Jack James sporting writer for a San Francisco paper and a close follower of coast college football unanimously selects Strader He lias witnessed both men in action and he should be in a position to know To quote him "Strader has gained more yards from scrimrnanp this season than any other fullback on the coast He hugs that football to him gets his head down taking care to keep his eyes open and hits that line like a catapauit If the hole is there so much the bet-tery If it is not he makes one and knocks over the secondary defense for a yard or two This is Jack selection of an all-coast mythical team: Lawson (S) End Anderson (USC) Tackle Getting down to the question hand Norman "Red" Strader foremost ground gainer on the Pacific coast for 1924 by figures was omitted How Strader could be omitted on the face of his brilliant work all season is a mystery to mahy The fact that Strader is a home product does not enter into the matter Only actual merits are considered in this instance

Brains plus speed plus knowledge plus hounding the were the factors in unexpected and spectacular victory over Stockton for the central California high school title last Saturday Entering the game of the lowest nature the game Flames played rings around the heavier and lumbering Stocktonites Lodi knew more football than did the Tarzans and they proceeded to use this most effectively against their opponents In the first half the Incessant hounding of the ball drilled into tb4 heads of the Lodi men since the first practice weeks ago accounted for two touchdowns Stockton fumbled twice and like a flash the ball was scooped up on both occasions by the fleet Flames In a desperate attempt to score the Tarzans resorted to an aerial game but Coach men knew exactly what to do under the circumstances and foiled the attack completely Lodi opened up a spectacular forward pass attack in the last half herself completing a series of passes that netted many yards paving the way for two more touchdowns
