8 (JP). Twenty-one varsity cage aspirants are working out in their second week of practice under the direction of Coach Francis A. Schmidt at the University of Arkansas, in preparation for the season which opens December 17-18, with a brace of contests against the veteran Tahlequah (Okla.) Normal quintet. Drill in fundamentals occupied the candidates last week. Training regulations were put in full force, and strenuous practices were carded for the latter part of this week.

Selection of different combinations and pruning of the squad will be deferred until Coach Schmidt has ample time for thorough inspection of the material at hand. Following the pre-Christmas game with the Tahlequah Redmen, the Ra-zorbacks will remain idle until the closing days of the holiday vacation. Conference rulings prohibit scheduling of games during the seven-day period surrounding Christmas. This automatically cancels any plans similar to those of the past three years, when the Razorback squads barnstormed throughout the vacation period. After the ban is lifted on December 27, the squad will assemble at Little Rock and start their series of four games.

Those already booked include clashes with Little Rock and Jonesboro quintets, with the possibility of another court engagement with the Jonesboro Aggies. At present only five members of the squad which brought to Arkansas its first major sport championship in years are battling with the newcomers for varsity berths. The Arkansas mentor is confronted with a virtual rebuilding of the organization, but is hopeful that sufficient reserve material can be secured from the sophomore candidates to make the Porkers title honor winners, (f lllHVELY BOVUHGt mVfMAH "riNGi II I SrmJ Center-Boerlnger, Notre Dame Center Boeringer, Notre Dame Left End Hanson, Syracuse Left Tackle Wickhorst, Navy Left Guard Connaughton, Georgetown Right Guard Shlvely, Illinois Right Tackle Smith, Brown Right End Oosterbaan, Michigan Quarterback Friedman, Michigan Left Halfback Baker, Northwestern Right Halfback Kaer, Southern California Fullback Joesting, Minnesota Copyright, CoHler'a, the National Weekly.

PASS ON APPEAL OF TIGERS BOSS By WARREN BROWN.

(Universal Service Maff Correspondent.) Chicago, Dec. 6. At its regular weekly meeting Tuesday, the Illinois athletio commission may pass upon the request of Walk Miller, "Tiger" Flowers' manager, for a reversal of Referee Benny Yaneer's decision, which transferred the middleweight championship to "Mickey" Walker. Opinion is divided on the possibili ties of the reversal. Chairman John C.

Righeimer would issue no formal statement, and Paul Prehn, another of the commissioners, who is said to favor the reversal, wag out of town. It appears, at this time, that Rig heimer is concerned solely with making a decision in which he can best defend his position. It is fairly well established, Dy thi time, that if there was a mistake in Yanger's verdict, it was an honest one. No one has prouueeu any evidence of conniving on the part of the referee, or any of the princi pals of the contest. So the entire matter boils down to this: Is tho commission entitled to reverse a referee on a point of judgment? Nothing else, so far as can be ascertained, is involved in the present aituation.

Bad decisions in this state' have been more of a rule than an exception, since the game was legalized. If the commission feels that it can reverse a referee in one fight, why shouldn't It be asked to reverse other referees, any time a manager of a fighter feels that his man has been robbed? CLASS FOOTBALL GETS UNDER WAY ATC.E.BYRDHIGH By R. C. McCOY. The Junior and freshman football teams of C.

E. Byrd high school will scrimmage for the first time today. To this time they have been running signals and blocking. The freshmen, coached by Jake Hanna and Joe Zaf-fata, will meet tho sophomores next Friday to determine who will play the winner between the juniors and seniors. Seniors and sophomores have been scrimmaging for the last four days.

Rawlins Harper, who has been going out for the sophomore fractured his shoulder blade Monday in the scrimmage between the two sophomore teams. This has been the only accident so far. The seniors, coached by Mercer Tinnclle and Hollis Miller, have a line that will be hard to get through. They are now trying to develop a back field. The object of these class football teams is to develop material for the coach to work with next year and also to teach the boys that have had no experience the things that they should know about football.

As for material Coach Knilang will not be without that for a good whtle. AS CHAMPIONS PLAY IT MASTERING TWE NECESSARY COLF SHOTS RfQUIRtt YEARS Of A PReNCTltt PONT WAKE TIME ON mcKSHorrs Does the mastery of "trick" shots hurt a golfer's ordinary game? By ABE G. ESPINOSA On of America's Leading Professionals I believe the mastery of trick shots is a decided detriment to the player. Wliile one very famous golfer is a master of trick shots, I think he is the exception that goes to prove the rule. The necessary shots required to play a good game of golf require years of study so why waste time und cnercv to learn trick shots? In my experience as a young player I delighted in trick shots, tut 1 found that when 1 had been practicing these shots to any extent I was inclined to go off my game in a match, so I leave trick shots to the other fellow.

has continued unabated despite the legislation of the rule makers. A few years ago rumor had it that Michigan and Yost might sever relations. One of the big universities of California had offered him practically twice the salary he was at Michigan. It has later developed that there never was a chance of Yost leaving Michigan as long as the Ann Arbor institution wanted him. There is sentiment in Yost's soul.

