BACKFIELD STARS ARE EASY T0 PICK Peake of V. P. |., Barnes of V. M. 1., Snyder of Mary- land Stand Out. » ~ elevens, means little, there seems to be an insistent de- mand by the public for such endeavors on the part of those whose duty it is to follow the gridiron and write stories about it. . Witness the numerous letters that have come to the writer's desk in the last week asking for an all-South At- lantic eleven, and, going further than that, suggesting names of players con- sidered worthy for membership on such & mythical combination. As a matter of fact this is an easy year to make selec- tions for an all-star team in this sec- tion, as with two or three exceptions certain players stood out so far in their positions that no doubt practically everybody would concur in naming them. BY H. C. BYRD. HILE in one sense all-star foot ball teams, or rather the selection of all-star Three Great Backs. ‘Take the backfield, for instance. No man familiar with foot ball would doubt for one second that Peake of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Barnes of Vir- ginia Military Institute and Snyder of | Maryland should be the men chosen for three of these places. With the exception of Cagle of Army, Peake was the best all-around back the writer saw all season. He could do everything a good back should do, and his ability to punt and run with the “ball was exceeded by few anywhere. No team ever stopped Peake from the be- ginning of the season until the end. Maryland came closest to it, perhaps, stopping him very ‘effectively in plays from scrimmage, but could not prevent him running back punts for 15 or 20 yards. Barnes also was a brilliant all- around back, and for straight ground gaining from scfimage formationis Sny- der was the peer of all others. ‘Who the fourth man would be is a matter possibly of taking a chance on picking the best: of three or four good men. Peake played quarterback for V. P. I and could fill that position but he would be far better as a running halfback with somebody else to call signals. Also neither of these three men throws passes as well as he might. Erickson of North Carolina, Sloan of Virginia, and Kessler of Maryland were | very nearly on a par in directing their teams, and there was little difference | in them in all-around ability. However, in all probability the best man playing quarterback in this sec- tion was Dupl of Georgetown. He had more experience and greater as- sets in all those things that go to make u&e: quarterback than either of the of three. Other Clever Men. These were not all the other good backs, not by a jugful. Western Mary- land College had one in Neal, who in many e was the superior of any one of the four mentioned, and George- .town had Bozek, Hudack and Dwyer. Schmidt of Catholic University was good, as was Faulconer of Vir- @ and White of Washington and . North Carolina had half a dozen excellent backs, the best of whom was Magner. g And Virginia Military Institute’ had & quarterback who never got as much he really deserved because he was playing in the same backfield with Barnes, but Hawkins was a mighty good foot ball player and knew how to get the most out of his team. . One or two places in the line would be easy to pick, but center probably is the most difficult place for which to find a man, ~ot because there was no material for in> position but be- cause there was co much. Schwartz of North Carolina was a brilliant in- dividual performer at the pivot posi- tion, while Taylor of Virginia was not only a great player but also a real leader. It was he who by showing the qual- ities of sheer leadership kept the Vir- eleven from routs once or twice s 3 s, it faced great odds, yet performed well. / Yet in the opinion of the writer, neither of these players was as good as Charley Havens, who played the posi- tion for Western Mas d College. If there was anything that a good center should do, Havens did it, and he had all the qualities of the others and more “ besides, especially in coming out of a line, because he started his career on the gridiron as a halfback. Mooney Best Tackle. No tackle in the whole section com- 1o Mooney of Georgetown. The and Gray linesman was head and shoulders above all others and deserves first call for any all-star eleven without question. The other tackle probably would have gone to Luke of Virginia had he not been out of the game so much because of injuries. With Luke out of consideration, the next best man in the position was Hawkins of Wash- ington and Lee. He was one of the hardest men in the section to move and stood about 6 feet 3 and weighed well over 200 pounds; consequently was rugged enough to stand any kind of a game. ~ Just as Mooney was head and shoul- ders over all other tackles, so was +Vaughan of North Carolina State the best of the guards. The writer did not see Vaughan play, as his was the only South Atlantic squad that the writer did not see some time during the sea- son, but if he is half as good as people who did watch him say, then he is head and shoulders above everybody. ‘The other guard should go to Car- yoll of Georgetown, although Crothers of Maryland would give him a hard battle to hold his job if both were on | the same squad. There were not many | other high-class guards in the section,; and besides the three mentioned, it is likely that Farrell of North Carolina | and Day of Virginia topped the list. G. U. Ends Are Best. Georgetown had the two best ends. Provincial and Tomaini were better men | than played these positions on any other elevens. Flippin of Virginia probably was as good as either when he was at his best, but he was out so much be- cause of injuries that the Georgetown men are given the preference. Dodson of Maryland should be given the next place in the list with Heagy of Maryland and Turner of Virginia coming close and Dodson’s ability to catch passes and run with them after making the catches gives him something ©of a margin over the others. Now, after all the stars are named, a good coach could take his pick.of the other men on the several teams in the CoAcH LyNN NOODWORTH= EAGLES TO MAKE THEIR BOW TODAY Oppose Strong War College Five—Games Are Sought by Many Quints.

