Eight of the ten coaches complied with my request. The coaches were a unit in their selection of five players for the AllWestern Conference eleven. Half Backs Grange of Illinois and Martineau of Minnesota each polled eight votes. Below of Wisconsin and McMillen of Illinois were the unanimous choice for a tackle and a guard, -while Blott of Michigan received a solid vote for the center job. Eklund Popular End For the ends, Eklund of Minnesota and Hancock of lowa received the call. Only one coach failed to name Ekluad. The coaches were very much divided in selecting running mates for Tackle Below of Wisconsin and Guard McMillen of Illinois. Unanimous in the choice of those two players the eight famous mentors differed widely in their selection for the other side of the line. Muirhead of Michigan, with four votes, won the tackle position, while Bieberstein of Wisconsin, with three votes, gets the other guard. There was a desire on the part of many of the coaches to place Kipke in the back field. However, Mart.neau and Grange were considered better half backs than Kipke. Four coaches placed Kipke at quarter and one at full back. Taft Gets the Call There was also a wide difference of opinion as to full back, Taft with four votes winning the honor. One of the coaches placed Taft at an end and used Workman at full back. The selection made by the Big Ten coaches show what a difficult matter it is to pick an eleven that will meet with universal approval. No two of the eight coaches selected exactly the same team. One coach explained this feature l>y saying -that often a certain player plays brilliantly against one team and the following Saturday may slump in his work. Thus the two coaches see him under entirely different conditions. ALUMNI NO MATCH FOR FAST PLAY OF DE PAUW Varsity Runs l'p Big Count Against Former Methodist Stars.

1\ /f1 men in sedentary IVII life after they have passed J the age of 30, begin to .take on weight. Some, even before they have reached 30. And with the gradual accumulation of fat, pep and vigor begin to take their departure. In this and the following articles, I will give a few exercises that, faithfully followed just before retiring, soon will remove all excess weight, and put new life into any one. No special clothing is required, although a swimming or gym suit is preferable. Here’s the first exercise: Stand with the heels together and with the arms out to the side, palms down. Then, at the count of one, bring the arms up, turning them so the thumbs touch over the head. Stretch the arms as much as possible. At the count of < two, bring the arms back to the first position.
