On his first team the famous football authority has chosen players from cleven different institu- tions In various sections of the coun- gry. Seven of these stars are East- ern players, three are from the Mid- dle West and one from the Pacific Coast. The entire line is made up of Eastern players, with the exception of Brick Miller of the University of California, who is assigned to one of the end position. The back fleld con- slsts of three middle western players and one eastern star, the great Kaw of Cornell. " The eastern players selected for the line positions are Taylor of the Navy, Treat of Princeton, Schwab of Lafay- ette, Garbisch of the Army, Hubbard of Harvard and Thurman of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. The backfield 45 composed of Locke of Iowa at {§uarter, Kaw and Kipke of Michigan " at the halfback .posts and John Thom- a8 of Chicago at fullback. . On the:séeond team are seven east- i players, Waldorf A of Syracuse, Cross of; Yale, Bowser of Pittsburgh, tron of West Virginia, Neldlinger of artmouth Smythe of the Army and Owen of Harvard; one from the mid- ‘dle west, Kirk of Michigan; one from _ $he coast, Morrison of California and glo from the south, Bomar of Van- ‘derbilt and Barron of Georgia Tech. W Kopf Gets Place. séast glso has five rqpresenta- tives on the third eleven. 'They are of Washington and Jefferson, Dickinson of Princeton, Gulian of Brown, Jordan of Yale and Barchet of thé Navy. The other players on this team are Below of Wisconsin, MéMillan of Illinols, Peterson of Ne- brasks, Kadesy of Iowa, Uterits of Michigan and Castner of Notre Dame, In writing of his first team, Mr. Camp says: “Every first-class fdot- ball team, a winner, has, just as does & man, a certain marked individuality of {ts ewn. The great characteristics of this all-American team are: “1, Brains—By whieh I mean that every man on it has proved himself in contests this year not only able to play his own position, but to diagnose situations and to act under emergen- ces, . ¥, Power—The actual thrust of this team, line and backs, would be so powerful as to steadily wear down any defense that was presented to them, and by sheer force drive the opponents into submission. “3. Spirit—The flery, dashing, overwhelming confldence that makes everything go. Each man of the elev- ‘'en has this kind of spirit déveloped to the highest degree and each man “has demonstrated it on the field.” In referring to the brilliant Kaw, Mr, Camp says: “Kaw of Cornell needs little introduction after his work of the last two years. To those who have not seen him play, however, it should be said that he is the great- est all-around backfield man in the country. A combination of ability to plunge, rin slant plays, cut in, circle an end, kick or forward pass would be enough, but in addition his defen- sive work is of the very highest and his ability to intercept forward passes is uncanny. He intercepted four in the Dartmouth game and batted down two more.” KILUINGER IS REL New York, Dec. 27.—The New York Yankees announced yesterday the release, under optional agreement, of Glenn Ki'linger, infleld, to the Ath- lanta club of the Southern associa- tien, and of Gormer Wilson, south- paw pitcher, to the Bridgeport club of the Eastern league. Killinger, former gridiron star at Penn S8tate college and an All-Ameri- can backfield choice in 1921, was re- called by the Yankees at the end of ‘ last season from the Jersey City club of the International league, with which team he playéd most of the season. WIFE OPERATES ON LEWIS San Jose, Cal,, Dec. 27.—Ed (Stran- gler) Lewis, world champion heavy- welght wrestler, was onerated upon By his wife, Dr. Ada Morton Lewis, [ for a gathering on the wrist, it be- ! came known recently.

Berlin, Dee, 27.~Lawn tennis leaders in Germany are hold- Ing out to thelr followers the hope that Germany represent- atives will again be allowed to enter titular contests in the United States next year. They state that the American tennis authorities 1egarded the past seagon as too soon after the war to resume these relations, but that among former netural countries there is an increasing desire for German competiton, International matches with Spain, Holland, Denmark and Sweden were revived to a large extent during last year., In the wake of geveral important matches played by Germans in Spain the past few months, a Nuremberg aggregation has now scheduled a Spanish tour for January. Contests will begin at Barcelona January 6, to be followed by matches in Madrid, Seville, Bilbao and Santander. ORDERED 70 MARLIN Manager McGraw Will Have His Pitchers Work Out on Old Training Grounds in February, New York, Dee. 27. — Marlin Springs, Tex., which was deserted by the Giants in 1919 aftér they had trained there for a decade, will see the uniform of the New Yorks again in 1923. There will be revelry again in the old Arlington, and perhaps with John McGraw away, the old 'possum hunt in the wee sma' hours and the badger fight of the Doyle-Fletcher- Merkle era of colorful memory will be revived, to the discomfiture of some of the more credulous rookies. That the Giants were going back to the Texas spa was announced by McGraw when he igsued a- call to every pitcher on his roster to report there on February 22. The hurlers will work at Marlin for nine days'and then head for the main squad at San Antonio, which is scheduled to start work on March 1. McGraw expects about 20 players at the Springs and they will work under the direction of Cozy Dolan, who, by the way, has been reengaged for next year. The Giants still own the ball park at Mar- lin. There will be two catchers to work the pitchers. One will be Anderson, a youngster drafted from Beaumont, and the other Joe Casey, a veteran who has seen service with the Wash- ington and Detroit clubs and now is rusticating at Wakefleld, Mass. The rotund, jolly Mr. Case, as Hughey Jennings calls him, has been recom- mended strongly by Hughey and was advised that he had been epgaged as coach of ‘young pitchers. MAY HELP SCOTT Shifting of Yankees to New Park ‘Will, It is Belicved, Improve Ever- ett's Playing. New York, Dec. of the Yankees Grounds to their new park nearby may prove to be a life saver for Shortstop Everett Scott. The “iron man’ 'of the game had a very ordinary year of it in 1922. He appeared to have slowed up a step or two. He was just failing to reach hits that a few years ago would have been easy chances. Scott was very frank to admit that the infield at the Polo Grounds was his biggest handicap. The diamond there is lightning fast. The infield at Boston, where he starred for years, was always slow. The shift to a fast diamond late in his career worked havoe with his play. It takes years to produce a fast in- field. It is a cinch that the dia- mond at the new Yankee park will be slow for at least three years. All of which may prove Scott's salvation. 27.—The shifting from the Polo The docks at Liverpool, England, are nine miles long, and were con- structed at a cost of $65,000,000. In D. A. R.

