Crisler, Ohicage BY LAWRENCE PERRY. selecting an all-American team—a purely theoretical proceeding based largely upon personal observation and in lesser part upon close reading of accounts of games not seen, coupled with hearsay testi- mony supplied by foot ball judges of the highest qualification—one must build his eleven purely upon the basis of individual merit, holding no thought of how the various men would fit into a team organization. We all know what sometimes happens to an actual team containing genuine stars when clements that make for morale and collective efficiency are Tacking. Then, too, the matter of proper coaching should be taken into . consideration if we were to name an all-American team that would take the field and play foot ball against the leading teams of the country. The All-American team named hrre-'nen, which was remarkable in a man with, therefore, should be considered’so large, and his strength and sci- ms precisely what it is, an honorary|entific knowledge made him inval- galaxy, and not a practical solidarity. And finally, in this All-America busi- mess the critic can never know how ymuch was done in “the muck of the line” to make of a man a star who imight not otherwise have stood out ‘so brilllantly. How many All-Ameri- cans have their Hardwick as Mahan “had, the Bill Fishers, as Red Barron had, and so on? Many Angles to Consider. But, of course, there are elements that must play an important part in such selections as are made. A man's defensive ability, as well as his prow- ess on. attack, must be considered. 3This applles to linemen as to back- .fleld candidates. Factors relating to mentality must be considered, as well as physical form, and we go wrong if we place upon an All-America first - team a man who has been handicapped in the season by injuries. An All-America eleven should be for- “mulated upon the basis of what a man bhas done consistently, not what he sycould have done. Thus had they not 4 been handicapped by injuries it would be impossible to keep Robertson of Dartmouth, Brick Muller of Califor- nia out of an end position, Lourie of Princeton out of a backfleld position and Keck of Princeton out of a tackle. But when their greatest use- fulness was demanded they were un- able to apply the fullness of their re- markable abllity. Merits of the Players. Parr throughout the season has been & whilrwind player, a driving engine of destruction in smashing interfer- ence and a pestilence to the opposing tackle when on attack and downfleld o was an accurately aimed thunder- 1t Geebel, at right end, played an ex- {traordinary game throughout the season. He had every phase of wing lay at his finger ends, and in speed, trength, skill and ‘accuracy may egarded as the best wing man in the ’unntry. He received forward passes ‘with the best and carried the ball Writh the swiftest and most elusive. i Huffman, at tackle, had everything &hat the occupant of this most sci- , entific and important position should | possess. He had brute strength com- * blned with shiftiness and offensive- defenseive intelligence. No tackle in the country was quite in his class this year, although we have to recog- mize the remarkable ability of Shaw, who piayed so constructive a part in Notre Dame’s scheme of line | offense. Shaw was a Derserker in i the line, as well as a ranger of in- i domitable mold. His play agsinst ‘'West Point and Rutgers was a reve- $lation to eastern critics, or should ’hl.ve been. Trott of Ohle State stands out in the guard position like a butte in a desert land. He was impregnable to assault and himself a real battering ram. An Inspiring Performer. Brown of Harvard was one of those men who inspire an entire line. His play was always marked by quick- ‘be | Hooper. Princeton; 3 uable. Wittmer of Princeten had unequal- ed skill in defensive diagnosis. With this he possessed deadly accuracy in tackling. His handling of the ball was beyond criticism, his knowledge of the principles of defensive and of- fensive foot ball unsurpassed. Devine of Iowa was a complete team in himself. He could do eve! thing with a ball'that & back ever did and as well, it not better. He droj kicked, punted, ran with the ball threw forward passes—everything. Meohardt of Notre Dame would ha: to be placed on the All-American team if only because of his throwing of the ball in overhead plays. More and more it is recognized how much the success of forward passing de- pends upon the thrower. But Mohardt, besides, had other qualities which made of him a threat of threats. McMillan's merits are too well known to require commendation. In the words of Dr. Johnson, it is “vain to pral and useless to blame” him. He lacks none of the equipment that &0 to make up a great back. Killinger plays at quarterback, but he is. above all, a back; half, fuli, No. 2 or 3—anything that a back is called. In addition to being a surpassing open-fleld runner he can hit the line like a Big Bertha shell, can receive forward passes and throw them and can punt. Other Leading Players. The season has produced fewer ends of high class than has been the case in years.

A similar message also was dis- patched to officials of Centre College at Danville, Ky. The telegrams_pointed out that call< ing off of the contest would mean a considerable financial loss, and would cause disappointment to many west- ern foot ball enthusiasts. E. B. Gould, chairman of the com- mittee, voiced the hope that the tan- gle would be strajghtened out. He said he and his associates had re- garded the game as finally arranged. Faculty Bans Contest. SOUTH BEND, Ind., December 10.— Following_a meeting last night of the Notre Dame faculty board in con- trol of athletics at the university all negotiations for a post-season foot ball game with Centre College 'at San Diego, December 26, were called off. No reason was announced. There was sald to have been a dis- agreement between Coach Rockne and board members at the meeting, but it is not known whether this had any- thing to do with the cancellation of the game.

