MONDAY EVENING-- IOWA CTTY DAILY HAWKEYES SELECTED ILL-CONFERENCE (Eckcrsall and Pat Page Pick Mythical Honorary Elevens. Pat Page and Walter Eckersall, without a doubt two of the foremost football critics in the middle west, combined forces Sunday in honoring Iowa football players on their all-western conference selections. Eckersall, who may suspected of "going the limit" for the Hawkeyes since'the on-side kick episode in the Iowa-Illinois game WALTER AliL-CON- FERENCE TEAMS First Team Myers. Wisconsin Left End Higgins. Chicago Left Tackle McCaw, Indiana Left Guard Depler, Illinois Center Applegran, Illinois Guard Slater, Iowa Right Tackle Beldmg, Iowa Right End Stinchcomb, Ohio State Quarter Back Harley, Ohio (C) Right Half Back Oss, Minnesota Left Half Back Lohman, Iowa Full Back Second Team Weston, "Wisconsin Eeft End Ingwerson, Illinois Left Tackle CAOOOCK TO RESUME ACTIVITIES ON MAT GOSSIP Trott, Ohio State Carpenter, Wisconsin Hunzelman, Iowa Goetz, Michigan Left Guard Right Guard Right Tackle picks his three Old mythical Gold team.

Carney, Illinois Right Robert Fetcher, Illinois Quarfer End Back in generously stars for Slater at tackle, Belding at end, and Ldhman at fullback. This number is certainly In accordance vith the deserts of the local team but there might be a slight difference of opinion with Eckersall in regard to the three men selected if Iowa fans were given a vote. However Walter has the Hawk- eyes more berths than any other coherence eleven and he no doubt be entrenched once more in the good graces of local fans (who not at Urbana Oct. 18, 1,919) Pat Page In the Limelight. Probably an all-conference selection thai carries more authority and appeals more generally to the reason of local fans than does Eckersall's choice, is the selection of -Pat Page, chief assistant to Coach Stagg of Chicago.

He picks Iowa men. Slater and Aubrey Wahlquist, Illinois Right Half Back Williams, Indiana.Left Half Back Willaman, Ohio State Full Back Derlne for his mythical team. Page kuows up-to-date fqptball just as if not better than Eckersall He Is a coach and is primarily coacerned with' watching the strength and weakness of the players and not in watching for news stories, that might develop in course of a game. Then, too, while Eckersall was spending a large percentage of his time refereeing games in which the Northwestern eleven was one of the principals, Page was actively engaged in scouting nearly every team in the con- feranee. The Maroon coach saw the lowa-Iinnois game, he saw Ohio State, Purdue, Northwestern Michigan and Wisconsin elevens in action and has Interviewed coaches and officials upon all of 'his trips.

Considering his ability as a toarh, his experience as a scout, and his impartiality, he must be considered an authority. Belding and Lohman. Pat Page did not pick Belding for an end. In this respect' he differs from Eckersall and the Citizen's modest selection of a week ago. However, it is certain that Beldmg had two very strong rivals in Weston and Myeis of Wisconsin and that a diffeience of opinion most likely to occur in choos ihg two ends from the three foremost candidates.

On a voting basis, each of the three candidates would have had two votes each, Eckersall's judgment in selecting Lohman in preference to Aubrey Devine for a backfteld position is questionable. The Iowa leader was a cracking good fullback tnd certainly deserved consideration, but even the closest followers of the Iowa team never entertained for a moment the idea that Lob man was the strongest man in the conference for bis position. On the other hand, Aubrey Devine has been one of the most conspicuous players in conference circles next to Chic Harley, and has been touted as the Ohio player's equal in every Pat Page gave Devine berth but Eckersall ignored him en- thely, even failing to "see" him on a second team. This one point seems to be a rank error judgment on the part of Eckerball. It is true that Devine 'is pla.vmg his first jear of conference football, bat in picking an all-conference team, ability to play the position in question should be the chief CobsMcration and not sentiment.
