Shortridge and Tech Among Nine Schools Honored on Times All-State

Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

XTEW YORK, Dec. 11.—They are iN doing strange things in Boston. They-re trying to reconstruct the 1914 Brave#. This was the team, you’ll recall, that came from last place in July, won the league pen-

nant and then beat the Athletics four in a row in the world series. No team ever wrote a more dramatic chapter in the records of the game than the inspired men of George Stallings. After a brief season of and eliri ous supremacy came a long, unbroken run of grief and melan-

, Joe Williams

choly, during which all that remained of a once glittering baseball prestige was carried out to sea. Any number of experiments, ranging from awesome spiritual rituals to the application of hot mustard poultices, have been tried, but the only noticeable progress has been in the wrong direction. n tt tt A year ago a grand gesture was „ made in the signing of Rogers Hornsby to play second la.se at $42,000 a year, which was more money than the team was accustomed to collecting at the cash Kiosks over a three-months stretch. tt tt tt AT the time the team had a • manager in the person of -Tack Slattery, one of the town toys and a good egg who was well liked by the mixed population of Bradys, Flatterys, O’Briens, Murphys, the Burkes and Connollys so conspicuously peculiar to the social and civic life of the place. n n n The season hadn’t gone very many weeks before Judge Fuchs established Hornsby as manager as well as second baseman, possibly on the theory that when a second-baseman insists on running the ball club anyway he ought to be allowed to do so with ’ the usual formal touches. nun THIS move had no material effect on the artistic features of the club, largely due to an almost complete dearth of artistic features in the beginning, but the abrupt shift from a Slattery to a Hornsby did cut sharply into the gate receipts. n n n Well, all that this meant was the judge was face to face with another situation, and that something would have to be done about it. There is one thing about the judge, situations do not floor him; in fact they do not even stagger him- He stands up well under the most brutalizing situations. To his credit, too, it must be written he has a novel way of meeting them. nun THIS year, as mentioned somewhere earlier in these lines, he is reconstructing the old 1914 Braves. The judge is strictly a fundamentalist. Apparently he argues that if the Braves of 1914 were good enough for the people then they are good enough for them now. Accordingly he has signed Johnny Evers, who played second on that team. Rabbit Maranville who played short, and Hank Gowdy. who did the catching and most of the hitting, especially in the world series. n n n ANY DAY NOW YOU MAY EXPECT TO READ THAT HE HAS SIGNED RUDOLPH, JAMES AND TYLER. THE THREE PITCHERS. WHO BORE THE BRUNT OF THE TEAM'S FLAG FIGHT. tt tt tt Tt is also learned on very swank and fashionable authority that the judge has despatched scouts to sundry and divers homes for the aged and infirm for the purpose of mobilizing ail the surviving veterans of the T 4 campaign. Older and better ivory is his motto.

Ennis and Brown Placed With Miller’s First Team in Choice of Gvid Stars Clinton and Froebel of Gary Only Squads Represented by More Than One Warrior; Resume Shows Prep Football Season Best Ever in Hoosierdom. BY DICK MILLER The 1928 parade of the “elite” of Indiana high school football is presented by The Times today* Nine schools are represented on the first eleven, Clinton and Froebel of Gary, each winning two positions. Two Indiananpolis luminaries, Ennis of Shortridge and Brown of Technical, also garner berths on the mythical first-string squad.

Although the majority of Indiana's high school players never reached the goal of consideration they proved that prep football in Hoosierdom not only is growing in numbers of players but in the quality of football played. Jackson Great End Jackson, of Froebel, again demonstrated that he is a great end. He led his team to the championship of the northern Indiana “Big Fifteen Conference.” Ennis, Shortridge, wingman, was stronger than ever this fall. He was an outstanding player on the city championship team and was consistently good. Ennis’ defensive work all season was perfect. Shannon, of, Clinton, a great forward pass receiver, also loomed as a great end. Maguire of Central of Evansville, is a great tackle. Brown of Technical is just as big in size and just as powerful in competition and was, without doubt, one of the mainstays in the Technical lineup. His defensive work was splendid. Vogel of Hammond and Paulson of South Bend took the first string guard positions. It was extremely difficult to select the other players for the first three teams because of almost equal ability. A host of great pivot men were found over the State. Besides Delich of Froebel, the first choice, and Childers and Reed, almost every man on the honorable mention list was a great center. Marsh Tops Quarters There were really three outstanding quarter backs and the difference in the play of the trio was found to exist because of playing with stronger teams. Marsh of Clinton, first choice, was the brains of the great Clinton squad. Burnett was an outstanding man in the north and Page was a fine leader at Bloomington. Cogan of Clinton probably was

Robbie Still in Saddle at Brooklyn

Up U nited Press NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—A scheduled meeting of directors of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball • teams failed to materialize Monday, bu* developments indicate that Wilbert Robinson has no idea of resigning as president-manager of the club.

Unless the meeting is held within a week, it probably will be put off until next May.

the most versatile half back in the State and did some great work all season. Hoffman gained much ground for Elkhart. Going through the list of backs you will find many great ball carriers who need to develop versatility. Dornte Great Performer The lack of plunging full backs this fall was noted. Central of Fort Wayne played a 12-game schedule and lost to but one Indiana team. Dornte, the first team full back, led the squad and was a fine kicker, good plunger, excellent signal caller and a perfect blocker. It is pleasing to note the improvement in the game in Indiana and such progress is certain to aid the college teams. Undoubtedly in the years to come, many of the names listed in the selections will be emblazoned on the sports pages of the country as star college players. 96 Teams In Field Records of A. L. Trester, secretary of the Indiana State High School Association, show that in September ninety-six schools equipped football teams. These squad o were of various sizes, ranging from twelve at Milford to 102 at Tech. It is estimated prep school football has increased nearly 50 per cent in five years. The majority of teams this season were in northern Indian?., likewise the majority of the outstanding gridders hailed from that section. The sport is on the increase in other sections, however, and increasing rapidly, as records of certain teams indicate. Clinton, Froebel of Gary, Shortridge and Monticello were undefeated in Hoosier football. Other strong elevens were Hammond, South Bend, Elkhart, Central of Ft. Wayne, Technical and Central of Evansville.
