The death of John Daviduke, 24, as a result of injuries received in a game inside the walls of Hartford state prison was the first among prison players since Warden Lewis E.

Lawes, of Sing Sing, first made football a part of prison routine several years ago. William McGettigan, 9, of Darlington. was the youngest player to die, receiving an infection in a sandlot game. The death list, although still high in the high school classification, is below the totals for 1931, 1932 and 1933, the three previous years in which the Associated Press has kept records. The high point of all time was reached in 1931 when fifty died of football injuries.

TomorrowThe Still in a Church Steeple. CAREER AT END, GRANGE WISHES JOB AS MENTOR Prefers Big Ten Post, but Loop Rule Against Pros Prevents It.

GAME TOO FAT FOR HIM Disappearance of Wonderful Starting Ability Has Kept Him on Bear Bench. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.Harold Grange. famous as a "galloping ghost" of the gridiron, is going to hang up his moleskin.

After twelve years of the sport. Grange, battered and worn, Is through as a player. This will be his last year. Next autumn will find him serving somewhere as a football coach. Grange has received several offers and he is carefully considering them all.

He would like to coach in the Western conference, but the rule which. prohibits former professional players from coaching at "Big Ten" schools prevents fulfillment of this ambition. Grange, most widely advertised play er in the history of college football was regarded as the greatest running halfback of all time in his three years at the University of Illinois. Back In 1924, with 67,000 spectators in attendance at the dedication of the Memo. rial stadium at Illinois.

Grange highlighted his amazing career by scoring four touchdowns against Michigan in the first twelve minutes of play. H. grabbed the opening kick-off and gal loped ninety-five yards for the first one. After finishing his college career. Grange joined the Chicago Bears, present professional football champions, in 1925 and drew throngs all over the catmtryin a sensational exhibition tour.

In 1926 he played with the New York Yankees in an Ill-fated outlaw 100E10 league sponsored by Charley Pyle, who first exploited Grange as a professional. The next year he was unable to play, due to an injured knee. In 1928 he rejoined the Beam and has played with them since. As his wonderful starting speed gradually disappeared, Orange lost his value as a ball carrier in the professional game, but he developed into one of the finest pass catchers as well as one of the finest of defensive backs in the National Professional league. But the circuit has become a little too fast for the galloping red-head and he has seen very little action this year.

1 Against Detroit last Sunday Orange played the third period and part of the fourth. When he trotted off the field the specators, possibly sensing the farewell appearance of one of the greatest players the game has ever known, gave him a tremendous ovation. George Halas, president and coach of the Bears, says Grange should make a splendid coach. Not only does be know football from every angle, but Grange, with his winning personality, has an other qualitythe ability to impart knowledge to LIST DEPLAYERS NAMED BY AMATEUR FEDERATIOU Lists of eligible players were released last night by the Chattanooga Amateur Basket Ball federation, as follows: Big Four Cranston Pierce, Pau Roy, Robert Brown, Earl Hazel, Ben Gray, Wilson Bigger, Fred Carter, Phil Thatch.

ria, Lee Mowery, Frank M'KECHNIE SAYS TERMS SIGNED WITH REDSKINS 1 Moore Praises Perry, White, Klein, Hinds Worried About Ends Next Season. "Fred Perry was outstanding all year and Charley White and Bob Klein also played good ball all year," Coach Scrappy Moore says when asked for his slant on the season just closed. "I mention Klein because he was a sophomore and for that reason I was more than satisfied with him. My junior guards and center came through for me as I expected them to." Klein landed on the Associated Press all-Dixie. Perry got all-American lhonorable mention, while that pair with Charley White were picked on The ITimes all-Dixie team.

Then there's Chick Hinds, who made second all-Dixie. 1 "I am pleased with Hinds," Scrappy states. He has the makings of a good halfback. He has finesse, fakes the ball correctly. That's why he went as well as he did this season." Moore considers the Mercer and Centre games the high spots of the season, as far as Moccasin play is concerned.

The U. C. clan had the Bears beat until the latter got a tie in the closing minutes. The Colonels were felled on the occasion of Thanksgiving. What Is Moore worried about most for next season? "Ends.

