BIERMAN Head Coach, University of Minnesota As a member of The Press committee of coaches, it is my privilege to announce the all-America team of 1935. one the pick, of coaches from The first club is a capital Bowdoin to Southern California. Naturally, great athletes are left off. That is the bad feature of "All" arrays.

To honor a small group, it is necessary to slight many remarkable boys. In these days of varsities places are enough to give credit to all But all-America teams long since of liminary to the holidays. People insist upon them. Take the Minnesota team as an only man the Gophers place, although having been on the losing end. Ed Widseth, Minnesota other tackle, is on a par with Smith, but he is a junior and drew fewer votes in a balloting that gave no more than one position to any one institution.

TheJIighScorer WES BENNETT Now a i So Widseth finds himself on the splendid players as his teammate, Sheldon Beise; James (Monk) Moscrip, place-kicking Stanford end. and James (Whataman) Whatley, crack Alabama tackle. Picked From 219 Players A coach is mighty proud of all belongs in anyone's all-star lineup. that I have ever coached. This was drive on line bucks as any fullback capable when blocking or on defense.

I would say, too, that Minnesota campaign unbeaten and untied without such a capable all-round player 25i: s4 I sophomore at Westminster who as Vernal (Babe) lie Voir. He started the season as a fullback, switched to right half when we lost Julius Alfonse, and finished at quarterback after Captain Glenn Seidel suffered a broken collar bone in the Tulane engagement. LeVoir turned in an outstanding job at each position and never lost any of his effectiveness, yet all this phenomenal senior gets for all of his stellar performances and weeks of hard work is honorable mention. I dwell on these players just to let everybody know that I realize to the fullest extent how coaches and admirers of the many stars feel when similarly treated. But enough of that.

Here's our first all-America, and it goes without saving that or any other coach, would like to put it on the field. As is annually the case, it was carefully sifted from a monumental mass of opinions and 219 recommendations. The Western Conference has a slight bulge with three players. Ths East, South, and Southwest land two places each, and the Pacific Coast and Big Six Conference one each. Four Chosen Unanimously John Jacob (Jay) Berwanger of Chicago, Robert Wilson of Southern Methodist, Riley Smith of Alabama, and Robert H.

Grayson of Stanford are the backs. The ends are Merle Wendt of Ohio State and Gaynell Tinsley of Louisiana State. Art Detzel of Pittsburgh is paired with Dick Smith at tackle. Captain Biff Jones, who did so well in his first year as Oklahoma's coach, and other Big Six and Southwest coaches said so many nice things about J. W.

(Dub) Wheeler, Sooner tackle, that room is made for him at guard. His partner is John A. C. Weller, an outstanding star of the outstanding Princeton team. Darrell Lester, Texas Christian captain, is the center.

Selectors virtually were unanimous in designating four players Berwanger, Wilson, Grayson, and Weller. Riley Smith, Tinsley, and Lester were pronounced favorites. For three falls, Berwanger did half the ball toting, the punting and passing, directed the attack and defense, and backed up the line of a comparatively' weak Chicago club. One of the most accomplished all-round backs who has galloped over Big Ten chalk lines years, this track: and field man averaged four yards per attempt against the toughest kind of competition, and 37.5 in kicking Although weighing only 150 pounds, Wilson is one of the most feared long-distance threats in the nation. He is a handy chap on either end of a pass.

The Press alone named him on the 1934 all-America, and he stood up with plenty to spare. defends his district scoring recorcj this winter As a freshman two years ago, Bennett topped the nation in piling up points The Titans open Saturday with Wooster at New Wilmington and Fitt takes off Saturday also for the first time entertaining W.

28-6 Triumph Smith Replaces Howell By LESTER BIEDERMAN Dr. "Red" Carlson, the old basketball clinicer, trots out the sixth edition of his famous "take the game apart and see what makes it tick" sessions at the Pitt Stadium next Saturday morning and afternoon. And Saturday evening, the 1936 Panther floor team Inaugurates the new campaign against W. no longer a soft touch in the field goal mart. The Presidents have access to a squad that made new records last year as freshmen and the Prexies believe this is their year.

