PRINCETON GAME HARDEST

I note where Raskowski says the
hardest game he played all year was
against Princeton. It was his work in
that game that caused the eastern ex-
pertS to rate him highly. AS a matter
of fact, it won him his place on Rice's
all-America.
In this connection, recall what one
Of the Princeton coaches said to me
when asked him how RaskoWski Of
Ohio State impressed him.
He's a whale of player" replied

ING.aALL-AMERICA

Playing on q winning team is al
most necessary for star football
player to have his true worth prop
erly appreciated. @
Seldom are losing team players, Sc
lected for an all-America berth In
this respect, Leo Raskowski of Ohio
State is. a decided exception.
Ohio States great tackle was an al
most unanimous choice for Big Ten
honors and was widely picked for the
all-America.
One of the greatest honors conferred
on RaSkowski was his selection for
tackle on Golfers all-America. This
team is picked by Grantland Rice,
named as a successor to Walter Camp,
on the death of the man generally re-
garded as footballs greatest authority.
Raskowski, by the way, is the fourth
Ohio State player to be named all
America. First came Chic Harley, then
Pete Stincllcomb, followed by Ed Hess
and now RaskowSki.
Zone of the most powerful
tackles ever developed at State"
is the way DIR. John Wilce, coach
at Ohio State, sizes up RaSkOWSki.
PLAYING ON LOSER
It is always a difficult matter for
a forward to attract national atten-
ton when playing on losing team.
That is the very thing Raskowski did.
Ohio State, picked to be one of the
leading teams in the country this year,
was distinct disappointment. Fig
ured to win the Big Ten title, it wasn't
anywhere.
First, Ohio State was beaten by
Northwestern, real surprise, then in
quick order followed defeats by Michi-
gan, Princeton and Illinois.
"A good line is a great aid to fast
backs. Ohio State didn't have a very
good line. Therefore, the backfield
failed to star as was expected. When
backs are gaining through a certain
spot in the line, the man playing oppo-
site that spot on their team is usually
given much credit. However, Raskow-
ski had no such boosting.
a. great player on offense, it was
his defensive work that caused his
play to be SO widely and favOrably
commented upon. ~

you better opinion of him that can.
There are few better centers in the
game. yet Howe, playing that position
for the Tiger eleven, as well as several
other Princeton forwards, paid dearly
for their contact with Raskowski.
Howe was used up SO badly he didn't
scrimmage once prior to the Yale

style, but he's wonderfully effective"
Despite the fact he has won a

BIG LEAGUE BASEBALLlDEALS
ARE REPORTED FROM new YORK

NEW York;, Dec. 13 N)-Two
OF the biggest baseball deals of the
winter were completed today in as
busy trade market as has ever
marked the opening of the winter
major league gathering ~
While magnates went into u
"huddle" behind closed doors, brisk
negotiations in the hotel corridors
developed these two outstanding
transactions:
1. Exchange of Lou Blue, first
baSeman, and Harry ManuSh, out-
fielder, of the Detroit Tigers, for
Harry Rice, outfielder, and Elam Van
Glider, pitcher, of the st. Louis
Browns, along with a third player
to be tossed into the bargain later
by the Browns. rs
2. Another five player transfer
by which the ST. Louis Cardinals
obtain ShortStop Jimmy Cooney, OUT
fielder Johnny Mokan and Catcher
Clarence Jonnard from the Phillies
in exchange for Catcher John Schultz
and Pitcher Jimmy Ring. a.
Both deals were declared to be
devoid of cash consideration,
Speculation focused on the identity
of the third player, the Browns are
to send to Detroit, but it seemed
fairly certain, despite reports to the
contrary, that it would not be George
Sisler, famous first sacker.
Sisler still is one of the principal
prize packages on the market and
his departure from ST. Louis is re-
garded as a certainty, in view Of
the acquisition of Blue, unless the
latter is to be involved in another
trade. Detroit, however, has Johnny
Neun available for duty at the initial
bag.
Washington, the Athletics and
White Sox all were reported angling
for Sisler, with the Senators most
likely to obtain him. Bucky Harris,
Washington's young pilot, was nom
commital on the subject, except to

quintet headed by Fighting Bob"

The all-state mythical football
eleven will be selected next week and

has a chance to land two or three
men on this all-star team. Cary,

Daring Attempt

WASHINGTON, May 20. R-On
every hand official Washington today
expressed admiration for the daring
attempt of Charles A. Lindbergh to
fly across the Atlantic alone, and
the hope that he would succeed in
his adventure.
At the White House it was said
that President Coolidge was watch
ing with interest the flight and had
best wishes for Lindbergh's success.
At the navy department, where
everyone was pulling for the lanky
Missourian, even though he got the
jump on Commander Byrd, ''the
navy's oWn," at the postoffice de-
partment, where it was recalled with
pride that Lindbergh had a great
record as an air mail pilot, at the
headquarters of the shipping board
which had instructed it's ships on
the north Atlantic traffic lane to be
on the lookout for the flier, and
among government aviators, interest
was intense.
The statement prepared by Lieut.
Logan C. Ramsey and E. H. Kincaid
naval photographers, said that, bar
ring accidents and providing his navi-
cation continued to be excellent
Lindbergh, should arrive at his des'
tination at about $50 p. M, Paris

American eastern standard time, max
ing the flight from New York in be-
tween 80 and SO hours.
