By RALPH WAGNER,
TMUS proved an excep-
I tionally good year for
scholastic foot ball in
Ncbrtftka. There was such
a wealth of high-class ma
terial on - the various teams
throughout Cornhusker land
that the situation regard
ing the championship is just
as complicated as the titular
honors in the college ranks.
Upsets played havoc with the
aspirations of some of the
elevens.
Keen observers of the sport, how-
cr, are awarding Coach Keith Ne
llie's North Platte team the state
title in-.' view of the fact that the
western eleven was the only one to
go through the season without a
defeat. '' Hartiiigton and Tckamah
high will not look favorably on the
Swarding to North Platte of the
stale championship, but when one
stops to consider that the, Neville
gridsters met and defeated the
strongest elevens in v the state it is
. another! question.
Hartiiigton also piled up a good
record during the past season. Tc
kamah is another state high which
has not met defeat. All of the hap
penings described make it a matter
of personal opinion in picking the
mythical titleholder. ' ; We do not
care to pick a titleholder for the
simple reason that we believe the
State High School Athletic associa
tion should make some arrangement
whereby the leading teams at the
close of each season could meet in
an elimination tourney to decide the
red and honest-to-gopdness , high

Plenty Good Players.
5 In previous years there has either
been an abundance of good ends,
tackles, guards, centers or backs.
This season there has been a splen
did assortment of players in all the
, positions. Therefore it has been
more difficult than ever before in the
past to arrive at definite conclusions
regarding the gridders, entitled to
places on The Omaha - Bee's- All-
Scholastic first, second and third
teams. " ' " '
v In making the final selections
every player, no matter how weak
his team turned out to be, was
ven due ' consideration. There
will be many who will not agree
with us,' but it is only a matter ot
opinion and we have done our best.
In some instances ' there were so
many players of equal caliber, so a
careful analysis of the good and bad
points of the players in question
was . made.
, ,: Coaches Assist. . ,
: Ninety-two state high schoo'v
coaches and foot ball officials as
sisted in selecting the above teams
f this season. These coaches and
(..officials returned to the writer their
selections for all-state first and sec
ond squads." We believe that the
92 coaches and officials represent a
large majority of foot ball tutors
and officials in Nebraska and are,
therefore. well , qualified to select
all-starl elevens.
However, in picking the gridsters
tor their respective places . the
coaches ".and officials were asked to
consider the ability of the candidate
. for his place on the eleven, not only
from a standpoint pi playing ; foot
ball, but from standpoint of clean
sportsmanship while on the field.
I'l - ! J . .
X ncy wcic aiau -ituumcu nut u
select a player for his spectacular
plays, but because of his all-around
work. The majority of foot ball
fans seldom stop to consider, what
made a sensational end run, drop
kick, line smash or return of a punt
er kick-off. ,
While the fans are being thrilled
by spectacular end runs or line
smashes, there are players on the
just as hard, although not in the
S k v v isica, v V v wa
spot light at the time of the play.
Local School Represented.
The makeup of the first all-stats,
leant shows that North Platte, Lin-i
coin and Beatrice each ' have two
representatives on the . eleven.
Commerce, Central and South high
of Omaha each succeeded in plac
ing a player on the mythical team,
while Grand Island and Columbus
each landed a warrior on the squad.
This has been a remarkable year
for ends. The . most prominent of
the wing performers in Nebraska
were Healey of North Platte:
Matthews of Beatrice; Berg of
Omaha Central; Yost of North
Platte;-J. Graham of South high
and Carr of the Curtis Aggies. All
df these players were well versed in
their line of endeavor, but some had
a trifle on the others. .
Considering all the essential fea
tures of a good end, the places on
the first team were awarded to
Healey of North Platte and Mat
thews of Beatrice. Both were ex
ceptionally clever in getting down
under punts. Their tackling was
hard and accurate and they also
showed to good advantage in break
ing up end runs and gathering, in
forward passes for substantial gains.
Krasne and Galloway Tackles.
Conspicuous among the tacklers
Krasne of Omaha Commerce; Lay
ton of Beatrice: Stribbling of Oma
ha Central; Oehlrich f Columbus,
and Budwig of West IVint There
was little' to choos between the
V M . Jt .
yvys mentioned in cenain oeparc-
V, HIV gIU(, UUl III 411-diVUHU
ouity, uaiioway and Krasne out
W
shone the others. Because of this
they were given "first choice and
Layton and Stribbling were judged
second best,, - ;
,. Galloway was in a class' by him
self when it came to breaking
through and blocking kicks. This
Central gridster tore through the op
position and tackled, his jnan , . ac
curately." During the later iart of
the season he was shifted to th
backfield, -where he played a dandy
game. Like Galloway, Krasne-was
particularly efficient in breaking
through and smearing -the enemy's
pet plays. The latter opened big
holes for his team's backs in good
style. The husky Commerce tackle
could be relied upon to gain through
the line when called . upon. Both
Krasne' and, Galloway were seldom
found wanting in affording interfer
ence for their backs. It, can also
be said that the. pair were, alert in
taking out their- rivals' secondary
defense. Berg and Yost were also
good in the above procedure, but
were not ;. quite as effective as
Krasne Aand. Galloway. AH four,
however?-were deadly tacklers. v
; ' Guards Plentiful.
Powerful offensive and defensive
guards were plentiful. Harper of
L ncoln and Nixon of South Omaha
High, figured in the majority of their
team s plays, and, were terrors to the
opposition's, assault. They appeared
to oe superior to tneir tcuow - cus
todians of the; important position,
and were picked for the first team.
Thompson of Hartington and C.
Mousel of Cambridge were the other
selections. - Not far behind included
Jefferis of Omaha Central and
Mandary of Tecumseh.
The six bovs chosen ' were
"Johnny-on-the-Spot" when it came
to opening up holes in the line for
their backs to slip through. Oc
casions were numerous when they
broke through and confused the
other team's punter. Their skill in
nipping plays in the bud greatly
helped in dangerous situations.. On
the defense they were impregnable.
One of the most difficult tasks in
making the selections were encoun
tered in deciding on the most capable
centers." There was little to choose
between ;- Black, Grand Island;
Hutchinson, Lincoln and Garey, Te
kamah. Black Good Center.
For accurate passing there was
none equal ' to , Black of Grand
Island, and: consequently Jie was
found to have established a record.
He had passing down to a science,
and he snapped the ball with such
accuracy that his backs were able
to get off for much valuable ground.
He has the necessary "pep" for-a
successful center, .and because 'of his
quick thinking in diagnosing plays
he was most dependable. Hutchin
son of Lincoln and Garey of Teka
mah also held down their positions
well, but did not ' compare with
Black.
The backfield of the first all-state
eleven was easy to select.
Excelling in . all-around general
ship, Purdy of Beatrice was easily,
the peer of the quarterbacks,- al
though Rodwell of Cambridge and
Camero of Omaha Commerce dis
played a dandy brand of . piloting
throughout the season. , r
Purdy at Quarterback.
Purdy was everything that a good
quarterback should be. . In -, his
games against Commerce and Cen
tral in Omaha, as welt as his other
contests, he called off his signals
without a hitch and did tiot lose
any time in keeping the ball in mo
tion once his team had the enemy
on the run. His actions injected the
pep that wins games. Being thor
ooghly familiar with what each of
the other backs was capable of do -

