TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, i 19. Warner Names His All-Time, All- America Football Team Three Warner - Coached SLI IL LIS! VARINES WON aridders Picked On His All-Time Outfit; Other Greats Recalled By SAM JACKSON AP Feature Service Writer SAN JOSE, Calif, Nov. 5— The man who has coached many a football star during his long career thinks that three of them deserve places on any All-America team. Pop Warner, recalling all the gridiron greats, names Jim Thorpe, Jim Peck, and Ernie Nevers to his all-time team. Only two stars of the last decade— Ernie Smith and Harry Smith of Southern California—are on the outfit. Of his choices, Warner, now advisory coach at San Jose State, says: “These selections cover a wide range of years, which might in- Gicate that -outstanding players keep coming @p with some regu- larity. “On the other hand, football has advanced so much in recent; years—there are so many good players today—that perhaps some of these eaflier ones would not be outstanding im the modern game. But they were standouts in their time and their reputa- tion has lasted through the years”. His team: ENDS: Frank Hinkey, Yale, 1892; Brick Muller, Califor- nia, 1921. TACKLES: “Fat” Henry, Wash- ington and Jefferson, 1919; Ernie Smith, Southern Cali- fornia, 1930. GUARDS: “Pudge” Hefflefin- ger, Yale, 1889; Harry Smith, Scuthern California, 1939. CENTER: Bob Peck, Pitts- burgh, 1915. BACKS: Jim Thorpe, Carlisle, 1912; Willie Heston, Michi- gan, 1904; Red Grange, Illi- nois, 1 Ernie Nevers, Stanford, 1925. Let “Pop” tell you about his team Hinkey Great “Hinkey, the great Yale end of the early 90’s, was not a big fel- low, but he was very tricky and a great leader and field general Muller, a member of Andy Smith's first “wonder team” at California, was big and fast. He participated in an early Rose Bow! victory. “Fat Henry of Washington and Jefferson was one of the best tackles I've ever seen. He was one of the fastest big men ever to play, and in addition to being a great defensive tackle was a polished place kicker. For the other tackle one must consider Marshall Newell of Harvard, who made Walter Camp's Aill- America team for four years in the early 90's, but I believe my choice would be Ernie Smith of Southern California. “At guard ‘Pudge’ Hefflefinger of Yale, who played in 1889 and made the first All-America team, was one of the first to demon- strate that a lineman could get into interference. For the other guard I don’t know of any man Td rather have than Harry Smith, of last year’s U.S.C. team. Peck A: “At center I'd put Bob Peck of Pittsburgh. Germany Schultz of Michigan. considered a _ great player, was a bigger man than Peck, but Peck was wonderfully aggressive and a great leader. “In the backfield, except for fullback—where I'd put Ernie Nevers who played for me at Stanford—I would not designate individual positions. In addition to Nevers I'd want Jim Thorpe of Carlisle, Willie Heston of Michi- gan and Red Grange of Illinois. Grange Tops “Grange was the greatest open field runner. Thorpe also was a wonderful open field man. He al- so had plenty of weight for line plunging, was great at punting and place kicking and had speed and all round ability. “Heston was a big fellow, pow- erful, a good runner and very clever. Nevers, the most consi: tently good fullback, ‘was! fairly fast, a clever open field runner and a powerful line bucker. He was a wonderful passer and kicker. “Some coaches would probably pick Walter Eckersall in the backfield, but I think these choic- es better all around. Harmon of Michigan might deserve a place. but he hasn’t finished his playing career and you have to judge a man on his complete record in college”. all-time ! IF YOU FEEL LUCKY, READ THIS ADVICE (By Associated Press) FRANKFORT. Ky., Nov. 5. —Prompted perhaps by Ken- tucky’s fame as a horse rac- ing state, an Oklahoma wom- an who said she felt “lucky” wtote State Acricultural May for information on how to make a herse race bet. May wrote in reply: “You say you feel lucky, and in this you are not alone . .. But pack your dreams in some far corner of your mind to be taken out from time to time and turned over as you would turn a priceless string of pearls, and settle down to enjoy these things, however few, which have been given to you”.

FAST CONTEST FROM CAMPERS DOGS KNOTTED COUNT IN FOURTH Coming from behind, the U.S. Marines defeated the CCC's last night at Bayview Park in an in- teresting and fast game, 8-6. The contest was the oniy one played in the regular scheduled double- header. Nightcap was called off when rain began to fall. Getting off to a bad start— the Marines committing numer- ous errors in the first inning— the teams settled down to serious play and completed their game in exactly fifty minutes. The victory strengthened the Leathernecks’ hold on second- place in the Service League. Campers got a flying start and looked like “sure winners” after scoring five runs in the very first inning. However, from then on pitcher Spakes held the Sum- merland Key visitors to a lone run, while his teammates kept pecking away to tie the score in the fourth and win the game in the sixth. Skiner, on the mound for the CCC’s, was the leading hitter, blasting a triple and two singles in four tries. Shannon poled two out of three, as did Connor and Morter. Manager Lieutenant M. O. Donohoo of the Marines, be- sides playing a great defensive game, connected for two safe- ties. driving home three runs. The opposing pitchers struck out two and walked one each.

Fullback Johnny Martin, hurt in the game against Kansas State, insisted his arm injury wasn’t se- rious. Trainer Owens wasn’t sure. So between halves Martin was rushed against his wishes to the nearby college infirmary where an X-ray was taken. It showed no bones broken. *¥ told you so”, said Martin and went back into the game and scored another tanchdown. GOLF ISN'T ONLY (By Associated Press) ~ LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 5—So golf is an “old man’s sport?” How about harness racing, in which nearly all the top-notchers are well past the 50-year mark? Whirling sulkies of the Grand Cireuit provide plenty of danger and excitement but the old-tim- ers among reinsmen seem to thrive on it.

It weighed four pounds: the sucker 142 pounds.

October; 1901, Vanderbilt was playing Auburn in Montgomery. In those days the spectators crowded around the field and sometimes would get in the way of the players. When the second-half started, Auburn kicked off to Vanderbilt. Vandy, after a snort run, had the ball ongheir own 30-yard line. The teams lined up and the Van- dy quarter began to call signals. In the midst of the signals, Tigert suddenly yelled, “Time”. When the referee granted his request, Tigert dashed down the field near {the Auburn goal line to clear ,;Some spectators out of the way, saying: “I'm coming down this way in just a moment”. The teams lined up. were called again. Tigert went “down this way” for a touchdown! POLITICALLY MINDED (By Associated Press) CLEMSON, S.
