The Amateur Athletic union, which never sleeps, spotted the advertisement in Sunday's metropolitan newspapers. Monday night. thru Its secretary, Daniel J.

Ferris, the union dispatched a telegram to Louis Di Benedetto, chairman of the southern association, informing him that Miss Didrikson had forfeited her amateur standing. Miss Didrikson. at her home in Dallas, learned of the A. A. action almost as soon as did Di Benedetto.

She wasted no time in informing her manager. Col. M. J. McCombs, who wasted even less time in issuing the following state- Cardinals arc named on the first team, which follows: Player Ray Flaherty Cal Hubbard Grover Emerson Tim Moynihan Carlson ten Grant Tom Natn Earl Clark Arnold Herber Roy Lumpkin Bronko Nagurski Chicago Beart Team College New York Giants Gonxaga Green Geneva PorUmouth Texas Chicago Notre Dame Chicago Beant Oregon State New York Giants New York U.

College St. Regis College Georgia Tech Minnesota ment: "If Mhss Didriksou loses her amateur standing because of the advertisement, which she did not authorize, we will immediately instigate suit against the automobile company responsible for the unauthorized publication." The advertisement was prepared. for the Dodge Co by the advertising firm of Ruthrauff and Ryan, New York, and, according to an official of the firm, was published with the full consent of Miss Didrikson and her manager. "We have a written letter of release from Miss Didrikson and her manager," the agency told the United Press.

"The release gave us full permission to use Miss Didrik-. son's picture as well as her-comment on the car. It is unreasonable 10 assume that we would prepare such copy without first gaining full permission. Naturally, we are sor- iy to hear of the A. A.

action. Inasmuch as Miss Didrikson did not receive so much as a penny for her testimonial, she must have ignorant of the A. A. U. ruling on such things.

Perry told the United Press that Didrikson was not advised she was going to be quoted and that she "most certainly did not get paid for it" Whether Miss Didriksou was paid for lending her name to the advertisement does not affect her violation of tie amateur rules, according to Ferris. Potsy Clark. Portsmouth coach, Ralph Jones, Chicago Bears' coach, and Rocky Wolfe, attache of the Chicago Bears and Cardinals who has probably seen more pro games this season than any other coach, critic or sports writer, aided in selecting the all-pro team. The all-pro combines four of the greatest football players operating on any gridiron.

Earl (Dutch) Clark. Portsmouth quarterback, is one of the keenest field generals, who ever called a signal. When his team's plays don't work, Clark makes up Lis own plays. He is a brilliant passer and runner and a capable kicker. Arnold Herber of Green Bay is another all around star kicker, passer, runner, blocker and defen-.

sive'player. His passing and running have been outstanding in Green Bay's offensive in every game. Roy Lumpkin of Portsmouth is the league's greatest blocker and defensive fullback. Lumpkin is also a good plunger and passer. Broako Nagurski is a terrific plunging back, a great defensive player All Sorts PORTS CYCLONE COACHES AT BIG SIX MEET T.

Football Coach George Veenker, and Louis Menze, coach. basketball and baseball and devastating blocker. With Lumpkin and Nagurski to plow thru ahead of them, Clark and Herber would be almost impossible to stop. -The all-pro line has two big ends, a pair of giant tackles, two fast, aggressive guards and a roving center with uncanny ability to diagnose plays before the ball is snapped. Flaherty of the New York Giants catches a feotball like a baseball, and is almost impossible to cover.

Nash's forte is defensive play. Hubbard, weighing 255, and Grant, weighing 225, are impregnable on defense, and can open a hole in the side of a locomotive if necessary. Emerson, the little Portsmouth terror, piayeu 60 minutes of every game this year, and has never been blocked out of a play. Carlson is another defensive terror. But the greatest all-around man in the league is Tim Moynihan, playing his first year with the Roving up and SHARKEY'S MANAGER BOSTON, (U.RV—Johnny Buckley, manager of Jack key, Tuesday ridiculed an announcement by Jack Kearns that Mickey Walker would meet the heavyweight ehamp- ion in a bout in Boston next June.

