By RALPH W. BREWER ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 30. Football progress in Louisiana was clearly demonstrated during the 1926 season by the capture of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association championship by Centenary college of Shreveport. Louisiana, represented by Centenary, LouisianaTech, Southwestern and Louisiana college, had one of the strongest state groups iiTtTie organization.

Centenary's 7 to 0 victory over Tech put the Gentlemen on top of the heap in Louisiana, but the Bulldogs, coached by H. E. "Gob" Wilson, gave the Shrevcportcrs a hard conflict. The Gentlemen closed their season and firmly established their claim to the title by walloping Oglethorpe easily, and as the Petrels were strong in the eastern half of the association it gave some idea of what Louisiana teams can do. By HAROLD "RED" GRANGE World's Most Famous Football Player.

(Written Expressly for Universal Sen-ice Copyright, 1926, by U. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Making Ail-American football selections is much more difficult than I ever imagined up to the time I set out about a month ago to get details on the flaying ability of several outstanding stars. Each football follower with whom I talked had some player whom he touted as positively the best anywhere at his particular position.

I heard about so many stars that I became dizzy trying to reduce them into groups of 11 players. I have never known of an All-America eleven that met with anything like general satisfaction I do not expect that my selections will be any exception to the rule. The field is too extensive to be covered without missing some players who, perhaps, possess more ability than the men who meet with general approval. And yet I. believe it is possible to get a good line on most of the outstanding stars of the game.

I know, from observation, about the playing ability of at least half of the men I have named, and I have had glowing reports about the others. On the -first team that I have "vT" MOSTIL FASTEST RUNNER, SAYS EDDIE COLLINS SHERDEL GETS TOUGH BREAK IN BIG SERIES ETHEL ALLEN, JEWELL KIDDON, ANN LACY, CAPTAIN EDNA KENNARD, HESTER CHURCHILL, DOROTHY LOW, PHYLLIS SPELLER AND HELEN WIND ECKER ARE SHOWN IN THE TOP ROW. Playing under girls' basket ball rules, the Central M. E. five of Detroit is recognized as the national champions.

What is more, the Detroit stars are not one whit afraid of defending the title. In fact, tbey invite competition. Recently the team was invited to play the Grads at Edmonton, Alberta, one of the country's greatest teams playing under men's rules, who for several years held the title of world championships. Playing under girls' rules, the Central M. E.

team ti nished out in front, 41-29, but lost under the men's rules, 36-16. Since total points were to count, Edmonton won, 65-57. Having had only five weeks of preparation under men's rules, the showing of the Detroit five was remarkable. Under girls' rules the manner in which Edmonton was beaten proved the Central five invincible at that game. MJJ DY JOE ft AN OLD FIGURE RETURNS.

WILLIAM F. CARRIGAN is coming back to baseball. To many of the present day fans the name of Bill Carrigan does not Varry any great amount of significance, but to the fellows who were weU up on the diamond alphabet before the World war it carries many memories. Bill Carrigan in those days before the conflict overseas was pilt of the Boston American league club. At the close of the 1916 season he retired from the major league diamond amid a blaze of glory, and as leader of the world champion.

Carrigan is now coming back to baseball by the way of his old love, the Boston Red he takes over his old duties. Information from Boston Tuesday night was that Carrigan has been signed to pilot the Red Sox in 1927, succeeding Lee Fohl, who recently gave up the luckless task. Carrigan gave the fans of Boston Eddie Collins, In his day one of the game's fastest base runners, regards Johny Mostil, of the White Sox, aa the best base runner In the American league. MoMil is very fast and has sturdy pair of legs hardly the type you wonld expect of an expert base runer.

as he should. Often the loss of one step is the difference between out and safe at second. Carnegie' Coach Says Micks Were Really 'Set Ups Efl-VAN-fK VENDER, (Ciuiyrltfht. 1I8. by Universal Krvli.) Chicago, Nov.

30. Tho crushing defeat handed to Notre Dan.e last Saturday by the athletes of Carnegie Tech, wss no "upset." In fact, it was just the reverse. It was the "set up." Now these statements, you can gobble up, swallow and devour, or you can leave them standing, are given for what they are worth and they were taken from the mouth of one Mr. Walter Pteffen, judge of the supreior court of Cook county, III. Incidentally, Mr.

Steffen is the coach of that Carnegie Tech team. He learned his football from that greatest of all mentors, "Old Man" Stagg, out at the University of "Why," said the amiable Mr. Steffen, when he rtv.rned to his chambers today and made ready to Don Khe judicial robes, "we had Notfe Dame's number. "We knew we had the better team. Our reliable scouts had seen Mr.

