FORD, IRISH QUARTER BACK, NAMED ON TIMES’ ALL-STATE

U. S. C. Is Easy for Bulldogs Butler Looks to Hard Test With Pitt Panthers Saturday. Showing a complete reversal of form, Butler's Bulldogs registered an impressive 36 to 16 triumph over Southern California court pastimcrs at Fail-view Monday night. Accurate sniping by Chadd and Withrow, a smooth-working offense, and an airtight defense gave Tony Hinkle’s veterans the decision over Sam Barry’s coast huskies. Although encouraged by the decided improvement in play shown Monday over the form exhibited in the opening tussle last Friday, when the Bulldogs barely nosed out a battling Evansville college five, Pilot Hinkle planned today to continue hard work for Saturday’s important fray with Pittsburgh here. Title Contenders Coming Doc Carlson's Pitt Panthers, annual contenders for eastern and national collegiate honors, invade the Blue court Saturday to renew their rivalry with the Bulldogs. The Smoky City five is expected to provide Butler one of the season’s hardest tests. Butler took a 20 to 6 advantage over Southern California in the first half of Monday’s fray largely through the long range firing of Chadd, speedy floor guard, and Withrow. Butler was leading 9 to 1 with twelve minutes played before the Trojans connected for a twopointer. In the final stanza, Chadd was aided by Miller, Proffitt and Withrow in piling up a 29 to 6 edge before the invaders again connected from the field. Tackett Shines As usual, Marshall Tackett, brilliant back guard, was the outstanding performer on the floor. His efforts nearly were equaled by the other Blue veterans—Withrow, Chadd, Miller and Proffitt. For the invaders, Capps and Thompson, heavyweight guards, and fleet Captain Gardner were outstanding. It was the fourth defeat in seven mid western starts for U. S. C., who held Northwestern to a two-point decision Saturday night. Butler (361. So. California (16). ..... . FG FT PF FG FT PF!

N.Y.U. Plans Grid ‘Deflation’ Policy; Seeks New Mentor

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Not to be outdone by Coach Chick Meehan, who quit New York university to "go amateur,” the N. Y. U. board of athletic control has announced a "deflation” policy which will return football to an amateur status at that institution. Meehan, engaged seven years ago for the avowed purpose of “putting N. Y. U. on the football map” and who admittedly accomplished that goal through "high pressure” tactics, resigned his post Saturday when it became apparent that he would not be offered anew contract for 1932.

South Bend Central Grabs Two Positions; 1931 Squad ‘Greatest’ Wahl of Manual and Sweeney of Cathedral on Second Eleven; East of Tech, Long of Washington and Welton of Manual Gain Third Team Jobs. BY DICK MILLER. Indiana's prep football heroes of 1931—four teams composed o* greater players than ever before —are presented today by The Times in the annual all-state high school selection, regarded in school circles as official. With the naming of this group of stars, and the honorable mention group, a few more names are added to the list of Hoosier prep football notables. Ten schools, representing every section of the state, are represented in the selection of the eleven members of the first team. Many others gained places on the second, third and fourth teams and

in the honorable mention. Central of South Bend, selected by the writer as the state’s outstanding eleven in 1931, placed tw-o men on the first squad. Indianapolis gained one berth, Ford, Cathedral captain, getting the quarter back call. Wahl of Manual and Sweeney of Cathedral gained second team honors, while Long of George Washington. Welton of Manual and East of Tech were accorded third team berths. The first team includes: Ends—Fataijelli, Elkhart, and Milalich. Froebel of Gary. Tackles—Peters, Hammond Tech, and Del Sasso, Clinton. Guards—Chelle, Horace Mann of Gary, and Brunsic, Washington (East Chicago). Center —Wegner, Central of South Bend. Quarter Back—Ford, Cathedral of Indianapolis. Half Backs—Mittcrmeyer, Central of South Bend, and Alleman, Marion. Full Back—Lyons. Bosse of Evansville. State schoolboy football experienced its greatest season during the campaign just closed. Records released by A. L. Trester, Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner, show that ninetynine members of that organization had football teams and that 4,696 boys took part. To this total is added the boys who participated on teams which are members of the Indiana Catholic High School Athletic Association

