WALSH New York (INS) Following a national survey and poll of opinion by spokesmen from every major section, the International News Service today is presenting its annual All America football team, with the two seaboards, east and far west, taking seven of the eleven positions.

Six of the first team selec MILWAUKEE, WIS. One has to attend one of these minor or major league baseball sessions to appreciate the vastness of the St. Louis Cardinals' chain store system as well as the businesslike manner in Which this gigantic organization is operated. One can't turn around in the Schroeder hotel lobby today without bumping into a Cardinal representative, big or small. The Cardinals ij, i MW" i 4Si 11 NuVf Iff viz have the largest delegation of men at this or any other meeting.

The big boss is Branch Rickey, the general manager, and not Sam Breadon, the principal owner. An able executive, Rickey is hidden away in his hotel suite pulling the strings and doing the directing. His agents are on the trading floor (the concrete lobby). They do all of the preliminary work, report to the big boss; then he issues the orders. This St.

Louis outfit has no less than 30 men representing every known league at this minor league session. Checking over the group, we find that the Cardinals own or have working agreements with one major league club, three in double one I.N.S.

But though Frank failed as a runner in his two big games wtih Dartmouth and Harvard, his defensive genius, his blocking, passing and quarterbacking was such that in the final count, he remained that ideal of the gridiron, a "coaches' ball player." Kinard got his tackle position only after a rugged rally all the way from Shirey and Joe Routt almost beat Dougherty out of his place at guard, with Monsky polling a strong vote also.

The latter's teammate, Joe Kilgrow, finally won the fullback position, but not without a rousing contest from Davis, Rohm (actually a halfback), and Christianson, Minnesota. As for the two first team ends, they were crowded from the start by Souchak, Jordan, Sweeney, Bershak: Benton, Arkansas; Daddio, Pitt; Miller, Dartmouth, and a half dozen others. Perhaps the oddest feature of the voting was that Babartsky, the Fordham tackle, ran consistently ahead of the more celebrated Ed Franco from the same team, the contention being that Babartsky was the more consistent. Franco's trouble, it seemed, was that his flair for the spectacular sometimes carried him afield and left his position open for reverse plays. The same conscientious effort to solve the seating problem at the University of Minnesota which marked the original meeting of the selected committee was evident again yesterday when the sub-committee of five met for the first time.

Machinery to make a detailed study of the problem was set up, and so thorough will be its survey that a report is not anticipated for at least two months. The Board of Regents will be asked for an appropriation to finance the study. The sub committee is made up of Prof. John Reig-hard, assistant dean of the Business school as chairman, Dr. Larry Doyle, president of the club; Carroll Geddes, student financial adviser; and Charles Ireys, vice president of the Russell-Miller milling company, and Joe Toner, representing the students.

Also present were Leslie Schroeder, ticket manager; and E. B. Pierce, chairman of the Senate committee. RICKEY Third Team Second Team Pos. RAY KING Chosen on All America football team Sweeney, Notre Dame Ryba, Alabama Dartmouth California Twedell, Minnesota Babartsky, Fordham N.

Lipscomb of Duke, by the way, came in for considerable favor, probably as a result of his excellent effort against Pitt in the final game of the year. Many of the observers liked Gatto, LSU tackle, for the third team. Struck and Foley, the Harvard backs, received a scattered mention. So did MacLeod and Hutchinson, the Dartmouth backs. Likewise Luckman of Columbia and Gray of Oregon State, These were only a comparative few in the long line of nominees.

Lambert memorial trophy, em-blematic of leadership among eastern gridiron teams. in class four in four in and 15 in D. From that setup, it's easy to explain why the Cardinals have so many players. They concentrate on the raw rookies, then develop them, with the major leagues their eventual goal.

The Cardinals must be given credit for trying to give every baseball-minded youngster a chance to go into this profession. They scour the country for talent on a most systematic basis with an organization that does nothing but this work through the year. From every prospect they demand the following two natural gifts speed and good throwing arms. Fielding and batting are secondary in the first sift of material. That comes later in actual competition where more fall by the wayside as they show a permanent weakness In some department We don't think these chain stores are an asset to baseball, but they have some good qualities.

However, we marvel at the St. Louis organization and the smooth manner in which it handles its tremendous amount of business. Branch Rickey, a smart gent if baseball ever had one, Is responsible for it. How long this organization would last if he stepped out is a question that can't be answered until it happens. But as long as he's on the job, he'll keep the works moving most effectively.

Once again, The Star's Karl Erseen leads the way even though by-only a small margin. His leadership isn't anything new to football fans or for those who follow his predictions in other lines. He's uncanny as an accurate sport forecaster. Look at the standings for 1937 in football: Risrht Wrong Ties Pet.

However, there is still another and fairer way of determining the relative abilities of these guessers. That is to gauge all of them on the same basis judging them only on games where all picked the same events. Even by such a comparison Erseen leads the field.

Erseen out in front again. It's not a new experience for him because in basketball, football and baseball he has an enviable record that stretches over a period of years. And here's the strange part of it: he goes to very few sports events. ir ir DE CORREVONT IN DIFFICULT SPOT "DASEBALL MEN two years ago got wise to themselves and staged their annual meetings after the football season was over instead of when the gridiron campaign was at its height. As a result, their sessions get more publicity and more serious attention.

However, it's impossible to discard football entirely even at this date, when baseball deserves the spotlight. The scribes, of whom there are hundreds here, still get into the football business occasionally. This morning we moved in on a group of Chicago scribes to And out what was going on. To our surprise, we discovered that the subject of conversation wm the most highly publicized pre star in the past decade Billy De Correvont of Chicago. This boy scored over 204 points in prep competition this fall.

He gained such a fine reputation that in his finale game last Saturday he showed before 102,000 paid customers for what should be an all time record for high school attendance. And strange as it may seem, Billy didn't stumble all over himself as these publicized youngsters often do when such a big crowd is looking on. Among the things we found out about Billy is that he's a normal especially when the pressure was on him. A proficient blocker and burgh Second Team Pos.

This gave the shade to Dartmouth. While on eastern football and the Ivy league, let us say that they all report Frank of Yale a really great player. As a sample of his smartness In one game, going down for a pass and realizing that he would have difficulty in getting it ahead of the defensive back coming up rapidly, Frank, using a basketball trick, jumped, batted the ball over the defensive players' heads, ran around, caught the ball, and kept going.
