The truth will prevail 'Ever since Mile. Lenglen. the French tennls D1aver. defaulted to Mrs. Mallory. tennis enthusiasts have wondered what actually ailed her
 Mile. LengIen just naturally quit when things began breaking paoly on the courts.
 Captafn Albert Joannis. who had charge of Mile. Denglen's tour, IS the authority for that statement. IL was given as a result of Mile Leng, lens charges against the Onlteu States Lawn Tennis association
 The story as given by Mile Lens- len is that the United States asso- ciation urged the Frtnch star to play when she was physically unfit and that unIind charges had been made about her because of her failure to play. =. inc French association followed such charges. Upon his retirement from the organization he gave out statement relative to Mile. Lenglen's playing or rather failure to play. It is very interesting and follows in part:
 when she started her match with Mrs. Mallory. She entered the courts confident of victory She only commenced coughing after los ing games.
 Mile. Lenglen knows how to win. but does not know how to lose gracefully. She simply preferred to quit rather than accept defeat France never quits.

Lloyd George To
 Sail For United
 States On Dec. +
IRepublican A. p. Leased WireI

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Prime Minister Lloyd George, it was learned this afternoon, is definitely planning to leave England for the United States Dec. 12, to attend the Washington conference.
 It is understood. MT. Lloyd George is planning to go to Washington in the belief that the apparent impasse in the Irish negotiations is one which time may help to solve An even- tuality which might conceivably of- fer greater obstacles to the premier's s early trip Is the necessity for France and Great Britain to formulatee a clearer and more united policy re- garding German separations.
 Government officials pointed out that neither Ulster nor Sim Fein were likely to be willing to take the consequences should MT. Lloyd George be prevented from being ence on their account.
 The reported plans of the British delegates attending the Washington conference to go to New York Mon day are interpreted as indicating their reluctance to make final the decisions, so far tentatively reached in Washington because of the pos sibility of MT. Lloyd Georges partiCi- pating. There was an impression in official circles today that the confer ! ence proceedings were being "sOf1 ! pedaled' upon the receipt of wore 1 from London that the premier mighi | soon join in the deliberations.

OMAHA, Dec. 3. - F. H. Shoe maker, of New London, Wis, was named defendant in a $100.000 suit filed in state district court today by William Ritchie, Jr.. state com mander of the Nebraska department of the legion. MT. Ritchie charges that Shoemaker at a recent labor meeting made false statements con- corning the legion.
 The action against MT. Shoemaker charged that among the statements he made were assertions that the legion was subsidized by ''big inter- ests," and that 1t was opposed to or ganized labor, 1t charged. MT. Ritchie said he obtained approval of the court action by long distance tel ephone from the legion national com mander who was in San Francisco with Marshal Foch of France today. He declared the legion did not care about recovering damages but watt ed to prove at a hearing that tlNs legion was not opposed to organized labor.
 The action against MT. Shoemaker came about the same time that a jury in feGsral court disagreed and was discharged in his $5O,000 suit against Harrington. Neb, citizens whom he charged with using tar and feathers on him after he had delivered a Non- Partisan league address,

Germany Proposes Russ Consortiur11
 To Pay Her Debts
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS. Dec. 8. - Germany's latest plan for meeting her separations ob- legations includes formation of 8 consortium for economic exploitation in Russia to be participated in by Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States, according to an article published today by the Jour nal des Debats. The newspaper de- clares this is the plan on which Hugo Shines. German industrial magnate, and former German Min ister of Reconstruction Rathenau have been negotiating in London.
 AS outlined by the Journal des De- bats, the plan includes these stipu- lations:
 The United States, England and France would supply Germany with capital necessary to transport raw materials sufficient to assist a Ger man monopoly in supplying Russia with manufactured products The Russian industries would be restrict ed to the production of raw materials | sufficient to repay Germany for the manufactured products transported 1 into Russia. Profits thus realized i from Germany's exploitation in Rus | bers of the consortium to insure the 1 payment of Germany's far repara- | tions. Meanwhile, Germany would be 1 allowed to benefit by a moratorium ] permitting a. test of the above plan

