Dalrymple Second In Votes The results of the Associated Press balloting in the seventh an- nual consensus since Walter Camp’s death indicate striking sup- port for several of the choices. Schwartz was voted the year’s out- standing back, with 225 votes out of a possible 270. Dalrymple was not far behind in total votes, with 225, and Munn, with 201, rated as the outstanding lineman. Rentner, with 211 votes, and Wood, with 218, also were over- whelming favorites. Leadership of the mid-west was maintained in the selection of sec- ond and third All-America teams. Of the total of 33 players placed, 14 go to the mid-west, eight to the east, five to the south, five to the far west and one to the southwest. Last year the mid-west led with 11, while the far west gained nine places, the east eight, the south four and southwest one. Pinckert By A Nose The principal contests in the 1931 balloting involved the fourth backfield position and the second tackl job. Pinckert, the only re- peater besides Schwartz, needed strong closing support to stiff-arm cuch fine rivals as Gene McEver of Tennessece, Don Zimmerman of Tulane and Bart Viviano of Cor- nell for the post of honor with Wood, Schwartz and Rentner. Not far behind these performers, in the roundup of ballots, were Bill Morton of Dartmouth, the second team choice for quarterback; Carl Cramer, Ohio State’s flashy sopho- more; Orville Mohler of Southern California, Weldon (Speedy) Mason of Southern Methodist and Albie Booth of Yale. All of these stars placed on the All-America squad. — - FLORENCE KEEPS DIM LIGHT , compiled by the FLORENCE, Italy — The City Council has voted to replace the old street gas lights with electric- ity but will install weak bulbs in order to preserve the dim light that for so long has been a part of the city’s atmosphere. — e TEACH FRENCH TO TRAVEL PARIS—Holding that a visit tc the United States is a serious busi- ness, the Institute of American Studies here has opened a special lecture course designed to instruct French students in American ways and backgrounds.

QUARTERBACK.| Just to pass the time away or, perhaps, really to find out what the Parisian newspaper “L’Auto” conducted a contest among its readers with the result that the most noteworthy athletic record- breaking achievement of recen® vears was declared to be Paayc Nurmi's feat of covering nearly 12 miles on one hour’s foot-racing at Berlin in 1928. The field was wide open but not even patriotic impulses prompted setter than a second place for Jules Ladoumegue, the Frechman who recently startled the track world oy racing a mile in 4 minutes, 3 1-5 seconds. So far as speed is concerned, Flight Lieutenant Stainforth's vorld air speed record of 4075 miles per hour, in a British sea- dlane, was ranked no better than zight in the list of ten, thereby ausing Old John Bull's sporting 2xperts to lift a surprised eyebrow. Here's L'Auto’s list, as decided 9y the popular vote: 1. Nurmi’s hour running record ) of 19 kilometers 210 meters. 2. Ladoumegue’s mile record of the French sports fan thinks about | 4 minutes 9 1-5 seconds. 3. Oscar Egg’s hour cycling rec- ord of 44 kilometers 247 meters. 4. Jarvelin's decathlon record. 5. Rigt s two-handed weight- lift of 18 kilograms. 6. S. Cator's long jump of 26 feet 0 1-8 inches. 7. Roland Locke’s 200-meter run of 20 3-5 seconds. 8. Flight Lieutenant Stanforth’s air speed record of 407% M.P.H. 9. Harold Osborn’s high jump of 6 feet 8 1-4 inches. 10. Johnny Weissmuller's meter swim in 57 2-5 esconds. 100- Locke Even Better Three American names, Osborn and Weissmuller, noted. Locke, incidentally ran 220 yards, or slightly more than 200 meters, actually in 20.5 seconds for a world’s record. The University of Nebraska's flier was never cred- ited with this figure, however, be- cause the LAAF. at the time did Locke, will be not recognize tenth-second watches as legal and proper. However, it did the next best thing by an amusing bit of parlia- | mentary juggling at Amsterdam in 1928. The federation added a |tenth of a second to the time, | making it 206 seconds or 20 3-, |and placed it on the books as a | world’s record. | cator's broad jump record, it may also be noted, has been sur- passed by a Japanese, Nambu, who cleared 26 feet 2 1-8 irches at Tokyo recently. British Oppese U. S. Ball Great Britain ,from what my London scouts report, does not like the balloon golf ball, whether it is heavier or not, and the Royal and Ancient authorities of St. Andrews have no idea whatever of changing the size or weight of tne ball to ards. Most British golfers, but particu- larly the professionals who had ball in Ohio last summer, believe that the