The six yearlings beat the Panther Frosh last winter as well as most of the other teams they met. Panthers Are Rebuilt Pitt lost heavily through graduation but Dr. Carlson can draw from a pretty good collection of stars now sophomores and when the redhead draws, he usually knows what to do. Three sophomores may land starting berths in the Pitt first team against W. J.

and Dr. Carlson has been working Captain Ted Roderick, and either Miles Zelesnick or Bill Jesko, at forwards; Pete Noon or Jce Garcia, center; and Bob Johnson and Eddie Spotovich, guards. Zelesnick, Johnson and Spotovich are sophomores. The day-long clinic will probably attract thousands of high school players from this district as well as a full quota of coaches. Coaches to Talk This year there will be morning and afternoon demonstrations and talks by high school and college mentors, including Max Hannum of Carnegie Tech and Chick Davis of Duquesne.

Visiting speakers are B. T. Glover, Ohio Ted Payseur, Northwestern and Edmund Wichf, secretary of the Pennsylvania Inter-scholastic Athletic Association. Westminster helps Pitt celebrate the opening of a new basketball season Saturday also, when the Titans entertain Wooster at New Wilmington. Coach John Lawther also is troubled by graduation, but he still has Wes Bennett, nation's high scorer two years ago, Swede Hun-neke, John Krivosh, Paul Backus and Jack Willits.

Santa Claus Greets Mintz Fight Promoter Gets Prize Fight Between Quaill And Overlin Promoter Jake (Pepper) Mintz gets his Christmas present early this year. The North Side Arena maestro is ready to announce that he has signed Al Quaill, Pittsburgh's top middleweight, and Ken Overlin, seventh-ranking 160-pounder of Norfolk, in a return match for his Arena one week from tomorrow night. Overlin won the first bout between the two fellows, but there were a lot of fans who thought Quaill the victor. It took a long time to make the rematch and after much AL QUAILL KEN OVERLIN wrangling, Mintz proudly shouts that the boys will fight for him Dec. 9.

They squawked at first because Mintz wouldn't rase the prices of the show from $1 and $2 to $1, $2 and $3, but Mintz won point there. They'll battle at $1 and $2. Then Quaill wanted the route of the bout to be at 12-rounds. Overlin held out for 10. Mintz decided to have both fighters on the scene and let them argue it out here.

The debate will probably windup with the match going 11-rounds some thing new in the history of pugilism. Mintz has promised the winner a chance with Champion Babe Risko at his North Side Arena Christmas afternoon. The last time Overlin and Quaill fought, the show grossed $6,000 at Motor Square Garden and it was a great match. It may equal that total again this time, which would be Mintz Xmas present. A semi-final that may feature Tony Herrera against Dorninic Mancini is in the making.

Lions Seek Games Ambridge Lions, a fast light-first class football team, would like to arrange games abroad. Managers write Cy Cycyn, 915 Fifth Street, Ambridge, Pa. bearings and then hurls it down the field to another Notre Darner, who tumbles to the ground amidst such a din as had never been heard before. George's friend is hysterical. He pounds George on the back and beats him on the chest.

"You win! You win!" he bellows. "What 8 racket for right guys," George says. PL. -A PiX Ji THE story of a fellow named George who is the proprietor of a. joy joint out in Ohio, has just come to light.

It is somewhat old now because it happened some weeks ago when the Ohio Staters and the Notre Dames had everybody by the ears, but at the risk of being boresome, I think it rates telling. This George is a gent who likes to have a little cash riding on whatever happens to be going on at the moment, but up until the Friday night before the Irish stormed into Columbus he had completely overlooked football. Not that 80 and more, not even 33 the fine young men entitled to it. have become a recognized pre example. Dick Smith, tackle, is the our seniors graduate without ever second team, along with such other his boys, but I believe that Beise He is one of the finest fullbacks his best season.

He has as much I have ever seen, and was equally would not have gone through the Tickets On Sale For Charity Game Tickets for the second annual Pirate pro-College all-star football game at Forbes Field, Dec. 14, for the benefit of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, go on sale tomorrow morning at Spalding's, Gus Miller's, Far-rell Lock Key East Liberty; Kummer's in Lawrence-ville and Alderman Martin A. Flanagan's office on the North Side. The college seniors will report here the first of next week to drill for the.

contest. Invitations for all players went out this morning. Those participating include stars from Duquesne, Carnegie Tech, Ohio State, Fordham, West Virginia and Georgetown. Avalon Athlete Gets A. A.

U. Post Special to The Pittsburgh Press BETHANY, W. Nov. 30--Layton Horner of Avalon, who is a junior at Bethany College, was recently appointed A. A.

