IS FBDIEO UPON FIVE IIHEFIS OH IHILLE TEffl Rutherford and Chamberlain Were the Only Players Unanimously Chosen. Are 'Big Nine' Representatives Favor Of Abolishing the Sport. Battle To a Draw for National Title fine proof of the care and study the conches, manager and officials devote tu their selections, In these teams, as In "all" mythical elevens, there Is bound to be soma Injustice, some excellent player slighted, perhaps several, A iluan players were named In the various selections who did not make any of the teams owing to the fact that others were mentioned more often. Several Paotore Considered. In naming their teams the men making the selections gave attention to ability, temperament, und apoi'tamunMhlp both toward opponents and officials.

It Is something for a player to make theio "All" teams, especially the ones selected In the manner of the above squads. It la another incentive for a player to show his mettle throughout the season. The "honor roll" shows players of unusual class who performed on teams that competed In the valley but outside of the conference. The Oklahoma quartet deserve special praise, 'being players of rare ability and a high standard of sportsmanship. As a last word, If these selections do not meet with your approval, pick a team of your own.

Perhaps you may not be as wall qualified to pick "All" teams as the men who have taken part In the above selections, but there's no one to stop you and no one to assert-that your team wouldn't be as good as any other. the sports editor of The Btar as tht fairest means of giving credit to deserving high school players who havp shown themselves worthy of special praise for their deeds on the g-rldlroiu during the recent campaign In etut Inler-scholastla circle. Star has had no part In thei selection of the players enumerated lu the "honor roll" other than count the votes and declare the result. Letters were addressed to tea of the prominent high school coaches' In the Cornhuskor commonwealth anil all but one of the ten responded. Each of the ten waa asked to nominate a.

first and a second all-state team. The replies showed such a unanimity tit sentiment as to the superiority of 4t few players that most of the aeloflL tlons for the "honor roll" were automatic, Yet a count of the votes' disclosed that ft ould be unfair to certain deserving players If tlrat and aocond all-state teams were announced -by The Star. Take tho tackle positions, for Instance. High' school football 'In Nebraska never before has prenentted so many h'lgh, class i tackle as In 1916. Andrew' of Lincoln, Huk-ka of Beatrice, Conway of York.

Bogus of North Platte and Kllpntrlelc of Beatrice all were tackles of ceptlonal ability. If first and second all-state teams were nominated, only two of these five tackles could be chosen, which would mean the ellml nation of three strong players at the tackle positions. A similar condition applies to the canter position. Erlck-son of Beatrice and Meyers of York, are the class of the high school centers and it would be on Injustice to 'one of the two to pick one for a first all-state team and relegate the other to the second eleven. So tho sports editor of The Star has cast tho first and second team custom into the dump pile and, instead, presents an "honor roll" In the belief that the latter system presents the best meth-! od of doing Justice to all concerned.

Five times the easterners were driven to the very shadow of their goal posts by the powerful Central attack, but each time they halted the western champions Inside the ten-yard line. With a variety of line plunges, runs and forward passes, the Detroit eleven marched down the field time after time, only to he held for downs when a score seemed inevitable.

Those who 'take Issue with the statement that Barrett is the greatest quarter hack of all time heed but to look at his scoring record for the season 161 points In nine games scored against such big elevens as Michigan, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Washington and Lee. Eddie Mahan; the great Harvard captain, goes the full, backing job.

Mahan is the best all-round halfback seen in the east In many years. He cen hit a line, with terrifig power, he Is as speedy as Mercury of the Gercian days, lie Is splendid punter and a drop kick-er par excellence. Mahan rounded into form wstfcer slowly, this yeari but played a wonderful game ngalnst Princeton and in the Tale game he reached the senfth -of his-wonderful career. lit may occasion surprise" to find that we, have, selected DePrato, of the.

Against Teat's university of Michigan team DePrato played like a man possessed. He ripped to shreds heavy Maize and Blue, line, he skirted the ends almost at will, he outpunted the Michigan booter -at-least ten- yards In each exchange and when the final whistle blew the score wss: DePrato 24, Michigan 0.

This "Wildfire Halfback of the West" scored -all the, points against making' three touchdowns, three goals after touchdowns and one goal from field. Mayer didn't get nation-wide publicity this season mere bocause he played on one of the so-called "minor' elevens.

Chicago Writer Puts Nebraska Player On His First All-American Team. The smallest banquet tendered: a Red and E'ack football team for several years was given tho all-victorious and champion 191,5 Lincoln high foot-ball team In the Garden room at the Lincoln hotel Saturday evening.

