It was at first announced that Mount Carmel and Shamokin would battle it out every Thanksgiving Day, but "a switch has been made which is no fault of Mount Carmel's, so it was agreed for the benefit of all concerned that Mount Carmel and Shamokin come to grips on Armistice Day. That leaves Mahanoy City and Mount Carmel for the Turkey Day fuss. There is enough rivalry between these two schools to guarantee success to their Turkey Day scrap.

Mount Carmel could pick no better opponent for Thanksgiving Day than the Maroon and Black eleven. Record Crowd Expected to See These Evenly Matched Foemen in Battle Tomor-! row in Mt. Carmel Park.

West End won last year and clinched the Class football championship of the lower anthracite region, a title they will bo defending on Sunday afternoon against these verv same Del- mars. i The odds are even because the Tig- I ers will be without the services of Kowalik, perhaps the best backt'ield man in these parts, if he's not the best, who is? lie's the fastest back, anyway, and as a broken field rimmu-lie stands pre-eminent in these parts.

Declares Bears Didn't Get Money For Winning Game Couim unicateil) Editor, The News: In the winner-take-all foot bull game which was played in the Mount Carmel Park in which the Kiilpmont Hears were victorious, has not fared out financially to the Kiilpmont Hears as the Wolverine manager has failed to date to turn over to the "Hears" (he proceeds of the game. It will be recalled that the Hears won by a forfeit, the Wolverines failing to abide by the referee's decision, when I've inflicted a 36-yard penalty for slugging. The Kiilpmont. manager and play- ers are highly incensed against Hie Wolverine aggregation for lailurfi to i return to them the entire gate re ceipts, which rightfully belongs to them.

The evening following the game, when the manager of the Bears called on the Wolverine manager to collect the entire gate receipts he was asked what he was going to do about the gate receipts, as no agreement was made in event the game broke up. The Kiilpmont manager reminded them of their agreement, winner take all, but the manager of the Wolves stated the boys of his team were not satisfied to turn over the entire receipts, as the Kiilpmont team was not worth so much money. Finally after much arguing, the Hears were offered 50 per cent of the receipts which the Hears' manager promptly turned down. Manager Hogan called on the coach of the Wolverines last evening I lUmisiiwIhur tliA i.nln rpremlft Mini he was sent away with this rebuke: "Try and Get It." CHARLES HOGAN.

By NORMAN E. BROWN Enough funs paid me the pretty compliment of being interested in my choices for the various all-star elevens this fall that I rushed my Ail-American team aheal of the last of the sectional ones for their benefit. Hut those who bold allegianeo to or are interested in the doings of tbe southern colleges will be as interested in today's mythical eleven as they were In the A 11-American. Here are my All-Southern selec- (inns ENDS Lowe, of Tennessee. Thompson, of Georgia.

TACKLES Holland, of Virginia. Luckie, of Georgia. GUARDS Levy, of Tulane. Dismukes, of Alabama. CENTER Pool, of Georgia Tech.

QUARTER Hubert, of Alabama. HALFBACKS Fuolrnoy, of Tulane, Jones, of Florida. FULLBACK. Wyckoff. of Georgia Toth.

The South last season offered for the inspection of the football world the 'greatest backflolds ever produced in that section. The two were Priestly Flornoy, halfback of Tulane University, and Hubert, quar- tflH)ack ot ul0 Alabama eleven which won the southern collegiate cham-. pionship. Hubert is without a doubt the best field general the South has ever produced. Flotirnoy is the greatest punter and drop kicker.

These men stood out in a season which was productive of an unusual number of good, almost great backfleld men. Wycoff simply repeated Ills great work of past season. Jones demands recogntiion for Florida. In addition to the four men mentioned one might select four more from such men as: Lautenschlager (Flournoy's teammate), Maurer, or Oglethorpe; Wilson, of Washington and Lee; Brown, of Aiamaba; White, of Virginia Military Institute, and Reese, of Vauderblll. The line play of these southern colleges produced some brilliant players also.

Probably the outstanding of these stars are Tool, Georgia Tech's '-enter, and Luckio, Georgia U. tackle. On a second team to represent the South I would select: Ends: Ollinger, Auburn; Tilghman, Furman. Tackles: Rivers, Vanderbilt; Carpenter, Georgia Tech. Guards: Goodwin, Georgia Tech; Blackledge, Tulane.

