'Hurlburt, Wash F. . . Badley, Franklin ; BY GEORGE COWNB. Way back in the dark ages. JuBt the time the flying wedge came into prominence in the best football cir cles, some peace-loving individual hit upon the happy idea of selecting an all-star football eleven. The league of nations, return to normalcy, and other questions which provide food ;for heated arguments in this age, were unheard of then. Bo, to Keep the not stove league going, one of the an cients hit upon the idea of a mythical football squad. Since then It hai become the custom for experts and non-experts the country over, to call down the wrath of all except the chosen eleven on their heads by kecp ; ing up the tradition. The idea of picking stars dates even further back than the start of the ' grand old game of football. Back in the stone era the favorite outdoor sport was for the young bloods to gather on the roof of some cliff dweller and attempt to name the stars of the universe. These were no pink tea affairs by any means, and the stone hatchet was often brought into the argument. And just as there were a thousand and one opinions as to which was Venus and which was .'Mars, .so is there a great variety of opinions as to who shall- twinkle on 'the mythical elevens of today. It is a tough task, selecting the all -star material of the interscholastic league this year about as easy, in fact, as selling fur-lined overcoats to ' the Zulus. Few players of the 99 ''or more youths who pastimed in the league this year stand out prominent .make the choice unanimous. The backfield players are the easi est of the lot, for there have been a few who have done splendid work 'this season. The, writer's choice of : the best player in the circuit is Kous 'ton Stockton of Columbia, and he is .placed at left half on the first team. Stockton is. without a doubt, one of i the greatest players turned out in , the league. There is no department " of the game in which he has not shown brilliantly this year. He is. ' first of all. a great ground gainer in carrying the ball, both in open '.field running and line smashing, runs interference well, is an accurate for- - ward passer and a fair punter. On 1 the defense he is a hard and sure tackier. i T"ie other halfback position is given ; to Bill Beck, who captained the Lin coln team through the 1920 season. Beck was more than SO per cent of the Lincoln team, and is the fastest halfback in the league. On the de- fense he is every bit as strong as 1 Stockton. ' Bill Hurlburt of Washington draws the fullback position, although many followers of the game do not approve '.ot Bill's style of hitting the line. Not ; withstanding this fact, however, he ;has gained more yardage on line 'plunges than any other backfield player in the league, and is largely responsible for the showing made by the championship Washington eleven .this year. Bill Poulson, who covers two posi tions on the Frankln team, halfbacK 'on offense, and roving center on de . fense. is selected to hold down the center position on the mythical elev en. Poulson has been a valuable man in the Franklin eleven, and his great playing on the defense alone entitles ' him to a place on the team. The guard positions go to Cooper of Benson and McElhaney of Washing ton. These two players, by their con sistent work throughout the season 'have risen to the top rank of the linesmen. Both have proved them selves strong on the defense, and .'when it comes to opening holes for their own backfield men, they are ' there. The same can be said of Jones of Jefferson, and Van Orden of Co lumbia, the two men selected for the tackle positions. Hitchcock of Washington is, with out a doubt, the best end in the league. .He is always in on every play and is fast in getting down on punts. He is also good at pulling forward passes out of the air. The lack of other good end material forces the writer to take Maloney of Benson from a halfback position and place him at end. Maloney is fast in getting down on punts, and is a sure ' and hard tackier. "Chappie" King of Franklin Is giv en the quarter-back position over Johnny Haak of Washington. King Is also given the captaincy of the team. His playing this season has been consistent. He can run back punts well, carry the ball on end runs, is fast and a good drop-kicker. On some positions there is little choice between the first and second team selections. Among the players who have not been placed on either team and who desire honorable mention for their work this season are: Centers Sa v arian, Columbia; Hallier, Franklin, and Rose. Washington. Guards Gregg, Benson: Mautz, Washington, and Builen, Jefferson. Tackles Mc Coy and Fallis, Benson; Scott, Wash ington; Rosenberg, Lincoln, and Val prado. Commerce. Ends Jones and Kelley, "Franklin; Barber, Benson; Joe Dorghtey, Columbia; Dewey, Hill. Brooks and Irvine. Washington; Hig gins. Jefferson, and Wagner, James John. Quarterbacks Toney Dwyer, Columbia; Robinson Hill; Colt, Ben son, and Anderson, Jefferson. Half backs Cudahy, Columbia; Starbuck, Washington, and Hobson, Franklin. Fullback, Sherrid, Benson. CRESTOX WINS CHAMPIONSHIP City Title Goes to Victors in South- east Section. ' . The Creston grammar school foot ball eleven, champions of the south east section of the league, won the city championship' yesterday by de feating Central, leaders of the north east section by a score of 19 to 0. The game was played on Jefferson high field and was featured by long end runs on the part of the winners. Johnny Sitzer. Carl Miller, Charles Rohlands, and Evan porter were the stars of the Creston team. The championship eleven will be'present ed with a handsome trophy cup. SI DOLAN HONORED FORMER XOIBE BAME PLAYER OX ALL-STAR TEAM. Western Men Selected on Mythical Football Team of Big -Catliolic College. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 20. (Special.) Sam Dolan, professor in civil en gineering at Oregon Agricultural College, has been selected as a mem be r of the All Notre Dame, football team, according to an announcement contained in the Notre Dame Scholas tic. Sam Dolan, together with Ralph Dimmick, were selected for the guard positions. Dimmick has since died as the result of' injuries received in a Pacific university-Alunni game at Forest Grove. Other western men Include L. R. Matthews, end. who was also con sidered a good man at quarter or halfback, and George Philbrook, at tackle, who is now coaching Benson high school, Portland. Matthews is having considerable success as coach for Willamette university. In selecting Dolan for the team the Notre Dame Scholastic has the fol lowing to say: "Dolan Dolan was the greatest line man that ever walked on a football Held anytime anywhere. He used his helmet to carry his chew ing tobacco in. He was susceptible to nothing. In that great Michigan game in 1909 he. broke his collarbone in the first few minutes of play. And then he tore loose. Hole after hole he tore in the Michigan' line, a rod wide and as deep as he wanted to go. They say he became demented. Four of the Michigan players wanted to quit. They appealed first to the ref eree. then to the umpire and finally to Yost. They said they didn t want to play against a crazy man. . crazy was right, .crazy like a horse. The walls at Ann Arbor still resound the echo of his charge." JUNIOR CO-ED TEAM WIXXER Fair Aggies Claim Championship at Volleyball. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 20. (Special.)

End of Rain Bring; Joy Hooters Throng Football Field. 0 REGOS AGRICULTURAL, COL LEGE. Corvallis. Nov. 20. (Spo cial.) The day of the big Oregon- Oregon Agricultural "-go foot ball game, was as nearly perfect for a football as a day could be. After a week or to of continuous rain, the i.fei,ys - a - KWisfe - clouds dried magically this morning, the sky cleared, and the welcome old bud burst forth. The field, however, from its prolonged soaking, was still somewhat soggy despite its coating of sawdust. Still, it was not nearly as wet as might have been expected. The crowd at the game got a good preliminary kick out on the Oregon Oregon Agricultural college cross country race, which preceded the football game. Oregon men finished first and second, Oregon Agricultural college third, fourth and fifth. Preceded by -student chanters, 84 old grads, all college "O" men, marched around the field. The two leaders were Emmett and Fulton, who played on the first Oregon Aggie football team back in 1894. At 2:25 o'clock a big gang of Oregon student rooters behind a vigorous band marched to the sidelines. They had just arrived from Eugene on a . Pecml train. Where they would Bit the seats around the gridiron were filled. But they percolated in some where. The Oregon Agricultural college rooters filled almost the entire east bleacher stand. Their orange caps made brilliant color splotches in the sunlight. They were led by a might ily energetic band, and had fine yell leaders, their yells booming out deep- throated and clear. At 2:30 o'clock bedlam broke loose. aided by whistles and cannon - fire. when the Oregon Agricultural college eleven came on the field. - Then everybody stood while the band played the "Star-Spangled Ban ner." At 2:35 o'clock Oregon came on the field. The Oregon rooters welcomed the players lustily. HOOD RIVER TEAM IMPROVES Squad Believed to Be in Good Shape t3Ieet James John. - HOOD RIVER, Or No. 20. (Spe cial.) while Hood River may have had teams that hsrve won mpre games through the season than has the foot ball team of 1920. the local high school has never bad a squad that has made more consistent improve ment. The light and shifty team is becoming a strong contender for in terscholastic honors of the mid and lower Columbia districts. The local high lost the first three games of the early season, playing successively Vancouver, Wash.; The Dalles and Pendleton. But the last three games played have been won by decisive scores, while the games lost were by small scores. Only once has Hood River taken a goose egg that in the Pendleton game. Camas, wash., was defeated by a score of 17 to 0; Esta cadsj, 52 to 0, and Gresham, 36 to 7. The recent showing o. . the Hood River team indicates that all they lacked was' experience. This handi cap has been overcome by steady coaching, persistent practice and in domitable spirit, and when they face James John high school of Portland here on Thanksgiving afternoon they will no doubt be put to -the test of their brilliant attack.

