- PORTS FORUM
By Bishop Clements

The writer il thinking today Of
the boys who weren't chosen on the
Al-Nalley eleven selected last night
at Mercedes. IL is an im~possibility.
in our opinion, to select an all-star
team. There are so many fine and
excellent young players on the diff
ferent Valley squads. that 10 leave
any Of them off, seems an injustice.
But from time immemorial. in n
football way. all-star teams have
with the rest Of the country. has
chosen an All-Valley team.
We are reminded Of 4 story, and
an authentic one at that. recently
told. that when Walter Camp was
selecting his All-American several
years ago. he wired a certain coach
Of the Big Ten conference as to
who was his best lineman. The coach
wired back the name of an end, but
Camp wanted a guard. And we arc
told that he picked a man who play
cd only a couple Of games that sea-
son. and was considered among the
other schools, and his own team. as
a sub. So no Valley player needn't
feel sighted because his name is left
off the honor roll.
Selection Of IN all-Nalley eleven
last night at Mercedes was a hard
task in the writer's opinion. In choos-
ing Brownsville players for the club,
IL was a doubly hard task. Because,
as n matter Of fact, the eleven men
Of Coach Fessenden's are about
equal in their respective depart
ments. In other words. there are no
stars on the local team. The line
and backfield is evenly matched.
SANDY" Sanders. a grduate OF the
San Benito high school. and now en-
rolled in the Brownsville Junior col
lege, sends in his pick Of an All-Val-
ley high school football eleven.
SANDY" played on the San Benito
eleven a few years ago. and was a
member Of the Junior college Scor-
pions this past season.
His selection follows:
Ends-Crowe, Brownsville; Ram
sey. McAllen.
Tackles-McW illisms. San Benito;
Bennett. Brownsville.
Guards-Burns, Brownsville; Todd
San Benito.
Center-O'Bryan. Brownsville.
Quarterback Newman, Browns
Vile.
Halves - B~arnhart, Brownsville;
Adamson. San Benito.
Fullback-Dodson. San Benito.
Sanders writes Of his selection. as
follows: "As you will note n ma
iority NJ the team is picked from
the Brownsville club. which won
the Valley championship. BY win
ming the championship the Browns
Vile team looked like the s~moothest
running team that the writer has
been privileged to see IN a high
would be far wrong to place the
whole Brownsville line on the team.
for they have demonstrated that they
are powerful from end to end.
"My team may be too partial 70
the lower part of the Valley. but !
believe that they arc the class OF
the district. Some may disagree
with me in placing Adamson in pref
ercnce 10 some other back in the
Valley. but he was a great ground
gamer in all except the last two
games. Outside of him I think that
the other backs are without a rival
in the Valley. With Newman spin

Is Urged

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-PD-Na-
tional league officials are in favor
of i0-man baseball teams and pitch
ers who are just that and nothing
more. What's more they will take
their plan with them to Chicago for
consideration at the joint meeting
with the American league tomorrow.
John A. Heydler. just reelected
as president of the N~ati-nal league
for four more years. suggested a
radical change in the rules whereby
weak-hitting pitchers would have
somebody else to do their batting
and base-running for them. While
his club owners inclined a favorable
ear. Mr.. Heydler explained that he
felt the rule change would speed up
baseball and at the same time. ob-
viate the necessity Of having so
many pinch hitters.
Provided the suggestion meets
with American league favor it is
possible that a special meeting Of
the rules committee would be called
in time to place the suggested
change in effect before the 1929 sea
son starts.