Center: Wilson, Tulane. Quarter: Lautenschlager, Tulane. Halfbacks: Maurer, Oglethorpe; Wilson, Washington and Lee. Fullback: Devin, North Carolina. Gordon W.

Chambers, leading football critic of the South, to whom I am indebted for help in placing these players, winds up a cheerful letter of comment on the past season with the remark that: "The South has arrived in football and it will be a long time before Northwestern nad folks up that way forget the Tulane victory over the conquerors of Michigan and the Georgia Tech victory over the Penn Staters, both games being played on the loser's fields." MILLVILLE AND LANCASTER GAME Millviile and All-Lancaster will clash for the third time this season on Sunday afternoon at Lancaster. Millviile won both previous contests by big scores. "MOON" BAKER CAPTAIN Ralph (Moon) Baker, star halfback of the Northwestern University football team, has been elected captain for 192G. The news of the entire region In The Mount Carmel News. Crack Ensemble of Female Basketeers, Mount Carmel High School's Championship Combination, Ought to Win Consistently This Year.

Willi all but two members of the championship machine of 1U24 and '2fi still in school, the female basketball ensemble of Mount t'annel Hi ought to have no trouble in repenting its sensational gallop of a year ago when' marched right thru the 1). M. S. League and copped the championship bands down. The sliawberry-hued amazons, a crack basketball cyclone in its entirety, won 1(1 out of 11 games last fall, succumbing only to Sunbury High in a "tainted" game which was not played according lo league rules.

Mount Carmel won the first game l'rn in Sunlmry, however, by an over whelming score, and losing the second one, 15-1(1. Tainaqna.

Misses Mona Pipa and Doris Smith, high pressure scoring forwards, will be back, and so will Miss Delia Zor-etski and Miss Dot Toy, jump center and side center, respectively. Other candidates are Misses Lillian Cbtibl), Emerila Hanlon, IJary Milialn. Virginia Kachel, Dot Lord, Minnie Miller ami Mary March Inski. Looks kiuda blue for the Jayvees, especially with such a in action. varsity lineup Pottsville Must Stop Driscoll to Win World's Professional Gonfalon The Pottsville Maroons, one of tbe greatest professional football teams ever assembled, will fight for the pro fessional football title of the world to morrow afternoon at Chicago, 111., when they meet the league-leading Chicago Cardinals.

The Maroons will have to watcn Paddy Driscoll, backfield ace and drop kicker par excellent of the Cards, who made the All-Ameriaan lew years ago while calling signals for Northwestern University. Driscoll was a star in the days when Stinchcoinb, Harley and Gipp were wrecking the Western Conference goal posts. PLAYS GOLF George F. Baker, aged S5, who gave Columbia t'uiversity its athletic Held, keeps himself lit by playing golf. Leo Cahn returned to New York after spending a week with his parents, Mr.

SALARY LIMIT The salary limit of the Western League baseball clubs has been cut from $5500 to HUGE SUM Huge sums are paid by soccer clubs in England for star players.

Purses as high as $25,000 are asked for the transfer of stars. 60 HOMERS Tony Lazerre, the "Bahe" Ruth of the Pacific Coast League, knocked out 60 home runs this season. It is a major league record. WOMAN BOWLER Mrs. Goldie Greenwald, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is credited with being the only women who ever rolled a perfect bowling score in a match game.

MAROONS AT CHICAGO TO MEET CARPS THAT unable lo get up until after ten see-; onds be should not be allowed to continue fighting. Would Eliminate "Saved by the Bell" Still another point in favor of this rule change is that it would do away with a knocked out fighter being "saved by the hell," with the ever present suspicion that the timekeeper was a little hasty with the bell rope for the purpose of saving him. I have seen the bell rung several seconds ahead of time on many occasions, and have held a stop watch on every important light I've ever covered since the night Kid McCoy and Kid Carter foiiflil in Philadelphia. That was a desperate battle and any man less cunning and resourceful than the Kid would have been dangerously beaten and knocked out. As it was I doubt that McCoy ever recovered entirely from the effect of blows received when he was practically helpless.

