COAST WOULD TEST
ALL-AMERICA STARS
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

LOS ANGELES. Calf. October T.
If the colleges of the Nation want an
annual practical test by which men,
hers of an all-America foot ball eleven
will be selected on the basis of actual
play, Los AngeeS is ready and eager
to supply the setting. together with q
paying crowd Of some $4,000 spec
tators.
On Christmas day. as has already
been announced, an all-Southern
eleven will meet an allPacific Coast
outfit in the Coliseum at Los An
oeles. The Southern team will be Sc
lected and then coached by Wallace
Wade of the University of Alabama.
William X. Alexander of Georgia
Tech and Dan MCGugin of Vanderbilt.
The coast eleven will be picked and
coached by Howard Jones of the Uni
versity of Southern California and
Glenn Warner of Stanford University.
When the game has been played the
six coaches will select an all-Pacific-
Southern team.
The West Coast has taken fire over
the prospects of this contest, but the
burgeoning spirit of this land of sun.
shine is ambitious of even greater
things. They want the leading grid
iron teachers of the Middle West to
select an eleven in 1928, and the East
as well. Or, in event that it be not
feasible to hold a test Of the "all-
players" of all sections in one year.
it is hoped that the various sections
will alternate in sending teams to the
West Coast.
Just what will be the response to
this scheme throughout the country
may not be said. In some quarters
the all-America idea is frowned upon
as placing undue emphasis upon the
great collegiate game. The develop.
ment of the paper idea into a prac-
tlcal project would be combatted. but
now widely or how effectively, the
writer cannot say.

"His statements confirm my own

These offices are generally overheated

largely to the imperfect views and

These conditions are the most preg-

in his statements. A remarkable in

ITO make the point plain, If a per-
son is suffering from a disease and
in it's treatment the doctor wishes
whisky to be used, in a very great
percentage of cases the doctor does
not take the trouble to prescribe
whisky on a Government blank, but
merely tells his patient to take whisky
in the treatment of the disease. The
result, of course, is that the patient
must buy whisky from bootlegger.
One of the main reasons for this con-
