Although western comerence
universities produced a number of
excellent foot ball warriors during
the past season, there were players
on other elevens in the middle west
whose consistent playing during the
. IV it
year warrants recognition. ior tnis
reason it is only fitting to honor
these men by selecting all-western
first and second elevens.
Ever since foot ball has been play-
, cd in our American institutions there
have been men who have ended their
s careers unheard and unsungk' It
has been unfortunat that such play
. ers were members cf smaller col
Mege elevens and did not receive the
support to make them the really
great players they were.
Pier Naval Team Recalled.
Foot ball fans in the middle west
will remember the municipal pier
eleven of Chicago in 1918. The
team of that naval ?ost was com-
posed of great players. Half Back
Johnson was looked upon as one
of the great backs in tne country,
but, he was never heard of outside
of the state of Iowa when he was
a member of the Morningside col
lege eleven. There have been many
such cases.
There were three really grca
players who were members of minor
college elevens this fall who would
have been given serious recognition
for the honorary elevens had they
been members of stronger elcvertf.
These men are Milsted, tackle on the
Wabash eleven; Ogde-n. center on
De Pauw, and (Haussler, half back
on Illinois Wesleyau.
But in the season recently brought
io a successful close such players
-generally were marked men in every
contest, and it was , impossible for
them to do anything ngainst a team
with a strong defense.
, Great Center at Iowa State.
' 'While none of these players can be
placed on either the first or second
team, there is a man who played on
: a smaller Institution team who is
: without doubt oiic of the greatest
- pivot players developed in the west
; since the days of Sclmlz of Michi
f gan and Des Jardien of Chicago.
This player is "Polly" Wallace of
i Ames, a .veritable demon on defense
'i ami one 'of the steadiest men in the
country in passing the ball. He was
i the outstanding forward of the Mis-
Jsouri VaHey conference ana com
imanded the respect of every team
which the Iowa state institution met.
Z Wallace weighs 18! pounds and is
. 5 feet 10 inches tall. In 191$ he held
down the pivot 'position for Minne
sota and was considered the best
man in the position in the Section.
In 1919 he was in the navy and if
his S. A. T. C. year at the Gopher
college does not count against him
Jlie will be eligible for competition
'next fall.
Holds StrongHawkeyes Alone.
' It will be recallfd that Iowa de
feated Ames, 14 to 10, for the Hawk
; eye state championship, y No othet
: person than Howard Jones, coach of
the Hawkcye eleven, is authority for
: the statement that his team would
'have been the victor by at least three
touchdowns had it not been for the
. great defensive playing of Wallace
In this contest theAmes center,
who has v nose for the ball, not
only pluf;ed his center holes, but
Vdid most' of the tackling on the
Swings. He repeatedV-nailed Aubrey
- Devine on attempted end runs, and
:he was Iowa's menace in breaking
;up the short forward pass attack
."Although a big man, he tackled
with the same effect of a lighter
player. Taking all angles of the po
sition into consideration, he is right
: full entitled to thvi. honor. '

Coughlln for 6thr Tackle.
The other tackle position Is given to
Cnpt. Frank Coughlln of Notre Dame, who
- piloted his eleven through the season wlth

admirable mate for Vosa. He knows the
. 'position thoroughly and at Notre Dame
Ms rated with the best linemen In the
history of the Institution.
The Notre Dame leader was one of the
'main factors In the victory of his team
vover the Army. Hia sterling playing

1 some of whom place him on a par with
Keck, the treat Princeton ckle.
Coughlln's long experience this being his

