The matter of choosing an all
star team this season from the
colleges ot Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, has been a difficult
matter. This is what the Ore
gonian says regarding the selec
tion: 'Owing to the increased num
ber of well-coached devens in
the Pacific Northwest, the task of
selecting an all-star college team
from ihe college elevens is by no
means an easy one. The selec
tions have been made, after con
sultation with many well-known
football authorities, and the men
have been chosen from the ranks
of regular college elevens.
Those against whom charges of
professionalism, uufair conduct
both on and off the field, and
lack of bona-fide student stand
ing, have not been considered.
The record ot the whole season's
play has been the main factor in
the selection, and the , fact that a
man ' played on a winning or
losing team has not been, taken
into consideration." ,
The ; following is the line-up
of the all-star team:
Left end, Meldrum, TJ. O.
Right end, Chandler, U. O.
Left tackle, Rogers, Idaho.-
Right tackle, Sigrist, U. W.
Left guard, Thomas, Idaho.
Right guard,. Scherer, UW.
Center, Walker, O. A. C.
Quarterback, Speidel, U. W.
Left halt, Goodrich, U. O.
Right half, McElmon, U .W.
Fullback and captain,. Pilking
ton, O. A. C. .
' The Oregonian says that for
the position of center rush, big
Walker, of O A C, is by far the
best man. His weight and speed
would win for him a position on
any team. Lantz, TJ. W., and
Pilkingtoq, O A' C, are the lead
ing candidates for fullback,, but
the latter is undoubtedly the bet
ter man for the position. - With
Pilkington m the lineup, the All
Northwest eleven would not only
have a fierce line-plunging full
back but also a high-class punter
and a sagacious field captain.