"That's a joke," Buckley declared. "Sharkey got rid of Walker. Walker in turn was knocked out by Max Schmeling, Sharkey beat" for the championship, so what would Sharkey be getting by fighting Walker It's simply a case of Kearns trying to keep Walker alive." Sharkey's manager said the champion positively would not fight again until next summer.

"Tiny" Thornhil), for years line coach at Stanford university! was prominently mentioned Tuesday as the probable successor to Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner as head coach of the Cardinal foot ball team. A coach to carry on the Warner system will be considered at a meeting of the athletic board Wednesday. Many alumni were urging appointment of Ernie Nevers, Stanford's all-American fullback of 1925. Described by Warner as "the greatest football player I ever coached." Nevers has been Warner's assistant since his grad uation. Others who probably will be considered include Maurice "Clipper" Smith, former Notre Dame star and coach of Santa Clara college; Dick Hanley of Northwestern university, and Andy Kerr of Colgate.

A caucus of members of the 1932 Stanford squad revealed that Thornhill was their almost unanimous choice. They urged that he he given a "chance" with the 1933 squad with the promise of a long term contract if he succeeds.

FT PF 0 Newman Comes Into Full Share of Grid Michigan's record of only one defeat in 29 major football games, a record climaxed by the undisputed Western conference championship, is a testimonial "to the triumph of one man over himself. The man who conquered himself to the Wolverines to claim. on- the national gridiron title is Harry Newman, stocky little Detroit Hebrew.

With the brilliance of one destined to greatness, Newman leaped into the football limelight two years ago as a sophomore player. He was confident, even "cocky" as a beginner, a confidence inspired by his success as a scholastic and freshman star. Newman's confidence in himself, even in his first year as a varsity pertoraer, was not misplaced. His accurate passing and shifty run- niug was the difference between victory and defeat for Michigan. Poluts he scored or helped score with a pass contributed to five Michigan victories.

Bui even as the crowds cheered Newman, some of the spectators, resented him. Sideline critics scored him for calling his own signal too often. They pointed to Benny Friedman, who gave every other backfield man a chance before carrying the ball himself. The attitude of the reached the ears of Newman's teammates. While the Michigan players did not resent Newman, they felt he could have been more generous in passing out opportunities to other backs.

There was no open breach, just an intangible barrier between Newman and his football world. Last year, with Michigan still riding a wave of gridiron triumphs, Newman was censored again and again for his apparent selfishness. Coach Harry Kipke kept him on the bench part of the time. Apparently. Newman didn't mind.

Once back in the lineup, ho continued to call his signal and hurl passes or crash off tackle for winning touchdowns. With the opening of the 1932 season, a different Newman took his 0 place in the Michigan lineup. No one could explain the difference. All recognized its existence. Newman still called his own signal, but only after'others had failed or when a pass appeared to be the most logical play.

Always sensational. Hie stocky fumbled or raced for touchdowns with the apparent indifference. It was as though he wanted to show the crowds that they didn't matter. Strangely, the crowds liked it. They began to like Newman, the boy grown to manhood, as well as the football player.

And, with tbe crowd behind him wholeheartedly for the first time 1n Ws career, Newman proceeded to play football as he never had played it before. Michigan scored S3 points to six for her opponents in the march to the Western conference title. Newman passed, ran or kicked for 57 of the S3 points. He was the sparkplug, the omnipresent threat in the Michigan attack. At the end of Newman's final season thf Michigan players returned from Minneapolis to a cheering victory-crazed crowd of students and townspeople.

The crowd wanted Newman. But, Newman, as though making a parting gesture of indifference, was not with the team. i ummU'fK, a. UIX.VI.M»^ Referee- W. L.