Is one of his beet assets. He knows how

Wonderful Season
For Alabama Colt
Few Two-Year-Olds Won
IVlore Races During 1920
Than Valentine's Bogalusa.
(All Rights Reserved by Collier's Publishing
Company.)
The most remarkable campaign
ever made by a 2-year-old trotter
in the history of the Grand Circuit
was that of the Alabama-owned
colt, Bogalusa, which was raced the
past season by the Ohio reinsman,
Charles Valentine. A few 2-year-olds
have won more races in a
single senson; two have taken faster
records than the colt from the cot
ton country, but none have made
such a long and at the same time
s'uch a successful campaign. For
the average 2-yer-old, three or four,
or at the most, a half dozen, races
had been considered all that one of
that tendct age should be subjected
to, yet BogHlusa took part in no
fewer than 12 contests for the money
the past season, the majority of
them hard-fought races against the
best 2-year-olds of the year.
' Few aged trotters made 4s stren
uous a campaign as Bogalusa dur
ing the past season, as hisYampaign
started the second , week of" the
Grand Circuit, at the Toledo meet
ing, and continued almost without
interruption to the close at At
lanta, where he took his best record
of 2:06J4. He did not race at
either of the North Randall meet
ings, northe second week of the
Columbus and Lexington meetings;
four of the weeks of the season
he did not coyest for. the money.
However, the .-second week at Co
lumbus, which was the week prev
ious to his most important start, the
Kentucky Futurity, he was worked
in 2:07 and 2:09, probably the
fastest workout ever given a 2-year-
old in preparation for an important
race.
The youngster had been a con
tender in the Horse Review futurity
which Rose Scott had won in 2;06Vi,.
He had won in 2:03 at Readville and
hjn 2:08'4 at Syracuse. The closing
if , '? . ' , , .
week of the season he won his race
easily and a few days later was
started to beat his best record of
2:08, trotting in 2:06 ;4, the fastest
mile in 19J0 by a 2-y car-old. Only
The Real Lady and Peter Volo,
with 2-year-old records of 2:04Vi
and 2:04J4 respectively, have taken
faster records at the age. While
Rose Scott defeated him at Colum
bus and Lexington, there are not a
few who believe that the black filly
will have her troubles taking the
measure of the chestnut colt in the
sentr futurities next season.

Welker Cochran and

Hoppe Extend Self
With the three best billiard play
ers in the country the" only entrants
in the final round of the national
championship 18.2 balk line tourna
ment, which will be staged. in New
York December 6, 7 and 8, the
matches ''should be productive of
better billiard play than in any tour
nament ever before held. W elker
Cochran and Young- Jake Schaefer
are the two players who qualified in
the preliminary round at San Fran
cisco to tackle the champion, Willie
Hoppe.
Not only is Hoppe playing better
than ever ' in his life, but Cochran
and Schaefer arc showing more
speed than ever before. There are
few who are willing to believe that
Hoppe is on the verg of losing the
title he has Jield for IS years, but
the work of Cochran and Schaefer
has been such as to convince billiard
ffc-perts that they are in a position
to make Hoppe extend hjmself.
Ora Morningstar, wh, finished
second' to Hoppe in the tourney last
year, has stated that Cochran and
Schaefer will compel Willi Hoppe
to play all the billiards he kYowsto
retain the national balk line cham
pionship. Morningstar was one of
the contestants in the preliminary
round recently played at San Fran
cisco. . , i
In the meantime Edouard Hore

Important Sale Made
omce Close of 1920
The most important sale consum
mated since the close of the Grand
Circuit season was that of the bay
mare, My Choice, which passed, to
the possession of the wealthy ama
teur reinsman, John L. Dodge. This
mare was the property of, the fa
mous turfman, John E. Madden, and
had made but two appearances in
Grand Circuit racrs, both at the re
cent Lexingtonmeeting, following

