N0TRE Dame Center H0N0RED ON OFFICIAL NATIONAL TEAM
Boeringer Named by Rice in
CoIIierS'-Six Other West
ernerS Selected.

TT1 HE a1l-America football team
for 1925 appears in this
- weeks issue of Collier
Weekly, which makes it's thirty
eighth selection of the mythical all
star national team originated by that
publication.
Grantland Rice, successor of
Walter Camp as manner of the all
America team, received the CO.
operation of ten celebrated coaches
Glenn S. Warner of Stanford;
Robert B. Zuppke, Illinois; G. c.
Woodruff, Georgia; Knute Rockne,
Notre Dame; Wallace Wade. AL
ALBANIA; Captain j. j. McEwan,
Oregon; w. A. Alexander, Georgia
Tech; Howard Jones, Southern Cal
ifornia; E. p Madigan. ST. Mary's,
Cal. and Dan E. Michigan, Van
derbilt.
West PredOminates
AS in the last team named by
Walter Camp no member of the So
called Big Three" appears in the
lineup. Geographically, the West
predominates in the selections
securing seven places against four
from the East. The work of selec-
ton represents expert eyewitness
impressions from all the leading
games Of the season, producing the
all-America and national honor roll
of star players.
The selections of Grantland Rice,
noted football expert, would be hard
to improve on. The players he has
named for his first team are brilliant
performers, mighty deserving Of the
national recognition accorded.
South Not Included
All sections, except the South. are
represented. Alabama, with an out
standing end in Winslett and "a great
tackle in Pickhard, failed to make
the grade.
OF the 1925 team named by Rice,
eight graduated, only three there
fore having a chance to win the
coveted honor again. They were
Oosterbaan of Michigan. Hess of
Ohio State, and 'Thayer of Penn
sylvania. Oosterbaan was the only
one Of the trio to repeat.
Only a limited number of players
have been accorded the distinction
Of being named for three successive
years on Golfers all-America.
Oosterbaan is in line for the big
chance. He already has been
selected as Michigans 1927 captain.

Two of Best Undefeated
Teams Clash When Ala
bama, Stanford Meet.
BY Henry l.. Farrell

United Press staff Corrospondemt
NEW YORK. Dec. 8. - Notre
Danes slim victory, 10 to IL. over
Southern California at Los Angeles
Saturday spots the New Years day
game at Pasadena between Alabama
and Stanford as one that will give the
victor the best claim to the mythical
national championship
OF oil the great teams OF the sea
son-Navy, Army, Notre Dame,
Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State,
Brown, Southern Methodist, Oregon
Aggies-it would seem that the two
best undefeated teams of the year
are Stanford and Alabama.
If Victory Is Decisive
If the big season game on the
Pacific coast results in a definite
and convincing victory, the winner
will have to be accepted as the ma
tional champion, even If a good argu.
ment might be advanced from An
napolis that the Navy could beat
either one.
Stanford and Alabama look to be
evenly matched-although Stanford.
on account Of Pop Warner, will
start as the favorite.
Notre Dame and Southern Cali
fornia seemed even In their game
Saturday.
Notre Dame won because one of
Knute Rocknes young -four thou
sand .horsemen" kicked a goal for a
point after touchdown and because
Howard Jones' young men couldn't
kick the same goal.
Same Old Argument
And that arms the coaches with
arguments for the next meeting of
the football rules committee that
the advantage given to an individual
in the chance to kick a point that
will win a game is against footballs
principle of team play.
Ohio State failed to tie for West
ern conference championship because
an Ohio back failed to kick for the
point after touchdown that would
have tied Michigan.
But Ohio State beat Illinois by tho
same margin--because an Illinois
kicker couldn't add the point after
touchdown.

The Trophy From Trinil.

Bit by bit the great puzzle OF
whence and how mankind came is in
process of solution. For ages past
chance has vouchsafed to humans tiny
fragments in the great mosaic which
some day, If not completed in detail,
may be at least as comprehensive as
the racial history of the horse and
other forms of life. But up until
Yesterday, comparatively speaking, no
one recognized them for what they
were.
The gratifying thing is that nova
days not only are these fragments
recognizable but they are coming to
light with greater and greater fire.
ouency. Somewhere, near the earth's
surface, waiting only to be uncovered
bv chance or by diligence, is thought
to be the whole story, written in
unmistakable characters. 1t may be
that this spot Is near Trinil in Java,
whence the latest find. news of which
seems to be authentic and to have sent
a thrill around the entire civilized
world. has been announced. A Dutch
scientist competent to identify his dis
covery has there uncovered an entire
skuu of that Walking Ape Man"
which, while not a man nor even the
PREDECESSOR of Homo Sapiens. is con-
sidered a cousin and collateral of the
ancestors of the humans of today.

time and more satisfactorily in such
circumstances. 1t is true that the
average arguments before the court
on law technicalities are of but little
interest to the, public. In fact. are
virtually beyond the understanding
Of laymen. Nevertheless. 1t is Diff
ficult to conceive that a hearing that
Is held behind closed doors would be
any briefer than one held in open
court.
Possibly the discussion that took
place yesterday in the judges cham
bers was more colloQuial and less for
NAL than II 1t had occurred in the
courtroom. But it Is to be presumed
that a full report has been kept OF
all that was said in order to COM
plete the record Of the case and that
that report will be q public docu-
ment eventually. The question In
evitably arises whether matters were
disclosed before the Judge at yester-
days hearing that could not be made
public in open arguments without
prejudicing one side or the other.
In a case of this Importance It Is
unfortunate that so extraordinary a
procedure should have been followed.

Unprecedented procedure has just
occurred in the trial now in progress