B. MeCurdy of Springfield, Mass, secretary of the American Physlcal Education associa- tion, Fielding H. Yost, foothall coach and director of athletics at the Uni- versity of Michigan; Howard Jones, Jowa coach; Major Charles Daly of West Point, former cadet mentor; W. W. Roper, Princeton coach and Wil- llam H, (Big Bill) Edwards, former Princeton gridiron star. Officers of the association include: Major Daly, president; J. W. Hels- man of Pennsylvania, vice-president; and Dr, John W. Wilee of Ohio State, secretary. To Consider Jones' Plan. Among the topies which the coaches will discuss is the proposition ad- vanced by Tad Jones of Yale that all coaches sit in the stands instead of on the players’ bench. This topic in- volves the companion proposition ef side line coaching, which also will be given a thorough airing. It is an open secret that in spite of the restriétions in the .rules side line coaching still flourishes and in some colleges has véached a most advanced stage. The coaches also will have quite a debate about the mentor who plays professional football. Last year the advisory committee of coaches, which acts with the rules committee, passed a resolution calling on the colleges to stop coaches from playing with the “pros.” This was approved by the Coaches' assoclation. But last fall it was noted that a number of college coaches were play- Ing the professional game, This proposition will be attacked with vigor again by the advisory committee, which also met today prior to the general confabulation of the coaches. Discussion of the technical side of foothall will center about the try for point after touchdown. Last year the major topic was clipping from behind, and the coaches’ recommendation tha* this be prohibited was heeded by the rules committee. Now.all the éxcite- ment centers in the mooted try for the seventh point. ‘Want Old Goal Restored. Theré are many coaches, particular- |y from themwest, who want the old goal from touchdown, with the kick at the angle where the ball was car- ried over restored. In the east the sentiment seems to favor giving the present rule another year's trial. The new rule, which made it possible to gcore the seventh point with a drop kick, place kick, forward pass or rush, was unpopular at the start of the 1922 season, but as- the campalgn progressed it grew in favor. The conservative element among the coaches is expected to stand strong in favor of the new rule. Glenn Warner, who was the leader in the movement {which brought about the change in favor of eleven man football for évery point scored, will not be present. He is in Califernia with his Pittsburgh team. But there will be others tc take up the cudgels for his prineiple. Some of the coaches will fight for the return of the All-Amerigan and other “all” selections to the Yootball rules book. This year the rules com- mittee kept Walter Camp’s and other selections out of the book amd sub- !nflluted a list of one time football juminaries who had made good in business and the professions. This list failed to create the ecxpectdd turore. The old star elevens were missed. The rules committee felt that in permitting the Camp gelections to go into the rules book it made the gen- eral pubjic feel that it was standing sponsor for his teams and that this made the Camp All-America official. This supposition is based on a fallacy, and some of the coaches will vote to tell the rules committee just that. SEVEN BIRDIES FOR GOLFERS Wilson and Ross Play in Excellent Form at Pinehurst Pinehurst, N. C., Dee. 27.— Seven birdies, as nearly évenly divided as possible and a best ball score of 05 were registered on the difficult No. 4 course at Plnehurst yesterday by Alex Ross, the Detroit professional and Willie Wilson. Donald Ross's first licutenant at the Country eclub. Ross played four holes under par to Wiison's three and between them they negotiated all of the other 11 holes in the par figures.

Herbert Kopf, a local boy, was honored by Walter Camp in his All, American football-sele¢tions, with a place on the third eleven. The failure of George Owen to gain a place on the All-America football team, that is the first one, was one of the biggest surprises in the gelec- tions. Camp's depe knocked the pick- ings eof some other dopesters for a row of surprise packages. The Hartford Kaceys lost a 23 to 20 game to the All-Stars basketball team at Hartford last night. Carl Restella of thig city scored one field goal, and four foul goals. The New Haven Kaceys were scheduled to play the Capital City Knights, but the team fajled to put in an appearance. The Winsted Kace%' lost a red-hot basketball game to the All-Colleglans, 29 to 23, at Winsted last night. Gormer Wilson, a left hander, has been turned over to the Bridgeport club of the Eastern league by the New York Yankees. He should prove a valuable acquisition to the McCann pitching corps. The annual meeting of the Eastern league moguls will be held at New Haven tomorrow. . The New York Boxing commission has ordered Kid Williams of Balti- more and Harry Leonard of BrooKlyn to engage in another bout befare they receive any money for the bout held last Friday.

The little New England boy, who played sub quarter at Yale, was a forward on the Blue basketball team and an outflelder on the nine, after changing his decision still felt the pressure of the Klansmen, it is re- ported, and finally determined to changé his residence. Donahue was recently nlected presi- dent of the Southerh Coaches' nsso- ciation.. He has under éoneideration other offers to coach in Dixic intitn- tions, but it is thought that he may come up beyond the Mason and Dixon line.
