The mayor received a telegram from Rockne saying, "Game will have to be called off doctor's or ders." The message sent from Chicago came out of a clear sky just' when the ballyhoo was getting under way, and members of the mayor's committee on unemployment felt that plans for the contest had gone too far to permit Its cancellation.

There have been few backfielda in All-America history comparable with the 1925 array of Grange of Illinois, Wilson of Washington, Oberlander of Dartmouth and Nevers of Stanford. All were super-stars.

He just s'epped 'upi there and took his -nuto for the pure fun of the thing. All the time hi. was developing a natural swing," -Cobb said, The short right field fences and the lively ball then made an ideal setting for Ruth, Cobb said. i I "His slumps are easy to uri- derstand," What most people don't know Is that the big tel. low Is a null-hitter.

many friends at the Auditorium tomorrow night. Henry Spalleta, a Santa Rosa product, will take his place against Frankie Limas in one of the four-round preliminaries. Schaefer is on the night Bljlft at a local creamery and figures the Job is worth more than what he could make by box-fighting with Limas and anyhow he says he has absolutely nothing against Frankie. Dynamite Jackson and Ernie Owens, the main eventers are ready for the opening gong and promise to put up a hard battle.

Limas and Spalleta will furnish another heavyweight feature.

Willie Duffy, who manages Limas declares his gentleman will spill Spelleta all over the ring, but Willie has been known to have made erroneous predictions in the past. Jimmy Stanislaus, a local high school kid who Is being managed by Eddie "Hats" Parker, goes to the post with Panl Dare.

It may not be exactly fair to' the obscure small college star, perhaps equally as capable as the ballyhooed performer, but it is inevitable. Consequently, the Associated Press consensus selections of the past five years reflect popular concentration on major teams. Occasionally, a comparatively small institution, such as St.

Mary's college of California, acquires national repute, blit onljf by mixing in so called "fast company." Football ascendency was enjoyed at Intervals by the middle west during Camp's time and afterward. The past five years have witnessed sensational development of great players and remarkable teams In the south and far west. The south, on -three occasions, had been selected to represent the region east of the Mississippi in the class New Year's day game In Pasadena's Rose BowL in 19S8, Stanford and Oregon State came east for the first time and banded decisive beatings to two of the best teams along the Atlantic seaboardArmy and New York university. Subsequent defeats absorbed by Army, Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tecb and Fordbam at the bends of far western ricals emphasized the high-powered character of the game developed on the Pacific coast. Naturally the far west has obtained a greater and more proportionate share of All-America laurels.

Nine of its stars have been included in the last five teams of the' Associated Press consensus. The Rocky mountain area received recognition for the first time on the first All-America team in 1928, when Earl Harry (Dutch) Clark, famous quarterback of Colorado college, won the favor of the experts, The five-year Associated Press list Is notable for its collection of great ends, product of the modern open game -placing a premium pn wlngmen and stellar pass receivers.
