Of riwen Frank KckersaU says:
"Roaenwald and Sauer, . selections tor
bft and right halfbacks, respectively, on
the all-conference team, are picked for
this eleven. Considering the duties which
the" halfbacks .must perform under the

find a pair who would execute the num
ber of playa on offense In faultleaa style
and also be factors on the defunae. Cralj

are placed on the second eleven. The
former played a wondejful gam against
Pennsylvania, while the latter wag one

Cornhuakers held Michigan to a to

Other Nebraska men mentioned by
Eckersall are; Elliott, center; Chauner,

Mr, KckersaU preface hla selections
with the following:
, lacladea All the Weet.
After honoring thoaa player who had
don the beet work during tbe conference
season. It la only Just to select aa All-
V estern eleven, the cand.date for which
may Include every team In this section.
The selection, after a careful review ot
the swaaon play. Is simple compared to
former years,' lor lliore are many player
whose anility stands out
i "As It Is Impossible for one person to see
all the teams and players Iu action during
a season, a number of facta have been
gathered from persona who are autocri
ne In their respective sections, and In
making the selections the opinions of
other have been given careful considera
tion. In many casus there la one player
on some team who would be a star if he
wer a member of a lai ge college eleven,
while In other Inaluucee the support some
uien have received from their teammate
lucreaaed their value greatly.
W pele Seaaaa'a Week Coaata,
"Aa la the eel action of the conference
Mar eleven, ao. many essential toot ball
qualification must be. taken into con
sideration that a team cannot be selected
unless the work of different men haa beta
watched tu every contest, so no player
ha been placed on this eleven for his
playing tn one struggle. Hard, consistent
playing, offensively and defensively, are
the main points wblrb have been con
sidered and Justice to ail has been at-teazled,"

NEW YORK, Dec 2-Thos who are
keen on doping th form or sprinters have
It figured - out - now that the American
team far Stockholm -will be weak in
sprinters that Is, except something good
show out of the spring training of the
college. To figure-down, to a fine-point
they-say that there is not a sprinter new
In the United States -capable of doing
even time on a correct track and with
good dockers. - Here and there In tho
east several have been credited with 10
seconds and better, but halt the time it
Is with- novice timers, and other new
comers in the athletic world. Even to
take the winner of the beat of the dis
trict .championships or the national meet
scarcely any of the victor would be fit
te do better than 10 seconds if tried out
well in th old world. A .notable case of
-tha-. difference . was Ramsdell, . the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania sprinter, who loir
a while-here was supposed to be a bio t?
-coroa inside - "evens" every duy he donhfd
hi running toggery, yet when be went to
England he erly-burst himself trying
to do lOVs seconds for the century. Ho
fared still! worse when he went to Ger
many, to- glva, aa ha thought, a display
of speed, for Rau, tbe Teutonic . title--holder,
-made - Tex - look like a selling:
plater.
i Had th game been, a year earlier the
American team-would have the services
of Craig of i Michigan, who wa able on
any favorable .day to beat even for the
hundred or. furlong, but there will be no
Craig next apHngv-and except soma new
maa shows between now and -then Amer
ica, .may v have to play second fiddle . to
Germany or some other nation. ' Of course .
there are thoa in athletics who pereuade
themselves that you can find . an Olympic
winner In the- metropolitan district at this
moment, and they point to the perform
ances on some local tracks to bear out
the. theory. I.
They Were : Misinformed,
-.-lit' 1908, when the games- were held In
London, the Btars and Stripes was pretty
well off for sprinting material, yet a pair
of seconds and a third was the beet the
boy could do. It waa generally regarded
her by th misinformed- and the thought-,
lea that America would walk away with
all th honois In the 1U0 and 300 meters.
Thar was Cartmell. the Intercollegiate
ahamplon. and Jim Rector, who was sup
posed at on time to have covered the
sentury-'la seconds and who at the
tryouta . in Philadelphia- electrified the
crltioa by.maklng K seconds for the 100
meter In one of hi heat. 1 Others In th
Yankee. -category were May. Hamilton,
Cloughen, Stevens and Huff, but .only
Reetor and Cartmell worked Into the final
sound of th 100 meter. Though Rector
showed the way for a while Walker wore
him down and: the South African won by
more than a yard in the record time of
Vfti seconds. It was no disgrace to 'be
beaten by a man who set up a world's
markv.ut It would be much mora satis
factory had Rector been In front. Cart
mell .waa laat... Kerr, the Canadian, split
ting himself and hla team mate. Cloughti.
and Cartmell got second and third re
spectively in th tO meter and they were
closer-to victory than In the shorter dis
tance, only about nin Inches separating
Cloughen. from Kerr, the winner. Cart
mell was third, about - a toot 'behind
Cloughen.. Such as they were, then theie
Is not anything like them now,, and It will
be aurprlaing If a real crack should make
his - appearance before - next June,
i Gnalaad Will lie- Tkere.
That England intends to put her best
leg forward at tha next Olympic game
there ia no doubt. Preparation for tho
team have already begun and in order to
be well acquainted with th battlegrounu
th Rev. 8. J. De Courcy Laf f In, a sec
relary of the British Oiymplo council.
paid a visit to Stockholm recently. After
hi return be stated that In all probability
England would send a team of between
ZOt and too men. having a full entry In
all the events, and he thought by bavins
plenty of material ..that th Britishers '
would come aay with the honois.
Among other things, he said that in all
forty nation would b represented this
lime and the stadium, he thought, would
be very art stlc when complete. It w ill
be smaller than th one at London, a fact
which will Insure a. better view of the
field event. Nat Perry of th London
Athletlo club wall have th Job of build
ing the track and it will be aa fast as
has ever been aeen at any of the Olympic
