By Associated Pres*.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The 1924
all-American football eleven
picked by Walter Camp, dean of
gridiron authorities, Is notable chief
ly for the selection of no more than
one star from any eleven In the coun
try, and Its failure to place on the
first team any representative of the
"Big Three"—Harvard, Yale and
Princeton.
The east’s famous triumvirate, an
cient strongholds of the game, le ig
nored on the first team for the first
time in the 35 years Camp's selec
tions havs been made.
It marks, too, a climax In the wide
spread development of playing stand
ards since 1889 and 1890, when Camp
Picked • his first two all-American
teams entirely from the squads of the
"Big Three,” then dominant In the
game, but now forced to yield their
ancient supremacy to other and ever
increasing rivals.
Harvard Gets Nothing.
Harvard Is not represented at all In
Camp's selections, for the first time
the Crimson failing to place a man
on either the second or third teams
which he also picks. Previously, Har
vard had failed only in the war year
of 1918 to have an entry on the first
eleven. Yale, although it finished Its
second straight season without defeat
and captured the “Big Three" crown
once more, is recognized only on the
second team, with Captain Hovejoy at
center and Ducky Pond in the back
fleld. Princeton is on even basis in
this respect, the Tigers having Be
attie at guard and Slagle at quarter
back on the second string combina
tion. Geographically the 1924 selec
tions are well distributed for on the
first team the east has six representa
tives, the middlewest five and the far
west one. Among the 33 stars in
cluded In the three combinations, the
east leads with 16, the middle west
has 10, the far west six and the south
one. £
Three players are recognized on the
first team for the second time. They
are Harold (Red) Grange, famous Illi
nois hack and outstanding Individual
star of the year; Ed Garblsch, Army
center, who returns to the post he
held In 1922; and Homer Hazel, Rut
gers, who was picked as sn end In
1923 and fullback this season.
Parallels for Shift.
Hazel's shift from the line to the
backfleld has few psrellels. Back in
ir.oi. Clinker of West Point was
• hosen as a tackle and the following
year he gained a place as halfback.
Walter Kckcrsall of Chicago was an
end on the 1904 eleven, but shifted
to quarterback, where he gained his
greatest fame, in 1903 and 1906.
Harrell of California also Is out of
position, although he previously has
not been on Camp's first eleven. H?
is at guard on the 1924 list, but his
regular pust is center.
Six captains are included in the
first team.' Besides Ilorrell and Gar
blsch, they are BJorkman of Dart
mouth and Berry of La Fayette, ends;
JO. Weir of Nebraska, tackle, and Wal
ler Kopplsch, three times Columbia
leader and backfleld star, the first
Columbia player to gain a place on
the first team since 1903.
Camp's choices vary radically with
the opinion sof the numerous ohter
gridiron critics whose all star selec
tions already have been published.
He selects BJorkman and Berry, two
easterners, for first string ends,
whereas a majority of eastern critics
lilted this pair below Lunuin of Yale,
who is not mentioned at all by Camp,
ami Mahany of Holy Cross, who is
placed on the third team.
Slaughter at Guard,
Slaughter of Michigan, placed at
guard, also was overlooked In most
published select ions, while Diehl of
Dartmouth and Harwich of West
Point, generally chosen h yolher crit
ics us all eastern guards, find no
place in <' .••.•>'.< array.
Noire Dan e, despite Its recognition
ns the count! ' 's outstanding eleven,
fares poorly in the selections- Harry
Stuhldreher. field marshal of the fa
mous "Four Horsemen.” as the Notre
Dame backfleld was known. Is the
only Hoosier on the first team. One
of his running mates. Jimmy Crow
ley.- -Is on the second outfit, while
Adam Walsh, captain and widely se
lected as first all-American center by
others, is on the third combination
Elmer Hayden, Natre Dame fullback
flhd also chosen for first honors In
other quarters, is not mentioned.
Harold Shtdler, University of Wash
ington back, who led the Pacific
coast scorers, and Helnie Benkert,
Rutgers, star who topped the eastern
scoring array, also are mentioned In
the Camp list.

Hornsby Proves
Easy Mark for
“Dazzy” Vance
Last summer Roger* Hornsby was
in Brooklyn when one of the scribe*
met him coming out of Rhbets Field
with Daisy Vance, he writer, dur
ing the course of the ensuing con
versation, asked him If he had ever
struck out three time* In a game.
Hornsby couldn't remember that he
had, and said so.
"Well," laughed Daisy. "I’m going
to pitch tomorrow, and I'll fan you
three times, Just to make you under
stand how It feel*.”
The nest day, a Saturday, was
eloudy, and the best sort of an after
noon for Vance’s terrific speed. And,
true to his boast, he struck the
mighty Hornsby out on his first
three trips to the plate. Once Rogers
swung at the third strike and twice
he took It without moving hi* hat
from hi* shoulder.

‘Runt’ Marr Seeks
to Pilot Sooner
Club
Fort Smith, Ark.,' Dec. 30.—Clift
(Runt) Marr, former third baseman
for the Sioux City, Des Moines and
Wichita clubs fn the Western league
and for the last two years manager
of teams in the Western association.
Is looking for a chance to get back
into the Teamey circuit again, but
this time in a managerial role.
The diminutive third baseman has
admitted that he has written Jack
Holland, owner of the Oklahoma City
club, relative to piloting the Sooners
during the 1925 campaign. Marr in
ferred that two years ago Holland
offered him the managerial reins of
the Sooners at a reported salary of
$1,500. Marr at the time was leading
the Norfolk club in the Nebraska
State league. Somehow or other the
deal fell through.
Marr kept the Fort Smith club in
the 1924 pennant race up until the
last 24 hours of the season. In 1923
his Springfield club finished a game
and a half behind the pennant win
ners, while in 1922 as a pilot for the
first time he led the Norfolk club
to a pennant in the Nebraska State
league. Last season Marr led the
league in fielding for second and
third basemen.

