By IVALTKK l-;< KKKSA1.1,. Copyright. 10't*. Since the winter of 190!) and 1906, when football underwent its most serious operation in history, the old gridiron game has produced its an nual quota of remarkable performers. This has been especially true in the Jcara immediately preceding and fol lowing the world war. Football as a conditioner of men was never so strongly emphasized as il was during the time the United States was engaged in war with Ger many. Kvery camp and cantonment had its teams, not to mention tho number of other units. Soldiers in tho flower of manhood who had never ven tured on the chalk lined Meld before they entered the service engaged in tlie contests, with tho result many, who had strongly opposed the game, are now its staunchest supporters. I he American youth is eager to en gage in some line of athletic en deavor in which there Is an element of danger. He longs to match his mental and physical prowess with oth ers, arnl football affords thi 1 outlet of pentiip enthusiasm. The boy with red blood in his veins longs to he a mem ber of a winning team, and with tills aim In early life will naturally select sotno institution tjf learning which is known for its successful athletics. Highest Caliber of Men l’lay Game. It is this type of American youth who has been successful on the grid iron In former years and the type who mill lie heard from as long as football continues to he our leading Intercol legiate line of athletic endeavor. Such is the caliber of men who are candi dates for this year's all-American teams, which compare very favorably with those selected in the past. Crit ics. like coaches, have their own ideas as to what a candidate should be able to do to make his college team or any honorary eleven. Unlike the allconference and all mestern elevens selected earlier, the field of all-American material must be covered thoroughly and efforts made to place the star performers In combinations which will bring about the desired results should the first team be matched with another of its kind. Every angle of offensive and defensive football must be taken into consideration and no player should be honored becauso he specializes in only one department of play. Offensively, the team should be composed of baekfield players who can execute' any forms of the many styles of attack. The hacks should he able to run the ends, drive oft the EckeirsalFg All°Am®msaunt Elevens • (Copyrifht, 1122.) !

They should | know how to block and tackle, get | in the interference, und be able to | nut forth tho last effort when about to bo tackled. In other words, they ! should bo able to execute the many plays of tho close and open offense In ■ such a manner that tho defense is I kept in a quandary as to what to ex pect. f Average Fan Misses Many Points. While the average fun who attends football games Is constantly on the i alert for the spectacular, he misses I one of tile most Interesting points j in football by not watching what , makes it possible for a back to get away on a long run or smash through I the line. Without the aid of a strong | forward wall the best back who ever lived would be helpless. It is the charging ami blocking of tho linemen which has so muclato do with success ful ground gaining attempts of the ball carriers. The same is true of the interference, and thero must bo per fect co-ordination at all times. This is especially true of the line and back field. One must reineber that men play ing opposite each other in the line sel dom come in contact with each other. We often hear or read of a tackle out playing an opposing tackle or a guard a guard. This is not true. On offettBe the line plays wliat is known as a tight game. The defensive linemen play loose mid to the outside of their opponents. On various plays, the of fensive tucltle will charge the defen sive guard and the offensive end will try to box the defensive taclfle in or charge him straight back. Plays are often evolved of the un balanced line variety. It is on these occasions that the defensive linemen must use their heads and try to figure In a fiffy how to adjust themselves to meet the attack successfully. In most cases they are successful and it Is this type of player who should be given a place on any #11 -American team. Smart Players Figure Plays. The same Is true of the backfleld men on defense. The smart player can generally figure the point of attack and success or failure of the play de pends largely upon how fast the de fensive backs move to the objective. It usually happens that a quarter back discards a play when it falls to gain, and this is the reason why so many coaches instruct their players to put forth every ounce of physical en ergy early in the battle to discourage opponents.

