It was the late Walter Camp who originated the "All picking custom and I concede he never suspected that his brain-child eventually would assume the of a national nuisance. My private antagonism to the idea, I frankly confess, was inspired by two characters well known to the Nebraska football public Walter C. Booth. Nebraska I head eoaeh during the early 00 and Coach A.

forms during the 1936 campaign. The Journal and Star today presents the Nebraska High School Football Boll of Honor. Selection of the roster is the final chapter of a football season which was packed with interest all the way and wound up with 20 teams undefeated in state competition. Seventy athletes representing teems are included on the list of players rated by critics as worthy of special recognition for their performance throughout the season. This number represents an increase of rune over the Roll but is somewhat smaller than the roster of other seasons.

Roll Is Authentic. Positions on the Roll of Honor are awarded after careful consideration of reports forwarded by close observers of Nebraska high school football. Six hundred coaches, officials, sports writers and followers of the prepsters were asked to make their nominations of outstanding lads they had seen action this year. The writer is grateful for the liberal response which makes the 1936 selections a reliable estimate of what outstanding performers have thrilled prep fans this season. Study of the nominations and comments of these assistants required hours of careful work.

Names and qualifications of 682 athletes were submitted. This is nine under the 1935 figure but well ahead of the contributions. how they have been divided in recent years: PRELIMINARY OILS CITY QUINTS FINISHES AT TILTS THIS WEEK Latest Opponent Is Minister.

Sams is a 140- pounder who is great in an open field. Dimmitt, a hard runner, was the driving rod in the Alliance ground-gaining machine.
