S PORTS. FIRST DIVISION ELEVENS SUPPLY MYTHICAL SQUAD Fesler, Ohio State, Is Only Repeater From 1929 All- Star Outfit—Select Lot Averages 188 Pounds in Weight, 5 Feet 10 Inches in Height. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 28.—All five first division teams in the 1930 champlonship race placed one or more players on the Associ- ated Press’ honorary Western Conference foot ball team, but Northwestern topped them all with a quartet of its stars winning berths. The honorary eleven was selected today for the Associated Press by coaches, active officials and foot ball writers, who closely followed Conference foot ball fortunes, individually and collectively, throughout the campaign. Michigan, co-champion of the con- ference with Northwestern; Purdue, 1929 title holder and runner-up this Fall, and Wisconsin, which tied Ohio State for fourth and fifth positions in the race, placed twp of their players each, while Ohlo State landed Wesley Fesler for the third straight year by unanimous choice. Framing of the consensus of a large group of foot ball experts was com- ungvexy easy this year, although two or three of the Big Ten's big stars won tions on the first honorary eleven only two or three votes over their worthy rivals, who were honored by berths on the second team. Two Purple Backs Picked. Northwestern's honored four were -ank Baker, right end; Wade “Red” oodworth, left guard; Lee Hanley, right halfback, and Ernest “Pug” Rent- ner, who beat out his teammate, “Reb’ Russell, for the fullback post by a Parrow margin. Michigan placed Harry Newman at back and Ray Morrison at cen- | b + Wisconsin placed Milo Lubratovich st left tackle and Gregory Kabat at laced George Van re and Eddie Risk ck, while Ohio State's t Fesler landed at left end with the provision that he would be useful at any foot ball position from tullback to d to coach. -lm. incidentally, was the only re- peater from last year's all-star team as chosen for the Associated Press. ‘The team, -ann 188 pounds in ht and 5 feet 10 inches in height, up as one of great potential , especially in the present era of Bhe ‘Tunning sitack an pass. It possesses speed, in the forward wall, foot ball sense and deception. It lacks some of the pile-driving punch of former all- star teams, but probably possesses greater versatility. Newman Fine Quarter. Newman was picked by the majority over John White of Purdue for the quarterback post because he undoubt- edly was the one big offensive 3 that enabled Michigan's comparatively the ship porridge. one of the best passers in the confer- ence and won game after game for the Wolverines with his tosses. Newman was hailed durin, ond Bennle Friedman. He is a sopho- more and lives in Detroit. Risk and Hanley, picked for the half- back positions, were two of the best running backs in Big Ten foot ball his- tory. Risk, a shifty runner and a hard driver in smashes off tackle especially, was Purdue’s outstanding ground gainer, averaging better than 6 yards a crack all season. He also was an exceptional fense. The Purdue star i€ a junior, and his home is Terre Haute, Ind. Hanley, brother of Northwestern's coach, was much the same type of player as Risk. His stardom was rec- ognized by the critics as all the greater as he was forced to overcome by sheer foot ball ability the unfair jibes about the “royal family,” the “coach’s pet” and other remarks aimed at him be- cause he ed to be the head coach’s brother. Northwestern fans jeered him as a favorite when he start- ed, but he made them cheer for him as a really great foot ball player before e finished. Rentner Strong Passer. Rentner, Northwestern's other back- fleld contribution, was forced out of the Indiana, Wisconsin and Notre Dame games because of an injury, but was voted on the team as fullback despite that setback. Coach Hanley called one of the best passers ever to come up to the conference and he achieved such recognition during his first year in the competition as a sophomore. He was a consistent line bucker and a good kicker. His home is in Jollet, Ill. Baker and Fesler were unanimous choices for the end positions and rank- ed by most critics as outstanding candi- dates for the 1930 All-American teams. Fesler enjoyed probably his greatest season at Ohio State. Baker, a great fius receiving end, was the big cog in jorthwestern's scoring machine, tally- ing 38 golnu. ‘Van Bibber and Lubratovich were al- most unanimous choices for the tackling | posts.

With most of the sandlot foot ball teams just about through for the year, the annual post-season warfare for the various championships is on. At least two sandlot elevens today claim titles. The Congress Heights grid- ders, who emerged from a nine-game schedule yesterday after downing King's Palace, 20 to 0, claim the 125-pound championship. A 13-t0-0 victory for Georgetown over 8t. Stephens wins the 85-pound cham- plonship for the West Enders, the Georgetowners claim. A sustained attack in the last three- quarters gave the Palace-D. G.

It was the only league game scheduled yesterday. Moose Mosko, in the absence of Coach Ed Abbey, will drill the Mohawk gridmen for the St. Mary's Celtic game Sunday at the Griffith Stadium. The Mohawks probably will make this game thelr final appearance be- fore tackling the Apaches 10 days from ay. Mosko, former G.

