By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1924, One thing that may be said for the players selected by the writer for his All-America team of 1924 is that they maintained their form consistently throughout the season. They were great when the season began and equally great . : Ss. \ —if not greater—when the season ended. - ¢ SAR: a Me : ; nai G i There never was a year so: filled with upsets and sur- : i : ; | And under prises of various sorts. such conditions it is not surprising that players have shown fluctua tions. It was these variations in form, indeed, that*contr buted very largely to overturns that occurred with frequency so startling through out tho season. Perhaps there are players who in single games rose to greater heights than some of those named in the writer'ssAll-America team. But if so it was a flash, a rocket soaring sky- ward and then falling to earth very, quickly. It hasbeen the writer's aim to. se- lect players whom he saw in action and in the teams named he has been able, for the most part, to carry out this ‘dee. In the few cases where players were not seen the writer selected them on the basis of abundant information re ceived frém men for whose judg- ment no one could have aulght but the highest respect.

Probst, Alabama Quarterback Parkin, Iowa Halfbacks Layden, Notre Dame Schutte, Fullback Thomas, Chicago Great Ends. Luman of Yale, was a great end and in the light of Big Three tradi- tion of offensive and defensive wing play. That is saying a great deal. Swift down the field, a deadly tack- ler, a very engine of destruction on interference and sure in covering forward passes, he has everything an end should. have’ Wakefield of Vanderbilt, may be credited with everything said of Lu- man and, In addition, he was an un- erring dropk cker, a punter, a for- ward passer and everything else. So great was his versatility that in em- ergency he was played in a variety of positions, ~ Otte, of Iowa, was a great end in everything that pertains to his pos!- tion but revealed defensive flaws in one or two games. Hubard of Cen- tenary, 250 pounds, six feet, two and Minnesota able to run the hundred under 11 seconds lacked only :the opportun: Ity of show ng against a major op ponent to get the highest possible rating. Other great ends were Romey of Iowa, and Collins of Notre Dame Barnes, of Chicago, was good and so was Hanson of Syracuse. Lemon of Centre was a corker and so was, Muhl of Illinois. Rokusek of Illin- ois, was another cracker jack. Dil- weg .of Marquette, Keenan of Cor- nell, Henderson of Cornell and Drews of Princeton were extremely good, above the average. Gowdy and Joss Outstanding. Gowdy, of Chicago was not only deeply versed in all the phases of ackle play, an outstanding man in the strongest line in the conference, but in. emergency: he could be draft: ed to play other I’ne positions, Joss, Yale was not only a finished player In all the require- ments of his tackle position, but a very dangerous man when it came to receiving a forward pass. Strong, fast, versatile, th was no bet ter tack’e in.the country than-he. We'r of Nebraska and Edwards of Michigan gvon the respect of every opponent they faced and might take places on any. ¢laeven, Other able tackles were Hall, I. Reuthel of Colgate, Hayman, lnois Virgtr attic and Cox Two Veteran Guards. Of the two All America guards, Pondelik, of Chicago was a veteran t. he and untiring. Han- Princton, . Iowa Minnesota He ts one « the fine guards of all time. Another veteran, Slaughter { Mich'gan, left nothing to be de sired on any f of play? His technical kr edee, the power and ferocity of his charg'ng were al. ways felt, not by one man, but by the ent/re side of an opposing line. ‘There were not too many splen vid guards, Parsons of Northweat- ern was almost in the class of the two named for All America. How- Che Casver Smthay Cribune i Taree: LARGER FIELD FOR GOLE PLAY ~ {NE PROSPELT Championship Contesis Too Limited, Say Leaders. werent. tee “ute rmanamreee es A by The Tribune) By RAY McCARTHY, NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—If the re- commendations of the Professional Golfers’ association made .to.the U. Golf assoc’ation executive com- mittee recently in regard to the na- tional open championship are ac- cepted, the qualifying field next year will be considerably larger than heretofore. Those in-charge of the professionals’ association feel that under present conditions the championship field is too Imited. They claim—and many of the star players are of the same opinion— that a premium is placed on the qualifying ‘rounds and that it ts harder, to qualify for a national event than it is to win the title it- ard, of Princton was also excellent and so were Steel of Michigan, Bieb- erstéin of Wisconsin, Pograss~of Ch'eago, Joselove of Georgia, God- win of Georgia Tech and Farwick of Army. Best Center of All Time Adam Walsh, the writer regards as the be center who ever stood on the gridiron. A heady man. he was deadly in defending against forward passes and in t le Di a flawlessly and was all over the field. Probst, of Alabama, wags another center of the same sort, a gigantic man, who ranged with the speed of an end. Horrell of ‘California,. will be backed by many. The writer dd not see Horrell, but he cannot be better than Adam Walsh or Probst. Garbisch, Army; Lévejoy, Yale Lawrence, Auburn; Brown, ‘ Mich- igan and Kubale, Centre were other high class pivot men. .» Stuhldreber Greatest Tactician. For quarterback, Stubldrehe: Profess‘onal Golfers’ execu- tive committee suggests an increase in the number of thos qualifying for the tournament proper. They also suggest three days for the cham- pionship, with the players compet- ing in three sections for the title. Pt is certain there will be plenty of discussion along ‘these lines in the annual meet'ng of, the U. 8..G.-A. at the Astor hotel on, January 10. Just what action will.be taken will not be known until the matter is thresh- ed out at that time. There is much to be sa'd in favor of. some such change. ‘The field pf good golfers in this country is in. creasing. very rapidly,as is evidenc- ed by the scores in the various tour. naments the past ewmmer. ability’to diagnose a-rival defense, his own ability ‘to run and pass were marvelous. and he {is approached only by Parkin, who, in fact, equals the Notre Dame star in every re- spect But’ in uncanny” intelligence. Dooley of Dartmouth, comes right after this pair. So does Covington of Centre, who would have won the position in any ordinary year. Then there was Hall of Mlinois, And qual'fy.

Yale & Vanderbilt n sot ’ Grange of Tlinois, ‘s not only the greatest back of the year but in every respect the greatest halfback the writer has ever seen. His fame and exploits shave been too widely sung to need further words A Scoring Fullback. Wycotf of Georgia Tech, a 190 pound six footer, is. a scoring full back, a man who is elusive in the open and -deadly when he crashes into the line; a punter who drives far and places his kicks; a throwe of the ball on forward passes » a catcher of overhead heaves. Thomas, of Ch'cago, is another of the same type, but less versatile. A great fullback, however. Many Good Backs. The season saw more good backs than have appeared {n many a day Oberlander of Dartmouth was a peach. Layden of Notre Dame, was of All America calibre.
