FOOTBALL IN THE NORTHWEST

and take the place of petty jealousy and rivalry, and let the public be assured that there will be no more of this soph- omeric reviling and infantile wailing after g^reen cheese.

The leading college teams for this season were those from the following colleges: University of Washington, University of Oregon, Oregon Agricul- tural College, Albany College, Whit- man College, Washington Agricultural College, and University of Idaho. The record of each team is as follows:

Portland High School 52-0 " H. M. A. 7-0 " B. S. A. ii-o It seems to be expected of the writer of an article of this kind that he try his skill in making up an "all-star" team. This, then, is the lineup of the all-col- lege team which I should choose to rep- resent the Northwest on the gridiron: Center, Sherer, U. of W. Guards, Newton, U. of W., and Ker- ron, U. of O.

Tackles, Cox, Whitman, and Segrist, U. of W.

Ends, Jordan or Chandler, U. of O., and Hill, U. of W.

Quarter, Spidell (Capt.), U. of W. Halves, Templeton, U. of O., and Morrison, Albany.

Full, Brown, Whitman, or McElmon, U. of W.

Substitutes, Wells, U. of W., half; Watts, U. of O., tackle.

If the Multnomah players were elig- ible to this "all-star" team, many of them would be entitled to places in- stead of the college players. McMillan would play one of the halves, and Bishop might displace Templeton in the other. Stott would run Spidell a close race for quarter, and Cook, al- though not so good a Hne-bucker as Brown or McElmon, would replace either, because he is undoubtedly the best punter in the Northwest. Martin Pratt would surely play one of the tackles, but for the other positions in the line the colleges have better players than the club has.

And here, for the benefit of the younger players, is an attempt to pick an all-scholastic team of Portland to play against a similarly chosen team