Rockne's proteges play the Army and Drake and the game last Saturday-turned out the way our advisers predicted it would. "We felfthat we were misjudged, not only by the South Benders, but by the football public as well. But we didn't misjudge Notre Dame. "Perhaps the Irish were a little overconfident, but our scouts said that they played better football than they did against the Army. "It was amusing for us to s-ie what happened when Notre Dame put in its famous "first team" after starting as usual with the second string.

"As long as the second string mei were in there, it was a fairly even struggle, but when the terror inspiring first team rambled in, we scored two touchdowns right away. "Well, the game is over, the season Is over and we won and we beat Notre Dame." Whitehouse attracted attention vby kicking 13 consecutive extra points for his team. The four schools have four mora me ndeserving special mention all backfield aces in the making. They are Blackshear, of Centenary; Bos', of Tech; Parker, of Louisiana college, and Thomas, of Southwestern. LOST TEN GAMES.

BASV CHICK DOESW'T REFER T2 TH PRICE OF Tho Ruston Bulldogs defeated Southwestern at Lafayette, 23 to 0, but in justice to Coach Mobley's team, let it be said that there is a well founded belief that S.

L. I. bad an off-day, got all the bad breaks and was not as weak as the score would indicate. Really, there was very little difference between Centenary, Tech and Southwestern, notwithstanding the records of each squad. These three were a little stronger than the Louisiana college Wildcats, but Coach Walden's team also had an off-day when Southwestern visited I'incville and won, 83 to 7.

The Cats had defeated Slate Normal, 14 to 7, on the previous Monday and were not at their best. The Demons gained a scoreless tie with Southwestern, whereas the Tinevilie team had won from them and fell easy victims to Southwestern's passing attack which became a boomerang in the Tech struggle at Lafayette. However, the Cats had the lightest material averaging 156 pounds. It probably was the smallest team in the association. An honest effort has been.

made to award the outstanding players on the four teams who played best at their respective positions with what little honor may accompany the announcement of a Louisiana I. A. A. all-star team. The choices have -bepn -mrnle after seeing all four teams and every man in action.

We believe the first team Is composed of the eleven best gridiron performers on the four teams. On the first all-star eleven Centenary has five players, Tech, Southwestern and Louisiana college two each. On the second team Tech, Southwestern and Louisiana college have three each and Ccnenary two. This gives Centenary seven in all, Tech, Southwestern and Louisiana college five each. Taking up the selections by positions, we find every team used green men on the ends.

Perhaps Hamel, of Centenary, was the best man at the left terminal. Although one -of the smallest on the squad, he fit nicely into Coach Norton's machine. Few ends were In the class with Tatum, of Louisiana college. Big, tall, strong on defense and offense, he was a great help to the little Wildcat line. Finley, of the Wildcats, and Aucoin, of Southwestern, are rated second best with honorable mention for Kcpke, of Centenary.

Tech had a strong pair of tackles, while Sonthwestern's and Centenary were powerful also. Davis, of Tech, and Tabor, of Southwestern, are the best two, with Stewart, of Centenary, and Yeldell, of Tech, second choice. Although smaller, Adnms, of the Lafayette Bulldogs, and Baird, of the Wildcats, were good. Let's look over the centers and then return to the guards, because roason. Two sterling per formers at the snapper-back position were captains Rebsamen, of Centenary, and Doc White, of Louisiana college.

There Is little to choose between them and both belong on any man's team. The only reason White has been assigned to center on the first team is because Rebsamen probably will fit in better at guard. This puts them both in the starting line- up. This shake-up leaves Pankey and Nichols. Pankey is smaller, but is a veteran.

He fc-ets the call on the second eleven. With one guard position filled there Is a merry scramble for tho other job, but when the situation is studied, closely one man is found who stands out in a class by himself referring to Binion, of Centenary. Southwestern had a strong pair in Hockey and G. Dupuis. Louisiana college had two scrapping little guards in B.

Walker and Sorrells, while Harper and Slay were good at Tech. It will be hard to improve on Binion and Rebsamen on the first team, and Hockey and Dupuis as reserves. This completes the line: Hamel, Davis, Binion, White, Rebsamen, Tabor and Tatum. Heavy enough and built for service it can do all the things necessary to make a strong forward wall. Now for the backfield problem.

