: GEORGE A. BARTON, sports columnist for the Minneapolis Morning Tribune, is a member of Grantland Rice’s All-America football board which selected the 1942 honor eleven for Collier's Weekly. . . .Dean of midFa dlewest sports writers, Barton has been a member of Rice’s board for eight years. Rice's All-America board is comprised of sports writers from - the “middle west, east, far west, south and southwest... . Each writer makes recommendations from his own territory. . . . Barton’s nominations are from the middle west. Five of the six players recommended by Barton were placed on Rice’s 1942 first team. . , . Bob Dove, Notre Dame end, was George's sixth nominee. . : Nominees by Barton placed on Collier's team were Dick Wildung, Minnesota tackle; Billy Hillenbrand, Indiana halfback; Julius Franks, Michigan guard; Dave Schreiner, Wisconsin end; and Lindel Houston, . Ohio State guard. Although a member of Collier’s football board eight years, Barton reserves the right to criticize Grantland Rice, the “chief”... . And ~ he lost no time in dishing it out, in part as follows: i “We regret being outvoted by our fellow members of the board . Who gave Don Currivan of Boston college the preference over Bob _ Dove of Notre Dame. We never saw Currivan play, consequently gannot pass on his qualifications. We saw Dove in two important ‘games in 1941 and three this year—Illinois, Michigan and Great phates. He is brilliant in all departments of play, including finesse “8s a pass receiver. That ‘Caliber of Competition’ Angle + “DOVE CLEARLY rated a place on Rice’s team. And Notre ‘Dame deserved representation. There will be much criticism, and ‘Justifiably so, over naming two Boston college players on the team, “Currivan at end and Mike Holovak at fullback. : “Certainly, 1f Minnesota, after winning Western conference and ational championships in 1940-41, was limited to one player each son the All-America, then Boston college didn’t rate more than one «player this year. “Based on their season's records and the caliber of competition “faced, Wisconsin and Ohio State rated three players each if Boston “college rated two.”

«&

” ” » ” ” # “OF THE five players picked from the Western conference, I . believe Dick Wildung of Minnesota is the most deserving. He really earned the honor in 1941 and was recommended along with Bruce Smith of Minnesota by the writer, However, we were outvoted by ‘other members of the board and had to be content with the sefection of Smith, who, by the way, is an’all-time All-America in our book. : § «wildung has been the outstanding tackle in the conference for two years. In fact, we don’t think there was a better tackle sanywhere in college circles in 1941-42. Moreover, he rated with the

“best in his sophomore year.” “wo Saints in Non-Military Class

HOWIE SCHULTZ, St. Paul's star rookie first sacker, is in the on-military class. . . . He is half an inch over the height limit of eet 6 inches. . . . This skyscraper size is no handicap in baseball.

Place in Race

By FRANK WIDNER The Indianapolis Capitals were not knocking on the back door of the Buffalo club, leaders of the western division of the American Hockey league today. They were right up to the side door and headed for the front. The Caps, returning from & fivegame road trip in the East, waited until the final period to show the local faps last night that they remembered the home ice very well. Their memory was restored to the tune of six rapid fire goals which gave them a 7-2 trimming of Pittsburgh’s Hornets. The victory gave the Caps undisputed possession of second place in the Western division as Buffalo tied Hershey, 3-3. Washington scored twice in the first period and added another in the third to blank the Providence Reds.

Only 2 Points

New Haven went to work in every period to wallop, Cleveland, 9-2, in

tail-enders of each division of the league. With 20’ points, the Caps now are but two points out of first place. They will meet Hershey here on the local ice next Sunday night. For a while last night, the Caps acted as though they didn’t know just where that goal was or what they should do about it. In the first place, they were late getting back in town from their trip East. Their timing wasn’t so good and when they did get a crack

the Hornets would more or less nonchalantly turn the shots aside.

Some Argument

Pittsburgh slapped the puck back and forth at the Hoosier net several times before they finally scored at 12:10 of the first period. Chuck Corrigan picked up a couple of neat assists from Currie and Schultz to rack up the opening point. The Caps went to work after that and thanks to Bill Jennings, knotted the score, But the referee refused to allow the point and after a lengthy argument, the Caps still were without any points. From that time on, the referee was a “marked man” as far as the fans were concerned. Then Adam Brown found the net. Taking assists from Jennings and Holota he slammed the puck into the net at 2:43 of the second heat to tie the score. Things got ‘rough” about that time and Jennings went to the penalty box for tripping and Holota followed him for too much “objection” to the referee, And to top

‘things off, the goal light flashed

again, indicating: an Indianapolis goal, but the referee couldn't see things that way. He voided the goal and the fans roared their protest. Bill Thompson poked the missile into the net cleanly, but, as Manager Herbie Lewis explained today, the referee claimed that the puck was out of his vision a split second before and he had blown his whistle. The Caps didn’t hear the whistle which should have stopped play and that was when Thompson

scored. Capture Lead

It was the third period that the started their uprising

Holota started the march off with a lightning-like goal at 1:17, with the .able assistance of Brown and Jennings. At 4:30 Jud McAtee sent the Caps into the lead for the first time, 3-2. ‘Then came the deluge. Holota slapped his second score into the net and Adam Brown made it 5-2 at 14:45. There was but 13 seconds between the two goals by the Caps. The sixth marker came at 18:13

| and 25 seconds later, the Caps had

their seventh tally to wind up the torrid contest. Thomson and Douglas were responsible for the final two scores by the local team. The crowd numbered slightly more than 3500 persons.

