NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec "a N)-

In the makeup of Camps "a teams,
Is names are found that also arc
included in the most complete avail
able list of college coaches for the
season just ended. From the stand
point of their All American selections
these coaches include two ends, a
tackle, a guard and a center from the
line and four quarterbacks, three
halfbacks and two fullbacks, one of
the latter, however, having been
named also as an end
Most At Different. Schools
Excepting Dartmouth, represented
by two of it's ~ All-American selec-
tions, and Yale, with two OF. its SS
selections on the list, each coach
represents a different school.
Harvard with ~ and Pennsylvania
with 38 have a single representative
while Princeton with SIS All-American
selections, is not represented. Eight
coaches come from Eastern schools,
five from Big Ten territory and TWO
from states on the borderland be-
tween north and south.
Eleven teams of the nineteenth
century are represented by one coach
only, A "A. Stagg. He was named
an end on Camps first mythical
choice of 1899, being one of the four
Yale men honored that year. With
him on that first team was Heffel-
finger of lineman tradition and the
forst of the Poes, both from Prince
ton.
Ralph Glaze, Dartmouth, named an
All-American end in 1905, is coach
of athletic teams at st. Viators col
lege, in Illinois. Glaze, like Stagg,
was a great baseball player and
pitched in the big leagues several
years before devoting all his time to
college athletics.
Many Coaching QuarterbackS
Coaching quarterbacks of All
American teams begin with T. A. d.
Jones, Yale, in 1907, and also include
Walter Steffen. Chicago, named in
1908. Almost continuously since then
Steffen has coached Carnegie Tech.
For ten months of the year Steffens
is judge of Chicago's superior
court.
Next among the quarterbacks is
Alvin "Bo' McMiilin colorful both
as a player and as coach He
was named All-American in 1919 and
this year coached Geneva. Another
quarterback coach with legal leanings
is Gordon Locke, named in 1922,
who combines the practice of law
in Cleveland with coaching Western

Notre Danes -four horseman" fame,
is now coach of Villanova.
Percy Wendell, Harvard, one of

on today's coaching lists, being the

TOPICS AND TROPICS.

TOPICS AND TROPICS.
When through the towering tropic trees
The suns last rays are santing,
1t must be nice to sit at ease
And hear the python painting.
1t must be fine, when far and near
The tropic rain is pouring
To lie inside tent and hear =
The great gorilla roaring.
One stales with idleness at home,
Whereas the daring rangers
Who hesitate to roam
Amid the awful dangers
Of lions, panthers, snakes and worse,
Which populate the tropics,
Can always charmingly converse
On interesting topics.
Afar from cities, mills and marts--
The life that you and l know
They've lodged the pygmys poisoned darts
And faced the raging rhino,
They've shooed the deadly tsetse fly,
They've taken dreadful chances
With husky hppopotami
And furtive fer-de-lances.
We have not known the serpent's hug
Nor felt the lion biting,
Our conversation is but SNUG
And tame and unexciting,
Yet still somehow do not chafe
For perils to go questing,
We think it's wiser to be safe,
Although uninteresting.

LETTER M
~IN o.
nv RODNEY DUTCHER

- WASHINGTON. - Whether a Nor
wegian is better person than
Swede, or Swede better than Nor
wegian or Dane better than either
are questions concerning which each
of these three nationalities has a sep
arate opinion. There have even been
some arguments.
But all three agree that Scandi-
navian is as good as a Russian, an
italian or an Englishman. And mo
one ever has said that any of the
three nations didn't produce good
American citizens.
Sons and grandsons of the Scandi-
navian countries, especially Norway
and Sweden, have banded together to
strike out paragraph of the immi-
grafton quota provisions which go into
effect July l.
Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minne-
sofa has introduced an amendment to
the immigration law omitting this
paragraph, which is alleged to dis
criminate seriously against Scandina-
vians and Germans He has the back
ing of other senators and congressman
of Scandinavian and German descent.
Paragraph "a" of section IL of the
immigration law, passed in 1924, says
the admissible quota of immigrants of
any nationality shall be two per cent
of the foreign born individuals of such
nationality residing in the United
States as shown by the census of 1890.
But paragraph 'b" says:
"The annual quota of any national-
ity for the fiscal year beginning July
/, 1927, and for each fiscal year there's
after, shall be a number which bears
the same ratio to 10000 as the NUNS
ber of immigrants in continental
United states in 1920, but the mini
mum quota of any nationality shall be
100"
According to the Scandinavians and
the Germans, this provision sounds
much better than it works out. De-
termination of the ratio under para
graph "b," Shipstead contends, will be
merely guesswork.
