SPOR TS Midwest Ranks High in Associated Press All-America Foot Ball Consensus SECTION PUTS FIVE ONALLSTAR TEAM Notre Dame, Pitt Each Get Two Places on Mythical Grid Combination. BY ALAN. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editar. 8 a tribute to the fertile foot ball plains that- produced such con- sistently brilliant_teams as Notre Dame and Purdue, the Middle West takes the lion's ghare of honors in the fifth annual all- America consensus, compiled by the Associated Press from expert Nation- “wide opinion and made public today. On the first team, the “shock troops™” of an all-America squad of 33 players, 5 represent the Middle West, 4 the East, 1 each the South and Pacific Coast. Pittsburgh and Notre Dame, two of the finest aggregations. of the year, each gained two places on the mythical eleven, a distinction no team in the country has been accorded in the con- sensus since Dartmouth _placed three men on the first team of 1925. East Manifests Strength. The East manifested strength in the squad as a whole by collecting 12 out of the 33 places, with 9 going to the Middle West, 6 to the South,.5 to the Far West and .1 to the Southwest. In the Nation-wide poll of opinion taken by the Associated Press 215 ex- perts contributed their views. They Tepresented newspaper - sports _editors and writers, Associated Press staff ob- servers, officials and coaches in every section of the: country. There was not an: important game anywhere, scarcely 8 spectacular feat recorded in any note- worthy college contest, which was, not “covered” or studied by.some one -or more of these experts. The results of the consensus show = distinct drift in the “class” of foot ball talent, for the season of 1920 .at least, to the Middle West, in contrast with' the powerful showing of the Far West in 1928. Middle West Year. On the whole, it was distinctly a “Midwestern year,” with such teams as Purdue and Notre Dame leading the parade most of the way, while Michi- gan, Wiscon..us, Illinois and . Minnesota registered noteworthy intersectional triumphs to add to the prestige of the Big Ten group, Star players of one of the most spec- tacular of all college campaigns stood out_as conspicuously as did the select few teams. process is safe from debate of the grog- giest variety; nevertheless, the consen- sus indicated little doubt about.the ma- jority of contenders for -honor posi- tions. ‘Three of the players on the team were overwhelming choices—Frank Carideo, Notre Dame's great - quarterback: Bronko Nagurski, the powerhouse of ‘Minnesota’s team, and Joe Donchess, lean, hard-hitting end of the Pitts- burgh Panthers. Toby Uansa of Pitts- burgh- was by far the leading halfback in the balloting. Gets Honorable Mention. In addition to those on_ the three se- Ject -teams, nearly 150 players of col- Jeges about the country are given hon- orable mention in the Associated Press consideration of foot ball talent. layers of the Washington area Jatter gfoup. They are Capt. Ken Provencial, , guard, of George- town, and Bill Evans, quarterback, of Maryland. . Evans is a Washington high school product. . HYATTSVILLE FIVE SCORES FIRST WIN ‘HYATTSVILLE, Md, December 7.— Hyattsville High School's basket ball team won its first game of the season over Charlotte Hall Military Academy, 22 to 16, in the National Guard Armory here yesterday afternoon.

Hyattsville previously had_ lost 10 Business High and the Western High of ‘Washington, Hyattsville came from behind to win, Charlotte Hall holding a 10-6 lead at the half. Just before the end of the third qQuarter Marvin Lewis scored & floor goal for Hyattsville to put the home team ahead, 13 to 12. Thereafter ‘Hyattsville was in front.

Price’s Five Score From All Angles BY SOL METZGER. “Nibs” Price’s Califorhis fives have long been masters ofg the all-im- portant basket ball fundamental— caging the ball. That's why they have long been supreme on the Pa- cific Coast. They spend much of their time all season in perfecting themselves in scoring by both long and short shots from all angles. Naturally they are pesfection itself in the one-hand short shot discussed yesterday, as most of them are tall, rangy men, ideal types for this game. THE BASKET IF DRIVEN 40 CORNER USE THIS CROSS BODY . 4HOT In addition, they drop in an un- usual number of twos<hand chest shots from 15 to 30 feet away,a shot used when the player with the ball cannot: pass to a teammate or ad- vance it further himself. It used to be that coaches frowned on these long shots. Today they are very much in vogue. The reason is that basket ball has become a highly spe- cialized sport, the varsity players practicing their shots for months be- iore the season begins. Another shot California uses is the cross-body two-handed shot. It's launched from the corner, the spot where the defense always seeks to drive the attack.

HE checkered career of Lew Fon- seca, the Oakland Portuguese, reached a climax when he was selected, unofficially, but never- theless decisively, for the Ameri- can League’s “most valuable player” dis- tinction of 1920. The swarthy flogger, who was supposed to be about through as a major leaguer, put on a great ex- hibition to beat out Al Simmons and Jimmy Foxx for the batting champion- | Linn ship. Here's how Gordon Cobbledick of | &t the Cleveland Plain Dealer summed up his work “Fonsecd, in addition to being the |3 league's leading batsman, was one of | ¥ its best defensive first basemen and leading base runner. He furnished much of the punch and more of the inspira- tion that enabled the Indians to make their “spectacular climb from seventh place to third. “For six weeks in the early part of the season, when the Cleveland pitch- | g ers were going badly and no one else was hitting, Fonseca single-handed kept the Tribe from slipping into the cellar. I firmly believe that without Fonseca | Hall the Indians would have finished in the second division, and in this opinion I have the support of many of his team- mates.” HEORETICALLY sprinters should make good ball carriers, providing they can be “'shaken loose” in an open field, but usually they lack shiftiness and durability. Red Grance and Red Cagle never won any sprint titles, but there have been few halfbacks as hard to catch on any gridiron as these two, They combined average speed with elu- siveness, which happens to be just as essential when a flock of tacklers are to be_avoided. Ray Barbuti and Chet Bowman scored touchdowns as well as sprint_victories for Syracuse, Barbuti, rugged enough to shine in both sports and then win Olympic laurels, may try the profes- sional gridiron, Al” Milier, Harvard's 200-pound sprinter, was_also a good halfback and Charley Rogers, Penn track star, outran the secondary defense of & number of teams a few years ago. George ' Simpson of Ohio “State, the world’s 100-yard record-holder, and his Texas rival, Claude Bracey of Rice In- stitute, reconsidered plans to try the gridiron, but Cy Leland of Texas Chri- tian changed his spikes for cleats. IF glven sufficlent time, West Point's foot ball team may complete the job of playing at least one college team from every State in the Union. Within the past 10 years the Cadets have drawn their opposition from no less than 25 States, ranging from California to Maine, Minnesota to Florida.

