There was time when the now

Of himself in his own proper way
and during that time the gentleman
from Michigan and others who have
seen fit from time to time to hurl
at this dcfcnsclcss head these insinua-

dared to use such language.
There are those now who gather
about him to view his misfortune
with satisfaction, to hurl their de-

ton, which goes now to the Senate,
would be passed speedily and sent

Coach Stillwell is hard at work with the Crimson cagemen in an at tempt to turn out another state championship claimant for Central. He has hard work in front of him, as only four letter men of last years undefeated squad have returned foi another years service under the Central colors.
 There is only one man. however. who was regular at the end of last seasons play. Harry Holder was the only regular at the end of last sea son who has returned. This lad however. is one of the best sticking guards in prep circles and will give forwards plenty of trouble before the curtain Is rung on this seasons play.
 Young and Mills saw plenty of service last year at the guard posi- tions, but they are both being tried at the forward berth this year, and stand a good chance to make these places. If they fail here. they will be shifted back to help in the de- fense.
 Cy Anderson. sub center last year. will draw the regular pivot post this season, as he is playing the ball he is capable of and is not the slow, in- different player of last season.
 The recruits are showing up we'll but the above seem to have the in- side track at present Jaffe. sub for the past two years, is lad who Is pushing the forwards close for ulace on the varsity, while Sandford looks like a star at the guard post.

Educators Opposed to Sports Championships

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 2o.-(By Coll yer's News Bureau)-The suggestion that the large universities should arrange their football schedules to hermit the annual determination of a national championship does not meet with the approval of the leading educators of the country. In letters 10 Bert E. Collyer, who made the sus- restiou in behalf of the general sports public. the college authorities take the position that the striving for championship would interfere with the educational work of the schools. Following are the opinions of some of the most noted educators:
 What They Think
 President A. A. Murphee. University of Florida: There is danger of com mercialism through increased interest of the sporting world In ccllese ath- letics."
 President David Kinley, University of Illinois: We must all remember that colleges and universities are established for educational purposes, and not as arenas for public enter tainments."
 University of Chicago: The cham pionship is of wholly secondary im- portance in which we take little in-' terest. This is a point in which these college games are entirely different from the professional baseball games"
 Dean E. S. Keene, North Dakota Agricultural college: "No one has vet shown that a national collegiate athletic championship is desired. Most westerners believe that the middle west would easily defeat the east. but what if 1t could? Iquestion that an established championship would benefit education"

COACH STILLWELLI PICKS ALL-STARI CLASS GRID TEAM

af '
 Coach StillweH of Central High school has picked an all-star team for the class football at the local high school this season. Class foot ball has become an annual sport at Central, and yearly varsity material is developed in this intra- mural branch of athletics
 In making his pick from the 1922 class football season, and giving 1t to The Age Herald, Coach Stillwell said:
 Glass football is of such short du- ration, and so few games are played, that it is impossible to select the best timber for an all-star team. How ever, judging from what games 1 saw, and the performances of the various players in those games. I would say that the following combi- nation line up as best"

 Seven Juniors and four Seniors won places on Coach Stillwells all- star team. There were no Freshmen or Sophomores who showed enough brilliance for all-star ranking. due, no doubt. to lack of experience in the grid game.
 This years class football was unusually successful. and Coach Stillwell smiled complacently when it was suggested that his material for next year didn't look SO very bad,

 University of Georgia students want Stegeman to remain as head coach of the Bulldogs. In resolu- tions presented to the athletic com mittee at Georgia, friends and stu dents express their belief that dis
 gruntled gamblers have spread the propaganda that caused Stegeman's resignation.
 And thus it would seem that the
 same element that almost proved fla tai to big league baseball is enter ing the great college sport--tamper- ing of gamblers with football.
 If there are any grounds for the belief expressed by the Georgians in
 their resolution, Dixie college athletic officials would do well to take steps to kill that evil before it gains the least foothold whatever in the game
