(P) For the first time in nearly forty years of all American football ranking, the distinction of carrying off the most places on the mythical all star college eleven passes from the east to the middlewest. This was revealed today in a nation wide consensus compiled by the Associated Press and reflecting the opinions of more than 100 coaches and critics. With no college having more than one representative in the first eleven, the consensus shows the middle west gaining five places, the east four while the south and far west occupy one each. Taking the 1926 squad as a wholehowever rf irst, second and third teams tne east retains its traditional leadership with fourteen out of 33 places. The middlewest has eleven, the far west five and south three, INDIVIDUAL STARS FEW This years campaign hasn't been lacking in individual stars, but comparatively few, particularly among the backf ield Pennsylvania, halfback L.

A. Doubtless a large number of rabbits will live orer the hunting season and 1.1.. .1 X. ti i performers, have captured popular imng i h. fU of 1927.

The rabbits this, season ination extent that lied Grange, to Ceore Wilson, Ernie Nevers, "Swede" Oberlander and others did in 11)25. Hrt Joesting, Minnesota plunging fullback, is an exception. lie came near to being the unanimous choice of the experts who selected this year's all Anieri; can lineup. His running mates Friedman xf Michigan, Waer'of Southern California and Baker of Northwestern, all polled Leayy votes but it was by a comparatively slim margin 'hat they gained first team places over such all round aces as Spears of Vanderbilt, Harry Wikon of the Army, "Wild Biil" Kelly of Montana and Frank Kirklishi of Lafayette. Friedman Popular.

It is noteworthy that three of the all star barriers, Friedman, Kaer and Baker, occupied quarterback positions on their teams. Most of the critics while favoring the Michigan "aptain ns field general of the mythical aggregation, considered the alK.round capal ilities of Baker and Kaer valuable. enough to shift them to half back roles. In the line, Frank Wickhorst, Navy captain, a tackle, and Harry Conuugh ton, Georgetown 275 poo nd guard, were the most heavily favored are more numerous than first experience indicated, and they have begun to hole up and this probably will menn that thfs year's numbers can not be very largely depleted before the close of the season, now only about a month in the future. It has been the writer's good fortune to hunt with a hound recently.

On. the first trip out, the rabbits would run 'for a mile without seeking a hole. Oh the last trip, a rabbit might not. go 100 yards from the place where It started befove seeking a den of some kind. VEGETATION A PROTECTION.

The vegetation this year has been remarkably heavy as has been pointed out repeat dly in this column. This has cause good over for rabbits, and they hare taken full advantage of it, as only rabbits of the. cottontail variety know how to do. Many a hunter who went afield early in the season and came back to assert that the "crop" was short, probably passed within a few feet Ot many rabbits that remained invisible to him. That is the rase when there are Cloise contests i fewer weeds and shorter grass, and it developed for all of jhe other positions probably has bren especially true thia particularly on the ends where an unus Jyear.

Something ought to be done about the season on rabbits. Statep like i Michigan and Minnesotu, which have deer and bear to shoot, lind it wise to protect the rabbit and Indiana certainly can not afford to permit killing shybucks from April to, January 10.

This state can not afford Jp u'glect wild life conservation. "Michigan has much more water than Indiana, but it protects, its fih better than we do. It has more game, but it gives it game better protection. The Indiana legislature will be in session in a abort time and sportamen who have con let ions abont protecting rabbits more, fully, by. changing the open sou and reducing the bag might make their suggestions to Senator The Pays Of Real Sport Indiana to Give Twenty Four Football Le tters BLOOMINGTON, Dec.

Kline and Representative Carlson. WHAT ABOUT ICE FISHING? Another subject for the legislature ia through the ice. There is a growing conviction that this should, not be permitted, On the subject this column has no' established convictions. The fish caught in wiater are few compared to the number taken in the summer, and the ice fisherman earns his fish. On the other hand, it may be a good thing to put I stop to the taking of fish in winter or to restrict it to certain varieties or permit it only up to February 15.

of the good things about winter fishing is that it takes the angler abroad at a time when there are no other sports to tempt him into the open, and this means better health for him if he is properly dressed for it EvetTat best, the average man does not getr out of doors enoughs and ice fishing may pay good enough dividends ia. health to make up for the few fsh taken.