Alexander, Vance, Pennock a8 Grove would probably be the best four pitch- ers. Eddie Collins arrived around 1908, but he wasn't a star until 1910. The bunch who came along before 1910 had the call. Most of them were still starring 10 years later—some of them as late as 1925, Concerning Schedules. " CHEDULES arranged last - Winter failed to work out as predicted. Some were tougher than they looked— others much softer. Notre Dame looked to have the tough- est _schedule of the lot, but several teams on the list that were strong last season Kappened to be weak last Fall— notably Georgia Tech, Indiana and Romero.... Viehmann. Hine —12 or 13 all told. Carnegie Tech was also far below last season’s form. The Navy, in its first 1,93 | four big games, failed to win a start. 1950 | The same was true of the Army Harvard, Yale and Illinois. Towa came close to having the tough- est schedule in the country. | _This team had to meet in succession Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Purdue and Michigan. No one team had to meet two teams as hard to beat as Illinois and Purdue, who on average form rank with the best in the game. WHEN you consider the ranking of any team you must give the sched- ule major consideration. I know of more than one unbeaten team that al- most surely would have taken a good trimming if it had added one or two hard games, coming after other hard games. No team that did not play from four to six hard or battering games with opponents of standing can be given equal consideration with others that did. In the Sou h. Grorgla and C’vlegrglu Tech played the hardest sched- ule: Consider Yale's hard mtrch: Georgia- Brown, Army, Dartmouth, Maryland, Princeton, Harvard.

BIG SIX WINTER TRACK MEET DATES ARE SET KANSAS CITY, December 7 (#)—Big 8ix coaches and athletic directors have decided that the 1930 conference out- door track meet will be held in Lin- coln May 23 and 24 and the indoor meet in Columbia on March 8, but other im- portant announcements—if such there re to be from the Fall meetings of thei Big 8ix and the Missouri Valley groups —must come today. Sessions of both conferences end this afternoon, and .thus far the athletic mentors have done only routine busi- ness, The track meets were awarded HERE were other schedules as hard —or harder. Michigan had a holy terror. Michigan had to meet Purdue, Ohio State, Illinols, Harvard, Minneso- to and Iowa in a ro This was an even tougher march than Iowa faced. The schedule tells the bigger part of the story. Those that faced the tough ones usually dropped at least one game, often two or more. ‘The big explosion usually comes after two hard games.

On Saturday, January 4, the New Englanders will come here. Where the ‘Washington games will be rolled has not been determined. Teams, doubles and singles will be shot, with total pins for 10 games to decide the winners, In, perhaps, the feature event, How- ard Campbell will oppose Jack White, who is many bucks up on Washington bowlers. He has never met Campbell, now regarded as the foremost stake performer of this city. In the doubles Capt. Rinaldi will use Max Rosenberg, the Northeast Temple ace, and either Campbell, borrowed from the King Pins, or Paul Harrison, Rosenberg's sensational young team- mate who helped him establish & dou- bles record for league competition last year. The Grand Palace Valet team line-u) will be: Paul Harrison, Ollie Pacl Jack Wolstenholme, Howard cnmpbllf and Max Rosenberg. Manager Barber will select his team from 1 Friske of Hartford, Jack White and Joe Porto of New. Haven, Dugas of Norwich, Fred Teller of Meridian and Tronsky and Gacek of New Britain, all nationally known bowlers. ‘The stake in each event will be large. Final games in the Meyer Davis swcegs kes for women will be rolled tonight at the King Pin No. 1, starting at 7:30 o'clock. Lorraine Guill has a strangle hold on first place, but some spirited battling is on tap for second, third and fourth money. George Lang's Bowling Center team of Baltimore recently challenged King Pins and was snapped up. ] the teams that rolled the two largest three-game sets in duckpin history will come together, the first block of five games to be rolled at the Lucky Strike next_Saturday night and the final at the Bowling Center in Baltimore, De- cember 21, total pins for the 10 games to decide the victor. The Baltimoreans recently rolled a set of 1,881 to beat by four pins the previous record, made sev~ eral years ago by the King Pins, The Bowling Center team defeated the King Pins in a match this season and the King Pins were eager for an- other meeting. Capt. Campbell, Clem ‘Weidman, Bernie Frye, Jack Wolsten- holme and Ray Ward, the regular King Pin District League line-up,- will face the prized enemy. In a special match rolled at Boule- vard_Alley in Chevy Chase, the Wind- ing Gulfs, representing the Griffith Coal Consumers' Co., * defeated the Black Knights, representing the Wash Wil liams concern, by 38 pins in_three games, Doyle and Alken starred for the winners.