UNIVERSITY STADIUM IS ALMOST FINISHED Structure to Be Completed for Dartmouth Game. CREDIT .GIVEN MEISNEST Gigantic Structure Declared Due to Efforts Of Students' Grad uate Manager. BY T. E. DONOVAN'. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) To do a bis thing in a big way is an accomplishment; to do it economically and in an unusually short time is rare, but to do it in spite of opposition and difficulties is extraordinary. When all this is done through the efforts of a young man 24 years old. so much the greater is the achievement. The big thing is the University of Washington's new stadium and the successful promoter was Darwin Melsnest, graduate manager of the associated students of the University of Washington. ' In the fall of 1919 Melsnest got the stadium bug. On November 10. 1919, he recommended the building of mammoth stadium to the university's board of control. Opposition started immediately. The students wanted a big union build mg on the campus and had long planned such a project. This argu ment was allayed by the assurance that the stadium, as an asset, would readily bring about the financing of the union building. Bieed of Stadium Shown. On Thanksgiving day, 1919, when Washington played California for the coast championship. 19,000 people saw the game and old Denny field on the campus was not able to accommodate them. This brought the conviction that a large stadium was a genuine need. Finally the regents permitted the associated body to proceed under cer tain conditions. This resulted in the sending of experts on construction to the east to investigate and report on a design with all the latest improve ments in- construction. They recommended a stadium field shaped like a horseshoe with bowed sides, so that one sitting in any seat would have unobstructed view of the entire field and the 220-yard straight away. This was accepted by the committee and architects, as was the provision for a trench-like passage way around the outer part of the track and directly at the base of the. seat sections, which -not only pre vents persons on the field from ob structing the sight, but also places the playing field so that the surface is only a few feet below the level of the first row of seats. View of Field Blockrd. According to Professor Charles May and Carl Gould, who made the east ern trio, at Cornell it was Impossible to see the finish of the 220. while at Syracuse and Michigan the start was not in sight; Yale bowl had no track and at Chicago only the head of the runner was visible. But the biggest problem was yet to be solved. W here was the money coming from?- Mr. Miesnest had an idea sell the -tickets for permanent seats in the,, stadium . and use the money to build it. This- finally resulted In selling bronze and silver plaques to be en graved with the original purchaser's name and thereby made an "honor." These plaques entitled the owner to two years or five years holding of a seat, with admittance to any per formance in the stadium within that time. Two-year plaques were sold for $50 and five-year plaques for $100. Regents Approve Plan. The regents having approved the plans on February 13, 1920, the archi tects were selected and advertising wa,s started with a $100 prize contest for a name for the stadium. Alumni of the university were called to as sist and a state-wide programme of advertising began. There were 546 student salesmen and saleswomen. Headquarters for the plaque sales drive were in the business district of Seattle. The drive provided sufficient funds to complete 60 per cent of the original design, which provided for a seating capacity lot 60,000 people. Ground was broken and operations started on May 17 I rPfeA pn.t n f fViA nmnfiipT nnri ifil- i lecting the money was less than Hi per cent. Some 30U.oop represented the stadium investment when its first unit was completed November 10, 1920, as scheduled. 178 days after ground was broken . and one year after it was first definitely advocat ed. It is now ready to be used for the Dartmouth-Washington game next Saturday. Game to TBe Dedication. This game was arranged after the stadium was certain. It was desired to open it with an attraction of wjde interest. Dartmouth college, of Hanover, N. H., had an unusually good record last season and nego tiations succeeded on the basis of a $10,600 guarantee. Many universities, noting the suc cess of the ' Washington stadium drive have written for pointers. Ohio state college was one of tie first to ask for plans of the University of Washington's big field. Other in quiries followed from Los Angeles, Cal., the University of Oregon. Uni versity of California, Stanford uni- versity, Oberlin college of Ohio and the University of Montreal. A distinctive feature of Washing ton's stadium is -the sluicing method of construction which made It pos sible to build the concrete, seats on a dirt fill within 24 hours after the water drained away. This was done by using the Lewis-Morse-Sheer-boards sluicing method. Formerly such means were confined to mining operations, regrading and minor .con struction work. This plan first was " tried on a large scale, incidentally, in building Westover terraces in Port land. Giant Aoszle Used. The dirt at Washington stadium was gouged out by hydraulic giant noxzles. delivering water at 92 pounds pressure per square inch, which was supplied by a pump on Lake Wash ington canal. 160 yards away. The fill action was simultaneous. The streams of muddy water were guided by temporary wooden channels and embankments to the intake of a booster pump, where they were forced up and directed over the area to be filled, finally flowing around the complete loop of the horseshoe after the north bank was in. The sediment deposited by settling formed solid rill, and all excess drained into the lake. Uround Lowered J 8 Km.
