By DAVIS J. WALSH,
EW YORK, Dec
15.—An end
from the south,
another from the
shade of the
classic New Hav
en elms, if any. A
tackle from
P e n n s y lv anla,
another from the
spaces, mostly
open. Two guards
from Chicago and Dartmouth, a cen
ter from California, three of the four
horsemen, and the Inevitable Grange.
This is the writer’s conception of the
•11-American football team for the
season of 1!I24. /
A comparative few of those named
are picked sight-unseen. Wakefield
t) of Vanderbilt, for example, lias
played two remarkable seasons
without a single eastern critic get
ting an optical slant on bis ability.
The soutli claims him as one of
the greatest ends that ever played
tile game and there are not enough
good ends at hand to offset that
ballyhoo Liinian of Vale, a man who
does everything well, can hardly be
kept off tlie opposite wing.
Weir of Nebraska is another
whom it was the writer’s misfor
tune to miss in action. Yet Weir
played tlie greatest game of the
year against Notre Dame, they say,
and a inan who can do that once
will do it again. It is the general
idea that Weir belongs. MrGinley
of Pennsylvania, a remarkably fast
man on the charge, a great tackier
and far faster than his ends, down
field, is flic second best in a really
line field.
Pondelik of Chicago and Diehl of
Dartmouth, were the big factors in
j the success of their respective teams
f although their work was the sort
that failed to catch the eye of the
City Pin Meet j
Alievs Selected
*
Officials of the City Bowling as.-o
Clatton at a meeting held at the Elks
club Sunday decided to hold the an
nual city fowling tournament on the
^__ Recreation Parlor alleys the week
starting January 15. Only after care
ful consideration did the oglrlals
award the tourney to the Recreation
alleys, it was deemed advisable to
hold the event where the most games
could be rolled at one time. Twelve
of the Recreation drives will he used
for the tournament.
Plana are on foot to mako the
tournament the largest In the city's
history. Efforts will be made to have
no less than 100 five men teams
entered. The event will be a handi
cap Affair, in which each man's aver
age season score will be taken into
> consideration. The same method will
be used iu the doubles and singles.
Entries for the tourney must be in
the hands of the secretary not later
A than January 8. An entrance fee of
* 82 will be charged to bowlers for
each event.

Elliott Football Playt-rs
Honored at Banquet
Elliott, In., Dec. 15.—Members of
the Elliott High school football team
were honored guests at a banquet
given recently at the Will Mercer
home. Headed hy Superintendent
Hlmmons, the entire squad was roy
ally feted.
Poach Baumgardner acted ns
toastmaster with senior tea mmem
her* responding to toasts, Including
Bussell Rush. Frank Isom, I.yle

Meyers. Charles Hewitt and Mr.

crowd. All too few gains were made
through their positions and they had
the speed to step out and head the
interference with startling effect on
the attack. Both were almost equal
ly effective in hurrying the kicker
or passer, although the writer is
Inclined to give the edge to Diehl In
this respect. There were a great
plenty of fine guards during the year.
The same applies to the centers,
where llorrel of California, Lovejoy
of Yale, Eckstein of Brown, Johnson
of Pittsburgh, Walsh of Notre Dame
and Oarbisch of West Point stood out
wilh almost equal brilliance. Horrell
was the most consistent, however.
Walsh played great football against
the Army, but did not do so wall
after recovering from his injuries.
Oarbisch was very good in the Navy
game, quite indifferent in others.
Lovejoy seemed to find the duties of
leadership an extra burden he could
not exactly laugh off, although he
out played Oarbisch.
The backfleid needs little elabora
tion. Grange was the greatest back
of Aie generation, Crowley and
Laydcn almost indispensable, and
Stuhldreher easily the best quar
terback of the year. The writer
saw him make several mistakes,
but they were of minor signifieance.
He whs the best quarterback on a
game-to-gume analysis.
In the same connection, it was
said that Itaker of Northwestern
outplayed the Horsemen individu
ally when they met. But it is the
writer’s idea that he didn't do so
is what an all-American team stands
is what an all-American team stads
for.
In passing, it might be remarked
that many players are unmentloned
with regret and a vague sense of fore
boding. Thirty-three players no more
represent the entire field of stars
than rivets represent thumbtack*,