Money isn't his god by any means. Recently I chatted with a prominent Califorriian who tried to win over Yost from Michigan. "Really there never was a chance to get him," said my informant. "When we told him he could name his salary, he replied; never could leave Michigan. I fep-1 as if the college is a part of me and I am a part of it.

Everywhere I go some Michigas alumni are ther The All-America football team for 1926 appears in this week's issue of Collier's Weekly, which makes its thirty-eighth selection of the mythical all-star national team orginated by that publication. Grantland Rice, successor of Walter Camp as namer of the All-America team, received the co-operation of 10 celebrated coaches Glenn S. Warner of Stanford, Robert B. Zuppke, Illinois; G. C.

Woodruff, Georgia; Knute Rockne, Notre Dame; Wallaca Wade, Alabama; Capt. J. J. McEwan, Oregon; W. A.

Alexander, Georgia Tech; Howard Jones, Southern California; E. P. Madigan, St. Mary's, and Dan E. McGuigan, Vander-bilt.

As in the last team named by Walter Camp no member of the so-called "Big Three" appears in the line-up. Geographically, the west predomin ates in the selections, securing seven places against four from the east. The work of selection represents expert eye-witness impressions from all the leading games of the season, producing the All-America and national honor roll of star players. The selections of Grantland Rice. noted football expert, would be hard to improve on.

The players he has named for his first team are brilliant performers, mighty deserving of the national recognition accorded. All sections, except the south, are represented. Alabama, with an outstanding end in Winslett and a great tackle in Pickhard, failed to make the grade. Of the 1925 team named by'Mr. Rice, eight graduated, only threa therefore having a chance to win the coveted honor again.

They wera Oosterbaan of Michigan, Hess of Ohio State and Thayer of Pennsylvania. Oosterbaan wan the only one of tho trio to repeat. Only a limited number of player have been accorded the distinction of being named for three successive years on Collier's All-America. Oosterbaan is in line for the big chance. He has already been selected as Michigan's 1927 captain.

It's a mighty fine team you bava selected, Grantland Rice. Congratu lations, old boy! Billy Evans. FOUR ILLINOIS 1 STARS EXCEED GRANGE'S MARK Urbana, 111., Dee. 6 of this year's football stars exceeded ths yardage record of 1,017 set by "Red" Grange in 1924, season totals compiled revealed today. It was recalled, however, that the famous iceman played only the equivalent of about five games in 1924, sitting on the hMh or scouting opponents.

Welch of the Pitt Panthers set the high mark of the year and also the new record with 1,190 yards. Manuel Laraneta of the University of Southern California was close behind with 1,166 yards. Norton Kaer, his teammate on the Trojans gained 1,121 yards for the season and Charles Rogers of Pennsylvania made an even 1,100. Close behind the Grange record were Donohue of Carnegie with B6i yards, "Cotton" Wilcox of Purdue with 9C7 and Herb Joesting of Minnesota with 91)2. Grange started his remarkabl-s record with four touchdowns against Michigan in 12 minutes of the first period, one from the opening kickoff and the second on the third play ef the game.

With four touchdowns on the scoreboard, Grange rested for most of the remainder of the contest, INTERVENES AND WANTS RECEIVER ACTION QUASHED New Orleans, Dec. 6 (Special). B. R. Hughes, a resident of Orleans parish, intervening in a suit filed Saturday in civil court asking that a receiver be appointed for the Southern Greyhound Racing association, with headquarters in New Orleans, and a racing plant in Shreveport, asked that the action be dismissed.

The suit was filed by A. F. Peterson, a contractor, who declared the association owed him $30,337.12 on two contracts for construction. R. J.

Williams, president of the association, filed an answer In which he admitted a receiver should be appointed. In his intervention Hughes said the as- gociation owed nothing to Peterson and denied that the contracts had been fulfilled. He also declared Williams was not a member of tha boail of directors of the association and was therefore in no position to authorize a statement that a receivership was advisable. to greet me and make me happy.

YOST ELEVENS DEFENSE IS FAR BELOW '25 MARK Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 6 (NEA Service).

Michigan, though losing but one game during the 1926 football soason, didn't come anywhere near boasting the fine defensive record the .1923 eleven did. The '25 team also 'cropped just a single fray. In 1925 only three points were eounted on the Yost machine. Northwestern got them in that famous mud battle. They were enough to send the Wolverines to defeat, however.

