ALL-STATE HIGH SCHOOL STARSARE SELECTED Dick Miller Names Teams; McConnell Given Mention (Editor's note: For many years Dick Miller, veteran Indianapolis sports writer and football official, has selected the annual all-state high school football teams. His 1938 teams that apear in this issue have been compiled after traveling from one end of the state to the other, watching the prep stars in action or through nominations by coaches that were later checked against information submitted by scoots. Several of the players selected by Miller in past years not only entered college and were football stars but several gained all American team recognition.(Special to the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis. Dec. 13. —More outstanding high school football players performed on Hoosier gridirons during the season just closed than in any two previous fall campaigns. Such is the opinion of the writer after concluding a search among more than 7.300 prep grid warriors for talent for the 1938 all-state mythical team selections. , When the season opened A. L. Trestor. commissioner of the I. H S'. A. A. announced that 98 member schools of that organization had filed parent and physician certificats indicating that 6,813 boys were out for the popular fall sport. Augmented by some 500 boys who played with private school teams that follow I. H. S. A. A. eligibility rules, the total was boosted to more than 7,300. the largest number ever to participate in football in Indiana. In presenting the 1938 all-State

Saturday Jefferson at Hartford. teams, also the statement that more outstanding football players were in existence than ever before, we offer the following explanation. Scouts, coaches and officials agreed one hundred per cent that Bob Johnson of Emerson was the best center ever turned out of the Calumet district. And that amounts to something. It was even more unanimous that Billy Hillenbrand. the junior flash of Memorial of Evansville, is the best back ever ttinted out of the south. In fact some coaches claim he has enough talent toh old down two positions on an all-star team. Owen Evans of Riley. South Bend, scored on every opponent his team met this fall, and there were no setups ahead. Tony Berto. the driving back of Clinton, was lauded by all who saw him and Dale Swihart is given credit for being the king pin of the Elkhart team that hung up a splendid record. Everyone has a good word for Andy Mickels. Mishawaka guard, and as the word comes in. it seems everyone should be on team No. 1. Fans in the Valparaiso region swear that Robert Rhoda, great all-around back, could have been just as great on Emerson. Memorial. Elkhart or any other of the big teams. And how about Tom Chintis. the speed merchant of Hammond. said to be the greatest runner ever turned out up there. Over in the northeast they talk Bill Buffington of Peru and small team boosters certainly have material for an argument in Laurel Kinsey of Bluffton. Newcastle had several outstanding boys and so on down the line. It was nty good fortune during the fall to watch teams perform in every sector. Calumet district, South Bend area. Northeast, Central Indiana. Wabash Valley and far southwest. Yesterday Memorial of Evansville, was awarded the trophy “Triumph" by the writer and declared to be the “most outstanding” team of the 1938 season. The choice was made from a field of more than a dozen teams with records. But all the good players were not on those teams. The choice between players in the accompanying list was made on the basis of caliber of competition encountered. and the type football played in the various sections and along this latter line it was very

YANKEES,REDS FAVORITES IN LEAGUE RACES Nation’s Sports Experts Pick Next Year’s League Winners By Harry Ferguson. (VP. Sports Editor) (Copyright 1938 by VP.) New York. Dee. 13.- -(U.K) When the crowd sits tense and silent at the opening game of the world series next year, the words that will come through the loudspeaker, in the opinion of the nations sports editors, will be—- " Batteries for today s game — for the New York Yankees, Ruffing and Dickey; for the Cincinnati Reds. Vander Meer and Lombardi.” The Yankee and the Reds will win the American and National league pennants in the o'pinion of sports experts of the nation who participated in the United Press' annual year-end poll. They believe the Yankees will make another runaway race in the American lea- ' gue; they believe the Reds will win in another National league stretch fight involving the Cubs and Pirates. The one-two-three finish in the two leagues was predicted as follows: American National New York 1 Cincinnati Cleveland 2 Chicago Boston 3 Pittsburgh : Ninety-one per cent of the sports I editors voting favored the Yankees. victors in the last world series. to win the American league pennant again. Nine per cent thought the Indians would win and three per cent favored the Boston Red Sox. PURDUE TAKES OPENING GAME Defeats Monmouth; Bob Dro Stars As Indiana Triumphs Indianapolis. Dec. 13.—<U.R> —Purdue triumphed in its season inaugural. Indiana took its third straight, and Ball State and Anderson won Indiana college conference cage tilts last night. The Boilermaker five, showing occasional flashes of speed that brought them the big ten championship last season, downed Monmouth of Monmouth, 111., defending midwest conference champion. 36 to 26. in the Purdue fieldhouse. Capt. Gene Anderson, musky Purdue center, led scoring with six field goals and a free toss. I Fred Beretta, veteran guard, made , seven points and Dan Fisher, forward, six. Monmouth couldn’t halt the Boilermaker fast break. At Bloomington, the Hoosiers gained revenge for a defeat by Wabash in the last game played noticeable during the fall that the supremacy claimetT by the northern teams seems to be fading fast.

Jack Berns. Wabash forward, took high point honors with 10 points. Hoosier scoring was welldivided. Paul Armstrong and Bob Dro. forwards, making seven points each. Ball State’s Cardinals kept their conference record clean by defeating Earlham. 28 to 26. on the Richmond court.

Foreman was Jefferson’s leading scorer with three field goals and a free “throw tor seven points. o EUROPE HEADS ■ CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) man Empire is moving constantly closer to a struggle for control of the great inland sea which is j essential to Britain and France, i Although Italy is hardly serious at present in her unofficial campaign to annex French Corsica and Tunisia, she is serious in de-1 manding other concessions from: France and if she gains even partial control of the Mediterranean, Britain and France might be j fatally weakened. Mussolini, in addition to having | built up Italy’s submarine fleet, 1 now has three principal avenues! of attack. One is in Spain where i he has provided the backbone of, the insurgent armies and is aiding preparations for a drive intended to break the loyalists last line of defense. The second approach is at the i other end of the Mediterranean I where Italy is demanding a large : share in the control of the Suez i Canal and the transformation of French Djibouti into a free zone, i She already has Red Sea bases | i that could dominate traffic to i

Suez in event of war. The th rd is in the center of the Mediterranean, where Italian Sicily almost narrows the sea to a channel along the Tunisian coast. If Italy realized her aspiration to acquire Tunisia she would get Bizerta Bay. which is big enough to shelter the combined British and French fleets and. with Sici’y would command all sea traffic as effectively as Gibraltar has in the past. By the same token. Bizerta offsets Italy's Sicilian vantage point as long as it is In French hands and tnat is where the Faris ard London governments intend to keep it. In any event, Mussolini is now ready to give Britain and France a tirsl-class Mediterranean head, ache at any moment he chooses. o Brooklyn And Boston Bees Trade Players New York.
