SELECTION IS DIFFICULT By Edward L. Warner. Seven Western Conference teams are represented pn the mythical all'star eleven as chosen by the Michigan Daily for 1929, Purdue garnering the most places with three of the Boilermakers listed. Iowa and Northwestern each gainedt two places on the aggregation, while Michigan's nominee for Big Ten honors is Howard Poe, veteran guard. The task of selecting an all-Con- ference team is always fraught with difficulties, due to local pre- judice for the home team and the complications involved in choos- ing the best eleven men out of more than 150 players in the Big' Ten. In picking this mythical team, the writer was handicapped in having seen only six of the Con- ference teams in action. However, the accounts of reliable sport crit- ics on the other four teams and their stars were considered, while the Michigan scouts and members of the sport staff were consulted in, order to obtain an unbiased con- sensus of opinion. Among the ends, Wesley Fesler was far and away the best flank- man in the Big Ten. The sensa- tional Ohio State star, who was chosen all-American last year, again demonstrated his worth on a mediocre team, crowning his achievements with a 99-yard run for a touchdown against North- western. The other ends were just about average, with Baker having a slight edge over Tanner. Bill Hewitt made a very favorable showing in his first year of com- petition, and bids fair to develop into one of the Big Ten's outstand- ing wingmen. Capt. Joe Truskowski. was handicapped, due to being, shifted from end to a backfield; berth and then to end again. Had. he played all season at the flank, he undoubtedly would have earned a higher place in the selections. Red Sleight of Purdue was the best tackle in the Conference, be- ing the outstanding lineman in a strong forward wall. He was in there on every play, often knifing through to down the opposing, (Continued on Page 7) l PICKS CAGERS PREPARE TO MEETBISHOPS With the probability that only one member of last year's Confer- ence championship basketball team will start in the opening game! against Ohio Wesleyan next Mon- day night, Coach George VeenkerI is drilling the squad hard to per- fect a defense that will even re- motely approach that of last sea- son's team. Captain Bob Chapman, the six- foot three-inch center, will most likely be the only regular of last; year's team in the starting lineup,I although Kanitz and Lovell, both substitutes on last season's outfit, will be available for duty. Joe; Truskowski, who reported for aJ light workout yesterday for the frst time following the recent grid campaign, will not be ready by next Wveek, nor will Bill Orwig, the other forward on the championship team. I Ohio Wesleyan will be far from a set-up for Michigan. The Bishops seem to have a liking for meeting and defeating Big Ten teams on the opening dates of the season. Last year Coach Dietrick's team, winners of the Ohio Conference .championship, swamped Ohio State 33-20, in last season's lid-lifter.; Wesleyan expects another good team this winter, and Coach Veen-I ker is looking forward to a real bat- tle at the hands of the team from the B.ckeye state. Once before has Michigan metk these same Battling Bishops. On that occasion the Wolverines were hard-pressed to emerge on the long end of a 32-27 count, the close decision going to the Maize and Blue only after a final spurt in the last two minutes. COACH FARQUHAR RETURNS AS BADGER PUCK MENTOR (Special to The Daily)' MADISON, Wis., Dec. 2.-Johnny Farquhar, Canadian veteran hockey and winter sports expert, will again coach the University of Wis- consin puck chasers, according to an announcement by George Little, director of Badger athletics, Sat- urday. Farquhar telegraphed his accep- tance of the contract tendered him, from his home at Winnipeg, Mani- toba, indicating that he would ar- rive in Madison Dec. 10 to start his third season as coach of the Bad- ger sextet.
