Galaxy of Gridders

By Billy Evans ffINEA Service Sports Editor N making my all-American selections for 1926 I have been guided by the judgment of forty of the leading coaches of the United States, hailing from all sections of the country. Perhaps as many officials have offered words of wisdom. At the ends I have named Oosterbaan of Michigan and AVinslett of Alabama. While Oosterbaan didn’t play up to his high standard before eastern critics jn the game with the Navy, he is a brilliant end, just as good as last season, when he was named for the same position. Alabama .Star Versatile Winslett of Alabama is my other choice. He Is a mighty versatile chap, who has alternated at end and full. He is a most skillful end, wonderful passer, and can hit the line With the sting of Joesting of Minnesota. Hanson of Syracuse, Shipkey of Stanford, Broda of Brown and Bacchus of Missouri were four other great wingmen, who by many other experts probably will be rated higher than the two players I selected for my ends. Boeringer of Notre Dame is placed pt center, with Butler of Pennsylvania a mighty close second. Klein pf Ohio State is placed on the third team. Captain Wickhorst of the Navy Is pt great tcakle. There is no getting prway from him. He played a marvelous game against the Army In the Bnal tilt of the season. Northwestern Tackle The other tackle is more or less debatable. 1 have given it to Johnson of Northwestern, whom I regard Us the best tackle in the Big Ten. Northwestern tied Michigan for the Western Conference championship, hud the line play of Johnson was.a pig factor. Nelson of lowa probably Is Johnson’s equal, but being on a losing mam his work did not show to the advantage of the Northwestern tackle. For my guards I have selected Donnaughto, the "Man Mountain’’ of Georgetown, and Shively of Illinois. jMost of the experts will agree on Uie Georgetown star, but there Is jrure to be much difference of opin lon on Shively. "He Is one of the greatest guards t ever have seen in action,’’ was the Comment of Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois rs to Shively, and take it from me, “Zupp" has developed tnany a good guard. In the Ohio State-Illinois game Bess perhaps outplayed Shively a trifle, but on the year’s play I would Bay Shively has done the better Work. While Hess has played well |n the two games I saw him play, (lldn’t seem as If he was up to last fear’s high mark. Two Cinch Bets Friedman and Joesting are cinch bets for two of the back Held positions. Friedman has been the dominant factor in Michigan’s sucbess, while Joesting at full has been practically unstoppable nil season. Kaer of Southern California, and (dike Wilson of Lafayette are placed lit the two half back positions. Kaer pas been the coast sensation of the fear In football, while Mike Wilson Is the leading point-scorer of th** fcast, the star of Lafayette’s undefeated eleven. Choosing between Moon Baker, Wilcox, and Wilson of Lafayette is merely a toss-up, but not rfcsiring (o have my back field top-heavy with Big Ten stars, Friedman and Joesting already have been named, I have given Wilson the preference. l&VTlcox of Purdue I believe worthy |>f a second team berth in the back field. If I were a coach, any one of the ffcree teams that I have named, with the assistance of the game’s Uading coaches and officials, would Suit me.

do in this point, having their gridiron campaigns for next fall just about settled, but they have several Indiana schools on the lists and something that might he said about them may prove interesting before nightfall Saturday. At the present time it would appear a 1937 battle between Purdue and Wabash is out of the question, and it may be that Athletic Director Clevenger and Coach Page of Indiana and Coach Vaughan and Athletic Director Scholler of Wabash will get together and make a 1927 feature game read Scarlet vs. Crimson. The other schools, especially the small ones, have much work to accomplish. State Track Meet Next of interest is the awarding of the annual State college track meet. Purdue has been taking the meet, but it is believed likely that some other school, perhaps Indiana, will petition for the 1927 event. Then there is the college relays, held by schools not under the freshmen rule. Russell Cook, athletic director at Danville Normal, entertained the meet last year and because of the central location it is believed he will he urged to hold the game again next spring. However, it is thought John George, director at Indiana Central, might he asked to stage the games qt the Indian State fairground. PLENTY OF LETTERS Bv United Press NEW YORK.

SPEED UP IS WORD IN SPORT \ Methods Sought to Hurry Things Along in Football and Baseball. Hu l tilled Press NEW YOilK. Dec. 3 Major league club owners at the coming annual meetings may discuss the complaints against the intentional pass and consider other means of speeding up baseball. Football leaders at about the same time will be hearing a cry for the elimination of the huddle system and for the Imposition of added obligations on the officials to keep the teams going. The tutentlonal pass has its technical advantages and from tlie playing end of baseball it is a valuable strategy, hut it is a matter of record that the paying customers do not like to see Babe Ruth and other star batters deprived of a chance to hit. Properly npplied the Middle system has great advantages and becomes almost a necessity In cases where the quarter back can’t make himself heard above the noise V>f the crowd. But when used for the purpose of stalling It Is a distinct menace to fast football Hard to Find Baseball and football leaders admit the necessity of reform, hut practical corrective measures are almost impossible to find. If football games are to be finished before darkness, either the games will have to !>e started sooner or the officials will have to he equipped with better rules to keep the players going. During the last five minutes of the Army-Navy game It was so dark on the field the players hardly could be seen from the stands. Such conditions not only work against proper enjoyment of the game, hut Imperil the safety of gtv-at crowds who have to pfek their way out of a huge, dark stadium. The rules provide penalties now against stalling, hut complaints have been heard that officials are too lenient and that in many cases where