As stated in a previous article, any honorary eleven must be fortified in all departments. It must have the triple threat player, the punter, field goal kicker, forward passer, line plun ger, end-runner, and ends and backs who can get out to catch forward passes. Such players should be equal ly' strong defensively. The team should also be fortified with trick and surprise plays built around players who have the ability to execute them with the desired amount of deception. The point of a quarterback han dling the ball and feeding it to the backs was also broughtNjut In a pre vious article. In these days of direct passing, the quarterback is a player in name only. He is a back and is gen erally called upon to carry the ball as often as the other backs. In some cases the quarterback is injected into the fray for Ills generalship, one of the most necessary assets to any foot ball eleven. I.oelte Moved to Quarter. Such a field general does not have to be small of stature. If he has the football brains along with natural ability, all the better. This is the reason why Gordon Locke of Iowa has been moved from fullback to quarter back on the first all-American team and made captain of the eleven. Al though unknown to most fans, Locke piloted his team through most of the games last season. His selection of plays was almost faultless, while his natural ability' to head the interfer ence, run ihe ends or hit the line makes him doubly valuable in the po sition. Many prominent western coaches are unanimous that Locke Is an exceptional player in that his nat ural ability to do things has never affected his generalship. Charley Buell of Harvard was a great quarterback, but he could not do the many things which Locke did and do so well that his team com pleted the schedule without defeat and numbered Yale among its victims. The Crimson leader was an excellent field general, but when it came to advanc ing the oval, Locke was by far su perior. Uteritz of Michigan was another sterling quarterback who should be a wonderful player next year. Coving ton of Centre was another consistent performer in the position and a great field goal kicker. Charley JSrb of Cali fornia was another steady pilot, as was Pfann of Cornell, Smythe of the Army. Dunn of Marquette and Brad shaw of Baylor. Harry Kipke Wins Berth. Harry Kipke of Michigan is placed at right half back and Is deserving of the honor. There is little about football which this player cannot do to perfection. He was a slur in high school, where he learned the funda mentals, and under Yost's teachings has developed into one of tlie best tacks in Wolverine football history. The Maize and Blue warrior is one of the best triple threat performers in the country and a punter und field goal kicker who ranks with the best. He is fast and elusive, a hard runner who never failed to give his team mates support on all plays. He caught forward passes and tossed them. This general all around ability made him a respected player by all Michigan opponents. Kaw of Cornell is awarded the other half hack position. He is an ideal running mate for Kipke and between the two would make things exceeding ly interesting for any team. The Ithacun is a powerful runner and showed to good advantage in the Pennsylvania game when his work was admired by Coach Zuppke of Illi nois. Spaulding of Minnesota and oth er conference mentors who saw the game. Martineau of Minnesota is placed on the second team. This player was the outstanding performance on the Gopher eleven and although a marked man In every contest never failed to deliver. Nardacci of West Virginia. Jordon and Mallory of Yale, Williams of Wisconsin, Brunner of Lafayette, Krickson of Washington and Jeffer son Nichols of California, Wilson of Penn State, Barron of Georgia Tech, Shirey of Auburn, Noble of Nebraska, Boelter of Drake, and Py ott of Chicago were other halfbacks whose work throughout the season was commendable. Owen of Harvard at Full. Owen of Harvard is placed at full back because he can execute almost faultlessly the many requirements of [ the position. This player lias been the main eng in the Crimson machine for the last two years and has seldom been found wanting. Ho is a natural football player who likes the game and the rougher the going the better he performs^ In many ways he resem bles Locke of Iowa in that he can hit the line, slant oft the tackles or run the ends. He is as fast as any player selected for the backfield and drives with power and speed. Morrison of California is Owen's closest contender for the honor. The Californian raised havoc in the Pacific Coast conference'and literally tore op posing lines to pieces. Cappon of Michigan, Hewitt of Pittsburgh, Thom I as of Chicago, Custner of Notre Dame, Cleaves of Princeton, Hartley of Ne j braska, Wood of the Army, Tyronne j of Colgate, Asplundth of Swarthmore and Tanner of Centre were among the other consistent performers in the position. Brick Muller of California, one of the greatest ends the game has ever produced, is placed on the right wing | of the first