| Then along came the thud of
 Georgia's downfall in the mud bat
 tie with Georgia Tech, where neither | ShlVer nor Nash showed to particu- larly good advantage. The tenden- cy al once among the assembled eX- 1 pertS was to turn skeptical and re- gard the pair as somewhat over
 rated, in spite of the fact that through 20 per cent of the season they had played superlatively.
 As a matter of fact, measuring up to standard 90 per cent of the time IS about the best that any All America candidate can expect to do, to judge from the records of previous selections. Herb Joesting.
 Mlnnesota'S great captain and full back. has been checked on several occasions this year but few experts suggested any more qualified candi- date for his post. Red Grange. in his last seasan for Illinois, was stop ped in his tracks by several teams but he flashed sufficient class against Pennsylvania. Iowa and Ohio State to remove much doubt of his AL American calibre.

 "Its difficult to choose between them because they are of different types" Jones declared. Perry is perhaps steadier and more consistent but Sprague is more brilliant. Perry played throughout the entire season, missing ilttle or any game, whereas Sprague was hurt and kept out of action for some time. But Sprague played a spectacular game against Notre Dame and the Navy, our two main ohIcCtives. He was the man who had much to do with stopping the Navy Tn that great goal-line stand st half.
 ''I WoUlu prefer to have both on my team but if l had 10 choose be- tween tho two l probably would pre- fer Sprague.'

W|LCE IS WARY
Of GRID SPYING

Abandonment of scouting lis the
eventual logical high ground for
college football" but such a step
cannot be taken too suddenly, IS
the opinion of DIR. J. w. Wilce. for
fifteen years director of football at
Ohio State.
When it was apparent last fall
that Princeton and Ohio State might
play this year, Coach Bill Roper,
of Princeton. made a special trip
from Princeton to Champaign, ILL.,,
to see the Ohio State.Illinois game
there last November after the close
Of the Princeton season.
On the other hand. Ohio State
had no opportunity to watch
Princeton play. This, Ohio
State gives as the reason why
the Buckeyes are unable to
accept PrincetOn's proposal for
a nOn-scOuting agreement for
their game next fall. Ohio
State feels that for it to con-
sent to q nOn-scOuting pact
effective this year, when
Princeton. in 3 sense, had al.
ready secuted Ohio State, was
rather out Of the question.
Coaches Wilce and Roper are
apparently quite in agreement on
the matter, the Princeton mentor
having been at Ohio State during
the spring to speak at confer.
ence. 1t is quite probable that the
non scouting understanding will
apply to the 1928 game, when
Prineeton is scheduled to play here.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 4.-who
won the 100-yard dash in the senior
A: A. U. championships here Satur-
days. The question was still unan-
swered today.
Murray Hubert. president of the
A. A. o., said that only one of the
pictures taken at the finish of the
disputed race between Charles Borah
of Hollywood A. c., and Chester
Bowman, of Newark A. c.. with the
usual number of also rams, had come
to his attention as yet.
This picture, Hubert said, was
taken after the sprinters had
broken the tape, but it merely
served to cOmpliCate matters
further, for Bowman does not ap.
pear In the picture at all.
This might indicate that he was so
far ahead he had run out OF the
picture.
One of the prevailing opinions to.
day was that the race would be
called a dead heat. There are stili
as many officials willing to say that
Borah, who was announced winner
right after the race. actually hit the
tape first, as there are Bowman ad.
herents.
The opinion Of spectators seated
directly opposite the finish was
largely favorable to Bowman.
