; 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

The Creston grammar school foot
ball eleven, champions of the south
east section of the league, won the

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.

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."

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.

the stadium investment when its first
unit was completed November 10,
1920, as scheduled. 178 days after
ground was broken . and one year

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.
The surrace of the ground was
lowered 18 feet and a total of 127,000
cubic yards of dirt removed to ac
complish the required embankment.
i ne seats were placed directly upon
these earth, fills. There are 33 seat
sections and the concrete was poured
at the rate of one section a day.
Another feature was the complete
drainage system, which cost $43,000
to install. On the field proper art
four-inch tile drains every 20 feet,
which radiate at a decline from the
near surface to the base of the pas
sage way around the edge. The pas
sageway in turn connects with sew
ers which empty into Lake Washing
ton. In building up the field and as
a part of its drainage, 600 cubio
yards of gravel has been spread out.
covering the filters. Shavings were
placed on top of this and then 3000
cubic yards of sandy loam top soil
were leveled out, making a layer
eight inches thick.
Field Ready for Game.
The top ground is being rolled and
will be left to stand so that the
field will be in perfect condition for
the opening game. In resodding the
field later, cinders, manure and salt
and loam top soil will be applied on
the present surface in the "order
named.
The seats user; are similar in con
struction to those of the Yale bowl.
Each tier of concrete slopes so that
any water will be carried off to the
aisle and will not cascade down the
seat sections. A players' entrance
tunnel under the seats of the south
bank is also of concrete.
Washington stadium is on the
former naval reserve grounds on the
lower campus, near the Lake Wash
ington government canal. It is ad
jacent to paved boulevards, water
transportation and the Canadian,
branch of the Northern racific rail
road, which goes through the univer
sity grounds. The open end of the
stadium is toward the east, permit
