Declares Times' Northern Indiana H. S. Football Eleven Should Include Players From Newton County. (By CAS&OZ. S. SXJCX.) The Knssdlaer Republican has seen fit to take exception to THE TIMES' All-Northern Indiana football selection, declaring- Morocco. Kentland and its high school team should have been ihowo tome consideration as well as ether dewn state schools. In picking honorary elevens In the jajt It ha been my custom to choose from the upper tier of counties only and net t'O take into sudy teams farther downstate. "Where tha Northern Indiana boundary lines lies Is a question even Ft. Wayne jnig"nt howl because its schools were not represante. Undoubtedly If high school teams outside the supper tier of counties hud been in Question in tha selecting the honorary team would have taken on a much more varied aspect. Certainly It is an open season for scribes to pick so-called "all something or other teams" and until the Kaiser kills free speech in this country any scribe with a paper, hand can utllizo his likes and dislikes to. advantage, if he gat the m. e..'a say-so. As the Rensselaer's scribe story reads we picked the "team" from South Bnd, Uary and Har.-.mond teams. True, for those schools alone had players enough to form quite a nifty eleven and all dr served tha "honor" granted thorn. Not that. Rensselaer, Kentland or any of the smaller schools down state did not deserve recognition but they were not taken into consideration so If the Renseolaer sportment wishes to appease the desire of his subscribers let him choose a semi-N. I. eleven or eomething or other and ftU it full of Kentland. Rensselaer and Morocco players. It's all a rnattsr of argument and something for tha Hot Stove League to discuss anyway. This la what tha Rensselaer writer says: "This is tha open season of the sport scribes for tha choosing of mythical allstar football teams in the various sections of the country, and at the present tlma the pen wielders are busily engaged In making their selections for the honorary eleven. "Walter Camp started the time honored cusfom years ago, and since the time Sir Walter selected his first all-Amerfcan eleven, it has been tha favorite pastime of the followers of the sport, following the clop of the season to sit down, take out their little dopa book tind decide which athletes should be plaoed on the honor roll. The selection of all-star aggregations has become worse than a habit it has become a disease but it appears that it is a necessary disease, so we will let it (rn at that, ai the sport writers should not ba deprived of his one little pleasure. About aU that ever follows such selection is to bring out a roar of dis-

The Toronto Y. M. C. starts em young. We note that a man has been hired to teach Toronto T' me.T.bers how to walk. Approval from those who are r.ct favored with a position of the team, that would dim the battle roar on a European front. "With unvarying consistency the scribes allow their prejudices to sway them when -they make selections fur such teams, and we fear that this is what tha Hammond Times writer did when he made his selections' for on All-Northern Indiana, high school, as he states that he has miny friends on the South Bend. Hammond and Gary clubs. The all-star team from Northern Indiana as selected by the Hammond writer follows: "Copley, Gary, end. "Dunleavy, Gary, tackle. "Kovascy, Hammond, guard. "Donovan, South Bend, center. ; "Marquardt. Gary, guard. j "Oltz, Hammond, tackle. J "Warne, Hammond, end. "Jlohn, South Bend, quarter. "Kllpatrick, Gary, halfback. Sabo. South Bend, halfback. "Olsen. South Bend, halfback. "There you are. Three teams represented in the make-up of an eleven, comprising a district, representing all the northern Indiana high schools. Rather strange that such teams as Kentland and Morocco produced this season should net have even a singlo representative. Surely such an eleven with the caliber that Kentland possessed, a team that has defeated Hammond and bowled over all other opposition with monotonous regularity, should ot have a man or two invthe line-up. Kentland has Just as valid a claim to the state titl as any other team in the state. Morocco was the only eleven to defeat the Blue and "White this season and Kentland evened up matters with that aggregation on Thanksgiving day. which practically gave them a clear record for the season. And then, too. what of Captain Gourley. of Rensselaer, for the past two years an all-state tackle, and a man who played Warns of Hammond off his feet when that school came here a few weeks ago? Has his work deteriatea to such an extent In one season that he is not only able to hold a place on Just an all-Northern eleven. "The Hammond scribe also picked a second eleven, made up of men who barely missed making positions on the first eleven. Again, not a Kentland or Morocco man was mentioned. Six schools were represented on the eleven: Hammond. Gary. East Chicago, Mlshawaka. South Bend and Kendallville. "Now. brother, we don't want to howl, for the team which represented the school this year was very mediocre, but it seem that If yo-j are to give Justice to all. you have to train your spyglasses on some of the athletes in this section, and not allow South Bend, Gary and Hammond to absorb all of your attention." asiioay e

High school students led other victims in football casualties, nine of the thirteen victims of the great college game for 1917 being high school youths. Not a college football player was numbered in tha victims. Of the four, cno was a member cf a navy yard team, two belonged to college freshmen teams and one was a professional player. The thirteen deaths this year, while not setting a new low record showed that tha danger in the game has been lowered, as it is estimated fifty per cent more football has betrs played this year than ever before, the increase being caused by games at army camps. It is of Interest to note that of all the thousands who played football at canton ments and camps there was only one casualty, that at the Charleston navy yard already mentioned. The lowest number of deaths from football during a season was in 1911, when a dozen casualties were recorded. Last year there were 17 victims. The other figures ranged from 13 in 1907 to 32 in 1909. Tha following deaths re sulted from football during the 191T season: Oct. 8 George A. Blewett, of Los Angeles, at Berkeley; brain hemor rhage.

JULIA GAYS WALLOP THE GiLS

Fastest Church Team in Chi-1 cago Hands Whiting the Worst Beating She Has Suffered in Many Years. (Dy JIMMIK RAY.) WHITING. IND. Dec. 10. On Saturday evening at the Owls Club In Whiting the Julia Gy Memorials of Chicago, considered the strongest church team in the city, defeated the Owls Club by a score of 4G to 20. This is trie worst defeat the Owls Club has suffered in the last several years. The fast team work of the Julia Gays earned and received tha applause of the spectators. The guarding of Dick Knowlei, the white haired guard of the Julia Gays, was easily the feature cf the game. The Owls could not get started and missed the basket many times. More practice will be the order of Manager James Griffith for the Owls Club boys. The line-up: Owls (30). Julia Gay (49). Pillion. Byers R. I"..MuIoway, Mu'g Griffith L. F....W. Schaefer Pond C F. Schaefer Pharp n. G Knowles Dubrucq, Lynch. .L. G. .Philips. Storer Baskets Pillion (2), Griffith (4), Pond, Sharp, Dubrucq. Muloway (4), W. Sihaefer Z. F. Schaefer f6). Knowles (4. Philips (i). Free throws -Griffith. Pillion. NOTES OF THE OA ME. Joheny Sharp acted, as captain of the team and directed the play. Lew Griffith made nine of the Owls Club 20 points. The Schaefer brothers played remarkably well for the visitors. Byers ought to have been in the game earlier. Pillion's sore thumb bothered him and caused him to miss a number cf chances for ringers. Springgate did not put on a suit as was expected and his presence was missed on the team. The Owls Club team as It stands to day is minus a player from last year's squad. Dubrucq was In the mliup but the fast work of the Julia Oay forwards mos than once caused him to worry. Lddie Pond was off form, only one basket did he register. Better luck next time. SCHERERVILLE Peter Schweltser and John Rohrman went to look for seed corn this week. They got all they want about nine miles south of Lowell, from S. J. Craig of Crown Point.
