By JACK GTJENTHER tlnlted Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Dec. 24.

Amid all the talk about the "seven Dukes" in the impregnable Duke line, nobody has thought to mention that Southern California will send a pretty good line into the Rose Bowl game, too a line that averages 201 On paper, IT. S. record as a defensive machine is not as good as Duke's. Plenty of teams have scored on U. S.

C. whereas none has scored on Duke this season. But the North Carolina boys will find themselves opposed to a rough, fast line that has developed fast since the opening of the season. From end to end, U. S.

C. will shape up as follows: Al Kreuger, le. a rangy player with an uncanrl ability to snag passes. Great on spilling interference, he seemed to be the best player on the field in the Notre Dame game. He is a sophomore and worked up this year from the fifth team to the first.

Howard Stoecker, It, is 6 feet. 4 inches tall and weighs 214 pounds. He came out here from Iowa hailed as a basketball star, but he has developed so fast in football that he has dropped the court game. Charging Lineman Harry Smith, lg, was named on many All-America teams this year after sensational seasons in 1937 i and 1938. He believes in going under, the opposition and tackling the ball-carrier on the way up.

He stands 5 feet, 11 inches and weighs 208 pounds. Don McNeil, center and captain, is the lightest man in the regular line at 182 pounds. He is colorless but efficient, and plays through sixty minutes of most Ben Sohn, rg, is a sophomore and the heaviest man on the squad, weighing 228 and standing 6 feet, 3 inches, he is a steady player who improved consistently through the season. Ray George, rt, is a colorless player, strong on defense, who has been under-rated all season. He carries, the load on offense under Coach Howard Jones' system.

He weighs 205 and is 6 feet tall. Ralph Stanley, re, a halfback in his high school days, has developed into a first-class wingman. He has not played as much as some of the other regulars because he has many capable reserves, including Don Winslow, who shares duties with him. Smooth Backfield On offense, U. S.

C. counts heavily on Grenville Lansdell, quarterback, who is so cool that he gives the impression of never having had a worry in his life. He is daring signal caller, a sharp passer, but only a mediocre kicker. He ran eighty-three yards against Ohio State and seventy-one against Washington this year, both on returns of punts. Bob Hoffman, left halfback, rarely carries the ball, but frequently is on the receiving end of passes.

A fine blocker, he also backs up the line on defense. Bill Sangster, fullback, weighs only 170 pounds. A hurdler and broad-jumper during the track season, he is fast and shifty and at his best in an open field. Sports Writers in League Cities Select A ll-Pro Grid Team of 1938 CHICAGO, Dec. 24.

The National Professional Football Writers Asso ciation today announced what is per haps the most comprehensive and intelligently polled All-America team ever selected. The 1938 All-Star professional team, named by 205 member sports writers from every National Football League city is the All-America team in question.

Rain and an epidemic of colds forced Coach Bob Neyland to restrict activities of the Tennessee football team to a "skull practice" indoors yesterday. Neyland said each of the Tennessee squad's forty-one members had a cold ranging from mild ones to severe attacks for nine first and second-stringers, including Halfback George (Bad News) Cafego, the main offensive threat of the soutneastern Conference champions, who will meet Oklahoma in Miami's Orange Bowl, January 2. Worried over condition of his players, Neyland said they would leave tomorrow, instead of Monday, as planned originally, for Florida. He hoped the Winter resort sunshine would "bake out the cold infections." Shamrocks Rally to Win Over Mechanicshurg Foe In a game in which only' one foul shot was converted, the Shamrocks finished strong to defeat the Mech-anicsburg Mountaineers, 36 to 21, at Mechanicsburg last night. Trailing by two points at the end of the first period, the winners slowly built up a lead and climaxed their drive with a twelve-point scoring spree in the last session.

Skinner and Milliken accounted for twenty-six of the winners' points while E. Frey, who made the only successful foul try of the evening, compiled half that number in a losing cause. SHAMROCKS MOUNTAINEERS G. F. F.

Putting the sport shot here and there: football team got into Pasadena today, and some of the wiser critics have it all figured out that the mighty kicking of Eric Tinton is going to cost the Blue Devils the Rose Bowl game on January 2. Tip ton's punts are so tremendous, they reason, that the ball beata his ends downs the Henry McLemore field by fifteen or twenty yards and will give me u. S. C. safety men, Grenny Lflnsaeii and Mickey Anderson, time enough to get up a full head of steam.

