FOlWeU Plans 10 HdDe
 AL UAmericQn Team Play

Philadelphia, December 23.-Bob Folwell Penn's head coach, is willing to match his 1917 football machine against the all- American and he has thought of a process that will enable the first all-American game to be played, and vs. Old Penn, too.
 Folwell plans to have the sporting edi- tors in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and possibly Chicago choose their teams. The names will all be gone over and a concensus eleven selected This will give a true all-American team, and the men who rafsll second high in the total vote will be made substitutes. This clan may be brought to Franklin field and quar- tered at the training camp of the Red and Blue for a week during which they can train and get their signal drill going smoothly.
 Every player who makes this eleven will be given, according to the present plans, a gold football, with the color of his college indicated. his name, position, weight, age and heighth at the time he played. The receipts will be divided be- tween Penn and the colleges sending a player or players to the great match.

I dicate the passing of Hyatt. Present plans are for J. Hamilton to cover the dexter pasture, as he did last season. Local fans sincerely hope that Doc is coming back to his first love and his na- tive burg to perform. His stick work, fielding and base running ability will ma terially strengthen the Elfeldian machine. Doc, as all will recall, began his profess sional career as a member of Chattanoo- gas 1909 Sally league team. He returned here in 1910, when Chattanooga entered the Southern league, and was traded the next season to New Orleans for Jim La f1tte. From New Orleans Doc went to Cleveland and from Cleveland to Pitts burg. He was sent by the Pirates to Bir- mingham because it was believed that Hans Wagner would want the first base job al Pittsburg in 1917. Now it is an nounced that the Dutchman's legs are too weak to allow him to play at any po- sition regularly, and Pittsburg wishes she had Doc back
 The Chattanooga Times makes the fol- lowing comment
 Talk of trade where Doc Johnston, the local boy, who is now the property of the Birmingham Barons, may become Look out has been heard in some quarters, chiefly of Birmingham origin. The off cials of the Lookouts would like to have Doc on tho roster, but have as yet made no offer for him. In fact, the gossip preceded any idea whatever on the part of Elberfeld that Doc might be secured. There is no doubt that Doc would strengthen the Lookouts and would be great drawing card at his home gate. Ham Hyatt could be shifted to right field if Doc joined the club"

Rumors are again in the air. This time another sale in which Birmingham Is im- plicated is about to be pulled off. Chatta- nooga papers say that Doc Johnston, the first sacler secured by the Barons from the Pittsburg Pirates, will be traded or sold to the Lookouts.
 The Chattanooga News says:
 ''Joe Harris successor next season may mot be J. Hamilton Hyatt after all. From sources which are perfectly reliable, but which cannot be divulged, it has been learned that the athlete who will guard the portal of the Lookout infield in 1917 will be the selfsame individual who held down this task on the only Chattanooga team that ever won a pennant.

Frank NeiU Makes Great
 Sh0Wlng In His Punti11q

Frank Neill, the sensational kicker of the Birmingham college football team for the past year, made a high bid for the eountry's highest honors, according to statistics by Parke H. Davis, in a recent review of the 1916 football season. An other southern player, Adolph Hatcher Of Tennessee, won the honors, however, for averaging the greatest in any one game.
 Hatcher averaged 57 yards in the Ten nessee-Florida game. He got off 12 punts, the longest one going for eight yards, the record for the season for the entire country.
 w. K. Close of W. & M against Rich mond averaged 55 yards. His longest punt was for T yards. He punted seven times. Carl Bowman of Vermont against Nor wich tied Clsse with the same average. His longest punt was for 63 yards. He punted seven times also.
 Neill is tied with the above two. His longest punt in the Marion game, which Birmingham won to $, was 70 yards. He punted but four times, averaging 55 yards.
 E. M. Randolph of Randolph Macon av- eraged 53 yards Walter Hess of Indiana averaged 51 yards, ana Fritz Shiverick averaged AZ yards, completing the list of long averages.
 That Neill obtained such a high ranking is great honor. It shows that he Is one of the greatest punters in the south. It is hoped the Scotchman will cast his lot with either Alabama or Auburn next year in place of fighting for team outside the state should he attend some high in- stitute other than Birmingham college.

