WI HEN picking the All Southern
w California eleven individuality
in players that makes them the
shining stars in possibly one or more
spectacular feats on the gridiron dur
ing the season is not always the most
desirable in the makeup of a champion
ship eleven.
The All Star team was compiled from
thorough sitting of the opinions OF
such local football authorities as Bill
Tappaan, who has worked in the ranks
of the Cornell team and several years
ago acted as coach for the University
of Southern California; Ed Galley, who
has starred in many a gridiron battle
in both Southern California and Colo
rado; Coach Rheinschild of the st. Vim

agree as to the lineup. the line repre-

TWO BIDS FOR FIGHT
BACKED WITH MONEY
Many False Bids Received for jeff
johnson Fight-Tom McCarey
Expected to Make Large
Offer

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-According to
Bob Murphy, who is stakeholder for
the Jeffries- johnson fight not q single
offer of the many that have been COM
ing in for a month from all sorts of
would-be promoters has been accom-
panied by the necessary certified check
for $4,000, as stipulated in the articles
of agreement. Murphy says that unless
these offers are backed up with the re-
quired forfeit before December / they
will be thrown in the waste basket to
clear the way and save time for legiti-
mate club promoters to put in their
bids. When articles were signed the
fact that $4,000 must accompany each
bid as a guarantee of good faith was
widely published, so that it is safe to
say that the bids already received by
the stakeholder are worthless. AS the
time draws near to consider bids, the
impression grows that Jack Gleason
and James Coffroth are the only pro-
moters who will be taken seriously,
unless Thomas McCarey of Los Angeles
comes across with an Unexpectedly big
offer. In private conversation both
Jeffries and johnson have admitted
that Gleason and Coffroth are the only
San Francisco men who know how to
pull off big mill, and as these pro-
moters have plenty of ready money
with which to meet conditions that may
be named by the puglists, it seems to
be a fOregone conclusion that one or
the other will get the match. So per-
sons who never had a chance to pull off
the fight in Idaho, Utah, Colorado,
Washington, Kentucky, Georgia, Con-

may soon realize that time and postage
have been wasted to no purpose.
This offering of purses has become a
mania with some persons, and the pugi-
lists also their managers, are con-
stantly annoyed by queerly worded let
ters. A little man carrying cigar box
under his arm hung around Broad

numerous persons that he wanted to

ASta Aggregation After Thorough Sitting of Merits OF
PLAYERS Who Have Handled Pgskin All the
Campuses of This End of State
BY n. b. MYRAN

each man can be depended on to assist
another i'm putting through play.
AS Bill Tappaan said when asked for
his opinion as to who should compose
the team: Lets consider the fellows
that assist the other fellow; this in
dividuality in football especially for the
bleachers is bad on the team work
And Bills choice tailed with the above
team with the exception of one guard.
Galley picked all with the exception of
Kepner, whom Rheinschild liked and
Sorenson liked, too He thought Har-
rell should have had a place at tackle,
which was also considered by Cappaan.
There is very little choice between Har-
rell and Kepner; for latter showed up
to such good advantage in the U. S. G.
and Pomona game against his heavier
opponent, Stookey, that his right to
the position can hardly be questioned.
Right End
Neghbors is beyond doubt the right
man for this position. as he has shown
himself to be the best defensive player
that has appeared at the extreme right
on the Fiesta gridiron this season. Be
sides being good on the defense, he is
a first class punter that can be relied
on for good gains whenever called to
boot the pigslSin.
Right Tackle
G. Rheinschild is so far above anyone
else that has been developed this sea-
son that he has the field entirely TO
himself. When it comes to charging
and bursting up an interference,
"Rheiney' is the man for the job. His
ability to assist his backs by making
holes in the opposing line and then as
sisting by pulling them through makes
him an ideal lineman.
Right Guard
This position goes to w. Smart of
Occidental with due consideration given
to the merits of Crawford of the
Saints, who would be an ideal guard
| had he little more weight to assist in
his heady playing. Smart is a strong
and steady lineman and has the weight
His showing this season, although
nothing remarkable, has been good.
Center
Without doubt Cass of the law
| school team is far ahead of anyone
that has worked in that position this
season. Lewis of the Saints, although
a strong and steady center with
good pass, lacks Cass' strong defen-
sive game. Time after time this sea-
son Cass has broken through and
tackled the backs for loss.
Left Guard
Captain F. Murray of the Catholics
is entitled to this position, although
Stookey of the u. S. c. team has been
playing hard game at left guard.
Stookey has good weight, but tackles
too high. while Murray is a good tack
Ter and has had the experience.
Left Tackle
Kepner of Pomona is entitled to this
place as his aggressive game this sea-
son has been a great help to his team
in landing the conference champion
ship. Harrell of the barrister team is
a strong contender for this place, but
the position must go to the Pomona
man for his steady work with that
winning team.
Left End
This position goes to Thompson Of

the Occidentals for the aggressiveness
he has shown in all the "Oxy" con-
tests and besides his experience is also
to his credit. None of the other ends
have shown his class, and the place
goes to him with clear title.
Quarter
For this position there are three
candidates-Ickes of the L. S. c., F..
Murray Of the Saints and Cohen of
the barrister eleven. Cohen is a fast
little quarter. but his 10 pounds and
inability to stand the gaff is against
him. Murray, although a consistent
and heady player his work is not
quite up to the u. S. G. quarterback
whirlwind. Eckes has had the expert
ence and is good at receiving and ad-
vancing a punt in an open field.
Right Half
c. Decius is entitled to this place,
which he has earned by his consistent
work on both the varsity and law
elevens. Decius and Neighbors could
do the punting for the team.
Left Half
Shut of Pomona, link" Wieman of
Occidental and Tortez of the Saints,
all are good halves and each has his
quality necessary in the makeup of an
all-star half that entities him to con-
sideration, Tortez is good with the
ball in an open field, while Wieman
is a strong interference man, but Shut
is the best at advancing the ball in
straight football, and must be given
the place.
Fullback
RAIDER undoubtedly is the best full
back developed this season. His ex-
perience and knowledge of the game,
combined with his powerful line
plunges that seldom fail to gain, gives
him this position without a competitor