Losing both White and Perry makes it tough. Maybe there are some good ends on the freshmen. I surely hope so." V-8s Other Local Teams Believe Cage Season Would Be Better if Celts Came Later in Year. There Is an ever-growing feeling here that the early invasions of the Celtics make for a much less successful basket ball season than would be the case If they came later on In the campaign. The V-as have felt that way about it' for some time.

Now other coaches are beginning to have similar ideas on the subject. 1 "It takes all the pep out of the season for the Celtics to come in here the first or second week In January," one coach told us yesterday. "Their kame is the.high spot of-the season, and justly so, but the rest of our schedule is ruined as a result, as far as crowds are concerned. The Chattanooga basket ball, season is the Celtic game. But if it were held as a grand climax some time In February, as it used to be, the sport would command more Interest here over a longer period of time." The Ir-Bs' slant on the matter is the same, only more so.

More than once in recent years, the team has even disbanded shortly after the Celtic game because of lack in fan interest. Sponsors of the game here have different ideas on the matter, however. They feel that delay in bringing the Celtics here only serves to increase the chances of the V-as getting licked and that a result -a fall-off in attendance will be noted. It seems to Us that fans who think the V-8s will whip the Celtics are as rare as unbeaten southern grid teams which are given recognition by eastern writers. For that matter, no one feels that the game is any less attractive as a result.

It Is simply a dazzling display of wizardry, the unquestioned last word in up-to-the-minute cage play. This situation should be given thought by both parties concerned and a more satisfactory arrangement worked out. The Celts might be brought in later, possibly on the end of their southern tour, instead of at the very outset. They will still be the Celtics whenever they come. On the other hand, it may be that them early in the season, in the lead-off position of the annual tour.

Chances are, though, that it will be better for every one concerned if the hardwood magicians Invade in February. k. Did You Know? South Pia DAVIDSON GIVEN BACKFIELD PICK ON NOVEL TEAM Capt. Mackorell Praised as Best Small-College Quarter in Years. GARLAND CATAWBA STAR Davis and Teel, Birmingham Southern; Mackey, Emory and Henry, Mentioned.

BY EDWARD J. NIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YOmC, Dec. for a moment past the great, glittering stem of the 1934 football season, through the fog of fame that came their way by reason of great teams. major schedules, packed stadia and voluminous publicitl, perfect backgrounds for extraordinary skill.

Look for a moment at the little fellows, players in hundreds Of colleges, who labored just as earnestly, often with just as much ability, but rarely edging into the spotlight that fell constantly on their big brothers, unless fame came to them in the role of sparring partners on tune-up days when they should have been rolling over neatly and playing dead. Look at the little all-America for 1934, picked from the ranks of the small college elevens all over the country, with the aid of Associated Press observers in every section. It's an amazingly mighty aggregation. It would ask no quarter of the Associated Press' all-America, of Minnesota's Lund and Larson. of Alabama's Lee and Hutson.

Stanford's Bobby Grayson and Reyn- olds, Rice's Bill Wallace, Navy's Buzz Borries, and the rest. Justice for the little fellows falls 'naturally into sectional lines, with the south placing two man on the first team, the far west two, the midwest two. the southwest, northwest, the east and the spaces in between, one each. Nowhere was there sufficient ability on one team to muster two places. They come from Catawba, West Virginia, Tufts, Illinois Wesleyan, Tulsa, College of the Pacific, Davidson, Ohio Wesleyan, Gonzaga, North Dakota State and Williamette.

Outside of their own sections. such names as Johnny Mackorell, of Davidson, in the south: John Turley, of Ohio Wesleyan; "Ike" Peterson, of Washington's Gonzaga, and Fritz Hanson, of North Dakota State, mean next to nothing. yet they make up a first team backfield with a history of amazing performancesswift kids, all brilliant runners, passers, kickers, tough as doorknobs because they have to be. The ends, Bill Grinnell, of undefeated Tufts in the east, a 174-pound whippet. and Tod Goodwin, a big, savage walloper from West Virginia, who never has failed to star no matter what the opposition, would grace any line.

The tacklers, Tony Blazine. 210- pound co-captain of Illinois Wesleyan. and Charles Garland. 235 pounds of offensive and defensive dynamite in the Catawba line, are burly enough, fast and tough enough for any kind of going. Prochaska southwest Ace.