Beam, of the Gentlemen, easily ranks as the best quarterback of the four, and Fletcher, the Cats' field general, has little opposition for second place. There are three outstanding fullbacksCaptain Hogg, of Tech; Letteer and Courmier. They rank in this order, and there should be little question about that. This Is Cour-mier's first season on the varsity and he Is awarded honorable mention. These three average 200 pounds.

In Pineville the fullback, Ward Johnson, weighed exactly 125 pounds. The woods seem to be full of halfbacks, or should be, but to get down to brass tacks, there were only two players at this position who h-ld the spotlight and were important factors in their teams' work. They are Captain Theriot, of Southwestern, and "Bear" Allday, of Centenary. Next in order are Willis, of Tech, and Whitehouse, of Louisiana college. chosen there are four players from the eastern group, five from the middle west and two from the Pacific coast.

In the three elevens I have named 18 easterners, 14 from the middle west and three from the far west. I have not purposely overlooked the south, because I desired to make these selections as general as possible. But I had no reports to indicate that any southern player would displace any of the men of these teams. All of which gets us to the basis of all selections of this kind. We name only the men we know about, either through observation or through the reports of others.

some greater stars are omitted it is "because I do not know of them. I have made no attempt to stick to right and left in naming linemen, as I believe a high class end, tackle or guard can play on either side of the line. In the backfield, as football is played today, it makes little difference whether a man is called a quarterback, a halfback or a fullback. Shipkey of Stanford and Broda of Brown are my choice for the end positions, with Oosterbaan and Hanson paired on the second team, and Hubbard and Born on the third. Shipkey, according to the players who cnmo east with George Wilson, Ernie Nevers and Brick Muller is a marvel.

They told me he was the greatest end they had ever seen and that surely is expert testimony. He is unquestionably the best end in the west, starring alike on defense and as a forward pass receiver. Broda Is the outstanding -end In the east and one of the big figures in Brown's greatest season. He played almost every minute of every game and always starred up to the final game with Colgate. But he did enough to earn top rating, with Hanson of Syracuse close behind.

For tackles I have selected Wick-' horst of the Navy and Johnson of Northwestern, with other places allotted to Cothran and Lassman, Sprague and Nelson. Wickhorst is fast, smart and powerful, and a hard charging lineman. He was a good player when I knew him as a freshman at Illinois, and he has improved each year, reaching his best form this season. Little ground was r.ained through him at any time this year and he was a tremendous factor in the success of the Navy team. Johnson, the other first string tnckle, is as fast as a lot of backs, and Btood out above a flock of great linemen in the conference.

I played r.Rainst him when he was a sophomore and he has developed steadily. He ean do every task of a lineman as well as anybody I know about. Connaugbton of Georgetown and Hess of Ohio State get the call for; the guard positions, with Smith and Shively, and Carey and Sturhahn Tiext and his work this year was of I he same high caliber. He is big and fast and equally strong on offense r.nd defense. Connaughton, with 280 pounds and surprising speed to go with the weight, is the outstanding guard of the year.

Any man of that i-ize who combines speed and strength with it is bound to be a great First honors as a center go to Boc-ringer of Notre Dame. He is a won-! rierful passer and his timing is perfect. Under the Rockne system, which hinges on the center to such a great extent, the passing and timing must be close to perfection. It takes a real center to stand out on Rockno's tenm and Boeringer shines, just as AdamWalsh did. I believe Boeringer is as good a center as Walsh was.

Butler of Pennsylvania and Reitsch of Illinois ate second snd third choice, respectively. In naming Benny Friedman for quarterback I ean only repeat what I said of him In my all-conference story. He is a' crafty team general, one of the beet passers in the.coun-try, a strong kicker and both fast snd elusive as a ball carrier. I think without any doubt be is one of the great quarterbacks of recent years, if not of football history. Kelly of Montana and Caulkins of Princeton get the other places.

As halfbacks my choice for the first team are Kaer of Southern California and Rogers of I'enn, with Baker and Flanagan on the second team, and Wilcox and Hamilton on the third. Kaer, a track man, is the best open field -runner in the game today. He runs well from scrimmage or in carrying back punts. He led the country in scoring last year and now tops the coast scorers. Hor1so pnssea well and is a good kicker, Rogers is another great ground gainer, in fact, the most consistent in the east.

He is seldom thrown for a loss, Is a good triple threat and is a strong defensive back as well. In fact, he is a capable performer at anything that he attempts on a foot- Joesting. of Minnesota, as I said in picking--the conference teams, it a "To the winner goon-the glory in baseball, although the, work of the loser is often equally good, if not better," says Grover Cleveland Alexander.

