AUBURN CAGERS DOWN AT WORK Three Veterans To Form The Nucleus Of
 Quintet

AUBURN, Ala, Dec. 6.-(Special) With the passing of the football sea son, basketball takes the limelight Ill the athletic manuevers on the Plans. The basket men are down to hard work already and are preparing for the season which will open immediately following the holiday season. It is thought that the floor men will take on preseason game with some team before the opening of the season proper but no definite arrangements have been completed at this time.
 The training of the team this season will be in charge of Coach Herbert Bunker Coach Hutsell, for the past three or four years, has had charge of the basketball training, but this year will give more of his attention to track and other athletic affairs.
 It will be necessary to practically rebuild the Auburn quintet this season on account of heavy losses by gradua- tion last spring. Among the outstand- ing players to play their last year with the '24 squad are Fred Hahn, captain and forward Creel, forward; Harrison,
 
 Only three letter men will reutrn for tryouts for the team this year. These are Captain Wallace Mckinney and Earl Barks. guards, and Bill Mckin- ney. forward This trio will constitute the neucleus to build around for the 9 squad. Among the most promising players to come over from the reserve team of last year are Gray, Ware, Mid gett Doughtie, and Moore. The Fresh men team of last spring are contribut- ing a sextet that promises to bolster up the teams prospects in advance of the start. These men include Dougette, Kaley, II. Mckinney, Long, Hall and Cummings.
 While the schedule is yet incomplete. has been indicated by those in charge that rather attractive schedule is in the making for the Plainsmen drib- blerS

 WALKER CAGE OUTLOOK GOOD

JASPER. Ala, Dec. 5.-(Special(- The Walker County Vikings will begin basketball practice in earnest immediate Ky after the Parrish post season football game. The material, contrary to the football outlook. is abundant.
 Big Jess Hudson, d varsity forward of last year, should prove a stellar man in the offensive part of the local quin- tet. Hudson was hurt many times in the lengthy Viking football season, but will probably be in condition before the initial cage contest is called. Silas 'Kootcy" Key. husky scrub linesman of the past season, was regular center last year and should prove valuable cog in the Viking basketeers' '24 team. Claude Shubert is a good cagester, and many other new men should add to the strength of the local basket tOssers.
 Walker will be in the state tourna- ment this winter and much is expected of the local aggregation. Coach Good win proved his worth at the pigskin game by turning bunch of green kids into smooth working eleven, and his work with the basketball team will be watched with interest.

POLO GROUNDS
 GET BIG CLASH

NEW YORK, Dee. 6.-The business managers of the New York Yankees, weary of seeing huge football crowds go rushing past their baseball parks to the polo grounds every fall, have stepped out and landed the Army-Notre Dame for 1925, taking this rich enterprise away from the polo grounds. The Army and Notre Dame will renew their pie turesque rivalry at the Yankee stadium on October 10, next year, and the own CTS of the stadium intend to build sui ficient temporary seats to bring the seating capacity for a football game up to 75,000.
 The Yank's ballyard was used for only a few games this year, and most ot them were unimportant and drew only small crowds. Believing that this tre- mendously costly property ought to earn some revenue in the fall, the own CTS recently appointed a business agent to go among the football teams which have made appointments for games in New York and persuade them to play on Babe Ruth's lot.
 Notre Dame and the Army had re- ceived offers to take the game to Chi cago, but apparently so long trip at that time of the year was out of the question for the West Pointers.

