Once again, the football players themselves, through a poll of the captains on leading teams throughout the country conducted by the Central Press association have selected their own All-American football eleven.

And because they are better qualified for the job than any committee of coaches or sports writers or "experts" which can be assembled, the football players have made excellent choices, naming an eleven truly representative of the best in the gridiron game. The team: Ends: Paul Mobs, of Purdue and David Ariail, of Alabama Poly (Auburn). Tackles: Ernie Smith, of Southern California and Joseph Kurth, of Notre Dame. Guards: Bob Smith, of Colgate and Milton Summerfelt, of Army. Center: Tom Gilbane.

of Brown. Quarterback: Harry Newman, of Michigan. Halfbacks: Don Zimmerman, of Tulane and Warren Heller, of Pittsburgh. Fullback: Jack Manders, of Minnesota. Each captain selected the players from among those he played with and against, who in his opinion, merited special mention for their ability.

The players receiving most votes for each position automatically became the captains' choices for their own All-American team. Newman of Michigan, the quarterback, received more votes than any other player for any position. The guards, Smith of Colgate and Summerfelt of Army, however, were but one vote each behind him. There is no need hers of describ-i ing the ability of each of 1932 All-Amerlcan players. They were outstanding stars all season and their superb ability is known to anyone who has followed the progress of football this year.

Ariail of Alabama Poly, Smith of Southern California. Newman of Michigan and Smith of Colgate were members of teams unbeaten and untied. Moss of Purdue and I Heller of Pittsburgh were members i of teams unbeaten by tied. Therefore, the selections by the captains cannot be seriously questionedthey picked a team that is of championship caliber from wing to wing and center to fullback. Third Poll Satisfactory This poll was the third conducted by the Central Press Association.

The Idea that the captains of football teams were really the court of last resort in any attempt to name an all-star eleven was first put into practice in 1930. Ths poll that year, thanks to the generous aid of scores of varsity leaders, was a great success. However, in 1931 an even greater number of captains responded. This year's poll eclipsed last season's by a wide margin. The All-A merican team this year presents eleven new faces.

None of the 1932 team were selected by football captains polled in 1931 or 1930, when a majority of the All-Americans of 1932 were Juniors or sophomores. However, Moss of Purdue, Manders of Minnesota and Zimmerman of Tulane were selected for the 1931 second team and Kurth of Notre Dame made the third team last year.

Belying their coach's predictions of dreadful happenings which await them at the hands of Southern California Saturday, the Ramblers of Notre Dame drove through two hard practice sessions here today, one of them secret.

Of the "sick six," only one man, Ray Erancheau, halfback, was not in uniform. Brancheau was taken from a train to a hotel in an ambulance when the squad arrived here early today but he walked to and from the ambulance and did not appear seriously ill. Later Dr. Eer-nard Kamm, team physician, said the fleet halfback had a temperature of 100 degrees last night but that he was better today and might be in condition to play. Joe Sheeketski, Steve Banas, Norman Greeney, Emmett Murphy, and Joe Robinson described by Anderson as among the sick, all participated in the workout.

Dr. Kamm said the team suffered little from its long Journey and he believed the two-day rest here would restore the men to their best physical condition. Eut Coach Hartley (Hunk) Anderson would not emerge from his shroud of gloom. He predicted that the Trojans "will lick us by at least two touchdowns." And when he had watched his team kick, pass and run their signals for an hour and 15 minutes this morning he commented "the team didn't look very good. It was too sluggish.

The players are accus tomed to playing In snow, rain and cold and the hot weather here is sapping their strength." The "hot" weather was 72 degrees. The sky was cloudy. However, the players seemed to be bothered by the heat. The bottles of South Bend water the team brought along were in constant demand. Despite Coach Anderson's forebodings, the players themselves seemed in good spirits and several said they thought they would give the Trojans a real tussle.

What might possibly be the Irish starting lineup was indicated by Coach Anderson's selection of his first eleven today. He placed George Melinkovich at fullback; Joe Sheeketski and Mike Koken at halfbacks; and Charles Jaskwhlch at quarter. The ends were Captain Paul Host and Ed Kosky. Joe Kurth and Ed Krause were at tackles; Jim Harris and Norman Greeney at guards and Joe Robinson at center. Approximately 1500 persona watched the Ramblers workout.

To the ever growing list of possible candidates for the football coaching berth at Stanford were added two more names today, those of Tad Jones and Hack Applcqulst. Jones, former Yale coach and a brother of Howard Jones of Southern California, was reported as a prospective bidder to succeed Glenn S. Warner.