team. This player lias ! everything which goes to make a great j end. He is tall, rangy and possesses | football instinct. In the two Inter I sectional games with Ohio State and 1 W. laftd J.. Muller did everything ex 1 pected of an ?nd. He smashed inter [ lercuce, was down under kicks and continually plucked forward pusses out of tile air. He played consistent ly all season and was one of the rea sons why his tram won the Pacific coast champiouthip for the third suc cessive year. Kirli Award'd Flank Position. Kirk of Michigan is awarded the other flank position. The Wolverine is one of the best ends ever developed at Ann Arbor and ranks witli Snow, Redden And Johnny Garrells in Mich igan football history. He did things without apparent effort and was al ways in the vicinty of the ball. He caught forward pusses with ridicu lous ease and boxed tackles better than any Michigan end of recent years. Gray of Princeton is nearly the equal of Muller and Kirk. His gen eral play all season merits his posi tion on the second team, where he would be the first understudy for the players chosen for the first eleven. Roberts of Centre, Spillers of W. and J., Tebell of Wisconsin, Parr of the Navy, Hulman of Yale, Stout of Princeton, Berry of Rafayette, Flor ence of Georgetown. Gouinlock of Cor nell. Kadesky of Iowa, Eklund of Minnesota, Scherrer of Nebraska and Goegel of Michigan were other excel lent flank players. Cornliuskers Represented. Raymond Weller of Nebraska is placed at_ right tackle on the lirst team. The Cornhusker had every thing which goes to make a great line man and was a tower of strength to his team. He continually varied his charges and was hard to keep out of plays. In the Notre Dame game he frequently broke through and nipped plays before they started. In the Syracuse game he successfully ^check ed all plays sent his way while teams In the Missouri Valley seldom sent for mations at him. lie was big and ac tive, the ideal build for a tackle. Treat of Princeton is given the other tackle position. This playpr was in no small measure responsible for the Tigers' victories over Chicago. Vale and Harvard, lie was a vicious charger. who frequently broke through opposing lines and nailed the runner before he reached the scrim mage line. Like Weller, it was hard to keep him out of plays and he had tlie respect of opponents. Guilan of Brown was about the equal of Weller and Treat. In fact, many considered the Brown warrior the host in his position along the At lantic seaboard. Below of Wisconsin, Thurman of Pennsylvania, Bomar of Vanderbilt, Muirhead of Michigan, Thompson of Iowa, Nesbit of Mary land, Captain Meredith of West Vir ginia, Beam of California, Bauer of Princeton, Mulligan of the Army, Mc Mahon of Penn State, Hanson of Cor nell and Pen field of Northwestern were other outstanding tackles, liafayettu Guard Repeats. The right guard position is awarded to Schwab of Lafayette. This player was chosen for the position a year ago and played a better game this season. He is big and shifty, the type of player who scents plays quickly and is seldom caught out of position. Breidstcr of bhe Army is given the other guard position. This player guided his eleven through a success ful season, during which his team was undefeated. He is a veteran, well schooled in all departments of play, and too experienced to be drawn by the slightest feints. Other guards who performed con sistently throughout the year are Hubbard of Harvard, McMillen of Illi nois, Calland of Southern California, Bedenk of Penn State, Degree of Notre Dame, Hahn of Kansas Aggies, Dick inson of Princeton, Minnick of Iowa, Pondelik of Chicago, Pixley of Ohio State. Sotron of West Virginia, Clark of California, Carney of the Navy, Cross of Vale, Compton,of Alabama, Sack of Pittsburgh, Davis of Georgia Tech, anil Reagan of Auburn. Maroon Center Just Misses. The center position is given to Bow ser of Pittsburgh, although King of Chicago and Garbisch of the Army are nearly his equal. The Smoky City player was one of the most consistent performers on Glen Warner’s eleven, and was one of tho reasons why Pitt defeated its old rival, Penn State, on Thanksgiving day. Bowser is of the aggressive type, ever mindful to pass the ball accurately before charging or holding his ground, and a terror on defense when he played In a roving position. Hcldt of Iowa, Lovcjoy of Yale, Al ford of, Princeton, Heaphy of Boston college, Frye of Georgia Tech and Aaa of Minnesota were the other out standing pivot players. Ten universities and colleges in dif feretit parts of tho country are repre sented on the first eleven whose of fensive. strength can be seen at a glance and there is no reason why it should not be just as powerful de fensively. French Mares Sold. New York, Dec. 16.—A lot of 40 im ported French bred marcs brought here recently in a specially chartered ship, were sold at public auction to night. The 40 head made $140,750, an average of $3,518 each. Ten-year old Sandblast, by Main teon, was bought by J. O. Keene of Kentucky, for the top price of $12. 000.

