A S IN boxing, so it is in many

Here in America We make a
great to-do over some foreign
artist, actor. author, musician,
when we have greater talent at
home which goes unnoticed.
Our Americans go abroad and
come back prattliHg Of the won

travel 5000 miles just to see

TT is not our intent to wave the
L old flag, but let US be for
Americans once in awhile.
Foreign boxers come over here
and grow fat financially. Our
boxers go to France, England,
Australia and starve on the

1t is at this ratio that the for

WALTER CAMP now selects
w his All-American football
teams with great territorial dis
cretion. In his latest he covers
North, South, East, West. No
section of the country can grum-
BILE about discrimination.
In other years Mr.. Camps
All-Americans centered about
Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
Mr.. Camp has since discovered
that football is played elsewhere.
A wise man is always open to
conviction. Mr.. Camp proves
his wisdom by broadening the
scope of his selections.
IBID we consider Mr.. Camps
~ selections of any more i'm
portance than the selections of
any other well-balanced football
expert. we might seek a quarrel
with him.
Our quarrel would be on his
failure to place George Owen,
of Harvard, on his first eleven.
Owen, on accomplishment, IS
one of the greatest football
players of the past ten years.
This is not an opinion. 1t Is
q fact. You cannot go behind
accomplishment.

w Camps selection of Hub

Everyone likes to have some
one else confirm their personal
opinions. We have long thought
Hubbard a great football
player.
Watching the Harvard team
through the glasses in differ
ent games, it struck US that
Hubbard was somehow always
in every play. The announcers,
who notify the newspaper men
high up in the press stand of
the details of maneuver,
never mentioned the name of
Hubbard.
Hubbard, in manner of
speaking, was the silent mem
Der of the successful firm, do

partners got the advertising.
We were afraid no one else
was watching Hubbard.
