Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 23. CONTINUING to speak of allAmerica teams —as practically nobody is at the moment—Mark Hellinger, the columnist, favors me as follows: “The other night, sitting around with the boys, a famous coach from •he west quoted one of the best lines I ever heard. They were chewing the fat about all-America teams and the coach smiled wisely: ‘All a fellow's got to have to become an r.I!-Arr>erica star,' he remarked, ‘is weak defense, & long run and an inspired sports writer.' ” Hellinger Is disposed to agree with these impious sentiments, and it is probably true ‘’'at more than one ai -America selection in the history of so to- 1 ! his been made on merits and unsubstantial. T * Thr of picking all-America team mm, . a !atr kick In the hip porkrts a If. wrcki aco when the Armv an<! Plltal’nrrh were Mr.eared by Stanford and Southern California. On the Army team was the *rat Carle, rated by many aa one of the outstanding half baeka of tbo paat decade. PltUbnrrb boasted Doncheej, Montgomery. Parklnoon and I'anea. all four of them all-America choices by Borne expert*. B B B Tappan an end. was the only Southern California player who firured importantly in the all-America balloting.. Muller at end and Smithing at full back, were the only Stanford plavers to receive any noth" at ai l ar.d such notice as they received was both brief and local in Its effect. a b a BOTH Army and Pittsburgh were decisively beaten. Judged by the sweep of the game if there were any all-America players on the field they belonged to the western teams, not to the invading easterners. Perhaps the failure of the coast teams to win more nominations in the all-America poll can be ascribed to a complete absence of those noble qualities which the afore-men-tioned coach insists are necessary. On second thought this is harly likely. There never was a writer on California football who couldn't get steamed up to a million and threeeighths about the native ball to tens. It must have been just an off season for the ballyhoo out that way this season. 808 Incident ally, from time to time I note that Waiter Camp i* referred to In the daily tunic* as the father of thr all-Amer-ica idea. Since there exist* a ereat deal of doubt a* to whether thr idea Is a plain nuisance or a piquant novelty the record oh this point should be kept straight. B B B Carcjp lifted the Idea from Caspar Whitney who was. I believe, confecting hts “ail teams" for an anci< it weekly when Camp was growing hts first crop of facial stubbie as a Yale senior. Camp merely picked up r. here the e’der Whitney left off. This was In 1883. Camp continued to pick the team which was generally accepted as the nations representative honor roll up to the ttm* of his death.

SHORTRIDGE high school’s chances to provide an upset in the city tournament at Tech gym Friday and Saturday, depend on the ability of these two stalwart guards to keep rival tossers out of scoring range. Much of the Blue Devils’ success in recent games is due to the effective guarding of Bob McCullough (left) and Lorein Bulleit. Coach Messersmith’s team is rated as the favorite to give Tech, defending champion, the hardest battle of the annual meet. McCullough is a senior playing his third year on the Shortridge team. Bulleit is a junior, and was rated as one of the best guards in the tourney last season. Shortridge was off to a slow start in the current campaign, but has turned in victories over strong quintets during the last few games.

Bv Times Special LOUISVILLE. Ky., Jan. 23.—The Louisville Colonels, who are going to make a bold bid to finish high in the American Association campaign tins season so that the club will be more attractive to prospective purchasers, will take the smallest squad in their history to training camp. The roster is composed of only twenty-two players and there is a strong possibility that two of these, Clarence Nachand and Lawrence Merville, outfielders who were with Dayton last year, will not be invited to exhibit their wares at the Mobile rehearsal pasture. Furthermore, the Colonels are looking for only one more pitcher and for only one more outfielder, but they are resigned to paying adult money for these two personages and taking their chances on regaining the coin in the deal which will transfer the dub to another ownership.