[ _■ By I. E. SANBORN. Whether or not it {nils on barren ground sumo good seed was sown at tho recent conclave of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, more commonly known as tho hush leagues, by Walter Hap good, business manager of the Rochester club. He has been sowing that soed all the past summer in Monroe county. New York, and tho harvest was so good that folks connected with the promotion of minor league outfits in other parts of tho nation heard about it and became curious to know more of tiie details. So “Hap” was asked to make a speech at the Louisville session and tell them about bis brand of baseball advertising, which is something new in the green diamond field. Hapgood's idea is simply to put advertisements in the newspapers that the funs will read and to make them big enough so they can't miss them and don't need a guide to find them. Instead of the perfunctory two or a dozen agate lines, restricted to the names of the competing clubs, the time of starting the game and the prico of admission, the Rochester man sat down to his Corona and typed a brief, breezy and gossipy “yarn” to be printed in type easily read by a 6-year-old or a 60-year-old in advance of each home game. Kssential Information. It did not omit any essential infor mation about who was going to play with the Stallings tribe, when the fan ought to get to the park nor ho# much it would cost him to get in. The stranger in *own or the occa sional patron would not have to ask a lot of questions of the hotel clerk or the traffic cop after reading the ad. But the regular rooter who knew all about the schedule, the time of game and tho location of his favorite seat, would read the thing, too, out of curiosity at first, but without compul sion thereafter. For he was almost sure to find some interesting bit of gossip about the players or tho pen nant race, and if there was an item of news about tho home team, that was in tho ad also. And it was neith er too long for the hurried business man, nor too short to convey tlie idea there was going to be an interesting scrap at file ball park in the after noon unless it rained too hard. I am not taking away any hearsay evidence about this novelty in base ball ads because I read them myself. And if there is anything a man who has served thirty-two years in news paper work scorns to read, it’s an advertisement—ns a rule. Itapgood's scheme not only lias! solved tho problem of catching the at-1 tention of the fans but has made an | appeal to the newspapers themselves ! through a tender spot. The average club owner has become so accustomed to having tlie newspapers advertise his games gratuitously that he has fallen into the habit of forgetting to do it himself, except perfunctorily and so inconspicuously that a careful search sometimes is necessary to find [ a baseball ad in a strange city. .'More Than Passes Needed. For all the boosting given his busi ness the average club owner thinks a free hand with newspaper passes is all the return required, regardless of the fact that a great many newspaper owners and publishers have not the slightest personal interest in profes sional baseball. Itapgood's daily boosts for his team run into money in ! a seuson and make a noise on a news paper’s books that interests even the ; publisher who never saw a ball game. They also interest the fans and create an impulse that leads frequently to tho turnstile. The cost of the thing will stop a ; lot of baseball magnates, big and little, for they will have to be forcibly . shown the need of better advertising i to believe, it. Inability to produce "copy’’ like Hapgood’s will stop a lot I more who might (frasp the wisdom of 1 the Idea and try to adopt it. For it j takes more than managerial or seerc turial ability to write an ad /hat will compel folks to read it. Without u 1 punch in it, it would be a waste! of j money and good white paper. Hap-j good wrote baseball many years be-j foro he was drafted into the business j end of It In Boston, and perhaps he has created a new Job for future baseball scribes. Cornhusker Gridsters Given Big Banquet Lincoln, Dec. 16.—The Cornhusker banquet, an annual University of Nebraska affair given as a testi monial to the Cornhusker football team, was held last night at the Scot tish Uitfi temple, with a crowd of more than 1.000 present. Addresses com plimentary to the players and coach es were made by Chancellor Avery, i Regent Landis, Prof. Condra, Head Coach Dawson, retiring Captain Hart ley. Captain-elect Lewellen and oth ers. Landis to Visit Coast. Seattle, Wash., Dee. 16.—Judge Ken . esaw M. Landis, national baseball I commissioner, will visit the Pacific \ coast in January or February, Wil | liam H. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast league, reports. Me- 1 Carthy, here on his return from the I annual meeting of the minor leagues at Louisville, said that Judge Landis was enthusiastic over the coast be cause of the players turned out by | its clubs.

