SPORTS.’ Michigan Best in Years, PICKS FOUR WOLVERINES FOR ALL-BIG TEN TEAM Ohio State Foot Ball Director Limits Selections to Men He Saw in Action—Past Season Fine Example of Uncertainty of Game. BY J. W. WILCE, A Director of Foot Ball, Ohio State Utiversity. OLUMBUS, Ohio, November 25—Honor teams are at best opinions, but since picking them has become a national pastime, the writer adds his opinion. The selections made are of Western Confer- ence men whom I have seen in action and do not include men from teams which Ohio State did not play. _In the backfield. Harold Grange is one of the greatest side-s'iding, ivoting, cutting, specding, running backs in all foot ball history. Marty Karow, selected for the opposite half, is_a real defensive and offensive running back. The need of using his 170 pounds at fullback cramped his running and passing style. Earl Britton is a 200-pound fullback, a heavy “siege gun” 50-yard place kicker, a lone high punter, Grange's in- terferer. For quarterback, Friedman is named. He is a real field gen- eral and a truly great forward passer At the ends are Oosterbaan, a de-| fensive ace and a pass-catcher de luxe, | BES and Romey, an allaround fast, block- | tackling, pass-catching player. Henderson at tackle is a hard charger | &nd penetrator and on defense is fast and aggressive. Hawkins at the other tackle is a strong, knifing, fighting lneman. Hess of Ohlo State is an aggres- sive, speedy, rugged, knifing guard and Shively of Iilinos a fighting, pene- trating guard. Bob Brown of Michi- . at center, has the height of in-| telligence in diagnosis and shows spar- kling leadership. Honor List Men. Honor list men of the conference Include another aggregation of ster- Iing foot ball players.

At center, Lowry of North- western, highly spoken of in North- western's_successful season. In the backfield is Harmon of Wis- consin, a triple-threat back, part of Wisconsin's _come-from-behind rallles. Joesting of Minnesota is a true power driver. Marks of Indlana is a sturdy, fast back of all-around ability. McCar- tv of Chicago 1s a hole-picking, speedy, powerful runner. Michigan emerges from the season supreme with one of the very finest, most finished Michigan teams of all times. Its forward-passing game has been truly superlative. Many belleve that the tall, big, fast, strong line has en the outstanding feature of its 1925 team. A Michigan-Dartmouth game would bo'a wonderful exibitation, particular- ly in view of the success each has with the spectacular, comparatively long forward pass. A passing con- test between Oberlander and Fried- man would be a classic. To me, Wisconsin's wonderful comeback against Minnesota and Chicago and Michigan’s Navy game have been the real outstanding fea- tures of this season. A season such as the last is an {l- T BIG TEN GRIDDERS SEEN BY COACH WILCE The Star today presents the third of its series of dispatches from widely known coaches selecting their all-sectional foot ball teams. Dr. J. W. Wilce, famous director of foot ball at Ohio State Uni- versity, chose the following as the best combination of players in the Woestern Conference so far as he has seen them in actio Halfbacks. Grange of Illinois. Karow of Ohio State. Fullback. Britton of Illinois. Quarterbacl. Friedman of Michigan. Ends. Oosterbaan of Michigan. Romey of Iowa. Tackles. Henderson of Chicago. Hawkins of Michigan. Guards. Shiveley of Illinois. Hess of Ohio State. Center. Brown of Michigan. ing, lustration of the uncertainty of foot ball as it is organized today. The most prominent sport authorities re- peatedly express wonder that the foot ball schedules like those of many leading institutions are even attemp- |ted. It is a fact that a team which plays a tremendously heavy schedule in October will seldom be « fine team in November, in the absence of al- | most unlimited material. Foot ball is a wonderful played by college boys who legiti- mately attend college and meet scholastic requirments completely. Such organizations cannot rightly be held in the same light by the great American public as teams whose en- tire time is devoted to the sport which they are playing. Thinking Amerl- cans will lend their aid in maintain- ing ideals in college sport which will continue to develop finest qualities in the American boy, our greatest national resource.

Sam White of Princeton won both the Harvard and Yale games for the Tigers in one season by his skill in doing this stunt. . The way a player picks up a fumble is shown in the upper {llus- tration.

Scoop it up with the rear hand. Then you will be sure to get hold of it. It takes a lot of practice to perfect one's | self in doing this. CALZA BEATS BROWNING | IN TWO-FALL MAT BOUT ST.

RAY KENNEDY LEADS PALACE CLUB QUINT Ray Kennedy, husky guard of the Palace Club, Washington's entry in the race for the American basket ball league championship, has been named captain of the local quint and will assume the role of court director Sunday night when the team opposes the Original Celtics at the Arcade. Backed by six years of professional basket ball, Kennedy {is considered well fitted to direct the efforts of a big league team. ¢ ‘The battle with the world cham- plons will be a big test for the Palace tossers. That they are traveling at a fast clip was proved last Sunday when they nosed out the Brooklyn team on the home court after ad- ministering the same dose on the Dodgers’ floor the week previous. Last year, when the Washington team had been operating less than a month the Celtics were met and triumphed over the Palace basketers by the small margin of one point. Herman Baetzell of Philadelphia, one of the ranking basket ball offi- clals of the East, has been selected to referee the Sunday clash. The game will start promptly at 8:30, fol- lowing a tilt between the Yankees and the Hyattsville Guards, beginning at 7:15. THREE COURT GAMES CARDED FOR TONIGHT Basket ball games are listed for tonight at the Arcade, Eastern High gymnasium and Walter Reed Hospi- tal Y. M. C. A. floor.