Resume of Positions and Players on Honor Elevens

ENDS Patanelli of Elkhart and Milalich of Froebel, Gary, are great wlngmen, but so are Sweeney of Cathedral and Antonini of Clinton. The last named is one of the greatest leaders the writer has seen in prep football. Unfortunately, his coach was forced to use him in the back field this year. He is not naturally a ball toter, but is a great passer and marvelous kicker. Had die been allowed to play end all season undoubtedly he would have made the first team. Sweeney was a versatile pastimer. TACKLES Too much can not be said of the merits of Del Sasso, Clinton tackle. Time and again when John Magnabosco’s charges were against foes that appeared stronger, this boy proved himself a forward wall through individual efforts. William Peters of Hammond Tech, a giant youth, has been labeled by many the greatest prep tackle in recent years. Smith, the big South Bend Central Negro, lost a first team berth by a shade, as did Kirkhart, ace of Bloomfield. GUARDS Both guard positions went to the Calumet district, with Chelle of Horace Mann (Gary) and Brunsic of Washington (East Chicago) performing as real stars. Moore and Evans of Muncie, McCormick of Cathedral and Garnoc of Clinton also were high class. CENTERS There were more than a dozen outstanding pivot men. It took considerable time to choose between Wegner of South Bend and Wahl of Manual. The upstate boy had more size and was outstanding in every game. QUARTER BACKS One of the hardest decisions was the selection of the quarter back. To be conservative, there were ten worthy of high honors and a dozen more above the average. Johnny Ford, the cool and classy Cathedral leader, gets first honors. He had everything. Calumet fans sing tne E raises of Leon Dailey of Horace Mann. ike Ford, he almost single-handedly kept his team in the race for state honors. Bennie Plotnicki, South Bend Central's brilliant field general, also polls many votes, but Fcned and Dailey shaded him. Johnny McDonald, all-Wabash Valley signal barker of Clinton, was another great all-around player. McDonald, how-

and private schools of prep classification, boosting the total of youthful pigskin pastimers in Hoosierdom well over the 5.000 mark. This may not be significant, but it is recalled that in 1927 a similar report revealed ninety-three schools played football with 3,146 boys taking part. The fact that only ten more schools had teams this year than five seasons ago, but that nearly 2.000 more boys competed, discloses the gigantic gain in popularity of the grid game among high school athletes, in a state where basketball is said to be the most popular sport. The total number of boys honored on The Times’ all-state teams and honor roll this year approximately is the same as in 1927, and only slightly more than ten years ago. This alone makes the attainment of honors harder for the individual, and their selections more difficult. Youths named on The Times’ allstate teams in past years have vindicated their selections admirably. They have carried on in college, gaining various ‘all-team’ honors* some reaching the all-America class. Stars named this year will carry on—we are certain of that. The 1931 teams are composed of greater players than ever before. It is only fair to call attention to the boys in the honorable mention list. This, particularly, applies to the half backs, quarter backs and tackles. The entire list of ends is all-state caliber, every boy mentioned being a star.

ever, got n late start. Gerald Sapp of Garrett also was outstanding. HALF BACKS There will be considerable dispute in the half back selections. It was a most difficult job to select eight from the big field. The eight picked are all stars. Wendell Walker of Vincennes was a spectacular performer, but was out for some time with an injured knee. Brunson of Evansville was a star, but was not a triplethreater. Willie Hart, the little Negro speedster of Froebel of Gary and Wright of Bloomfield, were other fine ball toters. Alleman of Marion and Mittermever of Central, South Bend, topped the classv field of classv half backs. FULL BACKS There were two outstanding full backs, Lyons of Bosse iEvansville) and Jancarich of Froebel (Gary). The former was a fine plunger, perfect passer and consistent kicker. East and Moore also were luminaries. McDaniels was a power for Garfield, and Brogdon of Elwood, Gall of Gerstmeyer iTerre Haute), and LaPointie of South Side (Ft. Wayne) all starred. Another youth to watch is Cherry of George Washington. Indianapolis, a sophomore find and a comer. IRISH PICK STAR FOES SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 15 The quarter back and two linesmen on the University of Southern California’s powerful eleven had been placed today on Notre Dame’s official all-opponent team selected by the coaches, scouts and players. The team, announced in the official football review, follows: Ends—Brilev. Drake, and Arbelbidc. Southern California. Tackles—Rilev. Northwestern, and Price. Armv. Guards—Baker. Southern California, and Underwood. Navv. Center—Daughertv. Pittsburgh. Quarter Back—Mohler, Southern California. Half Backs —Stecker. Armv. and Rentner. Northwestern. Full Back—Perina, Pennsylvania.
