O. Thomas, on the inder path has made good. Now, that the stars in the i Northern Indiana high school football teams has been picked, Oreenticld again I looms up in great shape. She is in the I North Indiana eleven, with a big Ixiost.

This all-northern Indiana eleven is said to have been picked from selec tions made by newspaper men, coaches and officials of the high school games in the upper section of the state." As the Inst fullback of all the teams in Northern Indiana, l'aul Strong, of the Creenlield team, is the bright par-t iciilar star. 'Hammond. Cary, Klkhart and Mast Chicago all had mediocre men in this position. For this reason a man from the central part of the state has been picked.
