PLAYING AFIELD with Billy Evansr—IOTICE where Coach Alonzo \T Stagg of Chicago says he |I v 1 wouldn’t pick a mythical All-American football team for a million dollars. All of which may be true, but X would hate to have anyone offer him that much money. Stagg is perfectly correct in saying no one man can pick an AllAmerica. Asa

matter of fact, Walter Camp had built up a system whereby he had assistance from at least a score of the leading grid experts scattered oil over the country. I happen to know a prominent sports writer whom Camp depended on for his selection of any

Evans

Big players, believed to be up to All-America standards. While there probably never will be another football selection that will have quite the standing of the men named by Walter Camp, the public likes to peruse such copy and the picking of All-America footbaJ teams has become a national institution. * * * However, I dare any capitalist to offer any one a cool million, not excepting Mr. Stagg, for picking an All-America team and not be taken up on the proposition. * * * RUTH’S ALL-STAR TEAM Every year Babe Ruth picks an All-America baseball team. In reality this team is selected by a number of the leading baseball writ-/ ers and then by Ruth. That the professional ball player has his vain moments as well as the collegian is proved by the way the big league stars look forward to the naming of Ruth’s team. It seems the sports writers were unable to agree on who was the best catcher in the American League. It was all even between Cochrane of the Athletics, Muddy Ruel of Washington and Luke Sewell of Cleveland. When the line-up finally appeared Ruel, who had been picked for the 1926 team, was again honored by being awarded the position of catcher. It Is said that since the writers were unable tt> agree, Ruth, himself, named Ruel as the best of the trio of stars. • * * TOO MANY CURVES ET generally was believed by the players that Mickey Cochrane of the Athletics, who had the best year of his career, would be given the preference. I am inclined to think that even Mickey felt that way about it. On the Philadelphia club are two of the best lefthanders in the game, “Lefty” Grove and “Rube” Walberg. Both boast a curve ball that is almost unhittable for a lefthander. As one would expect, any time Ruth came to bat, both Walberg and Grove fed him a curve ball diet exclusively. “So the Babe passed you up!” said Joe Dugan of the Yanks, in a joshing way, to Cochrane the last time the two clubs met. “Yes, and I know why,” replied Mickey. “I signaled for too many curve balls any time he came to the bat.”

Garland Grange Is Newest Hero at U. of Illinois; Wins Laurels at End

Brother of Famous ‘Red’ Plays Important Part in Defeat of Wolverines; Great Defensive Performer.

Bn United Press ... „ . urkana, ill, Nov. I.—The University of Illinois campus again resounds with praise of a redheaded football player named Grange. This time the praise is for Garland (Pinky) Grange, brother of Harold, who starred with Illinois for three years and then, under the direction of C. C. Pyle turned his football fame into dollars. The younger alertness and fleetness played an important part in Illinois’ defeat of Michigan last Saturday. “Pinky” caught the opening kickoff and carried it out twenty yards when the game opened. In 1923 “Red” ran Michigan’s opening kickoff down the field for a touchdown. Pinky was down under a punt which Puckelwartz of Michigan fumbled in the second quarter, and

Herb Joesting, “Mally” Nydahl and “Shorty” Almquist, for their drive against the Rockne team. GILBERT BACK IN ANN ARBOR, Mich.. Nov.

New passing formations with Gilbert and Oosterbaan playing leading roles are expected. LET-UP FOR BADGERS Bn United Press MADISON, Wis„ Nov.

fell on it on the Wolverine sevenyard line. This paved the way for a touchdown. He snagged passes, he blocked a punt, and playing in the backfield on defense, he smashed play after play as he backed up the line. “Pinky” plays end where “Red” played half back, and therefore has not quite as much opportunity to shine. Where his brother, Harold, was flashy, Garland is workmanlike. Where “Red” mainly was an offensive threat, “Pinky” is a valuable man on defense. This is the third season the younger Grange has tried for a place on the Illinois team. In “Red’s” last year Garland was out for the team, but recurrence of a high school injury to his shoulder bothered him, and he dropped out of school. The same thing occurred in 1926. The shoulder then was operated on. People began to say “Pinky” was a “flop”—that he was trying to live on his brother’s reputation. He decided to show them. He played good football against Ames and against Northwestern this year, but it was against Michigan he found himself. He probably never will be the "Another Grange” —sought these many seasons on many football fields, but he has vindicated himself as a competent football player, and just about as good an end as there is in the Big Ten Conference.

Irish Face Minnesota; Boilermaker Squad .Opposes Northwestern Eleven. I. U. VS. MICHIGAN STATE Other Clashes Excite Interest of Fans. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Indiana’s horde of rabid followers of America’s national fall pastime are griding themselves for another strenuous football week-end, one of those Friday-Saturday mixtures not nearly so strenuous on the gridiron teams as on the cash customers, dopsters and average run of fans. Headlining the list of attractions comes the Notre Dame-Minnesota and Purdue-Northwestern clashes. The Rockmen are getting prepared for a real battle as the Gophers are doped to have reached their full strength and the battering of Herb Joesting and his mates may have much to do with Rockne’s hopes for the naticnal mythical football crown. Purdue apparently has struck its stride once more and may knock the Wildcats for a few loop-the-loops in in Saturday’s act in the Ross-Ade stadium in Lafayette. Unknown Quantity Pat Page’s Indiana University eleven will face an unknown quantity in the Michigan State squadron and the Bloomington eleven is taking no chances on being taken by surprise and forced to execute a nose-dive at the hands of the visitors. Michigan £tate lost to Michigan “U” 21 to 0 early in the season. Both Wabash and DePauw will journey out-State for their weekend entertainment white the Butter Bulldogs, profiting with an open date, will act as spectators at the I. U.-Michigan State tilt. Wabash will tangle with the Sturdy Bradley Tech warriors at Peoria, 111., while the Methodists will head to the land of Dixie for a clash with the Georgetown, Ky., gridders. Rivalry Tangle A little rivalry affair will be enacted at Richmond Saturday between the Franklin and Earlhrm clcatmen. The Baptists are overwhelming favorites while the Quark - ers are determined to carve a nick into the dope bucket. Three of Hoosierdom’s secondary squads will engage in Friday conflicts. Hanover will mix with Indiana Central, Indianapolis, and Central Normal will invade the home of Oakland City while Muncie will play host to the Cedarville, Ohio, scrappers. Other Saturday acts on the gridiron will see Indiana State Normal clashing with Eastern Illinois mal at Terre Haute, and Valparaiso at Manchester.

Mike, Mickey m Trim for Bout Tonight Walker to Invade Light Heavy Ranks in Chicago Ring. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Nov. I.—Mickey Walker, world’s middleweight champion, tonight goes out of his class to meet Mike McTigue; former light heavyweight title holder, in a bout which will settle nothing in particular, but promises to be one of Chicago’s most colorful fistic attractions. No title will be at stake and the men will box at catchweights. For Walker, the fight will furnish an indication of what he may expect if he carries through his contemplated task of becoming a light heavyweight. For McTigue it will be Just another chance to make some money. It is their second meeting. They fought a twelve-round no-decision contest in 1925. Opinion was divided over the outcome of this bout. Both fighters are hard right hand hitters and McTigue probably will rely on this to win, for it is conceded the younger Mickey can outbox the veteran. Walker is obsessed with the idea he can whip any of the lightheavys and if he wins tonight intends immediately issuing challenges to Jimmy Slattery and Tommy Loughran, claimants of the title. Walker expects to weigh 165 pounds; McTigue, 175. On the Rialto, McTigue is a 6 to 5 favorite. The bout seems to be a case of a good little man against a good though aged big man.