against Harvard. He was even more brilliant in that battle.
 Here is the comment of one of the best known football critics in the east on the worth of Aldrich.
 .Aldrich is the greatest backfield man of all time except Ned Mahan. That statement includes 30 years of observation. He is greater than Coy, Thorpe, Barrett, Oliphant, Thorne, Osgood. ETeekes. Eckersall, Steven son, Casey, Davies, Butterworth, Killinger and Hollenback."
 That is certainly some praise, con- ing from an expert who has been looking over eastern football for 30 years. However, on shat Aldrich showed me in the Yale Princeton game, I would say 1t was justified.
 Aldrich is not only football star, but equally great at baseball. It is said a half dozen major league clubs have already bid for his services B. E.

Kiley

McMillin is as good on the offensive.
 Only the great work of Captain Aldrich of Yale caused me to shift my plans. Aldrich has been the leading halfback of the east. He is a most remarkable player. and there Is really no way of keeping him off the team. That fact alone caused me to shift McAIillin to my second team
 Fuilback
 Some critics might have objected to the use of three quarterbacks in the backfield. In order to have had some authority for such a radical change, I discussed the possibility with Coach Rockne of Notre Dame, one of the greatest football mentors. Here Is how he viewed the sugges- tion:

By Billy Evans

Very often in any form of com petition, a player who richly deserves praise for his part in some play. is entirely overlooked.
 This is particularly true in foot ball. In the gridiron game the spec tators have eyes for only the player who happens to be carrying the ball. If it Is a kick or punt, only the player who actually does the kicking comes in for consideration
 Tn football an attack that lacked a detense wouldn't get very far The f1eet-footed- runner chosen to carry the ball wouldn't make much head way unless his line held, and he re- ceived proper interference from his backs. In football the defensive back is the main cog in the machine Yet the defensive back. because he fs either forming interference or direct iy putting some opponent out of the play, rarely attracts much attention from the spectators.
 Applies in Baseball
 What holds good in football, often applies equally wall to baseball. How ever in a great many cases a player receives much credit for doing some thing he really didn't intend to. And often when he pulls a brainy play that fails, he is banned because he was unable to successfully execute 1t, rather than being praised for the attempt he made.
 The 1921 world series offered fine example of the theory that am try ing to prove. praise is not always properly distributed. In the first game of the series. Mike McNally made a brilliant steal of home. It | was beautiful play, in which he l got the break. timed the pitch per ! fectly. and then avoided the touch by ! a skillful slide. McNally was lauded | for his fine effort and deservedly so ! The following day. Bob Meusel alsc

 was not a brain play that was per fectly executed. Rather he got away | with 1t because Catcher Smith put or the boxing gloves and cuffed the bal all over the field instead of making { ! play on MeuseL
 Now for the peculiar part of thu 1 play Bob Meusel never had tn l slightest intention of getting ava, 1 with the steal of home. which wol

MAKING IT PLAIN

The Tournament of Roses Football Committee picked Washington and Jefferson college to play California in the big game at Pasadena with three teams rating higher in eastern foot ball than w and J.
 Eastern critics rate Cornell, Penn State and the Navy superior to w. and J., but the Navy was out of con- sideration as an inter sectional con tender. W. and J. went through the season without suffering defeat, but they did not play the real class ot the east.
 California swamped the University of Washington eleven under a 72-3 score, and the best Penn State could do was defeat Washington 21 to z.
 With Penn State rated one of the two best eastern teams and Wash ington and Jefferson rated third Call ifornia's wonder team looked good for the Pasadena game.
 Perhaps the Tournament of Roses Committee will come out with their reasons for issuing the W. and J. in vitation, but until that time football fans will be skeptical, especially with Penn State playing in the northwest

logical thing to do. since both of these men are such wonderful per formers, that it would be unfair to leave them out. In modern football there is very little difference between a halfback and quarterback"
 At fullback I have placed Owen of Harvard. Owen is the best of the year at that position. He can punt, drop kick. throw the forward pass, and is one of the best line crackers in the history of the game. He is the ideal type modern back.
 Ends
 Macomber of Harvard Is the best end in the east and wins one of the positions. I was tempted to place Anderson and Riley of Notre Dame at the ends, but Macomber is so good he cannot be overlooked
 There is very little to choose be- tween Anderson and Riley. The lat ter showed. to the best advantage in

the east and to my way of thinking has a slight edge. He is wonder at picking a forward pass out of the air. Coach Roche of Notre Dame says of his two men: T really have no choice between the two. l regard them as the two best ends in the country. The fact that Anderson was a wonderful captain, might cause me to select him, if was picking team"
 Tackles