C., DECEMBER 16, 19282SPORTS SE('T}E) Array of Clever Gridmen in This Section : School Basketers Face Busy Week | FRED FINLEY- BY CORINNE FRAZIER. OLTON ARMS BLUES have es- tablished themselves well in the lead for the athletic trophy, symbol of the Blue and White championship, as a result of Fall activities, which culminated in the semi-annual athletic week end program held Friday and yesterday, which netted the Blues 25 points to the Whites’ 3. Blues already had scored 37 tallies and their opponets 11, prior to the week end contests, so_the total today stands at 62 to 14. It is the first time in four years that the Blues have been so far in the lead and should they win the trophy as they have an excellent chance of doing, it will mark their first victory in that period. Blues won the first and second team basket ball games, the former played last night and the latter Friday after- noon. Whites won the demonstration drill, which gave them only 3 points in- stead of 15 as it is not the official com~ petitive drill for the year. That will be held during the Spring week end after the girls have had more time to practice. Lieut. Charles B. King, United States Army, was the drill master and Lieut. Joseph K. Bush, United States Army, acted as judge. The Whites won by 1 point, 11 to 10. The drillers were put through various squad maneuvers and judged on precision of movement and manner of handling arms. Fol- lowing the drill, which was held last night in the gymnasium on Church street; the girls entertained at an in- formal dance. Blue and White first teams provided lenty of excitement for the large gal- ry of rooters last night in their game which was won by the former, 24 t0 20. Blues rushed their opponents off their Teet in the opening half, establishing an 18-to-6 Jead, but the latter rallied to -narrow the gap in the third period and continued their fast play in.a final desperate effort to tie the count during the dying moments of the game which brought them within two baskets of the winners. The work of Elizabeth Breck- enridge and Katherine Brown in feed- ing the ball from center field to their forwards stood out as the high spots of the Whites' courageous rally. As for the Blues, there was no weak spot in their play. For an early-season ex- hibition, their teamwork was excep- tionally noteworthy. 2 In the second team game the Blues had an easier time, winning by a 30-to- 12 count. The second quarter which saw the Blue forwards, Margene Mus- ser and Marian Wells, on a scoring rampage, was the high light of the contest. Seven girls were initiated into H. A. A., the Holton Arms Athletic Associa- tion, at a banquet which followed the final game last night. Their admis- gym. | sion into this honored “inner circle” means not only that they have proved |thelr outstanding skill in athletics but that they have met the requirements of sportsmanship and attendance as FEAR OF FLU CANCELS PITT’S BASKET GAMES PITTSBURGH, December 15 (#)— Basket ball games scheduled by the University of Pittsburgh on its home court with Dartmouth December 22 and Towa December 29, were canceled today as a precaution against spread of influenza, according to announce- ment by W.

Coach Craig Wilton has all of his regulars ready for action today against the Marylanders who boast a string of former college stars who have demonstrated that they are still capable of handling themselves on a gridiron. Northerns, after’ several weeks of idleness, will face a well coached eleven composed of former high school and college players under the direction of Dinty Hughes at Union League Park at 2:30 o'clock. Many former schoolboy veammates will be opposing each other in today’s contest. Matt Heard has brought his Red Bird warriors out of retire- meni to meet the picked eleven, but has been busy the past week getting his machine in working order. St. Mary's Celtics and Virginia A.

NEW YORK, December 15—Ray Barbuti, Olympic 400-meter chnmpion.i and James Ball of Canada, who finished only six inches behind him in second place, have been invited to race in the “Columbus 500,” feature event of the K. of C. games which open the indoor track season January 5 at the 106th Infantry Armory in Brooklyn. If the invitations are accepted, the crack field of quarter-milers in the 500-yard chase for the Gov. Alfred E. Smith Trophy also will include Frank Cuhel, former University of Towa track captain, who was runner-up to Lord Davis Burghley of England in the Olympic 400-meter hurdle champion- ship. p With Barbut! and Ball heading the field, the race should prove & “natural,” as their only previous meeting produced one of the most hair-raising finishes in history. Barbuti has been training steadily since the Olympics. Graduated from Syracuse University in June, he I.M%w an insurance salesman here. Lloyd Hahn, whose retirement was reported on his return from the Olym- pics, has been invited to run in the special half-mile event, which he won last year, and sponsors of the meet hold some hope that he may return for another indoor whirl. Other half-mile stars invited are Phil Edwards, Ray Conger and Bernard McCafferty. For a special sprint series the com- mittee has bidden Karl Wildermuth, winner last gear, and a flock of other stars, inclug Jimmy Quinn, Bob Mc- Allister, Frank Hussey, Hank Russell and Chet Bowman, while Leo Lermond.

In discussing the choices, Wranck says: “Peake, Barnest and Snyder are the aces of the aggregation and if one coach could have all three of them in a backfield he doubtless would sell up with pride and burst. “In selecting a team that might be put on the fleld as representative of the best in the States of Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina these men appear as outstanding—they are almost un- challenged for their places in the back- fleld. Triple-Threat Men. “Sloan and Barnes and Peake are all natural triple-threat men who are fleet of foot, accurate in passing, and steady in punting, they would maintain a con- stant threat and with Snyder in the combination to buck through. the line they would keep any defensive eleven worried. “At Virginia Sloan was often referred to as ‘our one-man backfleld’ After Close was hurt he had to carry on the attack almost single handed, carxin.; the ball more often than all the others and doing practically all of the passing. “Hawkins of the Cadets is named as quarter on the second team, but Kessler of Maryland was my first thought for this place, and it may be that he really deserves it.
