It is admitted that there are a dozen well qualified critics who will supply lists. But none will have be- hind him the tradition and more recognized authority of the Camp selections. The Chic: Herald and Examiner today makes two suggestions edi- torfally. One is that the all-Amerl- cans now out of college vote in a new group each vear.

PLAYING DEFENSIVE GUARD. 00 N4 > NOT THIS | Many teams on offense double-team | an opposing guard on plays inside | tackle. One common method for a complishing this is for the opponent on the side of the guard toward the center to drive into him low and fro: that side, hooking the guard’s le with one of his own and throwing his arm nearest the guard in back of the guard. The other opponent then es into this guard from the other and somewhat higher. | When their object omnlished | the defensive guard is taken out very | much as pictured in the lower illus- | tration. If two players can get to a | rd to execute this plan for taking | t of the course of the play they fail to tumble him back and r away from the course of the nner. When a guard is expecting to be double-teamed in_ this way he should arge straight ahead and use straight arms on the heads or shoulders of the opposing linemen.

Grange has never done anything that would give a base ball scout any | reason to believe that he would make a crack man on the diamond, vet there are managers who are willing to ake a chance for a season to see if they can bring anything out of an athlete who has received such won- derful publicity The same situation prevailed when | the Giants were induced to sign on Jim Thorpe when the Indian was about to quit Carlisle. Half a dozen clubs set out for Jim when it was noised about he was willing to go into professional base ball. They knew nothing about his ability, but were him in. The Giants got the jump on Thorpe, and signed him on at a very liberal | Agure, with quite a splurge of spec- | tators around when the papers were xed up. It was quickly seen that Jim could bat the ball over the fence when he met it, that he was a prom- ising outfielder and that he could circle the bases at a mile a minute. Thorpe easily paid his first two years' salary in drawing power as a sort of sideshow and, had he de- cided to devote all his energles to base ball instead of golng out for ath- letics in general, he would have been one of the brightest stars in the ma- i jor league firmament. |” Some managers look upon Red Grange exactly the same way. Professional foot ball also has made a bid for Red's services after he leaves Urbana, and it>is said he can draw down a record sum if he will join the pay-as-you-go crowd on the gridiron. As a base ball prospect, Grange would not receive more than $5,000 a year at the start, it is sald, although a large bonus almost surely would be given him for signing a con‘ract. = DRSS T Lillian Harrison, the youthful Ar- gentine swimmer, will again try to swim the English Channel in 1927.