Brownlee report that a party of
Omaha ns gave them the greatest
thrill a short time ago. It seems that ;
the party consisted of Duke De Stra- '
ta. Bat Masterron. Herman Snyder.
Joe Redfleld and Dave Wr ght. They
drove out there in a nice shiny Pack
ard and proceeded to burn out their
clutch and wreck a few gears. Sand
hitlers c-urat to their rescue and found
that the car was carrying a weight of |
some seven and a half tons.
"These hunters," said a Brownlee
man, "had enough duffle and para
phernalia to equip an expedition to
the north pole. As a duck hunting
party it was nil, but as a polur ex
pedition it was a great success. If
th «e felluws carry that much Junk
on a shooting trip, they’d have to
charter a whole boat if they went on
a pleasure trip to Europe."
Goldstein Will j
Defend Title
New York, Bee. 15.—A busy week
In boxing will be terminated on Fri
day with the first world champion
ship bout held In a New York ring
during the current Indoor season. On
the occasion, Abe Goldstein, bantam
weight champion, will defend his title
against Ivldie (Cunjionball) Martin, the
Brooklyn contender. Martin is grant
ed better than an even chance to win
by the critics.
The week'a activities will be in
augurated tonight when Charlie Wel
nert, recent conqueror of Flrpo, will
meet Jack Sharkey, Boston heavy
weight.in Newnrk and Tony Vacar
relll, will take on Lew Paluso, Salt
Lake featherweight, at the Lennox
S|>orts club. On Wednesday the Gar
den ring will see Joe Silvan! attempt
to get revenge from Mike Ferrara of
Chill, known as the Little Flrpo. Fer
rara won on a questionable knockout
the last time out, many claiming the
blow was foul.

Talk That Landis Is Not Sat
isfied With V ole of Confi- i
dence Given Him by Ma
jor and Minor Magnates.
EW YORK, Dec. 15.
—Baseball la rife
with gossip now as
to what extent the
dignity and feelings
of Commissioner K.
M. Landis have been 1
appeased and as- '
gauged by the va
rious resolutions of
the major and minor
leagues upholding
him in every way■
and either snubbing
or branding Ban
Johnson as a harm
ful Influence to the
welfare of the
game.
There is some talk that Landis is
not satisfied, and that he told a friend
“he wanted no such victor1/ as a year
ago,” when his integrity and admin
istration was given a solid vote of
confidence. He is is said io be par- ,
ticulariy displeased, apart from John
son's assertion he was incompetent,
at being called "a wild-eyed nut" by
the American league chief.
His decision as to whether he in
tends to demand Johnson be forced
out of the American league presi
dency is not likely to become
known until the joint meeting of
the National and American
leagues in Chicago Wednesday.
In the meantime one guess seems
as good as another, as Landis has
not publicly Indicated his intentions.
"Should Landis demand Johnson be
banished. Ban is apt to win many
more friends than he has now, and,

[oodness knows, he seems to nave
,-ery few. I think there are many—
hough perhaps they are not in a
josltlon to do him any good in keep
ng his $30,000 a year job—who be
leve that the old man la entitled to
nurh consideration for his splendid
s-ork in the past.
"The American league is a great
nonument t obis organization genius,
ie got at the root of crookedness in
(Xcellenl. fashion, as in the case of
he ‘black «ux.‘ He ha* played a
treat part in the development of
laneball for his fearlessness and oth
X qualities.
"He seems to have "popped off”
very unwisely in his many attacks
on Landis, poor Ban could not see
why lamdis, a man not as well
versed in baseball as lie should be
put over him. The last straw?, as
regards his power in his own
league, appears to have snapped in
the circuits directors not holding ]
his chargps of crookedness in the
Pacific Coast league as well founded.
“But we all make errors. Ban
seems lo have decided to keep quiet
henceforth as regards Landis busi
ness. I would think, in view of his
good work over a long period, ha
should be allowed to keep his job.
At the same time, I am not clear
just how Iktiulis could force him
out of It."
“The fans undoubtedly are Inter
ested ill the case, though of course,
more so In the playing of the game
itself. It would lie interesting to
know what they, the supporters of
the game, think about the situation,
tion.
"Also it would be Interesting, high
ly so, to know what impressions they
hold of the capabilities of Landis and
Johnson himself. There must be a
man in whom the fans repose abso
lute confidence at the head of base
ball.”
Tigers Start
Final Training
for Coast Game
T.UMBIA. Mo., Dec. 15.
—After a day of
rest yesterday the
University of
Missouri football
squad was ready
today for the
nal lap of its
raining before
leparture Satur
day for Los An
gelea. Cal., where
the Tiger* will
meet the Univer
sity of Southern
California in a
post season game
Christmas day. [
The 21 Tigers
who are selected
to take the trip and who have been
working daily for more than a week
to get back into condition for the
game were given an unusually long
workout Saturday, most of the atten
tion being given to the perfecting of
a defense against Southern California
tactics as have been uncovered in pre
vious games the Trojans have played
and reported to the Missouri coaches
from friends on the Pacific coast.
The Missouri aggregation is in
splendid shape physically, probably in
finer form than at any time this sea
son, for there has been plenty of time
for all of the men to recover from
early season injuries which might
have slowed them up, and while their
last week's work has been heavy
enough to keep them in good condi
tion, there has been nothing to cause
injuries which might weaken the Mis
souri hopes of success.
