TIMES ANNUAL ALL-STATE ELEVENS NAMED—BIG PREPARATIONS FOR THURSDAY GAME HERE

Five Colleges Honored on 1920 First Mythical Team Notre Dame and Indiana Each Get Four Places on Times Choice—Purdue, Wabash and De Pauw Also Represented—Butler, Yalpo and Franklin Break in on Second Squad—Excellent Talent Plentiful and Placing Many Stars Proves Task. By HEZE CLARK. With only a few Thanksgiving day football games remaining on the schedule of the Indiana college teams, the curtain is about to ring down on the most successful year of the gridiron sport io the Hoosier State Football I’ans in all parts of Indiana are turning tlieir attention to the all-State possibilities and the critics are wondering how many "storms of disapproval” they will stir up in naming an all-Indiana eleven.

Many football critic* never name a player for an all-State place In a position that he does not really play, and therefore, many times the best possible all-State team is not selected. The writer, however, in selecting the Daily Times all-State team looks over the athletes on every college eleven In the State, pees them In action, talks to coaches, players, officials and followers of the game, and then selects the all-State team Just as he would If all the college players were on one football field and the writer was a coach picking his team to ester a game. To he sore there will be some men In guard positions crowded on to the second team when tackles are placed in the guard positions of the first all-State squad, but then It must be remembered that the effort Is to name the best allaround football team combined from the players of the various colleges. OGDEN LANDS CENTER BERTH. Ted Ogden, captain at De Pauw University, stood out as the greatest center of the season. The Tiger leader not only was the most perfect passer, but never once did he take time out. Ogden Is the fK*t?st center and surest tackier of any center on any eleven In the State. He Is a man with real football brains. Ogden matched against Weaver the Centre College (Ky.) man named by Walter Camp as all-American center iast year, outplayed Weaver. Ogden Is easily the first choice for center. Coach Pat Page at Butler had an evenlv balanced team which won most of its games, but Pnge developed but one star who was really close to allState caliber, and that man was H. Dut-

Times All-State College Selections First Choice. Position. Second Choice. E. Anderson (Notre Dame)... Left End Ecklund (Valparaiso) Risley (Indiana) Left Tackle Shaw (Notre Dfime) Birk (Purdue) Left Guard Smith (Notre Dame) Ogden (De Pauw) Center H. Duttenhaver (Butler) F. Coughlin (Notre Dame).. RightGuard Mumby (Indiana) Mllstead (Wabash) Right Tackle Clay poo! (Purdue) Hannv (Indiana) Right End Kiley (Notre Dame) Mathys (Indiana) Quarter Back Kingsolver (Franklin) Girp (Notre Dame) Left Half Minton (Indiana) Barry (Notre Dame) Right Half Galloway (De Pauw) Kyle (Indiana) Full Back Thompson (Wabash)