Anderson is tne lasiesi man football today, and Lansdell is only a steD behind. Once underway they ar likelv to carrv the ball the wVinlp distance. Paul Schissler. for mer Oregon State coach, is one of the critics who believe Tipton's awesome kicking will prove a boomerang. Be it California or JNew yors, the sharpsters who operate the foot-hall nnol cards are the same.

The pool cards on the bowl game being circulated out here demand that if you pick Southern Cal you must spot Duke six points; that you can't select T. C. U. unless you spot Carnegie Tech seven points, and that if you name Tennessee you must spot Oklahoma eight points. Texas Tech and St.

Mary's are the only bowl contenders rated Speaking of St. Mary's, where Slip Madigan is coach, the football filberts out here say that Madigan is on the field so much during St. Mary's game that he should be awarded a sweater at the end of the season.

Paced by Rip Collins, Billy Her man and Manager Gabby Hartnett, tne Cubs established a new mark of for club fielding, and achieved a new circuit record for fewest er rors in a season. 135. Their new fielding percentage dis placed the previous high of .9778, made by Boston in 1933.

And the low error number bettered the Cubs' own figure of 137 registered in 1934. In addition they had the most put-outs for this season, 4164. Rip Collins led the league's first basemen with a percentage of .9956, and Billy Herman topped the second- sackers with .981. Manager Gabby Hartnett played In only eighty- three games, and since leadership in the various departments are based upon 100 games, he could not claim that honor. Accordingly AI Todd, of Pittsburgh, led the backstops with .985.

Since the close of the campaign, Todd was traded to the Boston Bees. Brooklyn Places Meanwhile veteran Joe Stripp, playing with St. Louis and Boston, headed the third basemen with .971. Stripp has been traded now to Brooklyn which had two top fielding performers during 1938. They are Lippy Leo Durocher, who led the shortstops with .9661, and Goody Rosen, who paced the outfielders with .989.

Durocher is the Dodgers' new manager for 1939. Although twenty-two pitchers fielded for a perfect 1.000, the leadership went to Jim Turner, of Boston, with eighty-nine chances without a slip-up. Ernie Lombardi, Cincinnati's Catcher who led the league at bat again achieved the Questionable dis tinction of leading the backstops in passed balls, with nine. It was the fourth straight season that Ernie won the "open door" trophy.

Top honors rightly went to the Camp Hill varsity which trimmed 'an Alumni squad, consisting of sixteen players, 22 to 19, in the feature attraction.

Camp Hill held the lead throughout the first three periods in the varsity clash, but the Alumni came back strong to nearly break down the 17 to 9 lead boasted bv the school forces just before the final period started. Teamwork marked the varsity's win. for the tmints were well distributed on the win-i ners' side, but Coale and Kuhn were the only ones outstanding for the Alumni on the offense. Aging members of former Camp Hill teams, termed the Alumni of 1915, could not cope with the Camp Hijl Reserves in the second contest. Thej'ounger scrubs winded the veterans in a low-scoring frav that found youth prevailing at the finish, 8 to 3.

Grove and Bishop made all of the points for the Reserves. Girls Defeated Some consolation for the Alumni defeats was gained by the Alumnae, who downed the Camp Hill girls, 21 to 14, to prevent a school sweep of ihe program. Sally Faber and Peggy Spangler, co-captains of last year's girls' team, were the stars for the winners. In the 1915 Alumni lineup -were two players who made the trip to the West Shore from New Jersey in oraer to tatce part. CAMP HILL.

Player Added Hershey will be without the services of Harry Frost, speedy winger, for several games at least as he has been recalled by Boston due to injuries to Bruin players. Coach Herb Mitchell has a replacement lined up to take Frost's place but is unable to reveal the name of the player as the deal has not been completed. Mitchell indicated that the puck-chaser he has in mind is en excellent stick-handler and a good eoal-eetter i However, it was later learned that the Bears would have the serv ices of Chuck Corrigan, right-winger from the Springfield Indians, in the lineup against the Barons tomorrow night and he is slated to stay with the Hershey sextet until Frost is returned by the Bruins. Corrigan, who, it is hoped, goes the right way for the Bears, is expected to fit in at a time his services are sorely reeded to keep the Bears in the title race.

First of Three Games There will be no rest for the Hershey Cubs, members of the East em Amateur Hockey League, over the Christmas week-end for they have matches scheduled three nights in a row, starting tonight against the second-place Baltimore Orioles, in the Hershey Arena. Victories over the Orioles tonight and in Bal timore tomorrow night would give the Cubs second place the Hershey Cup series, which concludes over the week-end. New York's fast-traveling Rovers win entertain the Cuds on Monday "night at the same time the Cleveland and Hershey pro clubs are clashing in the Arena. Like the Bears, the Cubs are also using a new player over the week-end, including Les Tooke, new goalie ob-'tained to take the place of the injured Lee. BABE DIDRIKSON, ZAHARIAS MARRY ST.

