THIRD ALL-AMERICA

of position, although he previously has not been on Camps first eleven. He is at guard on the 1924 list but his regular post is center.
 Six Captains
 Six captains are included in the first team. Besides Horrell and Garbich, Berry of Lafayette, ends; E. Weir of Nebraska, tackle, and Walter Koppisch, three times Columbia leader and back field star, the first Columbia player to gain a place on the first team since 1903.
 Camps choices vary radically with the opinions of numerous other gridiron critics whose all-star selections already have been published. He selects Bjork- men and Berry, two customers, for first string ends, whereas a majority of eastern critics rated this pair below Luman of Yale, who is not mentioned at all by Camp, and Mahaney of Holy Gross, who is placed on the third team.
 Slaughter of Michigan, placed at guard, also was overlooked in most pub hshed selections, while Diehl of Dart mouth and Farwick of West Point, gen. erally chosen by other critics as all eastern guards, find no place in Camps array.
 ROckmen Fare Poorly
 Notre Dame, despite its recognition as the country's outstanding eleven, fares poorly in the selections. Harry Stuhldreher, field marshal of the fa- nous -Four Horsemen," as the Notre Dame backfield was known, was the only Hoosier on the first team. One of his running mates, Jimmy Crowley. is on the second outfit, while Adam Walsh, captain and widely selected as first all- American center by others, is on the third combination. Elmer Layden, NOtre Dame fullback and also chosen for first honors in other quarters, is not mentioned.
 Harold Shidler, University of Wash ington back, who led the Pacific coast scorers, and Henie Benkert, Rutgers star, who topped the eastern scoring array, also are unmentioned in the Camp list.

 For. Grid Player

TUSCON, Ariz., Dec. 29.---A foot
 ball player must have certain
 important characteristics be- fore training will do him much good in the opinion of Knute Rockne, chief mentor of the Notre Dame football team, conditioning here for their New Years game with Stanford univer- sity.
 These qualities are brains, determi- nation, unselfishness, muscular con trol and coordination, courage, speed fair mental poise, he stated, emphasiz- ing the need of speed for the modern game of football.
 The Notre Dame men will not be in best of condition, Rockne said, when they enter the important New Years game. At home, he faced snow and cold weather that kept the men from the proper training and at New Or leans and Houston rains were en- countered, so that the practicing had to be considerably lessened.
 This afternoon the men turned out on the University of Arizona field for a workout.

lRY Associated Press !


 NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The 1924 all-American football eleven picked by Walter Camp,-dean of gridiron author ities,-is notable chiefly for the se- /lection of no more than one star from any eleven in the country and it's fail ure to place on the first team any representative of the Big Three Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
 The casts famous triumvirate, an- cient strongholds of the game, is ignored on the first team for the first time in the 35 years. Camps selections have been made and regarded annually as the barometer by which all other mythical combinations are judged. It marks, too, a climax in the wide spread develop ment of playing standards since 1889 and 1890, when Camp picked his first two all-American teams entirely from the squads of the Big Three" then dominant in the game, but now forced to yield their ancient supremacy to other and ever-increasing rivals.
 No Harvard Mention
 Harvard is not represented at all fin Camps selections for the first time, the Crimon failing to place a man on either the second or third teams which he also picks. Previously, Harvard had failed ony in the war year of 1918 to have an entry on the first eleven. Yale, although it finished its second straight season without defeat and captured the Big Three crown once more, is recognized only on the second team, which Captain LOvejOy at center and Ducky Pond in the back field. Princeton is on an even basis fin this respect, the Tigers having Beattle at guard and Slagle at quarterback on the second string combination.
 Geographically, the 1924 selections are well distributed for on the first team, the east has six representatives, the middle west four and the far west one. Among the B stars included in the three combinations, the east leads with 16, the middle west has 10, the far west 6 and the south one.
 Three Duplicate
 Three players are recognized on the first team for the second time. They are Harold (Red) Grange, famous Illinois back and outstanding individ- ual star of the year; Ed Garbisch, Army center, who returns to the post he held in 1922; and Homer Hazel, Rutgers, who was picked as an end in 1923 and fullback this season.
 Hazel's shift from the line to the backfield has few parallels. Back in 1901, Bunker of West Point was chosen as a tackle and the following year he gained a place as half back. Walter Eckersall of Chicago was an end on the 1904 eleven but shifted to quarterback, where he gained his great est fame in 1905 and 1906, Horrell of California, also is out.