New Managers to Be at Helm * of Western Clubs Next Year v When the 13.3 Western league race ] is carved open next April fans around the circuit will find many new faces In the eight different managerial stalls. Oklahoma City was the llrst club to | obtain a new pilot for 1923. Fred L.U- I derus, veteran of many a major league season, will be the new Indian pilot. Luderus succeeds Gus Fisher, tlie veteran backstop. lies Moines obtained Johnny (Red) Corriden, St. Joseph outfielder, to manage its club next summer. "Red" succeeds Jack Graney. former Cleve land outfielder, who was recently re leased. * Omaha introduced itself next by signing Kd Konetchy, another veteran of ttie majors. Kd will replace George I.eidy, former Uetroit scout, as man ager. L.eidy will act as coach for the youngsters. Denver Is angling for a new man ager to till the vacancy left by Bill Rogers, former Coast leaguer. Rumor has it that Joe Berger, former White Sox shortstop and recent manager of Wichita, will pilot the 1923 GrtxzUes at Denver. Frank Isbell isn't certain whether Howard Gregory, Ids veteran pitcher, will manage his 1923 Witches or not, so ibis leaves it looking like Wichita will also have a new pilot. Wally Smith will return to St. Jo seph ugain and Juok Lelive't has al ready been signed to manage his champion Tulsa Oilers next year. Cink Mattlek will manage his Sioux City franchise, if he can tlnd a place to locate jt for the summer. Poor at tendance chased him to move from Sioux City. Lincoln, Neb., refused to accept the club and now It Is probable that Kansas City, Kan., or Joplin, Mo., will obtain it. Haverford Student Proves Worth of Coinjmrative Scores A Haverford student lias figured out that the football honors of the year rest between Haverford and Notre Dame. By a mode of progres sion he reaches his conclusion in 20 moves. Here is the story: Haverford tied Stevens. Stevens tied Hamilton. Hamilton tied Rensselaer. Rensselaer heat Hobart, llohart heat N. V I . N. Y. I', heat Columbia. Columbia heut Wesleyan. Wesleyan beat Tufts. Tufts beat Bates. Bates beat Bowdoin. Colby tied B. U. B. U. tied Holy Cross. Holy Cross beat Vermont. Vermont heat Dartmouth. Dartmouth heat Brown. Brown heat Harvard. Harvard heat Vale. Yale tied Army. Army tied Notre Dame. Therefore, Haverford is on a par with Notre Dame. Prospects Bright for Michigan Ags East Lansing, Mich., Dec. 16.— Coach Bert Barron of the Michigan Aggies football squad expresses great hopes for the 1923 team because his green material of the past season has had its training under tire, and next year’s eleven will he built largely from this year's sophomores who have played together for an entire sea son. i The Aggies this past year sched uled 10 football games, among them tilts with Notre Dame, Indiana, and other schools considered “a little bit out of tho Aggies’ class.” M. A. C. had a disastrous season from the standpoint of victories. But followers of the team were not dis appointed because at tho start Bar lion held out no hope of sustained winnings. He said it all Was a part of his scheme to put a team in the field in 1923 that would make the East Lansing school talked of from coast to coast. He pointed out that the great ma jority of his players were sophomores and that the way to learn football was to play football. He believes he lias succeeded, that his men in real ity have had a two-^ear course in one season nnd that they will form a win ning aggregation next fall. Kansas Loses Five Gridsters Lawrence, Kan., Dec. 16.—One of (lie two freshman quarterbacks on the University of Kansas football squads —Oliver or Walters—bids fair to de velop into a second Tommy Johnson, | K.