EDISON DEFEATS CATHOLIC TEAM A good start more than offset a bad ending for the Edison Junior Highi School basketball team last evening as it marked up its second victory of the season over the Catholic High School Reserves, 25 to 22, on the Edison court. Nine points to the good at the close of the first period, Edison had enough left in the remaining periods to barely nose the fast finishing Catholic club.

Although the edge by which the Catholic Reserves outscored Edison in the last period was one point greater than that built up by the Keystoners at the start, a third period margin of 5 to 1 was sandwiched between by the charges of Coach Dick Hohenshelt to produce the victory. Sinkovitz, with ten points, led the Catholic Reserves in their determined last period attack that fell short of the goal. Weisbrod and Rodgers were the only Edison players in the varsity lineup to get more than one field goal, but their show ing was largely responsible for the Keystoners second cage success. Reserves Jolted By a 31 to 9 count, the Fifth Street Ponies rode to victory over the Edison Reserves in the preliminary game. Hoar and Wampler each marked up four field goals lor the Fifth Sheet club, while the Edison opponents could not get more than three two-pointers throughout.

Both teams fought on even terms in the first half, only a point sepa rating them at the start of the third period.

24. "Summer" weather yesterday sent Carnegie Tech's football squad to the shade. Coach Bill Kern worked the team during the morning on defense against the third-string C. team's passing attack, but there was no scrimmage. The weather turned hot, with a bright sun, and the Tech players stripped off jerseys and practiced in their trunks.

Kern, recovering from a slight attack of grip, would not let his team practice in the afternoon because of the high temperature, but he believed the morning sun had "boiled them out" and that his squad would be in top condition for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans Janu ary 2. First-string Fullback Jack Lee did not put on his uniform yesterday. Tech coaches, saying he would be out today for practice, were conn- dent he had recovered from injur- ios and would be in the starting lineup against Texas Christian Uni- versity in the post-season clash. Pittsburgh, Tinsley, of the Chicago Cardinals, on the flanks and Danny Fortmann, of the Chicago Bears, and Russ Let-low, Packer veteran, at the guards. Joe Stydahar, giant Bear forward who was the coaches' selection at right tackle, was a second team choice in the writers' opinion, Backfield Intact Lloyd Cardwell, Detroit halfback, whom the coaches placed on their first team, failed to make either the writers' first or second team.

Ed Danowski. of the Giants was the scribes' choice to team with White oh the first team and Alfonse (Tuffy)) )Leemans. of New York, and Cecil Isbell, of Green Bay, were awarded the second team berths. This procedure gave the writers the league leading ground gainer, White, the leading passer, Danowski, and the leading scorer, Hinkle, in their first team backfield. The writers' second team back-field Isbell and Leemans, halfbacks; Sammy Baugh of Washington, quarterback, and Bill Shepherd of Detroit, fullback, gave them four triple-threat men in this combination.

Bill Hewitt, who experienced a return to the form that, for several seasons, made him football's outstanding end, won a second team place with his Philadelphia teammate, Joe Carter, a flanker who ha3 not been given the recognition due him previously. The second team guards also were teammates, the writers selecting Johnny Dell Isola and Orville Tuttle, both of New York. Here again the writers disagreed with the coaches, who selected George Musso, Bear veteran, and Jim Karcher, of Washington, as their second team guards. Hewitt was the coaches' choice at left end and on the second team, but, at right end, they placed Milt Gantenbein, Packer veteran and instead of Carter. Rams Fall to Place Nine of the ten league clubs are represented on the writers' first two teams.

Cleveland, although its Johnny Drake, Corby Davis, Chuck Cherundolo and Jim Benton received heavy support, is the only team not represented. Green Bay placed three men on the first team Hutson, Letlow and Hinkle. The Giants were awarded two places, Widseth and Danowski being the New xor players se-lected. The Bears, with Fortmann and Bausch. and Brooklyn, with Kin ard and Parker, also landed two men on the first team.

Tinsley gave the Chicago Cardinals one representa tive and White did likewise lor Pittsburgh. CLUB TO FINANCE BURK'S DEFENSE PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 24. Penn Athletic Club's rowing committee yesterday approved a proposal to send Joe Burk, Diamond sculls winner, back to England to defend his championship next summer.