ing, he acted accordingly. Most im
portant of all, he' used the other
backs none too frequently in order
not to cause them . to become
fatigued. He proved a terror in un
corking forward passes and his edu
cated toe sent the leather oval sail
ing. .for good distances each time.he
elected to punt. v '
Rodwell of Cambridge ' was ' an
other good quarter, but not in the
same class with Purdy. Camera ot
Omaha Commerce shone bright ' at
times. . 'However, the test between
Camero and Purdy came when Com
merce and Beatrice played at League
park. It was then that the follow
ers of the game saw it demonstrated
that Purdy was Camero's master.
The latter is named captain of the
third eleven.
Locke at Halfback.
Of the halfbacks, Locke of North
Platte was the real class.' It took
two or three would-be tacklers to
bring him down nearly every time
he handled the ball. He is fast and
shifty in a broken field, to say noth-r
ing of his line plunging ability. He
hit the line with tremendous force,
and was one of the most consistent
ground gainers in the state. He
demonstrated to the fans that he was
one of the best: halfbacks in tne
state in the Lincoln-North Platte
game Thanksgiving. V
.Locke has been selected to do the
kicking and assist Purdy in passing
on the. first eleven. .
Lewis of Lincoln, first choice ' for
left halfback, wa a vicious line
plunger and decidedly dependable
when it was necessary to gain
ground. Kline of Commerce was
also a nifty back as-, was Sink' of
tj-rand Island and VVicr of bupenor.
Armour of Hartington also showed
up well during the season. .
Ben Tryba Captain.
Ben Tryba of Columbus w-as the
popular choice for fullback on the
first all-state team. The Discovers'
representative was named captain of
the team and is deserving of the
title.
. Without a doubt Tryba is the
greatest broken-field runner de
veloped in Nebraska last season. His
spectacular runs of 75 and 90 yards
during the North Platte game con
stituted a feat that is worthy of men
tion. He is a hard-hitting . line
plunger and a deadly tackier.
' Sullivan of South Omaha high is
captain and fullback on the second
team. He is. another hard line
smasher as well as a good tackier.
Sullivan's playing against Commerce
and Central was one of the features
of South's play. His off-tackle dives
were ground gainers for Coach Pat
ton's team.
Rhodes of Ansley gave Sullivan a
close race for second team honors.
The Ansiey fullback is another of
the Tryba type.
The above three teams are not of
fered as the best in the country
among high school players. They are
our reply to the big demand from the
stove-pipe gridiron that food for
argument be served up to them pip
ing hot All three are good- teams,
we know. In fact, we know that none
better will be chosen anywhere. But
many as good will appear from east
to west and north to south, with
complexions rosy with local color.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 3. -r (Special
Telegram.). The annual hig!i school
basket ball tournament will be held
in Lincoln March 9, 10 and 11. This
announcement was made by the
state high school athletic association
today.
The Holdredge protest against
Alma for , alleged playing ineligible
foot ball men during the past season
cost Alma an honorable mention by
the state athletic board. The evi
dence which was piled up against the
Alma aggregation was very weighty
and as a consequence it was decided
that the alleged offenders should be
reprimanded, i , , ,
Alma was charged , with having
played Harry Sutton and Clarint:,
both ineligible men. Clarine's home
is at Oxford. Clarine was a good
player and, the evidence stated, was
one of the best scorers for Alma.
A letter from R. F. Essert, superin
tendent of the Alma schools, stated
that these : ineligible, men had not
been played in any game except with
the consent of the opposition's
coaches. .
Osceola, suspended for playing of
ineligible men, sent i delegation to
Lincoln to petition that their sen
tence of suspension be lifted and that
some other penalty be , substituted.
The Osceola delegation admitted a
flagrant violation of the schoolastic
rules, but promised to obey all rules
hereafter. State Senator Beebe ac
companied the Osceola delegation.
The committee has placed the peti
tion in abeyance. The board of con
trol of the Nebraska High School
Athletic association is composed of
Superintendent W. J. Braham. Sid
ney, chairman; Superintendent W. G.
Brooks, Nebraska City, secretary
treasurer, and Superintendent O. A.