great Yankee experiment is a “bust.” As proof, they point to the fact that the United States Golf association felt obliged to yield to a storm of criticism by ad- ding more weight to the ball. 1f they didn’t know it before the New York Giants now can point conform to new Americen stand-|{ lsad experiences with the balloon | NO FOOTBALL FOR LOYOLA NEXT SEASON CHICAGO, Iil., Dee. 1.9—Suspen- sion of intercollegiate football by Loyola University will be continued for another year, it is anounced by Father Robert M. Kelly, 8. J., president of the college. The an- nouncement followed a canvass of the factulty, whose members voted to keep football off next year's athletic program because of the success of the plan this year. Loyola is the first and only ma- jor college in the country to try the experiment of suspending inter- collegiate football. A vey of the results thus far visible, according to Father Kelley. has shown a growth of intramural sp: giving wider percentags of students the benefits of athletic participation, a tendency to im- prove the general scholastic stand- inzg and abolition of a financial strain on the student treasury. to at least one good, substantial reason for acquiring Sam Gibson, right-handed pitching star of the San Francisco Seals, for 1932 de- ibson, according to the official averages, just published for the Pacific Coast league, led all the sharpshocters with an earned run allowance of only 248 runs per nine inning game. Gibson won 28 games and lost 12 for a percentage of .700. This was not quite as good as the winning record of Frank Shel- lenback, Hollywood spitball artist, who contributed 27 victories as igainst only 7 defeats, but Shellen- backs’ earned run figure was 2.85, placing him second among the regulars. Gibson also lead the league in strikeouts, with 204, his nearest rival in this respect being Win Bal- lou of Los Angeles with 160. He pitched 31 complete games, indi- cating his arm has fully recovered from the ailment that cut short his major league career, and is- sued only 59 passes. Hack Plenty Hot An official tells a story that cen- ters about Aibie Booth of Yale and Ben Ticknor of Harvard. It cceurred in the game at New Haven last year. Ticknor tackled Booth along the sidelines, whereupon Albie re- marked: “You can let me up now, every- bedy in the stands knows you made the tackle.” Ticknor's retort to this was to spin Albie upside down with a brisk jolt. The referee came run- ning up at the moment and said: “That will cost you 15 yards, Captain Ticknor.” “O. K. It was worth it,” Big Ben replied. Dobie Not Gloomy “Sports editors have a lot to answer for in the way of creating myths,” writes L. C. Hodgson, page | oné columnist of the St. Paul Dis- pateh. “I always laugh when I see the headlines about ‘Gloomy Gil' Doble. * Having been born in the same town with him, having eaten with him, slept with him, stolen watermelons with him and known him. like a brother, I am amused when' they tell he is gloomy. He has the somewhat reluctant optim- ism of a true Scot, but his heart is the laughingest instrument I ever met up with and he couud not be pessimistic if he tried to.” Maybe that was before Gil was obliged to play his students on the football teams at Cornell university where his pessimism blossomed in- to. flower. oTARS TAKINe || Alaska Electric Light and STARS TAKING Power Co.

Miss Gaynor's bother was that she can't speak French and she does want to get about so many places in Paris. Then there are so many things she must buy, too. “A rather needless worry,” beamed Mr. Peck,“since the key to the city wil take her any place and they're promised to give that to her.” Incidently, it begins to look as| if it's fashionable for Hollywood stars to take their husbands with them when they travel. The Fairbanks ars. and jrs. came east together, t0o. Then there was Nancy Carroll with her new spouse. Helen Twelvetrees was escorted by Frank Woody, her husband, on | that beat trip from the west coast through the canal. To hear them rave about it makes you want to urn stowaway. The tair Helen was guest of hon- or at a luncheon aboard the ship when it docked. It was snowing that day. A very pleasing eaperience 1t is! to lounge in seagoing luxury and | gaze through the portholes at the white flakes falling on the water. Right then the wistful actress de- ~ided she must have such a setting for some high emoting in one of her coming plctures. — e KHAKI AT BUCKINGHAM LONDON — King George, not wanting his young officers to spend their small salaries on fancy court clothes, has told the army that khaki service uniforms will be quite all right at levees and investitures.
