The Arizona Wildcats, whose bid for the conference championship was thwarted by an upset by the Lobos, and Tempe, who eked out a one-touchdown win over New Mexico, each placed four men on the first eleven. Texas Mines contributed two players and the New Mexico Aggies, one.

Flagstaff, like the Lobos, failed to get representation on the first team. The official selections were made by vote of the coaches In the six member colleges and re leased from the office of Dr. Emil Larson at Tucson, conference commissioner.

Dean filed a rharse of theft fcr conversion against Dlceman In a dispute over flO rereived from the sale of three bales of cotton grown on Dean's property. The rase had reached the alage of a preliminary trial when Dlx and Dlceman came to an agreement, ith the latter paying. Dean a share of the rt ton money. ain Of 1940 Eleven Official Selection! Overlook Many Stan Nationally Mentioned By PAI WEEK Journal Sports Editor Undermined by some up start talent which showed no respect at all for others' reputations, four players who isted on The Albuquerque Journal's 1939 All-Border Con ference eleven were relegated to the second team in the fourth an nual selection completed Wednesday night. Only Henry Stanton, Arizona end, and Charley Williams, Tex as Mines tackle, are repeaters on the first eleven.

A quartet of teams held a monopoly on the first team. Arizona, Texas Mines and New Mex ico each landed three positions, and Texas Mines took two. The lower division teams received representation on the second team, apportioned in the fol lowing way: Arizona, Tempe, New Mexico, Flagstaff, 2 New Mexico Aggies, 1, and Texas Mines, 1. The Journal was aided by a New Mexico University scout, Marion (Dutch) Niemants, In making the final selections, be cause or his opportunity to see more conference games than we were. In l'ne for demotion were Wayne (The Ripper) Pitts, Tempo fullback, replaced by Texas Mines' punting Owen Price; John Black, Arizona halfback, whose position was switched with that of New Mexico'i Avery Monfort Roy Conn, bone-crushing Arizona tackle, who couldn't match the Lobo'i Little All-American, Aus tin O'Jibway, and Al Sanserino, Tempe guard, outmeasured by Wilbur Gentry, New Mexico.

Gentry Geta Top Ranking The highest honor in he se lections, the position of captain created this year, was awarded to Gentry, whose all-around abil ity on the gridiron outdistanced that of any Individual player whom the Lobos faced this season and that Includes every team in the Border Conference, Wyom ing. Colorado Aggies and Texas Tech. Besides playing his position superbly. Gentry kept up that elusive thing" called morale that held the Hilltop squad together throughout the season. He was given the difficult assignment of captain against the Loho's greatest foe, Texas Tech, and his per formanre In that one game alone was enough to rank him as one of the best players that has ever performed for New Mexico.

Official All-Border Conference ejections passed over several such glaringly evident stars as Price, the nation's leading punter, O'Jib-wav, a Little All-American and Gentry, Purely bv coincidence, The Jour nsl's nominations are apportioned striking'v similar to the flna conference standings, with Tempe and Arizona loading, Texas Mines and New Mexico following. The cellar-dwelling Flagstaff Lumber iarks and the New Mexico Aggies failed to aualifr a man for the first team. DRAKE RELAYS RET DF.S MOINES, Dec. 4 W) The 32nd annual Drake relays will be held here April 25 and Director M. E.

The fundamental basis for ratings was the individual players' performances against New Mexico University, which played every one of the other five teams in the circuit, and scouting reports of Dutch Niemants. Briefly, here are a few reasons for the choices: MorrUsry College Flagstaff Teachers Texas Mines University New Mexico University Tempe Teachers Arizona University Flagstaff Teachers New Mexico University Arizona University Tempe Teachers Mexico; Emil Banjavcic, Arizona; Russell Cotton, Texas Mines; Noble Hargrove, N.

M. Aggies: Gil Salcedo, Texas Mines; Rollo Beck, Flagstaff; James McShane, Arizona; Joe Hernandez, Tempe; Charlea Smith, New Mexico. on Oct. S3, witn Hot springs taking 34-6 victory off the field. Ineligibility Claim Coleman claimed that Bill Butler, a Hot Springs player, was in eligible, according to the state association rulebook.

Hatch ended Its most suceessful season, with six wins (including the claimed Hot Springs victory), and three losses. One loss was to Cathedral High of El Taso, over the state border. Demands Second Place Coleman claimed second place in District 4 for the Bears, second only to the champion Las Cruces team. The mentor's trirk triple-spin-ner play, widely publicized, was given credit for drawing the larg est crowds in history to Hatch's home games. It was the first season the school ver made money on football, Coleman said Willy Clayton, Hatch back, is believed to have been the state's high scorer, tallying 19 of Hatch's 1S9 points.

Backs George Gustovlch, New Iklcfi Gabs Forfeit Victory Coleman Says Tigers Played Ineligible Man HOT SPRINGS, Dee. 4 (Spe rial) Charging that Hot Springs High School played an ineligible man against his team, Coach Chink Coleman of the Hatch Bears Wednesday claimed a 1-0 forfeit victory over the Tigers. "Yon ran quote this score as official." Coleman said, although he made no comment on whether a protest was lodged with the New Mexico High School Athletic or whether an agreement was reached with Hot Springs school authorities. The game was played In Hatch Texas Mines back, who was the nation'i leading punter.

Price was the spark of Mines' win over the Lobos. John Luksirh of New Mexico and Al Sanserino of Tempe are outstanding men on the second team. Honorable mentions were liberally distributed, because the Border Conference had many bcttcr-than-avrrage plavers this, year. The caliber of the whole' leagne was improved.

He seldom gives the opposing safety art opportunity to return a punt. Quarterbacks aim their plays away from his side of the line.

Jep Shamblee of Tempe is a consistent end, but none of the other wlngmcn measure up to Stanton. TACKLES Like Stanton, New Mexico's Austin O'Jibway stands out far ahead of the rest. Big and heavy, the Indian boxer-football player nevertheless is always down on punts. He is a lightning charger, and the power in his arms and legs has carried him into many a backfield. Charley Williams of Texas Mines had a battle for his position from Ralph Steeds, of the Aggies, and Roy Conn of Arizona, both of whom failed to equal i 1 1 1 a a performance against the Lobos.

GIARDS Wilbur Gentry of New Mexico has more drive than perhaps any player in the league. He never gives uo, tenaciously staying in games despite the fact that most teams "lay for him." Because he hkei to play football, he has studied It and knows all its phaes. Gentry, like the Aggies' Lcdie Miller, who is now pro football, has not received the recognition In college which he deserves. Arizona's Bill Flake played rock 'em, sock 'em foot ball all season, turned In an ex rrptional performance against New Mexico. He played an ag grcsaive, heads-up game, both defensively and offensively and vas brutal tackier.

CENTER This is not an unusually strong position this year, but Ray Green of Tempe handles it capably. Arizona's Ed Beddow did not see action against the Lobos. Though Niemants believed Beddow ought to get the nod, he was over ruled, because the selections a- tared on games with the New Mexico team. QUARTERBACK Another position not to strong Allen Lohse of Arizona is i blocking back. Cliff Miller of Flagstaff specializes in passing.

It was difficult to compare them ll.U.I BACKS Because of Lobo Avery Mon fort's winning duel with Johnny Black of Arizona, Monfort neces sarily rereived the nomination. Hascall Henshaw of Tempp was too consistently good to be routed out by Jark Morrissey, who started too late to make the first tfam. No. 1 prediction is for Morrissey to be on the 1941 first eleven, however.