DEPENDS FOOTBALL

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Defending modern football, its aims and effects Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics in the Western conference, in q speech today, hit back at three classes of the games critics which he labelled as "feminists, destructionists and educational communists"
 Major Griffith's remarks before the annual meeting of the Football Coaches Association of America were intended as sn answer upon recent attacks upon the growing importance of football in in- tercollegiate life. Among the most recent outspoken critics was Dean Angel of the University of Michigan, who asserted football was diverting too much atten- tion from the fundamental pursuits of university training.

GOOD WORK, CHIEF
Chicago Evening Post)

The rounding up of the O'Bannon-Tor-
rio alleged beer-running gang under plans
made by Chief Collins and Deputy Super
intendent thinner is bit of good work
which has needed doing for many weeks.
1t IS an instance in which the well-or-
ganzed vigilance of the suspected law
breakers was brought to nothing by the
loyalty and efficiency Of the law enforcers
We are SO familiar with the failure due to
informers, to treacherous leaks and like
causes that congratulations are due when
SO striking a success marks an obviously
honest effort.
1t is such well-contrived and faithfully
executed raids as this that must, in the
long run, result in breaking up the con-
spiracy to defy the law Concentration
upon the more powerful and daring in the
business of beer-running, and the arrest
and conviction of the men who have be-
come .affluent leaders in the business of
driving trucks through the Eighteenth
Amendment will have strong deterrent
effect upon the minor offenders. Many of
them it will put out of business for lack
of supply.
Chief Collins says he is tired of merely
watching breweries. He is going after
them until there are no more beer runners
and no more beer to run. II is a big un-
dertalling, but not too big for the chief,
and its accomplishment will do mitch to
make Chicago safer city for decent citi-
zcnss'land to bring credit to his department
and the administration which appointed
him. Go to it, Chief, and good luck to
you. May the courts stand behind you
and make your efforts thoroughly enec-
tive.

Especial from the Legislative Department
Anti-Saloon League Washington, D. G.
Very few OF tie state legislatures meet
in 1924. The legislatures of twelve states,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland.
Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey,
New Mexico New York, Rhode Island.
South Carolina and Virginia, are sched-
ulcd to meet this year. All except Geor-
gia and Louisiana met in January. The
Louisiana session begins in May and has
not been concluded. The Georgia session
Goes not meet until June Reports re-
eeived from the states where the legisla-
tures have completed their work indicate
that in several of them legislation has
Leen enacted Strengthening the provisions
{, the prohibitory law. In none of the
states has any weakening legislation been
adopted. In number OF the states vet
measures have been defeated This is
very significant, in view of the representa-
tons by the proponents of the beer bills
before Congress to the effect that there is
reaction against prohibition and that the
people are demanding a modification of the
law in order to permit the sale of 2.75 per
cent beer. This recent action of the state
legislatures refutes this claim.
4 comparison Of the state laws relating
TO the sale of malt liquors disclosed that
twenty states prohibit the sale of enumer-
atcd liquors such as beer, near beer, etc,
OF liquors containing any alcohol, while
sixteen states prohibit the sale of malt
LIQUORS containing one-half of one per cent
q more OF alcohol by volume Six states
have adopted the definition in the federal
lzW by reference and two states have
oac per cent standard As long as more
dian tircc-fourths of the tastes prohibit
by state law the sale OF liquors containing
one-half OF one per cent or less OF alcohol
by volume Congress can not consistently
change the definition OF Intoxicating liu-l
uors contained in the Nolstead act SO that
it would conflict with the laws of the
states. The action of the legislatures
which have met this year does not indi-
cate that the vets are making any prog
ress in securing changes in the definition
Of Intoxicating liquors in the state codes.