The southwest contributes a 185- pound center in Rudy Prochaska. co-captain of the Tulsa team, whom the experts down there describe as a "defensive wizard, knocking down passes, Making tackles all over the field, smooth passer, clever diagnostician. with the offensive charge of a baby tank." The guards are equally impressive. One Is stocky Cris Kjeldsen. 185- pound mainstay in the College of Pacific line that raised havoc with the.

big coast conference elevens. losing only to California by a point, Southern California by a touchdown, returning the veteran Amos Alonzo Stagg to the coechiag heights again. The other is Loren Grannis, of Willamette. 185 pounds of sturdiness. speed, defensive and offensive versatility.

Mackorell, Davidson captain and quarterback, ts a standout among backs anywhere. They say he is the best small college quarterback since "Dutch" Clark ran for Colorado college. Mackorell, weighing 185 pounds, competing against such teams as North Carolina State, Army, Duke and North Carolina, averaged five and a hair yards every time he ran from scrimmage, thirty-eight yards with his kicks, and completed twenty-five out of forty-five passes for a total of 280 yards. Hanson was a ball of fire for North Dakota State, as fast a back as the country saw this season. He only weigh ul 145 pounds, but he scored three times on Texas Tech, twice on Oklahoma City, with rtms of ninety-seven and seventy-seven yards to his credit.

Every opposing coach thought he was a marvel. Petersen was even better, scoring seventy-nine points In ten games for Gonzaga, averaging seven and a half yards every time he carried the ball in 144 tries, intercepted eleven passes, completing twenty-four out of forty-one himself, kicking thirty-seven Pwds on an average. He had downs of runs better than fifty yards to his credit. He gained sixty-seven yards against San Francisco university, the team that held Bobby Grayson to four yards. Turley, of Ohio Wesleyan, placed at fullback, was just as good at half and quarter.

He weighs 185, and does everything. He scored eighty-two Points in eight games, 100 touchdowns, four field goals, ten extra points. He's an all-sports star, did all the passing and ran wild for a team that lost only to Syracuse and Cincinnati university. As with any all-star team, there are too many good ball players to fit on one eleven, forcing a host of sectional stars such as John Arrambide, of Whittier (Cal.) Ralph Semerad, of tniOn (N.

ATLANTAIn selecting an all-star team of the south this year.

the writer has attempted to cover the territory embraced in the southern, the southeastern and the southwestern conference, an area stretching from Maryland to Texas. Naturally it is a big assignment but thanks to correspondence with coaches all over the section, a fair representation list herewith. although large, comtion has been reached. Five of the players selected on the first team were observed by the writer in action and the others Were seen by scouts and coaches. It might be added that the special mention list herewith, although large comprises only those players who were specifically recommended for places on the team.

The length of the list attests the large number of good players and good teams developed in the south this year. The ends, Hutson, of Alabama, and Willis, of Maryland, may be the best pair ever produced in this section. think Hutson is the greatest end have seen in ten years. He weighs 190 pounds, can handle any tackle by himself, covers punts exceptionally well due to his great speed and sure tackling, is superlative pass receiver, is fast enough and shifty enough to gain heavy yardage on end-around reverses. In addition he often kicks off and converts the extra points by placement.

Willis, of Maryland, is little less effective than Hutson. He is rated the best end Maryland has had since Bill Supplee, ten years ago. He weighs 191, is six feet five inches tall and is used on short passes over the line of scrimmage with deadly effect. Fuqua Plenty Good. Another exceptional end is Fuqua, of Southern Methodist university, who broke a collar bone in the Pordham game.

He has developed a new technique in blocking that he learned from a The best pair observed this year are Buck and McCarn. of North Carolina. Pounders. of Tennessee, is away above the average, too, in speed, weight and effectiveness. The tackles selected are Lee, of Alabama, and Rukas, of Louisiana State university.

Lee is 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 225 pounds. yet is fast as an end going down under punts. His forte is defense; no two men can handle him. He is a durable sixty-minute performer. Rukas is the same type, with powerful driving legs and so much speed that his coach uses him as running guard on many power plays.