It was McCoy's own fault that he nearly had his head knocked oft' that evening. I met him on the train going to Philadelphia a'ud we sat together. McCoy was anxious to talk about Carter. lie was, I think, a little jenlous of the blonde Norseman's growing ring reputation. Carter was a savage fighter who look any and all risks in a fight for the purpose of nutting over a knockout punch.

lie knocked out a lot of men and was himself knocked out by Hilly Hanra-han later, and by knocking out Joe Walcott in seven rounds and Joe Choynski in a round had established a uniiiue reputation. Walcott up to that time had been considered punch-proof, and Choynski had given JeffrioB lough twenty-round fight not long before. "I'm going to show this slugger up," (Continued on Page Four) COACH HOAG AT THE GAME Dr. Mark Rooney Hoag, head coach of football at Mount Carmel High, and W. R.

SYRACUSE WILL DO FOR McLINN Sammy McLinn, mighty quarterback of the Harrisburg Tech team a couple of years ago, will enter Syracuse University next fall. McLinn Btarred' against Mount Carmel here one year. He later went to Penn State, but he was injured and nearly paralyzed and had to give up the game. Now he is well again and intends to play with Syracuse. it Banquet Given Last Evening for Football Team Loving Cup for Quinn Mike Klemhara, bulky center on the Shamokin High School football team, and considered one of the best athletes in the region, was? last evening elected captain of the lfWi Shamokin eleven.

His selection was made at a banquet in the Hotel Graemar last evening, at which time addresses were made by Coach Tlall and mem bers of the Shamokin High School faculty. Superintendent Howertli also delivered a brief address, in which he praised the work of the team during the season just passed. During the course of the evening's festivities Dr. J.

ALABAMA WON'T PLAY The University of Alabama, football champions of the South, withdrew detiinitely as a possible opponent for the University of Washington in the annual Tournament of Roses football classic to be played at Pasadena, on New Year's Hay. HIGH CAGERS TOUGH SCHEDULE The Mount Carmel High School basketeer3 must round into shape by Friday night if they hope to start the hectic season with a victory. In bumping against the Green and Gold machine of Mount Carmel Township High in the opening game, the Red squad is meeting no "sooner." It's a rather tough battle for both teams just because it will be the first game for both fives'.

Trevorton High, which team licked Mount Carmel in the local gym last year, will give the Red cohorts another stiff argument, just the opposition they need to fit them for the Anthracite League race which begins an January 8. The strength of the Mount Carmel squad will be definitely ascertained following the Trevorton rumpus. The schedule follows: Dee. 11, Locust Gap, home; Dec. 18, Trevorton, home; Dec.

23, Alumni, home. Jan. 8, Mahanoy City, home; Jan. 9, Trevorton, away; Jan. 15.

12, Mahanoy City, away; Feb. 19, Shenandoah, home, Feb. 26, Shamokin, away. March 8, Hazleton, home; March Ashland, away; March 18, Locust Gap, away. By ROBERT EDGREN Here's a suggestion for boxing commissions in New York and elsewhere; a suggestion right inline with other improvements in the boxing rules designed to prevent confusion and promote better competition: When a contestant: is knocked down within ten seconds of the end of a round let the referee- continue, the count until the fighter gets up or is counted out.

Rule that a boxer must return to his corner unassisted at the end of a round. If a man is knocked down a few seconds before the bell, why should his seconds be allowpd to rush into the ring, drag him, to Ins corner, arouse him by the use of restoratives and slMiiulanls, and send him out still groggy to helplessly take a beating. Nobody is injured by a clean knockout blow received when he is strong. All ring injuries follow punishment delivered when the victim is in no condition to defend himself and is loo limp to offer physical resistance to a blow. Another point: A boxer who delivers a knockout blow within ten see- onds of the bell ending the round loses credit for winning a fight he lias actually won.

lie had delivered the winning blow within the three-miu-nte interval of lighting, and 'the count begun by the referee should lie continued to "ten" unless the man who is down succeeds in getting up unassisted. If there was a rule providing that a boxer must go to his corner unassisted, at the end of a round, there would he no added hardship in having the referee or timer continue a count if the boxer was on the floor at the time. If he was not in bad shape he'd be up and on his way to the corner within ten seconds.
