The selection of many of the players
did not vary with the coaches, but in
a few cases the vote for position was
close. The player having the most
votes was given the place and those
who received votes from some of the
coaches are given honorable mention.
The all-southern conference team is
as follows:
Center.--Moore, Douglas.
Guard.--Genry, Tucson.
Guard.--MeCord, Douglas.

received the same number of votes
iand are therefore to share the honor
for the other, halfback position.
Daniels, the ;eolored player of the
Tucson team, won out by one vote over

( Coaches Van Antwerp and Warren,
in their selection, named nine of the
all-conference team, naming Horn of
Bisbee as one end instead of Wager
of Nogales, and naming Bryant for
fullback instead of Daniels
Bryant and Horn performed brill
liantly against Douglas, hence the To-
cal coaches named them on their myth
ical selection, while Daniels was of
very little value to the Tucson team
in the Douglas game. O'Toole No
gales tackle, lost out on an all-eonfer-

Good Suggestion

While doing away with the point
after touchdown might result in an
abnormal number Of tie games, is
abolition is highly favored by 4
great many coaches.
Recently, while I was discussing
the point after touchdown with one
of the Big Ten coaehes whom ]
regard as one of the smartest in
,she country, he offered the following
rather interesting plan:
L am in favor of the try for a
point after touchdown" he said,
but not through the medium of a
place or drop kick.
Il suggest the abolition of the
point after touchdown by means of
the kick; it must be made from
scrimmage. That is, the team would
have to score the extra point BY
passing over the line or crossing it
with trick play, end run or through
the line"
Rather interesting suggestion, I
thought.

Proper Schedule

Ten games are too much for any
football team. There is too great
chance for a team playing so
hard a schedule to become stale,
mentally, physically or both.
For years Notre Dame has tried to
play such schedule and covered a
lot of ground in doing it. Every
year some unexpected reverse has
invariably upset a big season.
am told that Coach Knutn
Rockne of Notre Dame finally has
reached the decision that eight in
stead of ten games is the proper
schedule.
The past season, Notre Dame had
on its schedule Beliot, Minnesota,
Fem State, Northwestern, Georgia
Tech, Indiana Army, Drake, Car?

tough games are too much.