tenhaver, who is named as the second best center tu Indiana. Larsen, Notre Dame, and Stanwood of Purdue, are,both shifty middle meu who can pass and who are aggressive. Pierce of Indiana is a big man, by far tbe largest center man in the State, but the day when size ma le centers the best players is past and smaller men who move fast seem to be the type used by the most successful teams. Pierce is a good passer. Four ♦ackle* appear to be far ahead of tbe other line men playing guard and tackle, and these four athletes are named as the guards and tackles on the AllState. Birk, the aggressive Purdue tackle star, Is named as a guard, and F. Coughlin, the giant Notre Dame line man. Is selected as the other guard. Itisley, Indiana's man wltn the educated toe that booted a piace kick against Notre Dame and defeated Purdue and Northwestern with pia-e kicks, is named as the left tackle. Mllstead, the giant Wabash tackle. Is without question one of the best line men playing in the State end the big athlete deserves a tackle position on the all-State team. Ml-'stead is not only a terrific charger but he has speed with his height and weight and dashes down the th Id like an end. OTHER STRONG STATE LINEMEN. Mumby of Indiana, and Smith of Notre Dame ere men who played guard for their colleges during the season and they are placed cn the second mythical eleven. Smith's speed at getting down under punts makes him one of the best guards in the West, but he would not be equal to either Coughlin or Birk. H. Anderson of Notre Dame Is another aggressive guard. Johnson, the giant Karlham B n:, rd. deserves honorable mention. McCaw, named by many critics as AUCouference guard. Is not as good a line man us his team-mate, Mumby, in tho opinion of the writer. McCaw is a high grade line man, but the men named ou the first and second all-State teams, the writer believes, are better. Aul of Wabash is a tackle who plays bard til the time. Van Devoort, the big De Pauw tackle, failed to perform well In the Wabash game because of an Injury to his shoulder received early in the contest, but In ell other games he showed as a strong, aggressive Hue man. Omer and Sawyer of Valparaiso University are powerful line men. Shaw of Notre Dame and Claypool of Purdue are named as the second all-State tackles. Schell of Butler Is another aggressive tackle who deserves mention. Shaw of Notre Dame had his brilliant games and no doubt will make a strong bid for first all-State honors next fall. Cash of Wabanh, a guard, deserves special mention because of his size and fighting Qualities. At end the play of E. Anderson stamps him at the best of the wing men. The Notre Dame end was fast under punts and forward passes, a sure tackier and a power on defense. It is a close choice between Hanny of Indiana and ICiley of Notre Dame for the other first team end position; but the play of Hannv on defense is slightly stronger than that of Kilc7 and the Indiana man Is selected as an all-State end. He is also a line plunger of ability when called back for a buck. Ecklund, younger brother of the famous Minnesota tackle, is playing with Valparaiso and he is given second allState end. Ecklund, tall and a sure handler of forward passes, has the advantage of being one of the best place kickers and punters in th* West. AMONG THE OTHER STAR WING MEN. Mendenhall of De Pauw deserves special mention. Coach Buss developed far better ends this season than last Tear at the Tiger school. Stasand, the tall Wabash end, wus unlucky in handling passes in the game against De Panw, ! but the tall athlete is one of the best 1 man in his position In the State, especially on defense. In Strohl the Franklin College team had an end that would class with many on the big teams. No end cou'd go down tile field faster on punts or tackle surer or harder. Goheen j of Valparaiso is another defense star, i and Carmen of Purdue is a high-class end man. as be proved in tho Indiana - game. Bookont, the Earlham star end man, deserves special mention for his defensive play. With a line that would equal any that could be selected In the West, the allIndiana team is fortunate in having one of the best quarter backs in tho country Last year the play of Mathys was a disappointment in many of the hardest games, but not so this season. Tba little Indiana field general handled his team la t way that should make him class with

the best quarter backs in the great college sport. He can drop kick, nnd his defensive play, especially at breaking up forward passes hi the Notre Dame and Purdue games, earns him the all-State quarter position. Once in a while there appear* on a team which is far from strong a player who Is the superman of his school, and without whom the team would have won almost no games. Such a mau was Kiugsolver, the Franklin quarter back. Kingsolver, speedy, a sure passer, a drop kicker and wonderful open field runner, was also a defensive star and a real field general. On a team of higher rating he surely would have won his way to greater honors. He was the marked man in every game Franklin played. Kingsolver Is named as the second best quarter back in the State. Brandy of Notre Dame, a great field general and forward passer, la given special mention. Tho play of Brown, the Butler quarter, was an Important factor In that team's work until late in the season, when tbe little star suffered a broken leg in the Franklin game. Macklin, the Purdue quarter, was a good passer and possessed of exceptional generulship. GirP DESERVES HIGH HONORS. George Gipp of Notre Dame, is so far ahead of other back field men In this State and In fact In oil parts of the country. He not only dc-servea his position as the best half back in Indiana, but should be named as a half back on the All-American team. To say that Glpp, king of tbe forward pass game, was one of the greatest open field runr.ers in the country Is putting It mildly. When Indiana played Notre Dacie the Bloomington athletes played Gipp, and

