IIARrER CHRISTY WALSH NEW YORK, Dec. 5. A policy which has always carried en indirect influence with the All-America Board in its annual selections, became a definitely adopted rule at the eighth annual meeting, just concluded in New York City. In the minds of Borne, All-America teams are selected with the object of distributing Che honors pretty generally along geographical and sectional fines. Heretofore the individual feelings of this board have been to select the best group of eleven players regardless of their college or location but henceforth, in line with a resolution formally adopted this week, it will be the rule of the committee as a whole to give no consideration whatsoever to sectional lines in selecting players.

It was the sense of the recentwithout contrary opinioas. In the eight-year history of this board no mast ana stepped on national championship soil here today by defeating the State Cou vr gars, 28 to 14. tj.it fVio Wnvo jnaa to ngm witn an us Jmignt 10 snuu off the hard- Mentor Dahlen icnarguijf vm- gars, who were pawing at Tu- lane's undefeated and untied seasonal record. The crowd of 25,000 Tulane rooters got the fright of their lives when the visitors drove over a touchdown in three minutes after the starter's whistle and showed a form of winning caliber. The score was squared soon, however, after Capt.

Jerry Dalrymple had left the bench and took his rt right end. He rallied his team and. five minutes later Tulane went over the goal line, making the score 7-7. In the second quarter the Green Wave hit its stride and rang up two more touchdowns. But in the third Quarter Washington State scored again, making the score 21 to 14.

In the last quarter Capt. Dalrym-ple made his team safe by catching Zimmerman' pass from the 25-yard line as he stood behind Washington State's goal line, giving his team a lead of two touchdowns, which it held to the end. The game represented the last appearance in New Orleans of Ber-nle Bierman as head coach for Tulane, official announcement being made during the game that he would leave for his alma mater, University of Minnesota, to become head football mentor, and that he would be succeeded here by Ted Cox, Tulane's line coach. The game held its zip and flash In every quarter and to the very last each team was fighting hard. It was easily the hardest game of the season for the Green Wave.

Each team attacked through the air, Tulane scoring three of its four touchdowns on forward passes. But Washington State was not afraid of Tulane's powerful line and hit it time and again for gains, with Tulane retaliating against the stout Cou gar line. Each team tackled hard and Sander and Schroeder shone for W.S.C., alonjr with Tulane's Zimmerman and Glover. Quick for every advantage, Washington State scored the first touchdown off of Payne's fumble, which was recovered by "Turk" Edwards, Washington State's massive tackle. In a series of plunges Schroeder, halfback, brought it to the 2-yard line, where on a double backfield pass Quarterback Dahlen skirted left end for touchdown and then turned around and kicked goal.

meeting that if such an improbable circumstance should arise wherein eleven players on the same team were con- sidered the coun- try's best in their respective' playing post-'; tions, the board would not hesitate to name every player on that particular team. The title All-America is open to several Interpretations; obviously it includes players from all parts of the United States and some contend that it should properly be composed of players representing each and all sections of the country. Opposed to that in terpretation is the policy of this board, that i the personnel of the team each year should Include the very best players from all over America, without regard to sectional lines. Dalrymple of Tulane, rated by many as the greatest end ever produced in the South, is the only player from 1930 to repeat this year, although it should be noted that with a single exception, all players named last season by this board, are no longer In college. Another interesting development in selecting this year's line-up, was that in the majority of positions, the selections were unanimous and Dracticallv team has been selected where there was so much accord as to the merits of the eleven players finally desig nated.

And in many respects the 1931 aggregation is looked upon as the strongest and best balanced ever named by the All -America Board. CENTER Maintaining the long standing record of all-star pivot men at Notre Dame, Walsh, Boeringer, Moynihan Tom Yarr, captain of this year's team, is adjudged the best center in the game today. This big boy, born and raised in the Northwest, tips th scales two pounds over the 200-mark. Yarr is a deadly tackier and to say that he is fast on his feet, is another way of stating that few ends get down the field under punta ahead of this charging linemen. He played with a broken thumb through, four hard games this year without a faulty pass.