Clark believes, however, that be will be aide to /ill the shoes of these players adequately out of this year's freshman squad and second string varsity men. Thoso men of this year's squad left to fill the places made vacant by graduation are Cave, Mosby Burt (fullback), Haley, Lonborg, Mc l.ean, Boone, Ivy, Holderman, Wood ruff, Hodges, Calvert, Shannon Ed wards, Anderson, Baldwin and Theis. With the exception of Ivey, every man of next year's varsity squad started ids career under the tutelage of Coach Clark, and next season is expected to show tlie actual results of Clark's coaching at Iv. U. Rickey Plans Shakeup Among His Cards St. Rouis, Mo,, Dec. 16.—Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Rouis Cardinals, plans a wholesale shake up in liis team before tho beginning of the 1923 pennnnt race, announc ing that every member of. his club, with the exception of Secondbaseman Rogers Ilornsby, home run "king" and leading batter of tho National league, and the catching staff, were on the market either for sale or trade. Badly in need of pitchers, the Cardinal pilot declared his intention of buying and trading .players in or der to build up the htirling staff, which for several seasons has been the dub's weakest pjoint.. Hickey has signed up a dozen re cruit twirlers, who are to be taken on the spring training trip to Braden town, Fla. A number of players al so have been recalled.

Comfortable Clothing Is Important Item in Hunter’s Outfit. It is almost as important to have warm and suitable clothing on a hunt ing trip as it is to be equipped with a smooth working shooting iron and plenty of ammunition. Neglect the former and hunting becomes more of a hardship or endurance contest rather than sport or fun. However, dressing correctly for the hunt is a simple matter and get the right kind of clothes is neither expensive or difficult. The outdoor experts are fond of telling us how to select the correct kind of hunting clothes for different trips and we rend more long and laborous articles on this subject than you can shake a stick at. You know the kind—woolens must weigh “ho many ounces to the square centime ter” and shoes must be greased with such and such a compound at such an hour of the day in order to be wa terproof. If a fellow followed all the directions he received' he would be spending most of his time shopping in an effort to find the “correct” ar ticle and never would get out hunt ing. After all is said and done this ques tion of clothes is just one of good common sense. A fellow' naturally would not try to hunt mountain sheep with rubber boots on his feet any more than he would go hunting rab bits in the snow wearing tennis slip pers. To be sure one can make a mistake in buying footwear in that very often a much heavier boot is purchased than is actually needed. Moreover, outdoorsinen are often slung on some of these socalled wa ter-proof boots in that they are not ab solutely water-proof. While In Alaska I experimented on this waterproof boot proposition, trying out two pairs of socalled water-proof hunting shoes or boots. I greased them faithfully, even soaking the soles and tops in the best grade dope available. The only thing I didn’t do in my effort to have these shoes repel water waa to call in the Indian medicine man and have him "perform his stuff* over these shoes. But in spite of all my labor these more or less expensive hunting shoes kept my feet dry for about IS minutes only while I was hunting in a couple of inches of soft snow. For traveling through snow the rubber pac is the berries. This un lovely looking piece of footgear with the lower part made of heavy rubber and leather uppers sure does keep a fellow’s feet tlry and also warm If worn with a. number of pairs of nil wool hose. I found the pac the one kind of boot that had been tried and proved by hunters, prospectors and other outdoorsinen of the nortli and acclaimed to be the best for hunting in snow. When you buy a pair be sure that you get ’em big enough. If you are going to stick your feet in anything rubber you want it large enough to tuke at least two and pos sibly three pairs of socks. The guides that I ran into in the north used to pull a clever stunt tn their efforts to keep their feet warm. The first day snow struck our neck of the woods I saw them busy on a dried sheepskin, cutting out inner soles. These they put in their rubber pacs and the recommendation was that I do like wise, us a fur inner solo was the dope. However, several pairs of wool hose will do almost as well and if you wear these in your pacs you should have no trouble. Of course, this type of hunting boot is rather heavy, perhaps ungainly. But then, so aro the leather boots heavy. There is nothing so void as oiled leather. You know, when the tem perature gets down well below zero neither oiled leather nor rubber foot gear can be used unless you want to fre< ze to death. Unoiled, smoke tail ned caribou or moose skin shoes with wool next to the feet are the only thing that will do in intense cold. We're for the lightweight leather shoe In ordinary hunting.