Four Brightest Stars of Grid Year
Work of Charley Buell, Don Lourie,' Tim "Callahan
And Arnold Horween During 1920 Season Will
Long Be Remembered by Followers of "Big
Three." - - '
New York, Dec. 4. -Names that
will long be remembered by foot ball
enthusiasts who fol!oy the fortunes
of the "Big Three" are those of
Charley Buell, Don Lourie, Tim Cal
lahan and Arnold Horween.
Hero is a quartet whose feats stood
out in bright relief amid the doings
of the big trio during the greatest
season foot ball has ever known.
Don Lourie, versatile exponent of
the forward pass and the twisting,
dodging;, skidding, open field run, de
serves first rank among the quarter
backs of the country this year. He
is surely entitled to the pivotal po
sition on every expert's mythical
eleven, and it is a bet that he will
win recognition from a majority. The
Tiger quarterback is a dynamo of ac
tion, a good field general and an all
around star. He is nearly as good a
defensive player as he is on offense
and his wcyk in every big Princeton
game was an outstanding-feature.
Charley Buell, who hails from
Hartford, Conn., and whose work in
handling the forward pass and boot
ing field goals won him recognition
as Harvard's brightest star, has al
ready emblazoned his name in Harvard-Yale
records. His two field
goals against Yale and the manner
in which he handled the. big Crim
son team won him enough glory to
last the average foot ball player a
lifetime. -
Arnold Horween, the Crimson cap
tain, starred in every game played
by Harvard this year as a ground-

Wills Is Impatient ( ,
New York. Harrv Will, the
giant negro" heavyweight, is nxious
to get a match with some oi the big

gainer., With Owen ad Churchill
lie plowed up the enemy lines for
consistent gains and he also had the
menace of the educated toe to com
pel respect from opponents. Hor
ween proved his versatility when he
was' taken from the center position
and switched to fullback, w Mere he
instantly made good. As. a line
plunger he is one of the most, con
sistent ground-gainers we have ever
seen and his work on defensi is as
nearly perfect as it fcotild be. The
fact that he is fast for a big fellow,
keeps his feet weW, uses excellent
judginqnt in picking holes and Kjeks
field goals with power and accuracy
gives him the edge on other full
backs. Big Tim Callahan, captain and
guard of the battered Yal team, will
iive long in the memorv of eastern
foot ball fans. It was Callahan's ill
Juck to captain a losing team two
years m succession, but it iwas no
fault of his that Yale failed against
its ancient rivals. Had the Yale
team as a whole played foot ball as
Callahan played it consistently all
season Yale would have been victo
rious over both Princeton and Har
vard, such was the excellence of Big
Tim's work in the line. He was a
giant on defense and a behemoth on
offense. He played half of.the Har
vard game with an .'njured arm hang
ing helplessly by his side, for that is
the way the Callahans are. No, they
will not forget Tim Callahan, Lourie,
Horween or Buell: i
Makes New Billiard Record
New York. Charley Peterson, the
fancy billiard shot expert from St.
Louis, established what is believed
to be a new world's record for speed
in clicking off caroms when he made
a run. of 1,020 points in five minutes
and 40 seconds. Peterson holds the
record for 100 shots 27- seconds.

probable that in the near future John
H. Hitchcock, well-known St. "'An
drews professional, will leave this
country for America to take up an
appointment. He is a brother of

in strengthening their clubs. Al!
are praying to land a second Babe
Ruth in order to add a million ilol
lars to the box office receipts; bu;
it will be a long time before another
home run king is unearthed.
Miller Muggins of the Yankees is
looking for new outfield material
and a pitcher to help Mays, Quinn
Shawkey and Collins. For an out
fielder Huggins wants one fleet on
foot. He is anxious to put more
speed in the team's make-up. Ruth,
of course, is a fixture in the outfield
garden.
Manager McGraw of the Giants
wants a second-baseman, one who
can hit as well as field. Larry
Doyle's days are about over, .and
McGraw is anxious to replace the
veteran with a seasoned second
sacker. And money will be no ob
ject to McGraw in going after the
man he wants. O: course, he is
still in the market for Rogers
Hornsby, . star sticker of the Na
tional league, but it looks as if
Hornsby will stay with the Cardi
nals. - '
Wilbert Robinson is not going to
stand pat on his champion Dodgers.
The burly leader wants to add
strength to his pitching and catch
ing outfits. He is anxious to get
hold of Ferdi Schupp, once a king,
with the Giants, and now with the
Cardinals, and a deal may be made
with St. Louis to bring the former
star southpaw to the Dodgers. And
if Robby lands Schupp there is no
doubt he will bring him back to the
form he displayed with the Giants,
for Robby has no peer when it
comes to developing pitchers.