U. Commissioner for the West Virginia panhandle district by President Haddock of the Allegheny Mountain Association of the A. A. U. The principal duties of the newly appointed commissioner will be to see that all amateur affairs are duly sanctioned by the A.

M. A and that all participants are duly registered in the A. A. U. Horner has been active in local A.

A. U. circles for several years as a track man. This fall at Bethany he captained and coached the first cross-country team ever or ganlzed at Bethany College. Riley Smith, 200-pound Alabama quarterback, is one of the foremost blockers in the land.

When the Crimson Tide missed the ball carrying of Millard (Dixie) Howell, Smith suddenly revealed that he had exceptional talent along that line, too. It is unnecessary for me to tell you about Grayson. Bob Zuppke, Lou Little, Jimmy Phelan, Frank Thomas, Howard Jones every coach who has seen him describe him as the most vicious ground gainer in, the sport. Although he weighs 192 pounds, Grayson Is one of the fastest men in the world. This product of Portland, would win both sprints and hurdles in the average track meet.

He calls plays from fullback and became a sharpshooting thrower of forward passes during the 1935 grind. Tinsley is pictured as the most polished end in Dixie since Gerald Dalrymple, Tulane's all -America of 1930 and '31. Wendt carries out all end assignments in masterful style. Dick Smith and Detzel charge fast and have the speed to get down the field. They are a great help to ends.

Captain Biff Jones reports that Wheeler, 227-pound senior, wrecked the line of every Big Six opponent of Oklahoma. Weller pulls out of the line to lead plays, and is a bulwark in the Princeton forward wall. Lester, a dependable snapper-back, combines all the other qualities of the topnotch center. This team may not suit everybody, but it would be entirely satisfactory to any coach if one like it reported each Sept. 15.

I doubt that the second and third squads are as much as a step behind, and, in conclusion, I might add that any coach gladly would settle for a combination picked at random from the boys let down with honorable mention. (Copyright. 1935. lor The Pittsburfh Press) By The United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 30 Vernal (Babe) Le Voir, who started the season as a quarterback and was shifted to fullback and then to halfback, today was named the most valuable player on the 1933 University of Minnesota football team.

Schmidt then broke through the fast tiring Army line for 23 yards before Meyer finally pulled him down from behind on the four-yard line. Pratt plunged for Case failed, and Schmidt ripped off two as the third period ended with the ball on Army's one-yard line. On the first play of the final period, Schmidt catapulted through Army's left tackle for the touchdown. Cole failed to convert. Army made 11 first down to Uavy's 17, and gained 334 yards to Navy's 277.

Almost all of the Cadets' yardage was gained in the first half and a greater portion of the Navy's in the last half.

Meyer Tosses Strike Meyer took the ball, fade'd back a few yards and threw a strike into True's arms. The pass was about eight yards, and True legged it 35 yards down the side lines for the Cadets' third touchdown. Grove converted and the first period ended with Army leading, 21-0.

The Army march wasn't over and the touchdown hungry Cadets man ufactured their fourth touchdown as soon as they obtained possession of the ball again. Weary from racing through the Middies' ranks, it took the Cadets 10 plays this time to score. In three attempts, Meyer made 21 yards. Then the little wiry son of an Army colonel, who was born on an army reservation, tossed a 10-yard pass to Arpad Kopscak, of Greensburg, Pa. Grohs made five and Grove four.

Grohs made two and first down on Navy's four-yard line. Meyer made two at Navy's right end, and Grohs plunged over for the touchdown. Grove kicked goal, and that ended the Cadets relentless march. Navy, beaten but courageous to the last, battled back in the second half to score one touchdown and miss two more, one by five yards and the other by 14 when their offense sputtered out. Schmidt Leads Drive Schmidt, Navy hero in a lost cause, led this drive which covered 80 yards.

He brought a punt back 20 yards to Navl's 40. Then he ripped off six yards. Pratt knifed through for 12. Schmidt made seven and Pratt two. Schmidt plunged for four and first down on Army's 27.

Continued off. Army shot the first bolt which split the Middies' ranks asunder. Army kicked off and on the third play Sneed Schmidt, Navy fullback, punted ever the Cadets' goal. Army put the ball in play on its own 20-yard line. Little "Monk" Meyer, 145 pounds of concentrated courage, hit the big Navy line and bounded off for no gain.

