ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
WITH REAL PUNCH

Few football fans will dispute the fact
that the all-American team presented
herewith would not make the going rough
for Pittsburgh, Army. Yale or any OF
the big teams. To the best of our knowl-
edge none Of our selection ever qualified
as real football player, which makes
it a distinct All-American team, or &il-
wrong-as you like it. Here It is, boys
outpoint 1t. II you can:
Ends-Freddie Welsh and Johnny Kill
bane.
Tackles-Battling Levinsky and Billy
Miske.
Guards-Frank Moran and Carl Morris.
Center-Fred Fulton.
Quarter Back-Kid williams
Half Backs-Jack Dillon and Mike Glib
bons.
Full Back-Jess Willard.
Welsh and Kilbane won't miss thing;
good at boxing their opponents and
wonderfully clever at interfering with
the other fellows punches
Battling Levinsky will tackle anything
from a heavyweight to a giant, and
Miske already has tackled the Battler
Eddie Rickenbacher in his Deusenbers
couldn't push Carl, Morris and Frank
Moran out of the way at the guards,
and Fred Fulton should make an ideal
center, as he has a reach to heaven and
roves around more than Jim Flynn.
Kid Williams is the greatest general
since Great Britain farmed out Napoleon
to St Helena and has a good punch.
Gibbons and Dillon, both hard-hitters, are
the last words in half backs, good on the
defense and more dangerous than Fred
Pollard on the attack.
Jess Willard at full back can't be
stopped. Anyway, there's q cool million
awaiting the fellow who can do it.

TAD Jones THE new
STAR OF GRID WORLD
Yale's Coach Is Newcomer in Foot
balls Hall of Fame.
BY JACK VEIoCK.

international News Sports Editor)
New York, Dec. 7.-Footbalrs Hall Of
Fame has a newcomer. The aged guar
dian of the sacred hall was aroused by
a Iusty rapping just as the twilight shad-
ows were stretching their purple lengths
across the Yale Bowl at New Haven on
November 25, and Tad Jones. Yale's
coach. demanded admittance.
Tad Jones, the new miracle man Of the
gridiron, stood there in all of his glory.
and the portals welcomed him enter, for
Jones stands out today as the newest of
the wonder workers in football, and the
whole football world is singing his
praises.
Yale's victory over Harvard was the
grand climax of a season Of hard work.
Her earlier victory over the Princeton
Tiger was the signal for the birth of
hopes at Yale that the Bulldogs might
trample their ancient Cambridge foemen
in the dust. And Yale succeeded. Her
success is a halo around the curly head
of Jones.
When Jones played football at Yale he
was a great quarter back. He was also
a member of winning elevens there and
when he returned to Yale this year he
brought the old-time confidence and fight
ing spirit back with him. Jones' system
is not unlike that of any other coach. 1t
is not an elaborate system such as that
built up by Percy Haughton at Har-
ward. but it got results Just the same.
Naturally Jones knows football. and
a lot of II. But Jones also knows how
to handle men. One Of his players said
of him:
Playing for Tad Jones. you will
ingly give him all you've got You
don't know why. You Just do it,
And this is the real secret of Yale's
comeback; her wonderful show Of fight
ing spirit; her ability to roll back the
Tiger and then to turn on her ancient
foe and win one of the greatest foot
ball games In recent years.
Yale had an eleven this year which
was looked upon as a. weak sister
when the season opened, and when
Brown beat her, Yale hopes were dark
ened. But Tad Jones urged his athletes
on to battle. and they fought like demons
for him.
Jones is now % years old He was
born in Excello, Ohio, and after finish
ing his preparatory work at Phillips
Exeter, he entered YaleI with his broth
er Howard. Baseball ability gained both
brothers a welcome at Yale. When the
two commenced playing football, Tad
showed great ability as a quarter back.
but injuries kept him out his first year,
the freshman rule not being in force
then.
Jones' accomplishments at Yale as a
football player are history: he was one
of the greatest. His experience as a
coach covers several smaller colleges in
cluding Syracuse and Exeter, and when
he received the call to return to Yale
he came back with the old bulldog spirit
plus the knowledge Of handling men.
This knowledge, essential In the extreme
to every football coach 'who gets re-
suits. has been Jones' one big asset.

NO OFFER TO CARPENTER.
Report He Was Granted FurIOugl
to Fight willard Premskure.

Paris, Dec. THE personal desire of
Georges Carpenter. the French aviator
and champion heavyweight pugilist of
Europe. is to remain with the French
flying corps at the front. a desire he has
expressed each time an offer from the
United States to arrange a bout for him
has been received. The report that he
has been given a furlough for a match
in New York with Jess Willard is at least
premature.
From the reports received here, it ap-
pears that Carpenter, by boxing in the
United States could contribute appre-
eiably to the war relief funds. and his
manager, Francois Descamps. has an
nounced that Carpenter might go there,
provided he receive permission. Thus
fRr. however. no definite proposition for
bout between Carpenter and Willard
has been received here. Miss Elizabeth
Marbury, who is prominently connected
with French war relief work in New
York. has been authorized, said Desr
camps. to act for him In any negotia-
lions In the United States.

vors making the customary football
periods contain SO many plays rather than
terminate at a given time. This attitude
is not taken because Of the declaration
that the first period Of the recent Har-

The members Of the football commit
tee at Harvard have long favored the
idea, and Fred W. Moore, Harvard 6
representative on the rules committee, is
expected to suggest such a change at the
next meeting Of the organization. Percy

heartily in favor of the scheme Such q
