Oregon agricultural college has In troduced a new department this year, that of public speaking, which will bo a compulsory proquisite to a dogroo in nil courses. . j!feJifiSBflBBBW iaBBBHBBBLBW Chaloupka, Nebraska Tackle Ohio students aro planning to build a union cjub house on tho campus, and hope to have It completed when school opens next fall.
