THE ‘BUCKET By John Bijelle ALL-AMERICAN PARADE All-American football players are made in the pressbox as well as on the football field. Any time you hear a boy men- tioned for All-America you can take it for granted that he is pretty good—or was when the ob- server saw him. But if you have it dinned into your cars regularly you can also bet that he has a volunteer press agent. No foothall plarer has enough money to hire his own bot the colleges in these days of com- mercialization ali have high-.. powered publicity siafis x * x MINNESOTA FOR EXAMPLE favor- | favor- | he gets | thi modern football times was in the case of Herb Joesting, a fine full- back but not necessarily a great one. Manders and Nagulski were other fullbacks who clearly earned their way. But the bally- hoo helped a lot, too, in getting them recognition. Others like Dick Smith, Pug Lund and Ed Widseth probably were as good as any if not actually the cream of.the crop. This year Andy Uram seems to be the favored Gopher luminary. * * * WATCH MR. BROCK But the sports writers at least see to it that their favorites get watched. Already this year, for example, ‘Tulane’s ballyhoo boys are all hopped up over one “Honest John” Andrews, Green Wave fullback. The word has gone out that he is of All-American Quality. Whether he makes it or nos, the announcement will insure him at- tention, Others, of course, get attention without advance publicity One such is young Mr. Charies Brock, center for the Universtiy of Nebraska, His name ocurred in Newspaper and radio reports of the Cornhusker-Gopher game with such frequency that from now on he will be a marked man. After last Satur- day only a serious accident can keep Mr. Brock from ranking at or near ‘the top. * * * SMALL SCHOOLS IGNORED All of which, of course, is rather hard on the brawny and agile young men who attend colleges ether than those in the inter- collegiate upper crust. Thou- sands cf able lads have played football in the North Central ‘Conference, for example, but none of them has ever made the All- American. None of them ever will, They don’t play with teams which attract enough attention and hence they get lost in the shuffle. But the professional footballers know better. Many an All-American has had his ears pinned back by a lad from some teachers college who never rated a big-time notice until he entered pro ranks, Ask any football coach if he wouldn't like to take the pick of the smaller schools and tackle the pick of the bigger ones on the gridiron. In most cases the ara would be “‘yes,” * MR. CLARK’S EXAMPLE Earl (Dutch) Clark of the De- troit Lions is an example. For a number of years Clark has been regarded as just about the slickest thing in pro football. But when he was picked by the As- , sociated Press as an All-American, { most of the big-time boys laughed themselves sick. Clark came from ‘Colorado College, as far removed from Big Time football society as a WPA worker is from New Yorks’ 400. But: Mr. Clark clearly had the goods. All the “experts” who didn’t pick him were sorry. The only trouble with the sys- tem is that there aren’t enough Clarks to spreadeagie their fields ‘so completely that they force pub- Mo attention without benefit of the publicity department, McClusky is Me y is losing no time in get- ting its candidates for the Golden ‘Gloves tournament here, Nov. 18 and 19, into condition ...

The simple, ungarnished truth is that the New York Giants, of Harlem, and the New York Yankees, of the Bronx, are meeting at 1:30 p. m. in the latter's handsome, commodious park in the first game of the World Series.