BleQchers WiU NeDer
 Be Abolished In Dirie

Nashville, December 23.-The bleachers are in Dixie to stay. The sungods Of President Baugh's organization who have been perturbed lest their habitats be re- moved can rest easy, for the bleachers will be in the Southern league just as long the the league operates.
 Up in the majors plan is on foot to completely eliminate the bleacher seats on account of the increased cost of base ball, the 50-cent seats being too small in price for the mags to derive any bene- fit So President Charles H. Ebbets of the Brooklyn Superbas Is among those considerably, with the result that those who would get in on the ground floor have to be there early.
 But in the Southern league there is no chance to ever eliminate the bleachers, and for two bits any and all games can be seen at any time. The Dixie moguls stood as a unit against abolishing the bleachers at the recent meeting held in Nashville, and the sun seats will all ways be in evidence just as long as there is ball park.
 Twenty-Five cents is sufficient money to pay out to see ball game from the sun seats, for they are uncomfortable at best, being hot and hard, saying noth- ing of the company one often encounters in the bleachers.

EVERETT STRUPPER MAY GO ID HARVARD FOR NEXT SEASON Crimson Wants Tech Star. Could Play Two Years on GridirOns of
 the East

From this good moment until the clans reassemble at Grant field next year, Tech supporters are going to be doing some tall politicking down around Columbus, Ga, where abides Everett Strupper, the athlete regarded by football authorities as the most brilliant backfield man that the southern section has ever produced, says the Atlanta Georgian.
 For it developed the other night that Strupper's relatives are all wrapped up in having him finish his football career in the effete cast under the tutelaSe Of Percy Haughton, whose name sounds et- fete if he isn't. And you can bet your hopes of plum pudding for dessert next Monday that Tech isn't going to give up Strupper without a struggle and you can het that Strupper isn't going to give up Tech without scrap.
 Here is the condition as nearly as we can grab it. Strupper's uncle, MT. Me- Gehee of Columbus, is an old Harvard man and as loyal an alumnus as the Cam bridge crowd boasts. He is naturally entirely proud of his talented nephew.
 MT. McGehee keep in close touch with athletic affairs at Harvard and It IS more than barely possible that he has mentioned his talented nephew there in athletic counsels It is still more than barely possible that when the Harvard people heard that this talented nephew was none other than the famous Strup- per of Tech they appealed to MT. Me Gehee's patriotism to see that his nephew wasted no more time in the sunny south, but hurried to Harvard
 Now Strupper has played two years of southern football and it Is pointed out that he can get no more fame down here than he has already won. while vir- g;r fiald awaits him in the east, where he can still play two more years If he doesn't engage in southern football this coming season.
 Wherefore the effort is being made to have "Strup'' enter Harvard next fall. spend year, becoming athletically eligi- ble and then going out for the squad to become nationally famous.

SOUTHERN ADOPTED
 EARNED-RUN SYSIEM AT REGENT MEETING
Pitchers Will No Longer Be Rated by Games Won and Lost Southern Follows Example of Both Major Circuits
 in Adopting Up-toDate System

Official scorers in the Southern associa- ton have had another worry added to the list. Next season they must keep pitchers records according to the earned run method instead of by games won and lost, as has been the rule in the past. The owners ordered this change at their meeting in Nashville last week.
 In adopting this new method the Southern league falls in line with the majors, who have been figuring pitching averages on the earned-run basis for sev- eral years. Blinky Horn, sporting editor of the Nashville Tennessean, is said to have influenced the action of the mag mates. The Hon. Blink may or may not be an official scorer, and official scorers may or may not feel grateful toward him, but they probably will agree that the new system is the fairer and will be more than willing to cooperate to demonstrate