This year Michigan's opponents ran up 138 points in eight contests. Of these Ohio State scored the most 16. Then came Navy vith 10, Minnesota six and Oklahoma Aggies and Michigan State wit- three apiece. In 1925 Michigan blanked seven foes. This yaar only three were whitewashed Minnesota (first game), Illinois and Wisconsin.

CLOSER RACE NEXT SEASON, SAYS HEYDLER New York, Dec. 6 (NEA Service). President John Heydler of the National League looks for another great race in his organization the coming season. Recently in discussing the winning of the pennant by the Cardinals, he remarked: "Last year's race was a corker. We fcad five teams in the running right up until the last 10 days of the sea-- son.

Weather cloudy! track muT Louisiana Tech Looks for Good Basket Season Ruston, Dec. 6 The comple tion of a successful scaBon'on the gridiron finds the athletes of Lou isiana Tech now turning their atten tion to the next sport, basketball, with high hopes on the part of local followers of the cage game that the Red and Blue will gain unprecedented success on the floor. The cage game is somewhat of a new sport at Louisiana Tech, since the pastime was never indulged in there extensively until admission of the college to the Southern Intercol legiate Athletic association in 1925, and that last year was Tech'i first year in actual intercollegiate competition. The Bulldogs won six and lost seven contests in their initial season. The candidates for the squad were called out for practice this afternoon, seven letter men answering the initial gong for training.

Tentative arrangements have been made to hold practices hereafter at night. The frosh team will have the floor during the afternoon. The announcement that the games will be played at night instead of the afternoons, as was the case last season, is expected to bring out large galleries and make the cage game a success financially also. The wealth of material graduating from rox 1925 Bull Pup squad pro hibits nil predictions as to what men will carry the colors oj Tech this year, hut it is a coppcr-nvetcd cinch that Captain Tunliy" Davis will oc cupy his old position at center. In one game last year this versatile star looped 18 bankets from play.

The condition of a leg, broken on the grid early In the season, will play a large part in the work of Courtney, a star forward and letter man of last sea son. II. E. "Gob" Wilson, director of things athletic at Louisiana Tech, expects to have much material avail able in his effort to build a winning cage team for Tech. It is said that Wilson is a high class instructor and well versed in the tactics of the in door sport.

As head coach at Lou isiana State last year he put a for midable team on the floor. The schedule has not yet been com pleted, but it is expected that, Centenary, Louisiana College, Southwestern, Norma! and probably L. S. and a few 8. I.

5 Of). Within the next few days an official call will be issued at Louisiana college for candidates for the varsity and freshman basket-ball teams to report. Already many of the players have been at work ringing the baskets and with the class footbal games postponed until spring Coach II. E. Walden will be able to give considerable attention to the candidates.

Four of last year's regulars arc eligible, and five other members of the varsity squad are available in addition to the excellent 1925 freshman team. Coach Walden is working en the varsity and freshman schedules which will be announced in a few days. Meanwhile the basket-ball fans are studying the prospects which the coach admits are 'fair." Captain Lynn Parker of Crowville, Irving Vhitehousc, Austin latum and Luther Chandler are the four regulars ready for the whistle. Other members of the varsity squad who will bo seeking regular berths include "Red" Shows, Wallace deNux, Lee Lacombe, Henry Colvin and Paul Finley. Two sterling 1925 freshmen coming up will demand serious consideration and are counted upon to help fill the shoes of the departed heroes, among whom are Stupe Hatcher, Ikey Bankston, Dempsey Reid, Jerry Simmons, Louis Cayer and the late Ben Houston, whose death during the 1925-26 season affected tho team greatly.

Basketball was Houston's favorite game and he was regarded as one of the state's real stars at the sport. The two 1925 Kitten forwards who will be in the thick of the scramble for regular berths are Warren Ga-haran of the championship Urania high school team, and Ben Roberts of Alexandria. Earl Downs of Pine-ville was one of the leading scorers on the first-year quintet. Coach Walden has been turning out one of the strong basket-ball teams in the state every year, and basketball honors are not unknown to the wildcats at all. Games are pending with the Louisiana State university Tigers.

Southwestern Louisian Institute Bulldogs, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Normal Demons, Mississinni Collcee Choc- taws, Tulane Greenies and other teams. The Wildcats opened the season last year with a victory over Baylor, and drew capacity houses at every home game. More than 20 candidates are expected to report for the varsity workouts, while the Kittens will be preparing for their season which will include a trip to Miami, to play the Miami University freshmen.

By POOLY HUBERT, Captain and Star of Vnlvrraity of Alabama Llmuiplona. The Tournament of Roses game between Washington and Alabama New Year's day brought the most spectacular play of my career on the gridiron. It was a truly great spectacle from start to finish, with 46,000 persons packed in the magnificent stadium and enthusiasm running riot.

