SATURDAY, ae BER 23, 1940 YESTERDAY: Sally just has arrived h rebuilt. Rain threatens, and when she arrives she finds nobody, not even the servants, at home. She thinks she sees Kirk, one of her guests, run away as s'e approaches, and al- though Aunt Maggie, whose spe- cialty is lookigg up genealogies, has crashed the party, not even Aunt Maggie can be found.

I resolved that I would tell {Bill a thing or two for not im | sisting that she telephone me be- forehand. | "But anyway, I might as well ar- |range the flowers. First of all, the long-stemmed gladioli for the tall vases on the tables in the hall.

Finally, darting quickly from one to the other, I did close both doors.

This has been Eve’s choice designation for Claire ever since one of our Atlanta newspa- pers had grown fulsome on the subject of Claire’s appearance when she was presented at court in London. And it is true that Claire is quite exceptionally love- ly, with her Titian hair, her price- less skin and her eyes which are gray, blue or green by turns, de- pending upon her mood or her costume. “Well,” Eve continued, “love certainly does work wonders, es- pecially love and money.

Acclaimed Kingpin Of Indians; Thinks And Plays Spectacularly By SAM JACKSON AP Feature Service Writer PALO ALTO, Calif, Nov. 23— Clark Shaughnessy is coaching the Stenford Indians through a brilliant season, but the man who does their thinking on the field as -well as their most spectacular playing is Quarterback Frankie Albert. Because of his deadly passing, tAlbert is being mentioned in the same breath with the great Sammy Bauch. And his admir- ers believe that if he doesn’t rate ‘All-America’ at the end of this triumphant Stanford year, next season—he has another year of competition—he is sure to make the grade. Albert's the man who peded U.S.C. in the last minutes of play with three long flips that set up the winning touchdown and broke up a 7-to-7 tic. In that game his passes net- ted 208 yards st none for the Trojan tosse! Again his generalship and ac- curacy brought Stanford from away behind to beat mighty Washington. And against Oregon State he w one-man whirl- stam- three He's A Leftie Albert is a left-handed passer and a left-fooct kicker. When he’s in the game. ‘hich is practically all of the time—he does Stan- ford’s punting and goal kicking, in addition to calling the plays and handling the ball from cen- ter in Shaughnessy’s T forma- tion. It was perhaps Shaughnessy’s master stroke at Stanford when he took Albert cut of left half- back position as early as spring practice and gave him his present extremely heavy assignment. Frankie's a gambler when a score is in prospect, and in this policy obviously has his coach’s support. In the U.S.C. game an assistant coach desperately phon- ed to Shaughnessy from the press box that Stanford should! hold the ball and be content with the existing tie. Shaughnessy, laughed it off and just about then Albert started the touchdown pa- rade. At times his gambling has put; Stanford in a dangerous hole and it may lose the team a game some day. So far. the breaks have eventually come his way and daring has paid big divi- dends. Great Passer i Although his record for com- pleted passes looks good on paper it is a lot better in fact. Many a flawless pass has been ruined by a slow receiver, or by a covering opponent who simply couldn't be shaken off. Frankie—or Prince Albert, as some of the béys call ‘hirn—does not carry the bali mutch and when he does is not especially success- ful. Stanford's straight ground gainers are principally Standlee, Kmetovie and Gallerneau. ' Albert is 20 years old, stands 5 feet 9 inches, and weighs 170 pounds. He comes from Glen- dale, Calif. Stanford’s delirious _rooters, who are reacting as might be ex- pected from the miseries of the! eellar position last year, are well aware of Frankie’s inspired and often perilous manner of calling plays. A remark often heard in the stands is. “You never know what that guy will do!” The tone of voice depends on whether the little quarter, has * just lost the ball on some wild en- terprise or whether an equally wild one has set up a touchdown. ‘he is hereby required to { complaint ALL-AMERICA By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service As the end of the football sea- son approaches the list of candi- dates for the 1940 All-America team narrows down to a few dozen players who have managed to stand out consistently during the campaign. A single poor performance has eliminated many. Here are four high-ranking aces: JIMMY NELSON, Alabama's triple-threat halfback, was at his best in the Crimson’s tough games with Tennessee, Kentucky and Tulane. CHET GLADCHUCK of Boston College is perhaps the biggest center in the country. Foes bumping into him just stop. He's a ball-hawk, too. BOB NELSON, Baylor center on the 1939 AP. second All- America, has made a_ spirited bid for top ranking this year. BRUCE SMITH. Minnesota halfback, starred in the Gophers’ drive that beat Northwestern. Michigan and Ohio State. Smith's 80-yard run brought the touch- down that whipped the Wolver- ines.