It.r Amwlalnl
New York, Dec. 29.—The Football
Coaches’ association, at their annual
meeting today, recommended four im
portant changes in the gridiron rules
for 1925, and elected Robert Zuppke,
Illinois coach, as president to succeed
John \V. Helsman of Rice Institute,
after a keen contest. In which Field
ing H. Yost, Michigan, was a rival
candidate.
The changes suggested to the rules
committee include discontinuance of
first down on offside penalty un
less distance given is beyond point
to be gained; placing ball for kickoff
at 40-yard line, instead of midfield,
with allowance of tee not to exceed
tour Inches; making head linesman,
instead of referee, responsible for
watching roughing of punter; and
eliminating first down on recovery of
blocked kick by kicker’s side.

EW YORK, Dec. 23.—
Defending modern
football, its alms
and effects, Maj.
John L. Griffith,
commissioner o f
athletics in the
western confer
J ence, in a speech
prepared for deliv
ery today hit back
it three classes of
the game's critics
which he labeled
as "feminists, de
structionista and
educational com
munists.”
Major Griffith's remarks, to be de
livered before the annual meeting of
the Fooball Coaches’ Association of
America, were intended as an answer
to recent attacks upon the growing
importance of football in Intercollegi
ate life. Among the most recent out
spoken critics was Dean Angel of the
University of Michigan, who asserted
football was diverting too much at
tention from the fundamental pur
poses of university training.
"There are three classes of people
alarmed at the growth of modern
football In our schools and colleges,"
said Major Griffith, "First, there are
the feminists. These persons suggest
that the boys who play football these
days do not derive any fun or pleas
ure from playing. They suggest that
spring practice should be abolished
because it Is all hard work and no
fun. They either would have our
boy* not try so hard to win, or play
only games that are not fatiguing
and do not entail any physical hard
ships.
Then there are the destructionlsts.
who would build up intramural ath
letics by abolishing or curtailing in
tercollegiate football. They do not
realize that it Is possible to have
competitive teams and mass athletics
at the same time. Last year In the
western conference 72 per cent of the
male students were enrolled in some
physical education activity or other.
At Williams college this fall 93 per
cent of the men were in athletics.
"Kduoatlonul destructionlsts also
believe that football coaches are
paid higher salaries ttian leading
educators. The Carnegie lsaard for
the advancement of teaching some
time ago published a report of a
survey made In one section of the
United States, which showed that
the average salary paid football
coaches was 13.000.
"Then there are the educational
communists who would not have
one part of the educational pro
gram given more prominence than
any other party, and who believe
that if on* activity Is succeeding
out of proportion it should be re
stricted, Possibly If they would
spend more time in building up
their own activities they would ac
complish more than they can hope
to accomplish by sttacklng the
physical education part of the edu
cational program.
"The future of fooball ts assured
If the men charged with the respon
sibility of administering football and
the other athletic activities conduct
them tn such a way as to serve so
clety. Through the medium of our
games *we are Improving the man
rera *ml morals of society, are teach
ing lessons of loyalty, cooperation,
rules observation and fair play."

Cornhusker Ball
Lugger Believed
Ideal Man for Job
Three Years Recognized as
All-American Player; Love
for School Would Offset '
Present Work.
ninr CHAMBERLAIN, the great
Cornhusker ball-lugger of a few
years ago, has every quality ef
leadership and football knowledge te
fit him for the position of head coach
at the University of Nebraska, lji the
opinion of Dave Noble, the Omaha
boy who won nationwide attention as
a Cornhusker halfback.
And In addition to hia consummate
knowledge of the game, hie loyalty
to old Nebraska Is an asset of the
sort which cannot be bought with *
dollars, Noble says.
"Guy Chamberlain knows a* much
or more football than any other coach
in the country," said Dave. * “More
over. he ha* a faculty for getting the
mo*t out of players, not because he
Is a driver, for he isn't that eert, but
because they like him and will do
their utmost to please hint by pla>*^
ing hard.
"Players want to do thing* for Guy.
He is considered one of ttie greatest
football player* that ever- Mred back
I in Ohio, where he ha* been playing
with and coaching the grf^teet of
professional teams.
*'I spoke to him about cwicltlng at
Nebraska some time ago. realising
that it was probable Coach Dawson
would lessen his dutie*. Ho replied
that Nebraska would be the only uni
versity in the United States where
he would accept a job coaching, but
he would take no atepa toward going
after the job.
"He has been playing and coaching
professional because he lores the
game. His loyalty to Nebraska di»
counts any objection* which might
be raised about hia having played
professional football. He's a Ne
braska man. and that's what counts.
And his association en the football
field with the stars of a doeen other
big universities, all of whom have
ideas and styles of football that dif
fer in some phase*, has helped him
gain a wonderful knowledge of the
game. Of course hia training under
the great Stielm was a liberal course
in the fine arts of football, te "begin
with."
Chamberlain was given AJt-Amerl
can recognition during his three
years as a varsity man at Nebraska.
Many of tha thousand* who breath
lessly watched him rip and tear
through opponent tackier* Mill be
lieve him the greatest ball carrier of^
all time. He had the change
pace, the leg-creasing method of
throwing off tackier* and tremendou*
speed. Moreover, he knew the for
ward pas*, which In those daye won
many a victory for the Crimson and
White.