November 28— The Executive Committee of the third athletic district of Virginia has recon- sidered an earlier deci the district foot ball title to Fredericks- burg High School instead of Washing- ton and Lee High ef Ballston. ‘Washington and was given the champlonship at & meeting here last week on the basis of its all-season rec- ord after Alexandria, Fredericksburg and Washington-Lee ended the league race in a triple tie. » A district rule stating that the cham- Flomhln must be awarded on a basis of eague play only was called to the at- tention of the committee this week and the title went over to Fredericksburg, as neither Washington-Lee nor Alex- andria could arrange for & play-off. ‘lle may be had aimost anywhere along | lon and awarded | may have been a drought last Summer and during the | played early Fall, but you wouldn't know it to look at the course of the Manor Club. ‘The last nine and the inside nine of this fine layout, near Norbeck, Md., are in better condition just now than they have been in years, while the first nine, which is only 2 years old, is in fairly good shape. The course as & whole is only about 8 years old, but the fairways on the last nine and the short “inside” course, now used by the fair golfers of the club, are better than the fairways at many 8}\1%! very much older than the Manor jub. For some reason Manor remained in fairly good shape through the heat of the drought, and when we finally did get a little rain the grass responded Quickly. The result is that now the course is in the pink of condition. Greenkeeper Hines has kept the put- ting greens fairly fast, which some of the players aver is not so good in these days of late Fall, but those putting sur- faces are as nearly perfect, over the last nine holes, as those of many cham- plonship courses we have seen. Indeed, they are as good as those of any layout around Washington, and this includes the greens on the new or first nine holes. Some of the longer hitters of the club believe that first nine is too short, par- ticularly for Summer-time golf, when the fast fairways permit a long roll of the ball. But, as Harry Pitt says, every one tightens up so when they down “in the woods” that they make the nine longer than it is. A suggestion has been made that some of the holes on the last nine be lengthened to give the course about 300 or 400 yards’ additional length to coun- terbalance the shortness of the first nine. This would mean taking away two or three holes of the “inside nine,” but would make the big course nearer championship caliber. ‘Those fairways at Manor, on the sec- ond nine, are so0 good just now that Winter rules are needless, although they are in use. A new stand of grass has come along, which has put the fairways in excellent shape, and a wooden club's the rough-fringed route. OLD weather means nothing to those rough, tough gents of the military services, who make up the membership of the Army, Navy and Ma- rine Corps County Club. Right on the very verge of Winter, as Boreas sends his first chilling blasts over Washington, they have organized a “snowbird tourna- ment,” and so enthusiastic has been the response to the call that 125 golfers have turned in their names for the event, and have been paired for the match play rounds. First prizes in the tourney have been donated by Col. Robert Guggenheim, while the runner-up prizes have been given by Col. H. A. Taylor. The tour- ney is to be run off as a handicap match-play event and pairings were made by a draw from the hat. Con- testants may arrange their own matches by setting & date with the opponent.

Strangely enough, although they were all high handicap golfers, they all obtained birdie 3s on the first hole, all chipping into the hole to score the birdies. Tony Sylvester, the Bannock- burn pro, didn't even crack a smile as he told this tale. He swears, however, that the yarn is a true one, to the known veracity of ‘Wooton, W. R. Rhodes and Judge E. K. Wilson as proof. Tony himself is get! “hot” in this golf business. On Wednesday, when high winds swept the Bannockburn course, he played 12 holes with G. Emerson Moore, Leo F. Pass and Paul F. Moeller in only 3 over par, picking up 2 deuces en route. D. C. SOCCER TEAMS BOW TO BALTIMORE BOOTERS Two Trimmed by Marylanders, but One Plays to Draw—Marlboro, Rosedale in Tie. Boccer teams of the District area are preparing to wind up a busy week end tomorrow and Sunday, following four games yesterday, when Baltimore booters beat two Washington rivals and tied one. Clifton booters defeated Washington- Concords, 2 to 0; Wingfoot club tied District of Columbia Kickers, 1-1, and Wingfoot Reserves downed the Kicker Reserves, 2 to 0. Marlboro, champion of the Capital City League, and Rosedale, leaders in the Capital City loop, fought to a 1-1 deadlock on the fair grounds at Upper Marlboro. British United and Silver Spring elevens will clash Sunday on the Silver Spring fleld in_one of the first-round games for the United States Foot Ball Association’s Cup tie champlonship. These teams are the lone District elevens entered in the event. Other games scheduled hereabout Sunday may be postponed to 51ve this impor- tant battle a clear fleld. Rosedale soccerists will go to New- port News tomerrow night to engage an eleven there. It will be the first nocturnal game in which a soccer team of the District section ever has en- gaged.

BISONS AGAIN NIP LINGOLN GRIDMEN Beaten, 2-0, Lions Haven't Crossed Howard Goal Line Since 1924, OWARD UNIVERSITY glorled today in a victory over its arch foot ball rival, Lincoln Univer- sity, scored before 10,000 in Griffith Stadium yesterday, 2 .to 0. Lincoln hasn't crossed the Bison goal since 1924. ‘That the score didn’t include a touch- down as well as a safety was due to & bit of carelessness in the fourth quar- ter, when a Bison sub walked on the fleld while the ball was in motion. On the play a punt by Lamar of Lincoln was blocked on the 3-yard line by Mar- shall, who also fell on the ball behind the Lincoln goal. It was ruled that Howard had 12 men on the field, and the touchdown was voided. Howard scored a safety in the third riod when Edwards, Bison end, locked Lamar’s kick behind the Lin- coln goal and the oval bounded back of the end goal for an automatic score. A Real Battle. A more spirited game hasn't been played in Washi n this season. It was replete with thrills that helped an enthusiastic gatnering to overlook the bitter cold. Lincoln was the greater ground gainer, but Howard had the better of the breaks, the visitors scoring nine first downs to four for the Bisons. Except for its flankmen, Lee, Mack and Edwards, Howard, was weak in the line until the enemy got near the goal, which it did several times. Then the THE SPORTS.

The Bisons were losing much ground through poor punts until Hall was sent in for Taylor at halfback in the first quarter. His kel;fi'lnhce mn;l f.lr]:e fray brought a marked change. Hall proceeded to out- kick the flashy Lamar. It was a brilliartt kick by Hall that led to Howard's points. From midfield he booted to the Bison 7-yard line, and it was while Lincoln was backed up against its goal that Edwards blocked Lamar’s punt. Lamar at right halfback, Kane at left tackle and Baskerville at quarterback were Lincoln’s best players.
