Opinions differ ON the picking of
an "All-Newark" team. Here is a
football fans version;
J. p. N:
+, | would thank you for d little Of
your valuable space to express my
opinion of Randall D. Warden's
selection of an "All-Newark Team"
[ think that several players have
been done an injustice by this selec-
ton. The one who probably suffered
most was Digger" Smith, of Cen
! trail, in that Phelps was selected as
! guard in preference to him. This is
| the general opinion of the players OF
| the various schools of the vicinity
In the Central South Side game
Smith played tackle against Alex
ander. another of Mr. Warden's
selections, and completely outplayed
him. One might say that Phelps's
selection is due to his drop-kiclSing
ability. As to this, he won tine re-
cent contest on the biggest of
'flukes," for he was obviously not
the best man. Phelps also lacks one
/ of the essentials of good football
player, /. e.. pep"
/ also dispute Alexander's selec-
ton over Mausert. In the East Or
Q no On, h g
the luminaries of the game. East
Orange being unable to gain through
him. AS to the selection of Ander-
son for the pivot position, I again
disagree with Mr.. Warden and
heartily uphold you in your selection
of Smethurst, Barringer. | believe
that either Bosset or Engleberger, of
Central, or Bloren or Huntington,
of South Side, are superior to Laz-
ron at halfback.
Why not pick a team yourself. J.
p. N? L know that the readers of
your columns would greatly appre-
ciate it. Very truly yours,
A FOOTBALL FAN.
1t is one of those easy propositions
to cut into another mans opinion.
Harold Smith, the Central guard, is
an excellent player, but you must
take into consideration that he was
out a goodly part of the season. He
played tackle and guard, but in the
early season practice he sustained a
broken rib which hampered his
progress to a degree. Phelps won
the drop-kicking contest on his
merits. You say Phelps lacked the
pep" He played good enough foot
ball to make the South Side High
School team, which tied Barringer
for the honors in the Newark High
Schools Athletic Association League.
Mausert is conceded to be a better
tackle than Alexander The Bar
ringer player has had more ex-
perience in the scholastic field. The
team I would pick would contain the
following players, but you will not
agree with me, nor will others, and
now see the trouble you have gotten
me into: Hummell, Barringer, left
end; M9usert, Barringer, left tackle;
Noble, Barringer, left guard; Smet-
hurst, Barringer. centre; Sliker. Bar
ringer, right guard; Alexander, South
Side, right tackle; Bell. South Side
| right end; Zacker, South Side. quar-
| terbaclS; Schneider, Barringer, full
back; Bossett, Central, halfback, and
Cairns, Barrlnger, halfback. You
/ could do better yourself, I know, but
have only done your bidding.

Who is the better tenor singer, Ca
russo or Mccormack? l. B.
Caruso probably is the greatest
grand opera tenor the world has ever
known. Mccormack probably is the
greatest lyric tenor living. To say
one is better than the other would be
like making a comparison between
nents, as to say, for instance, that
Paderewsl<i. the pianist, is greater
than Kreisler, the vlolinist.

[ am eighteen years old and weigh
LOG pounds and am very anxious to
become a Jockey. How can ] go
about it? L. r.
In the first place you are little too
old and almost too heavy to be a
successful Jockey, although, OF course,
you may be able to learn the tricks
of the trade rapidly. The hard work
In connection with the apprenticeship
would also probably take down your
weight. The best way to go about
becoming a jockey would be to APP
prentice yourself to trainer of one
of the larger racing stables at Bel
mont Park, Queens, Long Island, and
make up your mind that you have a
hard job ahead. OF course, the
trainer will show you the correct
way to ride q horse, but the other
essentials, such as getting away from
the barrier and judging pace, will
rest with yourself.
J. p. N:
How should a person breathe in
taking light dumbbell exercises?
j. NJ.
1t depends on the nature of the
exercise. Just breathe naturally
| Place the dumbbells on your chest
and then inhale as you raise or ex-
tend your arms, exhaling gently and
again. Follow the principle of d
bellows in all forms of the exercise
! inhaling when expanding and extend
| ing your arms, and exhaling when
drawing In your arms. Take your
breath naturally, but prolong the
length of each breath little above
| the ordinary.
