Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—One reason why it is futile to take editorial pot shots at the annual all- ' America football selections is that, they are quite harmless in effect and no lasting importance is attached to them. At least I hope not. Certainly the players thus honored should not take themselves too seriously. a a a I doubt if ntn the v*riou experts who p ckod all-Am/rirs a year ago can name their teams for you without checkin* back (hrougU their file*. Cartdeo of Notre Damr is the fair hatred boy this year. He i.s practically unanimous choice lor the quarter back position It may be that hr is destined to Join that group ot footballers loosely identified in the sports nazes as immortal*. But more than likely he will drop back into comparative obscurity along with the rreat army of college star* who flash and fade a* the <ears roll by. ana Football fame Is the most ephemeral of .-•.II.

Just as time has done with great fighters of the past and great bail players. ana Other rreat footballers have come alonn in recent years—and fighters and ball players—but in most controversies the old ruard still get* the highest ranking. a a a iJMVE years ago Fielding H Yost, v one of the patriarchs of the ,ame, picked an all-time football team that was made up as follows: Ends: Harwick Harvard*, Muller 'California*; tackles, Fish <Harvard>, Hart (Princeton); guards, lleffelfinger (Yale), Hare (Pennsylvania); center, Schultz (Michigan); quarter back, Eckersall (Chicago); half backs, Thorpe (Carlisle), Hesrcn (Michigan); full back, Coy Yah?.* a a a A year or so ago. Tost was asked what hanges. if anv. he might make in this learn if he were dispnsrd to b'ing it up to date. He said he didn’t think he would make anv changes, and the chances arc he will always feel that wav about it. the an* cr, in part, to the enduring nature of s rh selections is the lasting effect of first impressions. a a a A number of authorities equally as profound and experienced as Yost might readily produce selections markedly different. and it would not be easy to demonstrate the incorrectner-s of their evaluations. Even with the old masters of the -ame the matter of all-star teams is purely a product of personal opinions. These : earns owe their position in the scheme of things to the fact that they make interesting fiction. Thev arc not supposed ;o be accepted with any seriousness. Undoubtedly football has produced a few players whose athletic memory should be perpetuated. Certainly Thorpe the Indian was an outstanding figure on the gridiron, as well as one of the greatest allround athletes in history. n n tt ft>HE Indian was a marvel in i. many respects. You couldn’t j hurt him. and this in spite oi the ; act that he took very poor care of his condition. In his 40’s he still played a furious game of professional football. a a a Then* was a time when It looked as if he might make the grade as a big league ball player. Someone warned him he ought to quit playing football. “You might get hurt.’’ he was told. Thorpe wanted to know how anybody could possibly get hurt playing football. He had a mild sort of contempt for the dangers of the sport and this is one of the things Warner probably held against him. BROWN SCORES K. O /ft/ Timet Special FRANKFORT.

Dec. 3.—The trou-ble-making universal draft question was back in the hands of the major leagues today when the delegates to the convention of the National As- ■ sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues gathered to hear an address by * Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The five modified-draft loops—lnternational, American Association, Pacific Coast, Western and Three-I —announced after a joint session j Tuesday that they were ready to reopen the universal question with the majors. The leagues adopted a resolution to place the solution of the problem in the hands of a committee 1 that would deal directly with a similar major league group. The resolution stipulated, how- ; ever, that the minor league committee should not consider the draft issue until the majors ' withdraw 7 ! their recent threat to sever relations ; with the non-universal draft leagues. The majors were given sis- ! teen days to answer. The minor committee will include three members from each of the three Class AA leagues, two members from the Western League and one member from the Three-I League. Election of officers and appointment of committees was scheduled for today.

Trojans to Flay Strictly Offensive Game Against Notre Dame Invaders

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3—Regardless of the outcome of the Notre Dame game Saturday, Southern California’s present team must be ranked as one of the greatest offensive gridiron machines ever assembled. Tlie Trojans have rolled up 382 points in nine games to lead the entire country in scoring. From scrimmage only they have gained 4.816 yards, or an average of more than 535 yards per game. Southern California had its greatest day against California, piling up 763 yards from scrimmage and winning 74 to 0. Even in the early October defeat by Washington State, 7 to 6. the Trojans outgained the victors, 327 yards to 257 yards.

