ATHLETIC WORLD DALL-AMERICAN
THIRD ELEVEN

1 On one Saturday last November 150 football games were played. Since each of the contesting teams would average about 30 men in its squad. ! that means something more than i 5000 college men playing football regularly. This furnishes a taint idea ot the great field Of contestants from which the Athletic World All-Amer- ica team Of 1928 has been taken.
 The standard of football players this year has been unusually high. So many men of exceptional value gre available that the selection of the ! first team is only slightly superior to that of the second and third elerens.
 The striking feature of the 1923 season was the dearth of good ends. something very rare for any season. There was an abundance of material for the line and tho backfield posi- tions. but there were no outstanding flank performers.
 Even the coaches arc al loss to explain the situation, but claim it is simply one of those football condi- tions which arise SO frequently.
 In the selection Of the 1928 eleven. aftcr all the votes were in. 1t was found that five men were from the cast and six from the west. How ever. in some cases the count was So close that only few votes separated the successful first team from the second.
 McRan Of Syracuse led tho ends in the vote of tho coaches by fairly comfortable margin, nhile Eklund of Minnesota was second.
 Tho selection of Milstcad for one Of the tackles was almost unanimous. The other tackle position was a toss Gp between Below Of Wisconsin and Sundstrom Of Cornell until the last minute, Competition was so koen that Below won tho decision by one vote,
 The two guards selected. Mcalillen of Illinois and Hubbard of Harvard. had q substantial lead over their closest competitors, Wclch or Colgate and Bedrnk Of Penn State.
 Blott of Michigan, the best pivot man developed in the west in the last few years. is first choice for center. with Garbisch Of tho Army a close second. Both are rowing ccntcrs and adept at licAing field goals.
 Pfann of Cornell Is almost the unanimous choice for the quarter back position. He received more votes than any other player elected on this years eleven. not excepting Milstead Of Yale who was well liked by the coaches.
 Pfann is four-threat man. He can run. kick. forward pass and re-

EDDIE FOSTER WAS
 MODEL ID FOLLOW
Good Player, Square Friend and 1 Never Offered AGbi

Eddie Foster one of the finest characters that has ever graced the major leagues, has passed out of the big show. The St. Louis Browns re- gently announced his unconditional release. Umpiring would be an easy task if every club was composed of nine Eddie Fosters. Would there were more like him. the game would be the better for it.
 Real sport depends upon fair play, It is the basic fundamental Fair play was Eddie Fosters first name. Any success that he has attained in base ball was fairly won.
 Empires in the American league can recal scores Of happenings on the ball field in which the honesty and fairness of Foster has come to the rescue Of an official in dire distress. Foster never in his life made a strenuous protest. When he believed the umpire had erred, he told him so in a polite yet positive manner. His words always convinced tho umpire that Foster was certain a mistake had been made. However Foster was equally fair when 1t semed to the fans that tho umpire had pulled one, whereas the fault lie with tho player.
 The old alibi had no place in Eos. ter's makeup. Any number of times he has gotten an umpire out of a tough fs,.f1 I.s f.F1 1,fr had missed tho runner, when some player with n tallaway slide had got ten away, even though Foster had the ball waiting for him.
 
 However, nothing that Foster did during his long and honorable career in the game is more interesting than his keeping Of the secret that for several years enable Russell Ford 10 be the pitching sensation Of the Amer ican league. Ford was the first pitcher 10 use the emery ball. He kept a piece Of emery paper tied to a string and concealed in the sleeve of rcd under shirt that he affected on the field. When pitching he would fit the emery paper into tho hole in the palm Of his glove. By roughening the ball on the paper he could make it take all kinds Of peculiar twists. Ford was credited with being a great spitball pitcher. The secret of t'ord's success was known only to his catcher, Eddie Sweeney and Foster.
 When Ford was at the top of his game Foster was released by New York 10 the Washington club. No doubt Ford and Sweeny believed the l secret would soon become league gossip. If so, they didn't know Foster. ]
 
 Shortly after Foster joined Wash | ington, he faced Ford and struck out ! three times. Foster was just breaking i into themaiors at the time, trying 10 i make good. and his sorry showing i against Ford didn't help his cause. 1 Those three strkeouts would have | been enough for many a player to 1 havetold the truth to the heavens. l However, Foster, in confidence had been told how Ford vas making the ball act up and he was loyal to that 1, confidence. For three years. while ! Ford was going big guns, Eddie Fos- ter, on another team. with fuIf 1 knowledge or the secret Of Ford's suc- cess, kept his peace.
 
 Eddie Poster knows baseball He1 has been a credit 10 the game. True. l he has slowed up a bit for the big i show, yet he should make a good | manager for q club looking for ball | player and a gentleman.