There should be no further reduction in the player limit now 23 men. These reactions stand out in a copyrighted symposium gathered by the World-Telegram with an eye toward anticipating the results of next week's annual meetings. Three Clubs Oppose Move Three clubs, the Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Boston Braves, oppose a general reduction in expenses that even Intimates a reduction in the $55,000 salary of Kenesaw M. Landis. Owners of these three clubs insist that publicity along these lines is harmful, that every team should et up its own financial standards.

But with the remainder of the magnates, economy is the outstanding Issue. "Baseball salaries must be cut," aid Charles A. Stoneham, "principally for the reason that they were increased in good times, and no Increase was made in the cost of aeeing a ball game. "The ball player, for six months' work, is receiving more than the presidents, officials, and owners of 99 per cent of other businesses. Baseball is a highly speculative enterprise.

The club owners assume all the Stoneham represents the New York Giants. Opinions from other club officials include the following: Clark Griffith, Washington Senator "The ball player alone has not felt the depression. I believe he will be fair enough to realize he must take a 20 per cent reduction. I am opposed to uniform training seasons and radio except for world series." William E. Benswanger, Pittsburgh "A shorter training season will accomplish as much physical good.

Salaries must be kept within bounds. We are against broadcasting, baseball needs the application ef business common sense." Billy Evans, Cleveland "A club needs two things to sell the game strongly to its fans a good ball club and a tight race. The National league is more willing to make trades. As a result they hav had better balance, closer races, and increased receipts. Stronger clubs should dispose of surplus talent to weaker clubs." Gerald P.

Nugent, Philadelphia Nationals "I believe our player limit should be lowered to 22. One month of spring training is enough. We favor ladies' and boys' days, but are against radio. Baseball is not lipping." Emil Fuchs. Eonton Braves "Players should share in the good fortune of clubs, and also stand their share of financial bad luck.

Training season should not start before March 1. 1 am strong for radio. Robert Quinn, Boston Red Sox "If ball players will bustle every minute the fans will support baseball. The value of radio is open to debate, but it would be a mistake to taks the world series off the air." L. C.

McEvoy, St. Louis Browns "We favor shorter training seasons. We oppose radio." Samuel Breadon, St. Louis Cardinals "Expenses from top to bottom must be cut. We are shortening our training season, reducing salaries and overhead." William Veeck, Chicago Cubs "Too much importance cannot be attached to the benefits of radio.

Four stations broadcast Wrlgley field games and increased attendance, even in depression times, reflects It value." Connie Mack, Philadelphia Athletics "Baseball has been running wild financially. We must have aner policies." Frank Navln, Detroit Tigers "Baseball must adopt business methods. In times of depression it has dona better than other amusements." Louis Comlskty, Chicago White Sox "Give the fans a winner and they'll break down your fences to get in. Six weeks of training are plenty." Sidney Well, Cincinnati lists must be cut deeply. We are opposed1 to long training and would like a uniform rule on this.

We believe trading revives interest." LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7. The out horn California basketball team routed Whlttler college, 70 to 21, in a practice game at the Trojan gymnasium last night. FOR GRID GAME Less Than 15,000 Ducats Still On Sale to Trojan-Irish Fray; Capacity 101,558 Seats By PAUL ZIMMERMAN (Associated Press Sports Writer) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.

When Notre Dame and Southern Califor nia meet to settle their football differences here Saturday a record crowd for the country this season will sit in on the festivities. This was assured today with less than 15,000 of the 101,558 seats available for purchase through regular channels. A sell out was almost certain. The season's high In attendance jointly Is held by the East and West. Eighty thousand witnessed the Notre Dame-Army game at Yankee stadium while the same number of spectators took in the Stanford-California struggle.

The Army-Navy classic at Franklin field, Philadelphia attracted 79,000. By way of comparison, Southern California played to 93,000 In its game with. Stanford here in the biggest turnout of 1931. With three days to go before the Rambler- Trojan tussle, this figure was ex pected to be surpassed. It was a strange sight in strained times to see the steady movement of cash customers before the windows of the various ticket agencies, asking for tickets "on the 50-yard line, about half way up," and get ting only the highly decorative embossed pasteboards back or tne goal lines.

The disappointed late purchasers turned to the scalpers' market for the few available good seats, paying prices with a quotable low of S10 for the $4.40 variety. Most of the tickets remaining to be sold were back of the end zones in the S2.20 section. Training activities of the Southern California team slowed down a pace this afternoon as Coach Howard Jones sent his players through another secret session. There was every indication ths Trojans were taking with the proverbial grain of salt the reports of the distressing physical condition of Coach Hunk Anderson's team from Tucson, where it halted today for the first of two workouts.

In the first practice game of the season for both fives, the play displayed excellent potentialities. The university frosh slightly outplayed the Terriers from the outset, but Coach Daniels' high school aggregation pushed the leaders from the beginning.