when Gipp left the game Barry entered and advanced the ball for a series of gains that won for Notre Dame. Barry is given the other first ail-stat* half back position because of his super ballcarrying ability In the pinch. Mohardt, another Notre Dame half back. It given honorable mention and classes with the best backs. He la strong ou defense and gave Gipp good interference. Barry was Coach Kockue's ace In the hole, however, when Notre Dame faced trouble. Minton, the star half back at Indiana and the speedy Galloway of De Pauw, are , named as the second team all-State half ! backs. Galloway’s long droy kick won the De Pauw victory over Wabash with ! only about one minute to play and Gat-b-way is one of tho best open field runners in the West. What of Williams of Indiana? That question has worried the coaches at Bloomington and l as caused more comment than any other question of the 10130 football season. In .Sh.rldan High ■School Williams for four years w*s the best high school half back In the state. , The big blonde-haired athlete last year . was an all-State college selection by all critics. Early this year Conch Stlehru seemed to be building bis team around Williams and then eometbing kapj pened. Williams no longer was beard !of as the star of every game. William* | failed to show the all-State stuff in the 1 big games this year. The writer does : nto pretend to explain why Williams was : not the player that every critic expected i him to be during tbe 1920 season, but ! there have been other player* who have l shown wonderful stuff for a year or o in college and then dropped back In the I later years of their athletic efforts. Just another one of those unexplainable slumps seems to fit Williams' case. BLTLE& HALF | COMING BTKONO. McCafflin of Butler is a shifty back ! field man and galued much ground for bis team. Another season he will De In tho ail-State class. Eugiebard of Rose Poly Is a real half back when he 1* going good, but he had little chance this seasou, for Bose Poly failed to play real | football. Rate of Purdue was a valtiable man for hts team and his kicking made Purdue many yards. r l hfee great full backs played In the | State this season. Dandaiet If Valparaiso was probably the best, but he was i Injured in the Harvard game and be ; was never able to play up to standard again. Dandaiet was knocked out tho first down of the De Pauw game and ee-nt to the side lines with a twisted j knee. The best full back who played consistent football from start to finish of the season, always fast and reliable, was Kyle of Indiana. He Is everything a real full back should be and Is named as the best man playing that position In the State. Thompson, the aggressive, ; fast charging, heard-tackling Wabash College captain. Is given Second allI tate full back place. W. Kiser, who has been elected as next year's Butler ; captain. Is giVen honorable mention as a full back. Murphy of Purdue is a clever player, but a little light for full , back. Wynne of Notre Daino displayed good form and Castner also. Schmidt, playing his first year at De Pauw, 1b among the best defensive men among tbe full backs, but he lacks experience and does not come through with the brilliant offense that Is expected of nn all-State mun. Schmidt, however, Is one of the most promising back field men on any college team In tho Btate and is bound to improve with experience. Indianapolis Grid Team Prepares for Gary Fray The Indianapolis Football Club will run through some hard practice drills this week In preparation* for the State professional championship game with the Gary Elks at Gary Sunday. Manager .Too Canning will have his squad out for scrimmage nhd Riguhi drill on tbe Fall Creek boulevard field tomorrow night, a light, signal drill will be held Thursday and the team will scrimmage Friday night.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1920.

NEW PLAN FOR BASKET MEET Regional Title Play to Eliminate Gjcjnd on Contestants in H. S. Tourney. Having assurance that the 1921 State high school basket-ball championship tournament will carry an entry Hat of approximately 600 team* and that this Jump would Increase the wear and tear of tournament play, as It has been held in the past, the board of control of the I. EL S. A. has decided on a change of program. The State will be divided into four regions for the tournament play, each region to hold eight sectional tourneys on March 4 and 6. Completion of this sectional play will leave thirty-two beams in the running, eight from each of four districts. Then, on March 12, these thirty-two sectional winners will be' divided Into two groups of sixteen each, and tournaments will be held, probably at Indiana and Purdue Universities. One round of game* will be played in this series, causing the elimination of sixteen of the thirty-two sectional champions, and leaving the remaining sixteen to play In tho State tournament finals at the State Fair Grounds Coliseum in this erty on March 18 and 19. Centers for the play have not yet been announced, but the board of control plana to get this matter straightened out in a short time, as this year's tournament will be better and larger than any ever conducted by the I. H. S. A. A., the biggest high school atehletlc association In the world. It has not been definitely decided that Indiana and Furdue will accept the regional championship games, but negotiations are under way and something definite will be week. The Idea of the board lu rearranging this tournament plan was to get away from the plan of having one team play perhaps three or four guinea In one day. probably on tbe day It play* for the State laurel*. This is not only a physical drawback for the youngsters but It also takes speed out or the playing. This year the chnraplonshlp team will Clay nine five days. Four will a played In tbe sectional*, one In the regional play and four in tne final play here. No team will play more than two games In one day. This present schedule will take care of 612 teams, with game* played as mentioned.