dog eleven after assuming charge was most satisfactory, it was stated. Gillem will be head football coach, working in coordination with Athletic Director Dillon. There will be no assist ant coach, as it is thought that two high-class mentors such as Gillem and Dillon will be able to handle the sltu- ation satisfactorily.
 Hood Comes To Howard
 Robin Hood, veteran Woodlawn coach, has been secured to have charge of Freshmen athletics. Hood was line star during his college days at Alabama, and since that time has made u statewide reputation as coach.
 Hood has considerable experience in coaching all three major sports, and will be in complete charge of first year athletics at Howard.
 In announcing the securing of Hood as Freshman coach, Howard athletic officials stated that they were com pletely satisfied with the work of Bob Shelton as Freshman coach during the past football season, but that a change was necessary, inasmuch as a man with a post-grad degree was desired to fill in on the faculty as we'll as serve as coach. Hood holds two degrees from Alabama, B. s., and~M. s. Years Athletic Program The athletic program for the year 1925 at Howard includes:
 Varsity basketball, with the veteran star Toby Stubbs, in charge. Freshman basketball, with Bob Shel- ton in charge.
 Spring football training, with Jenks Gillem and Athletic Director Dillon in charge.
 Varsity baseball, with Dillon in charge; Freshman baseball, with Bob Shelton in charge.
 Probable football training camp next fall, with Gillem and Dillon in charge.
 Varsity football, under Gillem and Dillon.
 Freshman football, under new Fresh man Coach, Robin Hood. Summing it up in a nutshell, after the present scholastic year at Howard, the coaching staff will be: Director, Dillon; football, Gillem and Dillon ; | basketball, Dillon; baseball, Dillon Freshman, Robin Hood. Tram Sessions, assistant coach dur Ing the past season, was offered a contract to return as line coach, it was stated. but refused the offer because of inability, to get away from his business connections. Sessions was very popular with the boys during the past season, and could have returned for another season had he so desired, it was stated.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Dec. G. Especial )-The University of Florida s powerful kicking offensive in the form of the peerless toe of Captain Ark New ton triumphed over the Washington and Lee Generals this afternoon by the score of 16 to 6. Time and again Flor ida would outpunt the Generals. w. & L., running them back within the very shadow of their goal, where they would make some miscue and the fighting Gators would recover for score.
 The game was bitterly contested, though seemingly somewhat dragged out. due to the exceedingly warm weather which greeted the arrival or both teams in the Gateway City. Both elevens fought to the last. and the Gen, erals from Virginia finally succumbed before the combined weight of the Gators and the famed Florldan weather.
 Throughout the initial quarter, the Washington and Lee backs seemed to have unusual trouble in grabbing the old pigskin, number of fumbles prov ing to be rather costly. Florida re- ceived the kickoff and Newton imme- diately punted the pigskin back into opposing territory. At every chance possibly throughout the encounter. the brilliant Gator leader punted, driving the Generals back always.
 Gators Score Early
 The Gators had two attempts at scoring in the first period, one of them resulting in a field goal for three points. The w. & l.. punter got away bad kick, the ball going bare 20 yards to their own 4O-yard line, Newton return ing 20 yards to the 20-yard line. Cap tain Newton missed an attempt at q placement score, but few minutes later on recovered tumble within the shadow of the Generals goal. He made good his second kickoff for the first score of the game. The Gators kept the ball in their opponents territory during the first quarter.
 The second period opened with the w. & l.. taking the offensive. series of line bucks end runs and Florida penalties. which eliminated with q buck over the goal line by Cameron, gave the Washington and Lee team their only score of the game. The attempt at goal was missed.
 Florida followed with another touch down when their opponents got away another bad punt Middlekauf carried the ball over, and the score stood al 10 to 6, Newton having kicked tht goal. The half ended when Newton missed an attempt from the 47-yart line at placement kick.
 Probably the third quarter might Dc termed q draw, since both elevens made pair of first down each. The period was repetition of the foregoing quar- ters. Newton bunting whenever he got q chance. Coach Nanfleet began to send in his large hosts of subs, every member of his squad playing before the final whistle blew.
 Florida Scores Again
 Florida added another touchdown ill the final period when Ark hurled the pigskin on three successive attempts to Owen Pittman for gain of some 1. yards and touchdown.

CHICAGO, Ills, Dec. 6.-Speclal)-. From combined vote of 3l2 prom, nent football coaches, officials ana sports writers, the above All-American teams have been selected. The voting and selection of the three teams was sponsored by All-Sports magazine. the picks appearing in the December issue of that publication. .,
 In announcing it's composite All American selections, All-Sports gives as its reason for employing the opinions of the 312 experts (coaches, officials and sports writers) that the broadened scope of, the game during the past sea son made it entirely impossible for any one man to select a representative All American eleven.
 Grange's Selection Unanimous
 In counting the votes there were a few outstanding features. Red Grange of Illinois was the only unanimous choice for any position. Crowley ot Notre Dame was almost unanimous choice for the other halfback job, and Hazel of Rutgers, because of his great
