FOOTBALL HAS OUTGROWN ALL-AMERICA ERA. SAYS JOE
Game Becoming Too General Over Nation to Single Out Eleven Best, Scribe Opines Williams in Harmony With Yale Editors on Futility of Selections, but Adds That Picking Stars ala Walter Camp Causes No Harm. BY lOF. WILLIAMS Tiro.* Spftisl Writer NEW YORK. Nov. 12 —The young editors of the Yale News think AllAmerica tram' are a lot of tripe, and urge that they be discontinued. If residents of Valhalla turn over in their graves at the arrival of shocking new- then Mr. Walter Camp today must be known as Whirling Walter. This i3 news of a nature not calculated to add to the composure of the lather of Yale football. It was Mr. Camp who made the All-America eleven what it is today, and now the young editors vigorously advocate tossing the founder's Det
baby in the nearest ash can. Along with Mi s Mae West, I feel disposed
to inquire: "Is nothing sacred any more?” Next thing you know they'll be tearing down Pudge Heffelfinger's picture at New Haven. But to be pointedly correct about the matter, Mr. Camp didn't actually sire the first All-America team. The honor.
.lot* Williams
if honor happens to be the word, belongs to Mr. Casper Whitney; he was doing this sort of thing for some time in Harper's Week 1 v before Mr. Camp eame along and parroted the idea in Collier's. Stuck With the Idea Mr. Camp just stuck with the idea longer and as years rolled by and football interest grew he commercialized it to a greater extent. Only members of the Big Three— Vale, Princeton and Harvard—made Mr Camp's first, team. It wasn t until 10 years later that Mr. Camp decided there was any player outside the East worthy of recognition. In 1303 he put Clarence Herschberger of Chicago on the team at full back. But the other 10 men were all Easterners. Twenty more years passed before Mr. Camp rould be persuaded there was any player in the South entitled to join his mythical crew of Olympians. In 1018 he put Ashel Day of Georgia Tech at center. It was about this time the gentleman began scattering his shots, both as to the number of schools and number of sect ions represented—a policy upon which the syndicate managers always look with high favor. The Western coast was the last football sector to attract Mr. Camp's crii ical eye. When Brick Muller of California made one of the ends on the 1921 team he became the first player from the Pacific coast to win the Camp accolade—and it would be interesting to know at this time whether the dUinction has made Mr. Muller any more important, with his bankers. This sketchy outline tends to show. I think, what ultimately happened to Mr. Camp and the AllAmerica team. In the end, Mr. Camp was trying to crowd as much geographical territory and as many different schools into the team as the narrow limits of 11 positions would permit. In short, ♦ lie thing had gotten entirely out of hand; football had become too widespread. Young Editors Correct If this was so back in 1924 when Mr. Camp picked his last team it is doubly so today when there are more major powers and proportionately more individual brilliants than ever. So when the young editors of the Yale News say the All-Amer-ica is a. lot of tripe they are eminently correct. It just doesn't mean a thing, and the so-called AllAmerica board, composed of by-line coaches, Is merely a promotional device for increasing syndicate sales. At the same time the young editors should not become too embittered. The All-America isn’t, that important. If a place on the AllAmerica never helped anybody there is no record that it ever hurt anybody. Summed up. the All-America is just a bit of harmless nonsense, to be taken in the same casual spirit as a bow in a night club. Herr Bob Zuppke. coach of Illinois, has always claimed that AllAmCrica's are born out of ’ong runs and inspired sports writers. It is undoubtedly true that more than one mediocre flash has been ballyhooed to football greatness. And it is probably just as true that scores of great football players have been ignored due to the absence of this same ballyhoo.

BY BERNARD HARMON YESTERDAY was Armistice Day —the seventeenth anniversary of the ending of the World War—but the pin boys at the Parkway Al-
leys thought a new war had broken out as the pastimers of the North Side Business Men's League let loose a barrage of strikes that developed the two top individual totals of the various leagues parading the alleys during the evening. Earl McCarty,
a veteran of many a tenpin campaign, bombarded the elusive maples for a 688 total that topped every solo count in the city, while Leonard Binnion,*whose bowling activities cover a short span of years, connected for a 679 that was good for runnerup honors to his league rival. Both of these hardhitting pin-topplers led their teams to double victories, McCarty’s games of 233, 234 and 221 giving Ora's Lunch the edge over Mike Mann’s, as Binnion’s 206. 267 and 203 won two games for Indiana Candy and Tobacco over Bixby Shoe Polish. Johnnie Jones was the only other member of the loop to pass the 600 mark, his 613 keeping the Mann’s quintet in the midst of their battle.

The winners had games of 972, 1005 and 995, that gave them the best team total in the city last night. Gib Smith's 629 was the top count for the losers. Bake & Van's D-X Service, paced by Bob Wueneh's 628, protected its loop leadership through a shutout victory over Tydol Gasoline. Joe Danna loaned his aid in the team's sweep with a 599. Heidenreich Florists, through the efforts of Bruce Johnson and Dan Abbott, who had totals of 612 and 607. were also three-game winners, their victims being Koch Furnitures.