Bruins Still Keep Lead

By UNITED PRESS The Boston Bruins battled to a 1-1 tie with the Red Wings before 10,653 fans at Detroit last night, but managed to hold a one-point firstplace lead in the National hockey league over the Toronto Maple Leafs, who lost to the Chicago Black Hawks, 5-2. The Montreal Canadians trounced the Rangers, 7-3, before a crowd of 14,331 at New York. Left Winger Carl Liscombe gave the Wings the lead at 13:44 of the first period when he whistled home a shot that glanced off Joe Carventh’s skate into the net. Art Jackson tied it for Boston after 17:26 of the second period when he scored on an assist from Bill Cowley. A crowd of 13,017 watched the Hawks come from behind to whip

two-goal lead in the first period, but Red Hamill and Doug Bentley scored to knot the count for Chi-

the second period, Big Earl Seibert scored twice in less than three minutes to clinch the game. The Canadians took a three-goal lead over the Rangers midway in the game, but the Rangers came back to tie the score in the third period on a goal by Phil Watson. But Montreal put four markers across in the fina] 11 minutes to sew it up.

Denson to Face Mickey Hayes

Irish Mickey Hayes, rugged Milwaukee youngster, and Johnny Denson, of Indianapolis, have been matched for ten-round heavyweight action on the pro fistic program at the armory Friday night by the Hercules Athletic club. Hayes, a chunky belter who scales

inches, has a record of 14 knock-

sional. Hayes figured in a ring oddity during the “White Hope” tournament staged last year in Detroit when the Wisconsin boxer knocked out his man and still lost the fight. Hayes was fighting Charley Roth in a four-round tourney bout and had been outpointed until the final seconds, when he knocked Roth cold only to have the bell save the latter as the referee’s count reached five. On the point basis, Roth was awarded the verdict.

Arcaro, who was suspended and lost his license for rough riding at Aqueduct, will seek his reinstatement from the New York Jockey club, backed by his employer, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. If the jockey club refuses, he may appeal to the racing commission. Meanwhile Mead, who was suspended at Jamaica for alleged “collusion” with another jockey, may bring his case up before the stewards at the current New Orleans meeting. The Louisiana stewards may reinstate him or refer him back to the New York club. The latter course is most likely.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (U. P.

‘| football may be decided here today.

If it should fall a victim of the

ever known.

There was a feeling of pessimism as the owners and coaches went into their annual business meeting to settle the question of what to do about next year, but nothing they decide can overshadow what the Redskins did in. breaking the best winning streak in professional football history. For, like 24 other ball clubs before them, the Redskins were supposed to be embarrassed in what may be the last playoff game for the duration. But instead of becoming the 25th victim of the Bear winning streak which started back in November, 1941, they won the championship and they won in a manner that left no doubt as to the superior ball club.

Super Ball Club

The Bears have been a super-ball club for so long it was hard for the 36,006 fans who jammed Griffith stadium to believe that they finally had been beaten. But beaten they were, and by a team that on yestterday, at least, was probably as good as any team that ever ran onto a gridiron. For Washington, in avenging the 73-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of the Bears in the 1940 playoff game, out-fought, outplayed and out-smarted the 5-to-1 favorites. The Bears were so bewildered at the way the Redskins operated that they didn’t display their usual pow-

that time it was too late for the Redskins, out to win this game more than any other, were playing their game of the year. It was a battle of lines and the Washington forwards came off with the laurels. They not only outplayed the vaunted Bear line, but they outroughed them, too. That is something that hasn't happened to a Bear team in a long time.

‘No Individual Stars

Behind that fighting Redskin line the Washington backs did yeoman work. Not even the playing of Slingin’ Sammy Baugh overshadowed that of his other teammates. There weren't any individual stars on this Washington club for it was strictly a team proposition. For a while it looked like the Bears might make it a repetition of that 1940 rout. Lee Artoe scooped up a Dick Todd fumble early in the second quarter and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. But instead of discouraging the Redskins it only served to make them fight harder. They came right back apd Baugh threw a long pass to Wilbur Moore on the goal line and when Bob Masterson converted, the Redskins went ahead 7-6; for Artoe had missed the conversion after his score. That would have been enough, but the Redskins added seven more points in the third period when Andy Farkas personally conducted the scoring march. He carried the ball nine times and on his ninth trip went over with Masterson again converting. Twice in the fourth period the Bears drove deep into Washington

But each time the Redskin line was equal to the occasion and hurled the Bears back. ‘ Not only in the score did the game fail to follow the dope. For the Bears, noted for their power running, gained less yardage with their ground attack than did the Redskins, whose chief offensive weapon in the past has been Baugh’s arm.