Then the Cadets struck. Bill Grohs, quarterback from St. Paul, took the pass from center, started to his left. When he neared the line of scrimmage, he handed the ball to Ed (Whitey) Grove, right halfback from Glen-wood, Minn. Grove, churning through the soft turn with short strides, ran wide to his right, cut around Navy's left wing, and headed full speed down the sidelines.

The Army blockers mowed down the whole Navy left side, went through and picked off the secondary and Grove raced 80 yards for the first touchdown. Frank Case, Navy fullback from Evanston, 111., chased Grove the last 30 yards, but never got closer than two yards. Grove converted. Another Touchdown Three minutes later Army had another touchdown. Conrad Ne-crason, Cooperstown, N.

inter cepted a Navy pass on Army's 44. It took only four plays to plant the ball behind Navy's goal. Grove swept Navy's right end for 15 yards. Meyer plunged for seven. Grohs failed to gain.

Then Meyer rifled a 25-yard pass to Grove, who ran the remaining nine yards for the score. Grove converted. The next time the Cadets got the ball, they started another touchdown march which covered 80 yards in five plays. Clint True, fullback from New Orleans, ripped off five, 1 Jie had anything against the game. It was simply that nobody had thought to call it to his attention so he had concentrated on baseball, the horses and an occasional drag at the dogs.

Oeorge's place was packed this night and to his amazement there was nothing being talked but football. It was rilney this and Jumping Joe Williams that; the lady in red was going on about forward passes and the table next to the door was up to its neck in blocked punls. This went on for hours and along about midnight when his friend from the newspaper walked in. George was getting a little pigskin daffy himself. he said, "if they get this -way over football, I think 111 go down to Columbus tomorrow and see one of them things." So it was arranged they would go together the following morning.

Somebody Say Odds? THE special train was loaded with Ohio Staters. They waved pennants, they sang songs, they tilted flasks and they jabbered about 30 to 0, thirteen points and Ohio and 2 to 1. George paid no attention to the pennants, he didn't know the words of the songs, the flasks didn't interest him because he had been off the stuff for 12 vears but when he got an earful of that 2 to 1. he felt he was among friends. Now they were beginning to talk his own language.

"How would a snatch of that short end go? Have them Notre Dames got something or am they?" he inquired casually of his companion. The reply was that the Irish would be fair short enders if they were up against the Russian army. That was all George needed to know. Very quietly he revealed to a nearby stranger that he would fancy laving something on them Notre Dames and shortly he was the center of a wild knot of Ohios who insisted on being accorded the privilege of a wager. in less than no time at all George discovered he had $2000 astride "them Notre Dames.

Well, the game starts, as games have a habit of doing and the Notre Dames up and threw a forward pass which the Ohios Immediately catch and turn into a touchdown. It's the Build-Up GEORGE takes it without a quiver. "They use the come -on in this stuff, too, I see," he whispers to his friend. A little later there is a lot more confusion and running hither and yon down on the field, all of which is lost on George, but he does note that the numbers on the scoreboard have been altered on the Ohio side to read 13 instead of 7. This is somewhat of a shock and George's friend is feeling pretty badly about George's two grand.

As for George, he lights a large cigar, smiles benevolently on all present and says, "They sure know how to build 'em up for the suckers, don't they?" At this his friend all but swoons. It comes to him that George thinks all along it is in the bag and that he had a tip on a sure thing. Between halves he does hist best to explain that perhaps George might go home without his $2000 and profit, that perhaps the Notre Dames were badly rated and so on, but George is unperturbed. When the friend is through George favors him with a knowing wink and remarks that the Ohio States have a swell band if nothing else. It's the Works SO the battle goes on.

Everybody knows how the Irish suddenly reversed the plot and began creeping up on the cocksure Ohioans. When they got their first touchdown George nudged his partner and grinned. "The works is on," he assured him. Then came the second score and it was 13 to 12. George laughed out loud at that but it was lost in the tornado of sound that rocked the stadium.

"A pushover!" he bellowed in his friend's ear to be heard above the din. The latter was green around the gills by this time. There were seconds left to play, Ohio still was a point to the good and the Notre Dames were so far from the goal line there seemed no chance they would ever jet there. But George is never batting an eve. He is firing a fresh cigar when a Notre Darner runs back with the ball in his hands, stands in his tracks an instant to get his Farmingdale Gets 1936 Publinks Play Tourney Date Set for' July 20-25 Bp The United Press NEW YORK, Nov.