Other tackles who are tops down here are Bailey, of Tennessee; Williams, of Georgia Tech, and Tatum, of North Carolina. The guards, Barclay, of North Carolina, and Wetsel, of Southern Methodist, seem to be outstanding this year. Barclay, 185 pounds, is without a weakness at blocking, swinging out into interference or dropping back to protect a passer. On defense he backs up the line and if any lineman is having trouble Barclay can take his place and often has done so. He is a wizard at diagnosing plays and has broken up passes far back down the field.

His value to his team is emphasted by the fact that he calls signals on offense in the huddle and in this respect is a first-class field general. Wetzel weighs 190 pounds and is rated the best guard in the southwest. He is an all-round smart guard, with great driving power on defense. His nomination was unanimous among all southeastern observers. Other guards above the average are Charles Marr, of Alabama: John Brown, of Georgia, and Jack Dunlap, of Duke.

Newby Bats 9Em Down. Newby. of Arkansas, the center, is 6 feet 1 inch and scales 200 pounds, yet he was the fastest working backer-up of the year. His forte was pass defense, at which he had no superior. Other first-class centers were Robinson, of Tulane, rated but little behind Newby; McKnight, of Georgia, and Gilbert, of Auburnthe latter a sophomore.

The quarterback post was given to the best signal caller, blocker and all-around back in the southwest. McCauley, of Rice, weiglui 200 pounds and could evermore smash a line or block an end. He was a good passer and cut the total down to thirty-eight in 1932 and thirty-six last year, ten of those in 1933 being listed in the "doubtful" class. The total of sixteen among high school students is the highest in that classification of the last three years and an increase of five over 1933. The death of only two college players, however, Lawrence Froeliger, 20.

of Arnold college. New Haven. and Ted Williams. Furman freshman marks a new low for the colleges and universities. Eight were killed in 1933.

Froeliger received a broken neck making a tackle in a game with northeastern university. Williams died of injuries suffered in scrimmage. Although no accurate figures are available on Just how many youngsters play the game each fall, it has been estimated by sports leaders and sports goods houses that at least 500.000 colleges and university men play the game each fall and over twice that many in high schools and preparatory schools. of the thirteen cases where information was available, eight were killed while tackling another player, one while blocking and the other four as a result of being tackled. blasted its pennant hopes in 1934.

Washington's Senators tied Detroit in team fielding with an official mark of .974. The Senators, so weakened that not one of its regulars was able to play within twenty games of its complete schedule, led the circuit in double plays with 167. Individual fielding champions of the league for 1934 and their official records: First base, Zeke Bonura, Chicago. .996 in 127 games; second base, Oscar Melillo, St. Louis, .981 in 141 games; third base, Willie Kamm, Cleveland, .978 in 118 games; shortstop, Lyn Larry, Boston, .965 in 129 games; catcher, Rick Ferrell, Boston, .990 in 128 games; outfielder, Sammy Byrd, New York, .988 in 104 games.

Sixteen pitchers, who participated in ten or more games, had perfect fielding records. with Schoolboy Rowe, of the championship Detroit Tigers, leading the field by acceOting five in forty-five games. Willis Rudlin, of Cleveland, participated in thirty-six games. but handled chances with only one error. Murphy, of New York, had the most putoutsnineteen.

Our winner pickings last week were thirty-eight victories and ten losses for a .792, bringing the season mark up to wins and 127 defeats. Memphis is going to trade or sell Andy Reese. Bill Britton is just as good a bet as Paul Parker to land the Vol head post. Coaching vacancies are expected to bob up at Virginia, Mississippi State and South Carolina.

And when Ray Morrison takes the Vandy job, which he Is almost certain to do, look for him to accept only on the basis that he sweeps the boards with new assistants. The pairing of Temple and Tu lane in the Sugar Bowl game may seem off hand to be a far cry from a title tilt, and while It will be a real game, some fans may wonder If the Sugar setto Is accomplishing anything. You can put It In your hat brim that it sewed up Alabama's bid to the Rose Bowl. If there had been no Sugar Bowl affair, it would have been an even bet that Pitt would have been Invited to face Stanford. The Southern does not plan an excursion tO New Orleans New Year's day.

IGerman Tiger Invades Hans von Buesing, who makes his debut here tomorrow at Memorial auditorium, is known as the German mat king of Europe, and to the wrestling fans across the water as the German tiger. Buesing has been a student of the guile since the age of IA and before entering the professional ranks. he held the amateur title.

