Clemson's well-balanced squad won the Southern conference football championship but Duke university annexed all-star honors when coaches and sports writers of the area voted berths for four Blue Devils on the loop's 1940 Associated Press honor team. North Carolina captured three honor spots and the title-winning Clemson Tigers two. Richmond and Wake Forest were awarded one position each by the 81 mentors and scribes who balloted on the squad. Paul Severin, North Carolina's All-America star, and Joe Blalock, Clemson's lanky junior, won the end posts for a second time with Severin leading the ticket to earn the captaincy of the mythical eleven. Andy Fronczek, rugged blond Richmonder, and true toe Tony Ruffa, whose field goal almost won the 1939 Ross Bowl gams for Duks, were the first tackle choices in a strong field.

Duke's captain, Alex Winterson, and North Carolina's Bill Falrcloth were the guard winners. Bob Barnett of Duke was given the center job over a half dozen standout contenders. The experts agreed on a versatile backfield composed of Jim Lalanne of North Carolina, Steve Lach of Duke, Tony Gallovlch of Wake Forest and Charlie (Tuffy) Timmons of Clemson, leaving in reserve such stellar performers as Richmond's Arthur Jones, Clemson's Chip Maness, South Carolina's Al Grygo and Duke's Jap Davis.

California's leading race tracks, relieved of "charity day" contributions in the future, faced the prospect today of paying a stiffer take to the state instead. The possibility of increased track taxes developed at a senate committee hearing a few hours after the Los Angeles Turf club paid $155,607 to the state controller for six "charity" racing programs at Santa Anita. "If they can pay it out to charity they can pay it in the form of a larger take to the state," said Chairman Edward Tickle of the senate committee on revenue and taxation.

The committee questioned Jerry Giesler, chairman of the California horse racing board; Charles Strub, manager of the Santa Anita track, and Herbert Preston, attorney for Hollywood park, on the arrangement for the two tracks to contribute for "state charity." Santa Anita agreed to pay 641 of its next income and Hollywood volunteered 647 of its income as a condition for receiving longer 1940 racing seasons. Strub testified the payment of an additional $46,000 by Santa Anita is being held up pending a decision as to whether a tax must be paid on this sum and if so, to whom.

(Continued on Page 15, Column 3) Ho would (a) make the end zones 20 yards deep Instead of 10, to aid goal-line plays; (b) permit a coach to go on the field when he thinks an official is in error, the coach's team to be penalized 15 yards If it turns out he was wrong. One obvious drawback to his proposal, aside from -the fact that Murray makes no mention of what he'd do with the goal posts, is that In many stadiums there wouldn't be room to lengthen the field 10 yards at each end.

3. The Dally Maroon, University of Chicago student newspaper, asserted in an editorial today that Clark Shaughnessy, Stanford football coach, formerly of Chicago, "had disproved charges occasionally leveled against him that he failed to inspire confidence and lacked the ability to make his men fight." Hailing the former Chicago coach, whose unbeaten team will battle Nebraska in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day, as a "superb tactician," the editorial declared, "not only did the Indians out-think their nine rivals, they outfought them in every game and it was Shaughnessy who inspired that fight." Shaughnessy, the newspaper asserted, "was a master strategist and an excellent coach a friendly, cooperative sort of man who made the most of the skimpy material that an unsubsidized team provided him with, andwhe never complained of the competition he was forced to face under the conditions."