And, after all, ec curate passing under any and aU circumstances, remains the principal requirement of a center. Yarr'a personality and character played strong part in Notre Dame's ies this season and few if anyj gains were made through his ita tion in the line. GUARDS vvrj Flanking Yarr in the guard tions are Munn of Minnesota fcfii! Baker of Southern California. i not the finest set of guards in reap!

Line Displays Great Pouer on Offense BY PAUL LOWRY Southern California turned on the power and steam-rollered to victory over Washington yesterday, 1 thereby wlnnms i an undisputed Coast. Confpr- ence champion- a ship. 1 The 1 1 score was 44 to 7, as Troy achieved a de-c cisive conquest before a crowd of 55,000 spectators that only partially filled the Olympic GAIUS Stadium on a warm December afternoon.

Southern California has played and won seven conference games this fall, beating Oregon State, Washington State, Oregon, California, Stanford, Montana and Washington in the order named. Washington State, which was de feated by Troy, 33 to 6, earlier in the season, lost to Tulane, 28 to 14, yesterday, which affords a slight comparison on the New Year's Day game, the southerners finally having been invited, HUSKIES FIGHT Washington's gallant forces fought bravely, but they had nothing with which to check the hard driving, the shifty running, the superb blocking, the tricky reverses and the spectacular passing of the Trojan athlete. Shaver pounded Washington defenses ragged with power plays over tackle and when Mohler entered the fray he ran them ragged with dashes around the flanks and cutbacks through the line. One of the big features of the game was the sensational duel put on by these rivals for high-scoring honors on the Coast. Each scored three touchdowns.

That Mohler had no storing complex in his head was evi dent when he handed the ball to Barber 1 foot from the Washington goal line. Barber failed and then Mohler took it over. Shaver and Mohler have each made fourteen touchdowns this year. Shaver leads, 88 points to 84, by virtue of four conversions. Troy's line was far superior to Washington's, and that made the work of S.C.'s pounding backs' much easier.

Even Schwegler, Washington's left tackle and bid for all-American, was brushed aside in the fierce onslaughts that poured over his side of the line. With Musick, Mallory, Pinckert and Rosenberg clearing the way, Shaver crashed over Schwegler's position with great gusto, and dispatch. Don't blame Schwegler. He's only human. He couldn't stop a juggernaught single-handed.

Southern California sewed up the game in the first ten minutes of play by scoring a brace of touchdowns. The first came on three plays and on offiside penalty, the Trojans getting the ball on a fumble by Bledsoe on Washington's 32-yarde line. Shaver took it over. Shaver also made the second touchdown after Tay Brown recovered Hufford's fumble on the Washington 23-yard line. MOHLER FUMBLES Mohler fell prey to the fumble habit when he got into the game in the second period, losing a punt and later dropping the ball on a scrimmage play after Pinckert had raced back an intercepted pass 53 yards.

However, Mohler atoned for this lapse by engineering a 65-yard ex- (Contintied on Page 2, Column 2) PHELAN BAD HUSKIES (7) Ncsbit Wiatrak Windust Isaacson England Schwegler (C.) W.

Tulane. in accepting the bid, gives the South representation at the Rose Bowl for the fifth time in the past seven years.

Alabama has been here three times, while Georgia Tech came west for the 1929 game. The South has not lost one of these contests. The Greenies are apparently a spectacular passing team, much the seme as Alabama was when the Crimson Tide rolled over Washington in the third quarter of the 1926 contest. PASSING FOOLS In yesterday's game with Washington State the southerners threw twenty-six passes and completed twelve of these for a grand total of 187 yards. The four touchdowns made by Tulane came via the air, three on forward passes and the fourth by use of a Southern California is pretty fair with the forward pass herself, so there should be plenty of fireworks when the two teams clash.

Tulane won the undisputed championship of the Southern Conference this year, tied for the same honor with Alabama last season and tied Tennessee for the crown the year before that.
