In selecting his Al-Conference

sport critic of the Minneapolis
Tribune, places six Wolverines on his
first team, two on his second, and
gives three others honorable mention.-
It is interesting to note that every
Michigan man who started in the

tioned by Barton. Molenda and oet
are on his second team, while Gilbert,

Blue men who were given honorable
mention. The other selections fol-
low:

Krauski (Iowa) and Hanson (Minne-

MICHIGAN RATED
FIRST BY PERRY
Calls Wolverines The Strongest All-
Arounid Football Outfit In
The U. S.
DARTMOUTH SECOND
Lawrence Perry, sport critic of the
New York Evening Woo'd ranks the
ten major football teams in the coun-
try in the following order: Michigan,
Dartmouth, Washington, Tulane, Ala-
bama, Colgate, Princeton, Lafayette,
Pittsburgh, and West Virginia.
In explaining his ranking, the sport.
authority says, "Michigan is rated
first because in the writer's opinion
the Wolverines were, the strongest all
around football outfit in the United
States. No team was so consistent
in all branches of attack. No eleven
protected its forward passer so thor-
oughly. All this was accomplished
through the splendid play of the for- f
wards."
He conitnues, "The Maize and Bluel
rushing attack balanced an extremely
formidable overhead offense. In punt-
ing, tackling, and following the ball,
the team was about as perfect as a
team gets to be. And so strong was
the defense that throughout a whole
season against strong opponents, the
Michigan goal line remained uncross-
ed."
In explaining why he put Dart-
mouth in second place, Mr. Perry
says, "Dartmouth's list of victories
comprises the following teams: Nor-
wich, Hobart, Vermont, Harvard,
Brown, Cornell, and Chicago. Of
these, none ranked in the first class
this season, to say the best that canl
be said of them. Dartmouth was
stronger offensively than defensively.
Michigan's balance between the posi-
tive and negative of football was per-
fect. The Maize and Blue was one of
the finest elevens the writer has ever
seen."
Sport critics in the West were
agreeably surprised at the rating giv-
en by Perry because heretofore he
has been a staunch supporter of east-
ern football.

tramural department urges all ment
interested to sign up at once.
All men who won their freshman
two points scored by tne Orange were
the result of two perfect throws from
the foul line by Rasnick.