Eastern critics are of the opinion that the football world really has no idea of what great player Captain Aldrich of Yale really is.
 I watched the work of Aldrich closely in the Yale-Princeton game, and marveled at his great work. While not a husky player, Aldrich seems able to do all the things Q bigger man can do, and stand up under the strain.
 He is fleet of foot. Picks his spots with excellent judgment. Can hit the line almost as well as he can skirt the ends. He can throw or receive a forward pass. He is a fine drop kicker, also punter. He showed this in the Princeton game by contrib uting two beautiful field goals from drop kicks. Those six points were Yale's margin of victory.
 In the Princeton game, Aldrich played remarkable football. I am sorry didn't get a chance to see him

leading officials. says of Keck: \ have seen most of the good one, this year, and Neck is unquestionably the best in these parts. No tackle in the game plays the position more intelligently, and is able to back it up with equal physical power and
 courage" Guards
 Brown of Harvard stands out as the best guard. He was at his best in the big games. and was a real factor in Harvard's win over Yale. His work in the line in that game was unsurpassed. Carney of An napolis gets the other guard
 Center
 Stein of Pittsburg continues to be the very best center in the game. He is big. yet very fast, a fine man on defense, and wonder on of fense. He is all over the field and gets more tackles than any other man on his team.

and Centre college playing at San Diego.
 While eastern experts differ 8 triffle on the rating of the college football teams in that section of the country, a consensus makes them line up about as follows:
 1. Cornell and Penn State.
 2. The Navy.
 3. Washington and Jefferson.
 4. Yale.
 5. Harvard.
 6. Princeton.
 z. Pittsburg.
 s. The Army.
 g. Dartmouth.
 Lafayette had a remarkable team that went through the season unde- feated. However it seems the east ern experts ale of the opinion that Lafayette didn't hew strictly to the amateur standing that college ath- letes are supposed to have. For that reason few of the experts have given Lafayette much consideration in their ratings. If the charges that have been made l against Lafayette are untrue it is 1 certainly up to the director of ath- ] letics at that institution to open up.

MeMillin's great ability is too we'll known to need much comment. He is the best defensive quarterback in the game. A hard tackler and player who seems to sense the plays, and always is in the proper spot.
 Halfback
 My first thought was to place De- vine at quarter and use Killinger at one half and McMillin at the other. In modern football there is only a very slight difference between the quarterback and halfback position.
 The combination would have given me great quarterback in De- vine. Since Killinger had always played halfback until this year, he would be perfectly at home That would have given me the greatest running back of the year. McMiHin, who is rated as the best defensive quarter. would have supplied me with a fine defensive back. In addition

Picking. an all-American football team is purely matter of personal opinion.
 Often there are three of four play CTS so nearly equal that 1t Is prac- tically impossible to determine which player Is the best.
 Some striking qualifications of a certain player may cause great many to pick him. On the other hand another player may appeal just as strongly to as many others, for some feature of play at which he is most proficient.
 In selecting an all-American team for 1921, the most difficult thing for me was to reach a decision between Killinger of Penn State, Devine of Iowa and McMillin of Centre for the position of quarterback.

 Quarterback
 Devine of Iowa stands out as one of the greatest players the game has ever produced, east or west.
 Coach Howard Jones of Iowa, the former Yale star, says of Devine: T would be willing to go back 20 years on any all-America team and place Devine at quarter" That is certainly some praise.
 Coach Williamson of Minnesota says: .Devine is the greatest quar- terback the west has ever produced. He rates higher than either Johnny McGovern or Walter Eckersall." More praise.
 Killinger is Unquestionably the cream of the east, the greatest run ming back of the year. He has been the high noise in the remarkable suc- cess of Penn State.
