ance here today, with newspaper
critics in agreement on a selection of
a majority of the outstanding line
imen.
Friedman of Michigan, at quarter,
and Poeuting of Minnesota at full

there was a wide difference of opinion
on halfbackS.
Following is a newspaper concen-
sus on all-America lineup:
Broda. Brown and Hanson, SYRIA
cuse ends.
Wickhorst, Navy, and Nelson. Iowa,

The American League holds that "
would have been fairer if the Ma
tional League had met In open ses-
sion and thrashed out the matter of
the reelection of Commissioner Ian
dis, instead of registering a block vote
for him two years In advance.
One year ago the American 1/eagu'
could not have been prevailed upon
to give unanimous consent to the re-
election of Lands. This year or neXl
year it might not be prevailed upon
to give unanimous consent. There is
no doubt at the present moment that
Lands can be reelected this year or
next The point simply Is how much

no need of q joint caucus to discus

back of the center.
The two ends speed down about 10
yards and then cut in. The other two
backs also speed down, but cut in a
little closer to the play than the ends.
Any one of the four men can take
the pass, but it likely will go to one
of the backs, for the ends will be
called upon to protect the two backs
who are the shortest distance away
At any rate, there are four men there
on the job, and the three that are not
taking the pass can protect the other
one who does. The four men are prob
able yards apart.
The play has fine prospects OF going
for a touchdown. With clean pass
to one of the four. there surely will be
one man left for interference on an
open-field run.
When you start practicing this
play, start slowly, and be sure that
each man goes through his part as it