While attending the University of Heidelberg, he was active in all lines of athletics, particularly those commanding great physical strength. After his graduation he followed 'wrestling as a profession, to be rewarded finally with the European heavyweight championship, under Graeco-Roman rules (no holds below the waist). He is 28, weighs 207 pounds and hard as nails. He is recognized as being one of the cleanest and cleverest men in the wrestling game today and issues a challenge to any topnotcher or even the recognized champion. The young German is a likable chap with a pleasing personality and bears no scars from his over 700 matches.

He has been in this country only a short while and has spent most of the time in the midwest. He is a personal friend of Max Schmeling. having appeared with him on several cards while in Germany. He has a hobby for training and is always in the best of condition. Buesing meets Kid Bashara in the American Legion's opening tilt.

The semifinal pits Karl Davis against Dory Roche, while the main go finds Chief Chewchki clawing, chewing, kicking and possibly grappling Paul Jones. when on the receiving end of passes was as shifty as a halfback. He combined all the qualities necessary to a good quarterback. Shorty Roberts, of Georgia Tech, weighs only 130 pounds, yet perhaps was the best safety man of the year and one of the smartest signal callers. He was a fine pass receiver, but his light weight made him of little use as a blocker.

Riley Smith. 193 pounds, of Alabama, was a smart field general and a terrific blocker. Parker, of Duke, was a first-class triple-threat quarterback and Hinson, of Clemson, a great safety man. To Howell, of Alabama, and Mickal, of Louisiana State, go the halfback posts. Howell weighs 160 pounds; is a great safety Man, a shifty runner off tackle or on delayed bucks, and his bag of broken-field trucks is inexhaustible.

In addition. he is a superlative passer. who threw a soft ball timed so that his receivers could take it on the run. His punts averaged forty-three yards and he could kick out of bounds inside the ten-yard stripe as often as he was within range.

"Take that game the other night. We have a two-goal lead going into the third period and then everybody gets hurt. Allan Murray has an injured spine (and that Is no fun in hockey), Bill Brydge has been out since the first of the season with a torn ligament, and my side hurts." "What's wrong with it?" "Oh, a couple of -fractured ribs, they say. But I don't think so. They x-rayed them this morning and we'll know tomorrow Once I had four fractured ribe in the first period and I didn't know I until two days later when I could hardly breathe.

Hockey's a nice game." The American heroes, Worters, Mines, Oliver, Oracle, Conn. Klein. Burke, Chapman, Schriner, Carr and Smith and a practice goalie from New Haven, were hitting a furious pace out on the ice, with no time-outs, no face-offs and no substitutions until a man dropped in hist tracks. "We don't practice very hard," said Dutton. "You should see the Rangers practice.

They kill each other. We don't believe in that sort of stuff." Is a bigger -tack, whose 185 pounds were effective in blocking and tackling. Mickal is a quick kicker par excellence and as a long passer has no superiors. He is a money player from away back, who can pull a game out of the flue with a long pass any time. At the fullback position I have placed Simons, of Tulane.

He operated from a blocking halfback position, but he weighed 190 pounds and fulfilled all the duties of a fullback when necessary. He had great drive on plunges and against every opponent ran from thirty to sixty yards for a touchdown on plays inside or outside tackle. Once a step beyond the line of scrimmage he cut back raster than any back of the year. None of the regular fullbacks of the year was consistent, due to injuries Chapman, of Georgia; Phillips, of Georgia and Loftin, of Tulane, were expected to be sensations, but injuries slowed all of them down below form. Chapman came back in November to play well, but the other two never regained their 1933 form.

Hutson, of Mississippi; Demyanovich, of Alabama, and Shuford, of Southern Methodist, were good, but not quite up to standard. Among other backs of various nomenclatures who were above the general run were Wilson, Southern Methodist whose triple-threat ability was outstanding; Wallace, of Rice, a tall speed marvel, who ran with 1 Fritz Hanson, North Dakota State.

Kamm won the third base defensive championship in 1934 with an average of .978, official figures revealed today. As a member of the White Sox, Kanun won the same title from 1924 through 1929.