We, from Alabama, had never seen such a crowd, but it did not phase us as it was almost evenly divided as to cheering. It was not only the greatest crowd I ever played before, but the game was the greatest of my life and I am proud to look back upon it as the last of my collego contests. Our boys were keyed to the highest pitch for the game and were in the finest possible condition. We had won the southern championship and had gone to California very much of a dark horse. But out there thousands quickly rallied to our support and it made the cockles of our hearts warm to this faith in us.

When the game started it did not look very encouraging for our team. George Wilson, the great back from Washington, was a thorn in our sides who pricked us continually. Washington scored rather early and continued to hold its lead. During the first and second quarters we did not look so very good, though playing a fair sort of game. The second quarter ended with the score 12 to 0 in favor of Washington.

During the intermission we listened to our coaches give us a raking over that cut deep. When we went out ior vne iniru quarter we were a different team. We began shooting fast and soon had a touchdown over, making the score 12 to 7 in Washington's favor. That was not enough, by any means, and we began trying long chances, in order to get in the lead. We also began to double-cross our opponents, a form of strategy calculated to alarm any set of players.

Then came what I consider the most spectacular play of my existence. After trying a few line smashes, we suddenly switched and against most rules of tha proscribed game, determined upon a forward pass on first down. No sooner determined, than the play was called. Johnny Mack Brown, one of the fleetest backs in tho world, was sent down the field and the ball was passed to Gillie. I had been throwing most of the passes and this was a further part of our strategy.

Down the field went Brown at top speed and back a few steps went Gillie. Then a mighty hurl of the pigskin was made. It soared through the air and Johnny Mack ran faster than ever. Without turning up went Johnny Mack's arms and into his hands fell the ball a pass of 50 yards completed and no one near Brown. He easily went the 20 yards between him and the goal line and we were in front to end, when the final whistle was blown.

REHG PUT CAP ON HIGH HAT OF BILL KLEM By AL PEMAREE (Former Pitcher New York Giants.) The most colorful umpire I ever saw in my 17 years of professional ball was Bill Klem, the National league arbiter, with the possible exceptions of Silk O'Laughlin and Bill Byron. First of all, Klem Is one of the best judges of balls and strikes in the history of the game and he knows it and so do the players, and therefore, he runs the game with a high hand and is absolute master on the field. Fresh young bushers breaking in have always been on of Klein's pet aversions and AVnlter Kegh, a young outfielder with Boston at one time, was one of the few youngsters who got the best of him in a verbal contest. Rehg broke into the league one day as a pinch hitter in tne ninth inning at Boston. "Who are you hitting fori" inquir ed Klem.

"Hitting for myself, who did you think I was bitting for?" shot back the fresh busher. "What you's name, busher?" roared Klem, his neck starting to swell with anger. "What's your name, busher?" roared Klem, his neck starting to swell with anger. Look in the box score in tne morning paper and you'll find my name," replied Rehg, innocently. Klem almost had apoplexy before he found his voice and ran Rehg out of the game.

Yost Spurns All Offers to Leave Michigan Contentment Means More Than Money to Him By BILLY EVANS. No one individual has been a more important figure in the development of college football than Fielding H. Yost.

At Michigan, Fielding H. Yost is a part of the institution. For 25 years he has directed the destinies of its football teams. His success has brought him many offers to leave Michigan All of them he has spurned. During a qnuarter of a century at Michigan, Yost has seen the sport rise from a game that attracted only the student body and alumni to a spectacle that is the magnet for as many people as the huge stadiums can hold.

Michigan teams coached by Yost have played their part in popularizing the gridiron sport. In the old days, Michigan's point-a-minutc elevens were among the most colorful in the country. Yost certainly knew his stuff. When the forward pass crept into the gamhe, as well as many other features calling for open stylo pl'V, there were some who doubted the ability of the veteran Yost to cope wtih the situation. However, the shift that was made in football play, literally overnight, merely gave Fielding Yost an opportunity of proving his versatility.

The success of Yost pud Michigan, WHITE SOX MINUS COLLINS FAR LESS EFFICIENT CLUB CHICAGO, Dec. 6 (NEA are the chances of the White vSox under the leadership of Ray Schalk? Chicago fans already are pondering that question. The consensus is that it is not going to be an easy job. The showing of the White Sox during the last two seasons has stressed the importance of having Collins and Schalk in the lineup. With the passing of Collins, the club loes its balance wheel.

With Eddie Collins playing second the Chicago club is 25 per cent more efficient than with him on the bench, No one will miss him more than Schalk; In addition, the possibility of Schalk playing more than half the season is rather doubtful. Looks as if the new manager would have his troubles finishing in the first division. I.
