Nine Teams Represented on Times All-State High School First Eleven

Horace Mann (Gary) Places Three Stars on Selection for 1929 Grid Campaign

Nylec, H. Johnson and Yards of Crack Gary Squad Picked in Mythical Hoosier Lineup; Young Pat Page, Bloomington, Named Quarter Back.

Hoosier prides—the prep stars of today and the college stars of tomorrow. From a field of 100 schools and 3,925 interscholastic gridiron warriors, the writer has selected the 1929 Indianapolis Times all-state

and honorable mention list, which includes 132 stars. Quite a reduction of the field, but as the pruning process went on, care was taken not to weed out any contender w’ho had all-round ability sat his position. It was not enough that a lineman was good on offense. He had to be strong on defense, too. Neither could a back field man be a good runner and falter in his blocking, tackling, kicking, passing, etc. The backs in the selections all are versatile. Horace Mann of Gary, winner of The Times trophy as the outstanding prep team of the state, placed three men on the first team. Tire Horsemen were the only team to gain more than one varsity berth. Indianapolis’ lone representative on four teams is Emmett Lowery, brilliant Tech end, placed on the third squad. Several are given honorable mention.

After looking Into the merits of nearly 700 players who were nominated, the majority of them for the first team, the writer is convinced that Hoosier colleges will reap the harvest.

It was our good luck to travel from cast to west and south to north, watching prep games everywhere. We called upon officials and newspaper men, who aided us in the selection. At end. Duggins, a big rangy lad, was the spark of a strong New Albany team that went undefeated.* Lyons of Central (Ft. Wayne) stood out In that lineup. Occasionally he dropped back into the back field and carried the ball. His defense was excellent. The Negro lad gets the call by a slight margin over Tony Sungalia of Clinton, a real star and one of the three best ends in the state. Tackles Peerless * As prep tackles, Tony Feltman of Central (Evansville) and H. Johnson of Horace Mann (Gary), have no peers. Angelmeyer, Joe Yoder, Schensker and Sabik all were versatile and above average tackles. "Mickey” Malone, the Clinton star, was the spark of his team. He was fast, pulled out of his guard post to run interference, and could drop back and carry the ball. Defensively he was perfect. Nylec, Horace Mann, was a shade better than his team-mate, Beiere. Buzolits, South Bend, gets the call over Swartzell of Emerson (Gary) by a shade for the center post. Page Is Real Star The selection between Harlan (Pat) Page Jr., son of the I. U. coach, and Paul Cavanaugh of Horace Mann for the quarter back post was the hardest choice of all. Both are of first team caliber, all around performers and great field generals. Cavanaugh was leader of a great machine, while Page was the leader ol a just ordinary team which he made great by his individual efforts. Both are good defensive men. Page is every inch a great player, and in the opinion of the writer, could fit into the Horace Mann machine and star. But the writer hesitates to say that Cavanaugh could step into the Bloomington lineup and be the one-man team Page was. Stevenson Hardest Hitter “Pete” Stevenson at Jasonville was the hardest hitting back the WTiter saw all year, and was never stopped. Toby Yoder of Goshen was more versatile than Basker of South Bend, and gets the other half berth. Basker was better in the open field, but was a bit erratic. Yards of Horace Mann gets the full back job for his superior line plunging and defensive work. He has played three years with the Horsemen at full back and one at taekle. Trojans Favored to Trip Carnegie ' LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.—While the Carnegie Tech team was sightseeing in the Grand Canyon and traveling westward today. Southern California went through another drill in preparation for the intersectional football clash here Saturday. Although the Carnegie Tech eleven is known to be a strong one, local sporting figures placed it on the short end of ten-tc-seven betting odds today.

Bu United Fmx NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—Madison Square Garden Corporation has given employment to the ring’s greatest welterweight fighter. No contracts were signed and there were no photographers present as the famous fighter presented himself for a position. His name, he said with a hint of pride, was Joseph Walcott.

Walcott explained he had been looking at the posters in the lobby and noted that a pair of welterweights named McLarnin and Goldstein were to fight at the Garden Friday and he thought maybe the Garden could find something for an ex-welterweight champion to do. They gave Joe an empty basket and set him to work picking up paper and rubbish. Long after McLarnin and Goldstein finish fighting Friday night—for a purse of nearly $50.000 —Joe will be shuffling up and down the aisles retrieving crumpled programs to earn his S3O per week. "I’m happy,” Joe explained today, “look here, shoes on my feet, clothes on my back and pork chops in my belly.” Walcott, who is 57 years old, held the welterweight title from 1901 until 1904. The barrel-chested Negro frequently went out of his class to meet and beat men outweighing him by as much as forty pounds. CHAPPIE UNDER KNIFE Bu l'mted Prets NEW YORK, Dec. 12.

Situation in Brooklyn Is Real Tangle Landis Fails in Efforts to Bring Together Warring Club Bosses. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—The major leagues ended three days of discussion of baseball’s problems today with the annual joint meeting of the National and American Leagues. Most of the problems which have come before the two leagues in their separate sessions Tuesday and Wednesday were expected to be settled at today’s gathering. The National League apparently has settled the radio question by deciding that broadcasting is a matter for each individual club to decide. Remove Gloss Off Balls There is not likely to be any big change in the baseball used, except the manufacturers probably will follow the National League’s recommendation and take the gloss off the ball to save the umpires th f trouble. New developments in the Brooklyn situation, where two rival factions are at war, were expected today. Commissioner K. M. Landts and President John Heydler of the National League unsuccessfully attempted Wednesday to bring the groups together. Fifty-Fifty Battle Wilbert Robinson, president and manager of the Brooklyn club, whose contract expires Jan. 1, and Frank York, representing the Ebbets interests, are aligned against Judge Steve McKeever and Joseph Gilleaudeau in the Brooklyn battle. Each group represents 50 per cent of the club’s stock. As for the American League, President E. S. Barnard said his league was in perfect harmony. Reynolds Here Monday in Mat Bout at Cadle Promoter McLemore is playing Santa Claus to local wrestling fans by presenting an attractive welterweight match at Cadle tabernacle Monday night, with Jack Reynolds, title claimant, meeting Joe Parelli, Italian prominent. These two have met several times and Parelli defeated Reynolds on one occasion at catchweights. In the other contests, which were under the welter limit, Reynolds was victor. Parelli is eight or nine years younger than the champion. Asa result of wise investments in recent years, Reynolds is well fixed financially, having recently purchased a $30,000 apartment building in Cincinnati. The Reynolds-Parelli match will be for best two in three falls, with a two-hour time limit.
