HIS all - Southeastern Confer- ence eleven was not selected by me alone, but the players were picked on the basis of the ad- ¥ice and judgment of many coaches. ‘This team would have fine punting, passing, running and blocking; would be almost invircible on defense, and would have that greatest of all assets, * deam speed. Alabama and Louisiana have great . teams, and it is interesting to note that more of their players were not selected on the all-conference team..| ‘The strength of Louisiana and Al bama lies in the fact that both hate & large number of 'first-class men, with well-balanced and well-rounded organizations. Many probably would not select Mickal at fullback because he has been handicapped by a mid-Summer injury. He is a great blocker and tackler, a punter of unusual skill and as good a passer as can be found any- where in the country. With Mickal out, Louisiana has a splendid team, but with Mickal in the line-up the effictency of Louisiana’s team is vastly increased. Plenty of Centers.

Rice, Southen Methodist and Texas Christian led the Southwestern charge against distant elevens. Notre Dame carried most of the Middle Western burden, winning three games and | tying one other. Duquesne, Temple | and Fordham were the chief Eastern winners. Although the South won only 12 of its 19 major intersectional games, that district had one big winner in Louisiana State, Southeastern Con- ference champion. L. 8.

THERE are a large number of ends of the very best caliber, including Tinsley and Barrett of Louisiana, Mor- ris of Auburn, Bryant and Walker of Alabama, Rose of Tennessee, Plasman and Geny of Vanderbilt and Gelatka, ‘Walters and Keenan of Mississippi State. Capt. Geny of Vanderbilt has won & lot of games due to his marvel- ous ability in receiving passes. Last year he led the country as a scoring lineman. He also is first class in all other departments of the game. Tins- ley probably is all-America timber. He is a wonderful pass receiver, dead- 1y under punts, moves fast on offense and defense, and is big and strong. Smith of Alabama, at quarter, ‘weighs more than 200 pounds, is a fine field general, a devastating blocker and an excellent passer. He is another man worthy of all-America considera- tion. Dixon of Vanderbilt, Seago of Louisiana, Treadway of Georgia, Stew- art of Auburn and Craig of Tennessee are all first-class quarterbacks. Pickle of Mississippi State, a sopho- more, wins a place at halfback be- cause of his great ability and brilliant playing. Fatheree of Louisiana is a great all-around back. There is a fine array of halfbacks in the conference, including Bond, Anderson and Minot of Georgia, Chase of Florida, Hith- cock and Mitchell of Auburn, Kormer- nan -of Georgia Tech, Riley of Ala- | bama, Palmer of Tennessee, Davis of Kentucky, Rodgers of Mississippi, Armstrong of MMississippi State, Reed, Crass and Reohn of Louisiana 'and ‘Watson and Takes of Tulane.

Intense competition for regular positions on St. Anthony High School’s basket ball team prevails as the Brookland squad prepares for its first game next Wednesday. The squad will open the season at the gym of its traditional rival, St. Paul’s. Three men—Rogers, Ellis and Her- ring—are fighting for the center post, while seven men are trying to nab the four positions as guards and for- wards, Durkin, Holden, Thomas and Bausch are the embryo forwards, while Salb, Sullivan and Collins are seeking to be installed as first-string guards.

Dickens of Tennessee has wonderful ability, but he never re- covered from a Midsummer injury. Johnson of Kentucky is potentially the greatest back in the conference, but injuries greatly handicapped him. The conference has a lot of foot ball players who would be gratefully received by coaches in any section of the country. A large number of these men are sophomores.

AHONEY, who took the presi- dency last year with the under- standing that he would serve only one year, recently indicated he might run again in order to carry on his fight for the boycott. Advocates of the boycott claim at least nine of the 34 sectional asso- ciations on their side and expect sup- port from others which have not gone on record. The delegatespto the convention must attend to various other affairs between Friday and Sunday. Elec- tion of officers, action on nearly 300 records submitted for adoption and the assignment of places and dates for the 1936 national championships and the Olympic trials are the major items.

There has been only, one Thorpe in foot ball. I asked Pop how he happened to lift his Stanford and Temple full- backs over the Indian. “I'll give you my angle,” Pop said. “I am Willing to admit there never was a foot ball player who could do 80 many things as brilliantly as Jim Thorpe could—run, buck, pass, catch passes, drop-kick, place-kick, punt, block, tackle or back up a line— but Jim Thorpe was inconsistent. He was more of a playboy, who played 3 foot ball only for fun. He played when he felt like playing. If he didn't feel in the mood on a certain day—or if it was raining—his average would take a big drop. Many Indian foot ball players were like that. They played for fun, and when they didn’t feel like playing it was a tough job to keep them hustling—especially on rainy days or wet fields. “There wasn’t anything Jim Thotpe couldn’t do with a foot ball. He was a star in every department—on the days he felt like doing his stuff. “Nevers and Smukler always were ready to play themselves out. Smuk- ler’s knee injury was a hard blow to Temple this last Fall. I kept on hoping he would get back in and so kept delaying the changes I would have made earlier. But don’t fofget. in shape, that Smukler is about as good as any of them come.” “A little tired after 41 years of coaching?” I asked Pop. Crump, who sold Head Play to Mrs. Silas Mason for $30,000, has been engaged to train the horse . . . That “hot” story about demands for Gil Dobie’s scalp at Cornell has cooled off . .. There have been so many demands for Gil's head that he doesn't even stop to argue with the boys any more . . . A Southern scribe asks: “What's become of Max Baer?” . ..

The boys from these three sections are closer to the soil. They are farther away from the softer sides of living. They can take more punish- ment. They have better legs and stronger hands. They are closer to good condition. “Here’s a double example” Layden continued. “From their 1934 teams Minnesota and Pittsburgh lost such men as these—Lund, Kostka, Clark- son, Alphonse, Seidel, Bevan, Larsen, Tenner, Weinstock, Hartwig, Ormiston, Shotwell, Nicksick—at least 15 or 20 stars all told —yet Minnesota comes back with another team just as good, and Pittsburgh almost as good, in No- ‘vember. “No other sections, except the Southwest, could have had such replacements ready —so many big, fast, rugged boys who love the game.” Looking Back. ALL this brought up a debate as to whether the college players of 1935 teams of 25 or 30 years ago. Only a few days ago I ran across at the same foot ball gathering. Their | meeting brought part of the answer. In. 1899 Suter, a former Princeton quarterback, was coaching Sewanee. Heisman had a fine team at Aubugn, one of the best in the South. ‘This was the year when Suter’s Se- wanee played five hard games in six days—think that one over. “We opened up with Texas,” Suter z “We to book six lor the six-day trip through the Southwest and the South, but couldn’t dig up another mid-week opponent.’ “How "did you finish?” I asked. “A little tired,” Suter said, “but otherwise ‘in pretty good shape.