Grove, Ferrell and Lyons w Share A. L. Hurling Honors

lip United Press j CHICAGO, Dec. 3—Lefty Grove, Wes Ferrell and Ted Lyons, rivals for recognition as the American League’s greatest pitcher, captured a majority of the league's hurling honors. Official averages, released today, reveal Grove, Philadelphia’s fast ball ace, as the league leader in earned runs allowed with an average of three per game, and in percentage with twenty-eight victories and five defeats. Grove also appeared in the most games, fifty, one more than his teammate Earnshaw. Ferrell, Cleveland sensation, was third in effectiveness with 3.30 earned runs per game, won the second largest number of games, twen-ty-five, tied with Crowder of Washington for second in complete games

than his great teams at lowa in 1920. 1921 and 1922. “When they are clicking,it just seems like they can’t be stopped,” said Jones. And it also is easy tc see why Jones openly confesses that Southern California will play a strictly offense game against Notre Dame. a a a “YTLE plan to get the ball as VV quickly as possible and keep it as long as we can and score as often as we can,” said Jones. “We will not kick until we have to.” Southern California’s regular back field is composed of Marshall Duflield, 175, at quarter back; Marger Apsit. 180, and Ernie Pinckert, 189, half backs, and Jim Musick, 195. full back.

Lyons, working for the low’ly Chicago White Sox, pitched the most innings, 298, the largest number of complete games, twenty-nine, won twenty-two games, more than a third of the victories scored by his club, and had an earned run average of 3.77. Team pitching honors went to the Washington Senators, whose hurling staff allowed an average of only 3.96 earned runs per game. Philadelphia was second with 4.38 runs per game. Milton Gaston and Morris, both of Boston, and Ruffing, who went from Boston to New York, turned in the best performances of the year with two-hit games, Ruffing pitching two and the others one each.

The fifth member of the backfield and perhaps the most dangerous ball carrier on the team, or in the entire nation for that matter, is Orville Mohler, 163, sophomore substitute for Duffield. Mohler hasn’t played an entire game, but has scored more points and gained more ground than any other player of the team. He has made seventeen touchdowns and rolled up 979 yards in the 135 times he has carried the ball, or an average of 7.2 on each play.

With the liberal handicap allowance, anew record entry is expected to take a whirl at the attractive prize list offered. Willis Coval. former Manuel and T.

Bill Branson, captain of the Indianapolis Power and Light team, claims Carter and Coonev are placing too much of a load on Kriner and himself, and threatens to ask waivers on this pair if they do not show some improvement shortly. McKinnon has been hitting the pins in fine style for the Citizens Gas team the last few weeks, and during Tuesday night’s plav led this quintet to a triple win over The Times with a total of 630.

With Carteaux missing, the Motor Tire was Just another team for the Crescent Paper to take. Kegrice saved his team a shutout when he opened with a 254. Johnson was consistent for Ballard Ice Cream, games of 211. 215 and 206, giving him a total of '32. Dad Hanna and his A. C.

Tony Cancela, Detroit light heavyweight, knocked out Harry Dillon in the fifth of the scheduled ten-rounder Tuesday night. Cancela jarred the Canadian with a hard right to the chin in the opening frame and copped every stanza before putting Dillon away. Frankie Jarr and Kid Woods, local bantamweights, again stole the show with an eight-round slugfest that had the fans on their feet most of the time. The Ft, Wayne youth started off with a big lead, but Woods came back strong and had him bleeding at the finish. Jarr, however, retained enough of his edge to gain a shade verdict. Happy Owens, Kokomo, handed Rosy Kid Baker of Anderson a surprise when he floored him in the first round, but Baker, despite his wildness, came back to score a technical knockout in the third of a scheduled six-rounder. Jack Malone jabbed out a sixround shade verdict over Donald Fagg, Clinton junior welter, in the top six. and Sonny Mitchell shaded Tuffy Mitchell in the four-round opener.

He is studying to be a commercial artist, and is working his way through school by drawing fancy borders and pictures for layouts. Musick, the big full back, excels on straight-away drives. He has powerful leg power, and hits low and hard. Apsit, who bears a striking facial resemblance to President Hoover, never carries the ball. His forte is blocking and defensive play. Howard Jones says of him: “I never have to think about Apsit. I know when I put him in the game he will do his job 100 per cent all the time.”
