BIG FULLBACK IS PRAISED EARLHAM STAR GETS FINE CRITICISM IN THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR IS ONLY QUAKER WHO IS GIVEN A PLACE. The hopes of the Earlham students were slightly shattered when they read the names of the men to comprise the all-state football team and found that no Earlham player was recognized. They had built their hopes high and expected at least one man on the first team, but Haworth was the only man to be given a place, and he is on the second squad. The sporting editor of the Indianapolis Star gave precedence to Vaughan of Notre Dame. In commenting on the appointment of Haworth, Mr. Patton says: "Cartwright and Shade, the Indiana and Purdue full backs, who were disqualified during the latter part of the season for playing professional baseball last summer, were both good men. The second best full back In the stat is Haworth of Earlham. He is handicapped by having to buck against Vaughan, an all-Western man, but he has easily earned the honor which is given him. Withotu having a heavier line in front of him. he has played a star game all season for the Quakers, and his playing ability was largely responsible for the games won by the Earlhamites. He runs low and hard with the ball and picks his holes nicely.Lineups of Teams. The first and second all-state teams as picked by the Star are the following: All-State Eleven. Thomas Butler Left End Standau Rose Poly Left Tackle Dolan Notre Dame Left Guard Wilson Wabash Center Barr Wabash Right Guard Dutter Indiana Right Tackle Berndt Indiana Right End Hamilton Notre Dame Quarter Miller Notre Dame Left Half Gill (Cant.)

A BASEBALL WAR WAGES FIERCELY Big Ban Johnson Is Out in the Open for Charley Murphy's Scalp. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT IS THE CAUSE OF THE HOSTILITIES, HEYDLER, THE PRESENT EXECUTIVE, AND JOHN WARD BEING CANDIDATES. (American News Service) New York, Nov. LtX-Baseball experts today declared that it is open war and no quarter in the fight he tween Ban Johnson and Charles Murphy. The American league, they say, is behind Johnson solidly and a fight to a finish that may result in the extermination of 'ie National league, according to some of the participants, is one of the possibilities. Charles Murphy, the Chicago magnate, is opposed to John A. Heydler, and Johnson is trying to prevent the naming of John M. Ward as Heydler's successor. Garry Herman and Johnson are close together. Hermann says that Heydler, as long as he is in the race, will get the Cincinnati club's vote. How They Line Up. Hermann and Barney Dreyfuss. it is said, feel that Johnson and the American league are behind them and are prepared for a lineup against the Murphy forces. The Herrmann forces seem to include Boston and St. Louis as well as Cincinnati and Pittsburg. Murphy has Chicago and Philadelphia. John T. Brush is favorable to Ward. He say3 he is not pledged to vote against Heydler. C. H. Ebbitts of Brookly, is for the ex-New York manager. Therefore Heydler's election seems to be a matter of one vote. Herrmann and Dreyfuss, it is pointed out. could resign fro mthe National league, with their four clubs and start a new major league. HUNT STOLEN HORSE A horse was stolen at Oxford.