Purdue Organizes Still Hunt for Another Coach LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 23—Purdue University’s Alumni Association and the athletic administration are working hand In hand to get the best football coach obtainable for next vear. Arthur G. Scanlon, coach for three years, is no longer at Purdue, having left after the Indiana game. Although Purdue has had msny disastrous football seasons, the future Is more hopeful because of the united stand of alumni, faculty and athletic authorities In the movement to solve the problem. There la no conflrmut'on of the report that Coach Knuto ltockne of Notre Dame has been offered the berth, but there Is considerable sentiment here In favor of Roekne. Purduo will lose few of its 1029 regulars. Ohio State Not Adverse to Playing Coast Game COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23.—Athletic officials nt Ohio State University denied today the report that they liavo been negotiating with the University of Okla horaa for a game here next Saturday. Prof. Thomas E. French, head of the Ohio State Athletic Board, said : "There Is no possibility of a game between Ohio State and Oklahoma.’* If an Invitation is extended Ohio State to send Its championship team to the coast for a New Year’s day game with the Pacific coast title winners, the Buckeyes probably will accept.

Notre Dame Grooms Men to Down Aggies in Final Grid Fray NOTRE DAME Ind., Nov. 23.—Notr© Dame will seek its eighteenth consecutive gridiron victory when It meets tho Michigan Aggies at East Lansing Thanksgiving day. Tho Aggies are the only team that has beaten tho Irishmen sinco Koute Rockne became their coach. Wynne, hard-hitting full back, will be out of tbe Notre Damo line-up with a broken wrist. Castner or Phelan will replace him. Harvard Coach Suggests Forward Pass Be Curbed of Basket-ball Tendency BOSTON, Nov. 23.—A suggestion for curbing the forward pass, to prevent development of present day football into a game more nearly resembling basketban, baa been advanced by Percy D. Ilaugbton, founder of Harvard’s gridiron coaching system. "Instead of having an incompleted forward pass revert to the team which started tba play, make a forward pass blocked behind the throwers’ line of scrimmage subject to recovery by opponents under the stme condition as a blocked kick,” is Huugh ton’s idea. "If you allow the blocked forward pass to be recovered behind the line of scrimmage, ns a blocked kick I*. you force tho offense to protect the thrower just ns it must protect the kicker," said Haughton. "Instead of having five meu eligible to receive a puss, and tn a dangerous position, you will have but three, possibly two. “Why restrict the forward pass? It la not football, and gradually the game will stray farther away from tbe fundamental aspects arid become a combination of bas-ket-ball aud baseball.” Cubs Deny Red Deal CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—Officials of the Chicago Cuba vigorously denied today that a trade is In prospect whereby Grover Alexander, pitcher; Charles Hollocher, shortstop, and a couple of unnamed Cub* were to be traded to Cincinnati for HoiuJe Groh, Dutch Heuther, Earle Neale and Larry Kopf. “We wouldn't trad# Alexander and Ilollocher for the whole Clii'lnnatl team,” Johnny Zya, secretary of the Cuba. said. It was admitted, however, that several deals are on the fire by which It I* hoped to give Johnny Evers, now Cub manager, e strong team to pilot.

CLOSE OF PREP GRIDIRON CARD Tech and Shortridge Meet Tomorrow to Decide City Championship Honors. A full-fledged grid fight between Shortridge and Technical on Irwin field, Irvington, tomorrow afternoon will bring to a close the 1920 high school football season In Indianapolis. And a highly successful season it has been. Football waa an entirely new subject to men in the Indianapolis high schools, coaches exeopted, this year, but when the school board ruled that the grid ban of thirteen years should be lifted, pupils, faculty and alumni swung together in trying to make the game a success in its Infancy, and they have certainly succeeded, if such a thing is possible. fciome high-class football teams have been turned oat nt Manual, Shortridge nnd Tech this season, regardless of the fact that the majority of those youths are playing a game that a few short weeks ago they had hardly heard tell of. Tho race between the three local teaui9 has been close, and tomorrow It will be decided whether the three of them stack up even-all, oi whether Tech has the best eleven of the lot. Tech has already defeated Manual, and Manual has defeated Shortridge, therefore, If Shortridge can defeat Tech tomorrow afternoon. It will bo one won and one lost for everybody. Th# fact that Tech beat Manual and Manual beat Shortridge is not causing any great deal of talk among the followers of the three teams. It is a certainty that th# Manual lads fumbled when they played Tech, whereas they were playing great football, the kind that would have made Tech show more than It ever has, the day Shortridge went down In a heap.