The crowd numbered fifty and did not In clude the second high school team. After sorting over the replies of the coaches and casting up the returns, it was necessary to fix an arbitrary rule In compiling the "honor roll," Every player selected received no less than three votes either for the first or sec- ond all-state teams. Several player' received two votes, on which basis they were lacking one vote of getting on the "roll of honor." The fact that five Lincoln players are honored means simply that they received the required i number of votes; certainly it cannot i well be questioned that the Lincoln team, which enjoyed an all-vtctorlous season, clearly is entitled to large rep- rescntatlon of the "roll." North Platte, which had the strongest team In the western half of the state and also was undefeated, has three players on the "honor" list; Beatrice, another power- ful high school team, has three Jand York, which lost only to Lincoln and Beatrice, has two. The coaches, therefore, have done a fairly good Job of. doling the honors where they Justly belong and The star's "honor roll" I an innovation In Nebraska high school circles should appeal to followers of the gridiron game in Inter-schotastiu company as the most equitable system possible of giving credit where credit Justly belongs, i No pretense Is made that the "hoior roll" Includes all players of exceptional ability in the state.

Many of the smaller high school teams doubtless have players of more than ordinary merit on their lineups, but the omission of their names is entirely due to the fact that their teams were not scheduled to play the stronger elevens tend hence, little or no chance was presented to inspect their skill In stiff competition, SEVENTEEN TEAMS IN SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE championship, six In thirty-two minutes fifty-three seconds, 'rno insn American A.

The vote on baseball was taken only after acrimonious debate, during which the game was termed "too commercial to be worthy of being a major college sport," und, a game that was the cause of per cent of all the cases of ineligibility among college athletes. Debate on the question started with the Introduction of a resolution that looked Innocuous on Its face, but which contained bile In It, The resolution In effect read; "Be it resolved, that eligibility of a student shall depend upon his standing In scholarship and a one-your residence at the coIIk he represents." There was nothing said for ti moment and then two delegates Jumped to their feet to suyi "That means -man could play summer 'baseball, It would make him eligible to represent his school regardless of his amateur standing."

M'BRIOE. (Sports Editor the Kansas City Star.) You've Just had a look at the All-Valley conference teams you've-been waiting to see. The foregoing mythical "All" teams proably come closer than any others to bearing the official stamp, owing to -their manner of selection, The written opinions of a big majority of the Mlasourl valley conference (touches, ath-letlo managers nnd -officials, were considered In the picking of the players for the Star's All-Valley, squads. These teams huve been selected In that manner for the lust eight years nnd have como to he looked upon as the most representative, The first eleven shows five Nebraska men, Chamberlnln and Rutherford being unanimous choices Sprang of Drake; Lewis, of Washington and Moss of Ames were near unanimous oholces as also was Corey, the Nebraska tackle. The Kansas Aggies are the only team not represented on the first string team.

The Kansas Aggies and Washington are the two elevens that failed to draw a place on the second eleven, while Missouri did not win a position on the third squad. In the selection of these mythical elevens no attention was, paid to -the team winning the championship or the runner up. The 1 to say, the fact that the Nebraska eleven captured the valley title was not permitted to obscure, the careful Study and appraisement of players on the other elevens. Says Justice Has Been Done. A stud of the three elevens as printed above wlil show, however, that Justice has een done In picking the three tennis, In that the championship team, Nebruaka, lands nine places on the three teams.

Ames comes next with eight and this fits in wJlh a statement from one the valley coaches who did much scouting this season. He said! "Ames has six or Beven men who would fit Into any team In the valley or almost any team In the west The material Is there," Kansas was awarded seven places on i he three elevens, Missouri and Drake three each, Washington, two and the Kansas Aggies one. Nebraska's total of five men on the first team naturally cut its representation on the other elevens. On the other hand, Ames, Kansas, MIs-ourl and Drake, lacking strong candl-ietes for the first eleven naturally vbtpped up with second and third material. The very fact that the three learns show such an arrangement is a Cornhuskers 1916 Capt.

There were but a very few Invited guests and the cause for "going easy" was explained by Manager Marshall, holder of the athletic money bug. Ho announced the loss of the Beatrice game cut a big gash In the exchequer, in fact cauHlng a1 deficit 'in the treasury, In addition to the toast list brief remarks were made by ltov True, Dr, Wilmeth, Harold Webb, cheer leader, Mr, Marshall and Principal Mays. Principal Mays made reference to tho fact that the first high school football banquet was given in the same rbom envon years ago, Couch Greeniitreet rruve a review of the season attributing the success of the campaign to "the buckflcld that lino and those ends." At the commencement of the season he said the team adopted three aims to score 800 points, not to be scored upon and to win every game. With tho exception of a drop kick the eleven was not scored upon, every game was won and a total of 299 points registered notwithstanding the fact that one game was not played. Following was the toast list: Miss Charlotte Alexander, toastmls-trcss.

"The Has-Beens," Furley Young, 191,1 captain, "The Reserves," Dewey Curtis. "Our Coach," Harold Schmidt. "Our Captain," Justin Sturm. "The Captain-Elect," William Busche. "The Prospects," Harry Brian, 191 captain.