By the Asssciated Press. EW YOKK, December 10.—Training schools for “sandlot” base ball N players, or the formation of a special circuit for the development of “future greats,” may soon be among the possibilities of base ball. They have been suggested to major league magnates as means oi solving the problem of escaping from the “frenzied finance” that has been coiling itself around the national game. The recent purchase of Heinie Groh, Jimmy O'Connell and other players at fancy prices is alarming the club owners, who, faced with a ting agreement with the minors, cannot see a solution in this This situation is certain to come up Ltor conmiderable. discassion &t the LANDIS AGAIN TARGET snnual meetings of the Xational and OF BILL IN CONGRESS [wweek, ana several avenues of relier are OLD PAL V'Lt TAE YOuU UP MYSELF AMO SHow You WHERE T 15 { Corvela, 191 M. T Wenm likely to be considered. While Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis |one or two clubs in each major league may be able to pay fabulous sums for minor league stars, the average big circuit combin.tion cannot follow suit. Their replacement material must be developed or purchased at reasonable figures. With this idea in mind, the mag- nates are secking to devise methods to meet the new conditions. John A Heydler, president of the National League, said: Sees Financial Disaster. “The major leagues cannot continue to pay exorbitant sums for minor league players, for, sooner or later. the very rivalry among the clubx will mean financial disaster to or- &anized base ball. “Under the agreement signed when Judge Landis was made high com- missioner, we cannot secure a change in the drafting conditions without the co-operation of the minors. Neither can we continue to pay thousands of dollars every time a new player i needed to strengthen a club. Either Wwe must develop our own material o: be able to purchase it at a reasonable price. “Assuming that the former course ix necessary it may mean the ment of a training camp or s young players of promise. not under contract to any minor league club or organization, or the formation of a new minor league, pri- marily for the development of replace- ment base ball material.

The various clubs could select ir nominees place them in such a camp for six or eight months 6f intensive training under the proper instructors. and at the close of the course players would be available who, in most cases, would be as far advanced in the science of professioral base ball as the average minor leaguer under the old drafting ‘would be deprived of the privilege of acting as high commissioner of base ball, and holdiag his judg- ship at the same time under am amendment offered in the House a pending bill for imcreasing the aumber of judges in the country.

December 10.— Rumors that Bill Killifer would not manage the Chicago Cubs next season and that William Veeck planned to re- sign as president of the club have been denied by Veeck in a statement fssued before his departure for New ork to attend a National League meeting. “Bill Killifer has signed his 1922 contract and will manage the Cub: said Veeck. “As for the reports that 1 planned to resign, I can only say that if I had paid $150,000 for Heinie Groh there might be some truth to the report, but since I didnm’t, it is absolutely untrue.” —_— A total of forty-twe two-year-old e credited with a mile in al Lady, 2:04%, nd Peter Volo, HARD GRID LISTS IN 1922 FOR D.

EW YORK, December 10.—The New York Giants, world champions, have two irons in the fire to fill the shoes of George Burns, the center fielder, who was let go to Cincinnati in the trade for Groh. Shinners, an outfielder for that club, will al- most surely be found with the Giants. It is a policy which Manager Mec- He has contended that a minor leaguer should have at least one year of experience on the bench before playing actively with him. : g Shinners is considered to be the best prospect in the American As- sociation in the outfield class. He can run fast, hits well from the left, is a good thrower and is said to be a faster ball player than Cunningham, who was obtained by the Giants last The other iron is Roush. If the latter is stubborn and refuses to sign a con- tract with Cincinnati except at a figure that the Cincinnati club will not pay jarry Herrmann may tell the Giants to sign him if they can, as he did once be- fore when Roush was balky.

The majors had heard of a rumored 37,600, but now that $10,000 is talked about, call attention to the fact that it was not so very long ago jthat some minor league teams never had more than $10,000 with which to start a season and some did not have With Larry Doyle manager of the Nashville team, it is proi le that some surplus players of the Giants will be sent to that city next year. New York has been dealing with some ‘western clubs, principally Indianap- olis, and that is one reason why the Giants got the inside track on Shin- ners, for there were other clubs ‘which desired his services. No player has been sent svay from New York in years for whom there is more local sentiment that for George Burns. He never played out- side the metropolis in his life, except with a minor league, and then in Utica, N. Y., and he is strictly a New York player.