Cornhusker Cage
Players Work Out
Lincoln. Dec. 3. (Special.) More
than 40 Cornhuskers are now busy
flipping the backet balls in the Coli
seum preparatory to the first Husker
game now three weeks off. Several
veterans are listed among the intra
mural dribblers, including Carman,
Warren, Captain Smith, Munger,
Hartley and others. Hartley, captain
elect of the grid team, is one of the
fastest players on the indoor squad
and promises to open up well in the
goal-flipping game. He has not yet
started working out, but will be in
his gym suit soon, he states.
The Husker schedule starts with
a clash at Lawrence. Kan against
the Jayhawks on December 20, and
will be followed with a game against
Washington university at Nebraska

' Washington added further to its

Cornhusker Mat
Men Expect Strong
Team This Year
r Lincoln, Dec. 3. (Special.) The
grapplers are at work at the Husker
school preparing for a heavy line
of work this winter. Captain Reed
and numerous members of the squad
reported a month before actual
workouts were stated and started
operations. The Huskers have been,
standing high in the raiddlewest as a
set of grapplers worthy of mention.
It is expected this season that Dr.
Clapp, in charge of the mat sport,
will develop a strong aggregation of
artists that will compete with the
best in the country. The standing
of Nebraska in inter-collegiate wrest
ling circles, is undisputable and the
coming season docs not bode a fall
from the lofty seat the Cornhuskers
have gained in the mat sport.
Several members of last season's
team will be absent this year. The
few letter men who remain will be
given early and late work in order
that they may make up for what the
inexperienced may lack in the art of
grappling. Captain Reed and George
Salter are both back this fall.
Coach Schulte Working
Nebraska Tracksters
Track prospects at the University
of Nebraska are rosy. Coach Henry
F. Schulte, in charge of the track
men, has been able heretofore to turn
out squads of from three to four hun
dred men each season. This season
seems at opportune as any for such
a purpose. The men are getting in
terested more each season in track
circles. '
After winning the Missouri Valley
crown on the track last spring, Coach
(Indian) Schulte has no intentions of
losing it in next spring's trials. The
track men are working hard and, ow
ing to the numeral system, Coac't
Schulte has introduced, the Husker
youngsters are becoming more and
more interested in the cinder work.
