Vols Appear

SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

WALTER CAMP picked his first All-America football team for Collier's Weekly in 1889, and in celebration of the 50th anniversary of that event, Grantland Rice has compiled his choice for Collier's All-Time All-America. After Walter Camp’s death in 1925 Rice took up the All-America task and he points out that each year it has become harder to make the mythical team, and that each year the selections have called for closer observation and a wider check . . . “since after all, there are only 11 places to fill and each passing season the competition gets keener and closer.”

But getting back to the All-Time selections, Notre Danre landed one place and it was given to Jack Cannon, guard, class of 1929. , . . Others honored are: Germany Schultz, Michigan, 1907, center. Pudge Heffelfinger, Yale, 1891, guard. Fats Henry, Washington and Jefferson, 1919, and Fincher, Georgia Tech, 1920, tackles. Brick Miller, California, 1921, and Wes Fessler, Ohio State, 1928, ends. Red Grange, Illinois, 1925 quarterback. Jim Thorpe, Carlisle, 1912, and Ken Strong, N. Y. U, 1828, halfbacks. Ernie Nevers, Stanford, 1925, fullback.

9000 Follow Redskins to New York ACCOMPANIED BY a 90-piece band, some 9000 grid fans will make the trip from Washington to New York to watch the Redskins battle the Giants Sunday. . . . At stake will be the championship of the Eastern half of the pro grid league and an overflow crowd will be on hand at the Polo Grounds. Several special trains will carry the Redskin rooters and it will be a huge event for the passenger agents. . . . The league's Western half title hinges on the outcome of the Detroit-Gren Bay battle in the motor city Sunday. The Packers can clinch the sectional crown by beating the Lions. . . . However, if the Lions win, the Packers and idle Chicago Bears will be tied, which will necessitate a playoff for the divisional 10Nors.

TAD WIEMAN, Princeton's grid coach, is scouting three 1940 opponents in two jumps by plane. . . . He was in Nashville yesterday watching the Vanderbilt-Alabama game and will be in Philadelphia tomorrow for the Navy-Army tilt. . . . The 1940 Tigers Rlay Vanderbilt and both Service elevens. San Jose State College of California has won 12 straight grid games and has one more to play. . . . Reads like a basketball schedule. «+ +. The boys will be exhausted before spring practice begins. That Auburn-Florida tie game yesterday knocked a lot of football pool players. , . . Auburn was a heavy favorite, according to New York odds. . , . If it's any consolation to the “pickers.” the Plainsmen had the ball on Florida's two-yard line at the final gun. « « « Another upset was Birmingham Southern’s victory over Howard.

Look for DiMaggios in Association

LOOKING INTO the future, the baseball guessers around the American Association predict that a couple of the DiMaggio boys will be in the league next year. . . . The dope is that Vincent can't hit big league pitching and will be shipped to Indianapolis by Cincinnati, and that Dominic needs more seasoning and will be optioned to Louisville by the BoSton Red Sox. ; The Indians and Colonels are in no position to call shots at this time because both plavers have been promised thorough trials by their respective big league clubs. In view of the fact the International League set its 1940 windup date as Sept. 8, the A. A. was expected to follow suit at its business session in Columbus today. . . . Both loops will open on April 18, but the A. A. originally set Sept. 15 as its closer.

JUNE HITTING streaks are a specialty with Dominic Dallessandro, stocky slugger bought by the Chicago Cubs from San Diego While leading the Pacific Coast League in hitting with a 373 average. + +» « In Portland last June Dominic had a streak of eight straight safe blows, then in Oakland he bunched a homer and three doubles In one evening's work. Alex Monchak, Bayonne, N. Y., shortstop, bought by the Phillies from Baltimore, wont be 20 until Dec. 22. but he has already worn the uniforms of six professional baseball teams, four of them in his first year out of school, 1937. . . . He started that season with the Orioles, later playing with Knoxville of the Southern Association, Albany of the Eastern League, and Clarksdale, Miss, of the Cotton States League.

. VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY will dedicate its new $120000 gv when it opens its basketball season Monday night. . . . Notre Dame will supply the visiting attraction and the occasion has been designated Keogan Night in honor of the Irish cage coach who directed basketball and football at Valpo from 1919 to 1921. Coach J. M. Christiansen is beginning his 11th year as the Uhlans’ mentor. . . . The lone Hoosier product on the Valpo quintet is Hal Kenney of Lowell who was the team’s leading scorer last season. .

The Uhlans’ one date in Indianapolis is with Indiana Central on Jan. 31.

Southern California had a. scout in the press box yesterday taking notes on the Vols for future use.

5 City Cage Crews Play Out of Town

Tech’s Game With Kokomo Tops Menu; Westfield At Broad Ripple.

Downi

There'll be a blackout in most of the local high school gyms tonight as five city basketball teams take to the road for their feuding. Here's the lineup: Tech at Kokomo. Cathedral at Brownsburg. Shortridge at Noblesville, Howe at Thorntown. Washington at Rushville. Westfield at Broad Ripple. The battle at Kokomo is choice early season fare. The Wildcats are guarding the 1938-39 North Central trophy and have been rolling along at a merry clip in this campaign, Tech started off fast with a 37-15 conquest of Cathedral and appear to be in the same class with the upstaters. It’s a Real Scrap

Washington's Continentals, meeting Rushville tonight, will step into a South Central Conference melee that's already nearing the boiling point, Shelbyville knocked over the champion Franklin five earlier this week, and now they're saying it's anybody's race. Likely starters for the West Siders are Capt. Boris Dimancheff, Bill Howard and Harold Negley, all lettermen, along with Bud Gerrish and Bill Gingery. Howe's first varsity flve will make its first start against a Thorntown team that already has played five

charted.” It is only a matter of hours of course before Finland will no longer exist. They have made the mistake of trying to be civilized, peaceful and God-fearing citizens. This sort of thing is all tommyrot, as any close fellow follower of Hitler and Stalin knows. Common decency is Gutmoded. Barbarism is in the saddle.

Japan Ready to Outdo Nazis

But the dumb Finns didn't know. Nobody told them. Japan was going to hold the 1940 Olympic Games. Elaborate plans were under way. Japan was pre outdo Germany, build a bigge stadium, put on a more glittering show, throw a bigger international party. But this cost money and in the meantime Japan had been forced into one of those frightful uncalled for, unprovoked defensive wars. China had awakened one morning to learn, much to her amazement, she had attacked her peace adoring neighbors in the Far East. : This was the beginning of the end of the Olympics in Japan.