(Copyright. 192S. Associated Editors, Inc.) Boston Woman Sets New Time for Long Walk Boston, Nov. 30 (VP).

Miss Eleonora Sears, who is a tennis player and horsewoman, has sprain demonstrated her athletic ability by clipping 43, minutes from her previous time in walkinir from Providence to Boston. Monday night she was giving a celebration and dance at her home after a few hours rest. Last December she held her honors against men pacemakers, who hiked the distance with her. Monday she shared them with Miss Elizabeth Ryan, internationally known tennis player, who finished abreast of Miss Scars. The start was made from Provl-dence at 12:55 this morning.

Five men wbo rode In the accompanying automobiles served alternately as pacemakers. Miss Scars and Miss Ryan wore walking shoes and heavy storkings. They halted for a moment in Wrentham for a cup of cocoa, 20 minutes in Dcdham for breakfast and a little Inter paused for a drink of coffee. They reached Miss Sears' home here at 10:50. an elapsed time of nine hours and 53 minutes.

Although the distane generally Is reckoned at 44 miles, Miss Sears declared that It Is actually 47. She said that Miss Ryan had trained with her for six weeks in preparation for the hike. She declared It was not a race, except that she hoped she wruld better the time she made iast year. Although Clifton Church, ftf-year-nlii veteran, gallantly handc to Miss Rears the crown he had Worn since 3S75, when he said he completed the distance In 10 hours flat, another claimant for the reend on the now popular course has appeared. Friends of Jean Bassis, employed in an At-tloboro factory, asserted that on September 11 she completed the distance in nine hours 26 minutca.

I winners in 1915 and me and world's champions each season. In 1915 his team won four out of five games from Philadelphia and in 1916 they retained tho world's title by defeating Brooklyn four out of five games. In his playing days the Red Sox' new pilot was a catcher and he served the majority of his time in a Boston uniform. The Red Sox' last pennant was in 1918, with Edgar Barrow, now associated with the New York Giants, serving as manager. Barrow piloted the team to victory in the title fight, winning four out of six games from Chicago.

Since the failure of the Red Sox to make any real progress, and more so since Lee Fohl's job was vacated, the name of Carrigan has been mentioned for the pilot i job, The deal has been in the "air" for some time. Many were certain that. Carrigan, a wealthy and influential man of business outside of baseball, would con tinue to remain out of the game and live on the glory he won in earlier days. It -is said many of Carrigan's friends did not desire to see him "come back," feeling he was taking over a hopeless task in Boston. Along with Carrigan was mentioned the name of Harry Hooper as pilot.

Hooper served his time at Boston, where he is highly respected, and probably would have been the choice had Carrigan declined. THAT FAMOlisRED SOX CLUB. The return of Carrigan to baseball recalls that famous team he piloted in iis, when he won his first Ameri can league pennant. He turned in 101 victories to 50 defeats that year. un the carrigan squad in 1915 were such sterling hurlcrs as George H.

Ruth, now the home ran king of the major league: Vean Greeir. Hubert "Dutch" Leonard, Carl Mays, Ernest Uhore, erb Fennock, bmokey Joe Woods and Ray Collins. In the infield were Dick Hoblitsel, Del Gainer. John Barry, Harold Janvrin, William Gardner and the Deacon Everett Scott. The outfield consisted of Tristram Speaker, the big spoke of the baseball wheel of the majors for years; George Lewis, JIarry Hooper and Olaf Hendriksen.

Carrigan did some of the catching and had Forest Cady, Chester Thomas and Haley helping with the mask work. In the 1916 race Carrigan carried practicaljy the same outfit back into action, but Tris Speaker was missing. The "Spoke" had been transferred to Cleveland. Clarence Walker took Speaker's place in the Red Sox outfield. Carrigan added a new young southpaw in Samuel Pond Jones, who later made bis mark and is yet quite a hurler.

It would not be surprising to a majority of persons' familiar with the dealings in big league circles if Eddie Trowbridge Collins, deposed leader of the Chicago White Sox, becomes man. ager of the Cleveland Indians. With his reputation as a leader established, despite the fact that he failed to win a championship at Chicago, Collins appears the most logical free agent for the job. Speaker's resignation follows closely on a splendid race made by the Indians. At times it appeared as though Cleveland would haul down the Yankees as flag winners in 1920, but they were never able to gain sufficient momentum and that is what probably vexed the Cleveland cluh owner.

The Indians will probably select their manager before the opening of the annual baseball meeting in December, so he can parley with the other chiefs at the session regarding talent.
