Farrell (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York. .Dec. 7.—Because there is no law against it is one excuse for picking an All-American football team. Because the public wants one picked—perhaps to get an opening to lambast the sport writers—is one réason for the hopeless task of nam- ing eleven superior players out of eleven hundred. Therd is only one satisfaction in picking an All-American team. The picker pleases eleven men and eleven men’s friends. . Perhaps pleasing only eleven men is a fair accomplishment for one day. The annual pastime-of picking a star of star teams originated back in the days when football practieally was confined to the “Big Three.” Then it was a comparatively easy pro- cess, because the “expert” could see all the players in at least three gams. Now, with great teams scattered all over the couptry, with superiority in play swinging westward, a poor human “expert” is lucky to see a great team in action once and the newspapers must be relied upon for judgment of the stars in distant parts. Owing to the difference in time, ac- counts of the Pacific coats. games, when they do get into print in the East are meager almost to the point of uselessness. There is no doubt that California has a wonderful team and that per- haps two or maybe ‘three of Cali- fornia’s players should be on the All- American team, but this information comes in letters from coast enthu- siasts and such reports are sometimes inclined to be a little too enthusiastic. So, for this reason, the writer has | the case of some western players the selection was made after the western players had outplayed those seen in the East. % ‘ Good tackles and backfield ~men stood .out boldly through the season, but the product of guards and ends!| was not so conspicuous. Because of the requirements of the game which keep guards and centers. under the pile most of the time, it.is hard to pick them-out unless their perform- ances fairly slap the spectator in the face. | It is_one little cinch that at least four of the players on tne first team are All-American timber if there ever were such things. Devine, Killinger, Aldrich and Owen could not be out- classed any place 'in ‘the country. Also it would be ai terrifie task to find a pair of ends equal to Anderson and Kiley, both as a - working pair and as individuals. McGuire outplay- ed Keck so badly ‘in'+the Chicago- Princeton game - that the ' eastern critics stamped” him as one’ of the greatest tackles ever seen in these parts, because Keck had been regard- ed as such before. However, Huffman outplayed McGuire by just as wide a margin in the Ohio State-Chicago game. King, the great kicking tackle of the Navy, also made the great Keck look to the bad in the Prince- ton-Navy game. King has been with- in an inch of the All-American, team for two years and this year he! reached the heights. Brown and Breidster are a pair 'of the most ag- gressive, hard-playing guards in the country. On the first team will be found all the material ‘required for a great eleven. The line is heavy, aggressive and fast at the same time. The ends are fleet under punts and the greatest handlers of the forward pass in the game. There are three “triple threats” in the. backfield. Devine is regarded as| the equal of Walter Eckersall as a quarter. Killinger is on of the great-| est running backs in the countfy. He! can kick and he can pass. ¢ Aldrich. throws, slashes through tack[e, runs the ends, kicks superbly | and is a wonder on the defense. wen is one of the hardest line plungers in- the game.

He is hard to bring down in the open field and as a defensive back he is second only to Gilroy of Prince- ton, and Mallory of Yale, two of the greatest play-spillers in the game, but who are almost useless on the offense.

British and French interests have frequently clashed in Asia Minor, but the authority: of the sultan, there have been several nasty jars.. France’s claim to the Damascus “sphere of influence” enabled her to summarily eject Emir Feisul, the Aglophile‘Arab chiéftain, who was elected King of Syria. England didn’t like this, and it took her some time to pacify Feisul; but she regently found the. Arab po- tentate another kingdom in Mesopo- tamia. - The British diplomatic-view-is that France has no geographical or logical locus standi in Asia Minor, and that her presence there is-purely obstructive. Incidentally, while not beinig prepared to go to war “about such a subject, the average-Britisher reggrds Palestine, Syria Mesopotamia (or'Irak as it/is now called), Persia, ete., as paid for by British blood and held by British bayonets. France’s precipitate recognition of General Wrangel jarred the allied chancelleries, but the open and under- ! ground support by French diplomats of Poland’s aggressive designs on Soviet Russia, Lithuania, Germany, and other neighbors very nearly caus- ed serious complications. The frank- ly pro-Polish policy of France in the matter of Upper Silesia was most seri- ous, as British ‘and Italian military commanders found themselves com- pelled to regard the French plebiscite troops more as enemies than allies, in their efforts to Festore order in that troubled zome. 3 tation in crediting France with con- of Serbia’s aggressive attempts on Al- bania, although France has.no inter- ests in that part'of Europe beyond a diplomatic desire’to prevent Italy ex- tending her frontiers across the Adri- atic. Britain, officially, may not de- sire to see Italy make an Italian lake of the - Adriatic by obtaining too strong ‘a foothold in' Albania, but her statesmen fully realize that the pres- ence of Serbians on the Adriatic sea- board does not ‘help towards Euro- pean peace. - As the lesser of two evils Britdin would prefer to see Albania an Italian “sphere of influence” than part of the kingdom of Serbia, or Yugo-Slavia. . A ‘recent small source of irritation during the soreness caused, by the Franco-Kemalist treaty, was the pub- lication in the Paris press of the text of an alleged Anglo-Turkish agree- Had it been a new “canard,” the Brit- ish foreign office would have issued ‘the usual formal denial, but the al- leged trealy was quite an *‘old ac- quaintance,” having been published half a dozen times in various coun- tries, and each time officially and categorically denied and disproved, British statesmen have ltitle hesi-| nivance—if not'actual instigation— ment in 1919, aimed against France. . SIS0 o0 24,23 POKES - there being no such persons in the British diplomatic service as the peo- ple alleged to have concluded the agreement. e It is true that this “treaty” was| not published by the Quai d’Orsay, but Downing Street -is well aware that the French government exer- cises far more control over the Paris press, on foreign politics than is pos- sible in England or certain other countries. Hence the British foreign office pays a good deal of attention to‘ the “inspired” press of Paris, and regards most.attacks and suggestions as diplomatic -“kite-flying” by the Quai d’Orsay. “ThisFrench policy .of continual ‘pin-pricks’ and annoyances can only have unfortunate results. If we could see what France was aiming at, or detect justification for a Machia- vellian policy designed to produce fu- ture results, we should take these things in the ordinary ‘diplomatic’ way and discount—or counter—them accordingly. But we cannot see what France hopes to gain. A position of isolation in the midst of an irritated world cannot profit any country, es- pecially a country like France, which is still staggering under the war losses and burdens.” So concluded the United Press informant.
