Kirkland To Bat “Giving rabid opinions regarding anj incident is bad, but to think that < sport writer of a paper (Berne Wit •less i would do such without ever see ing the game is disgusting. To Inforn him correctly, Kirkland fans wish t< announce that Berne 1 st two gamer last Friday because they played twe better teams and not becquse of a re feree favoring the Kangaroos. If dost refereeing had been the menu, Bernt would have been sunk by a far greatei margin. Also, Berne was never in the lead at any stage of the game. The best they could do was to tie the score 'Barking from the sidelines' is nothing but poor sp rtsmanship. 'Balking' isn't any barometer of facts regarding a game, but only the sentiment of a g oup prejudiced for their team. Kirk land isn’t elated, simply because Bernt is disgt tinted. Don’t be discouraged Be; nc, for the Kangaroos are going tr win two more games of basketball ot January 20. —Caminbak Atn.”

Whtn Cbaches Get Together Four of the country's most successful football coaches got together recently and among ether subjects dis- ! cussed was: \ "Tile Greatest Player I Ever Coached." When I tell von (bat th> cmche-: wore Ktiute Rockne, Tad and Howard J . a.I i' ■■■ V. -I- 1 11 ' '"' to luftsider i.e «‘ n skin who have played under these football emperors, yon will appreciate what it means to have such first-hand judgment tn such a subject. First of all. Tad Jones' choice may surprise you, although it didn't surprise me. The Vale coach named Bruce Caldwell. “Just about as great a back as 1 ever saw or heard of." said Tad, referring to the youngster who was rendered ineligible just before the major games of his last season. Kicker, passer, ball carrier, blocker, and tackler. Caldwell could do just abcut everything in as clean cut fashion with more drive and energy and accuracy than an.' back of the year. If I were selecting an All-American eleven based upon my own opinion. Bruce Caldwell would be first choice. Well, after Tad Jones had surprised everyone by naming Caldwell, it was generally expected that "Pop" Warner would name Jim Thorpe, the mighty lAdian. But "Pop” said, no that Ernie Nev-

The Southern Qilitorniu captain did not set the stands on fire with his performance in the Notre Dame game. He kicked well, alternating with Jess Hibbs, who is real All America, 1 passed and started like a streak of lightning from punt sot mation. But he did not seem nt home on the slippery field, ho fumbled a couple of times. , and he missed the kick which would ■ have meant least a tie for the TroI jans. * - 1 Knute Rockite agreed that the late | George Gipp was his greatest gridiron production. Os all the stars turned cut by the master astronomer of Notre' Dame. Gipp shone most brightly. They would make quite a backfield, these four Motley Drury at quarterback. Caldwell and Gipp half-backs and Nevers fullback. I do not think Drury quite belongs in that company. The Trojan captain and his teammates were somewhat over-rated this year, in my opinion. Notre Dame took their measure at Soldier Field, outplaying them in every department.
