P. F. Corbin Quintet to Meet Corbin Screw-Stanley

What should be two of the best
games played between mems teams

SO far this season, will be played at
the Tabs hall on Main street to-
morrow night when the P. & +. Cor
bin team meets the Corbin Screw
outfit and Stanley Rule will play
Fafnir. A game between two girls
teams, North & Judd and p. & F.
Crobin. will open the program.
Although the Fafnir- Stanley Rule
game might be tile better OF the two
games. the contest between the
members Of the Corbin family will
bring out more spirited rivalry than
any other games on the schedule
this year. Ever since the Screw
shop team entered the league two
wears ago there has been special
rN airy between the two.
Every year they have met twice
and on each occasion Corbin Screw
won the first game and P. & i. Cor
bin, the second. Previous to the en-
try of the Screw shop team the
I.ockmakers were the "big Shots in
the league and had won the cham-
pionship the year before. Since then

rival for second place and last year.

played and Mizell had plenty of help
from Thomson and Iumpkin.
Tesler was given the honor wing
position on personal opinion through
observation and also on the judg
ment of Western Conference coaches
who all said he rated the first team.
Nansickle was given the other posi-
ton beca use Of the splendid recon-
mendations that came from every
scout in the south.
The tackle positions presented a

guards. Hibbs was good enough for
the All-America last year and he
was Just as good this year. Getto
was perhaps the least known star in
the country but there is no doubt
that he was among the best and
perhaps the very best Of the year.
Wes'ra was a personal selection
but he was an almost unanimous
choice for the All Western Confer
ence teams and he was highly rec
commended for national rating by the
Big Ten coaches. ! don't see how
guard could have been better than
he was this year.

ter OF the year although some of the
southern experts thought that Press

liant pivot man but be wasn't the
all-round performer that Pund was.
With the exception of the back
field men, center and left end the
men on the second team are there
largely because there wasn't enough
room on the first team. The linemen
of the second team might switch
places with the men on the 1lrSt
team without doing great damage
and the third team perhaps is as
good as the second. There is no way
Of telling but there are plenty OF
ways to get an argument about 1t

NEA Service Sports Editor

There Is one thing unfortunate
about the business of picking an AL
America football team aside from
the futility of trying to name eleven
men out of eleven hundred who
are the best players in the country.
The unfortunate thing is that,
while the All-America teams are
treated with scant seriousness by the
public at large. the selections are
taken most seriously by the young
athletes themselves.
The football writer who travels
around extensively meets some of
the finest boys in the world. Nalu-
able friendships are established
and 1t is no pleasure to sit down at
typewriter and write a good friend
and a young man you admire ex-
tremely out Of place that he would
give part of his hide to have. You
may laugh at the idea that anyone
can have his feelings hurt by the
laughed at the idea until we met a
lot Of the boys in later years who
had been named or omitted from
the teams that the manufacturer of
this piece had to pick in his line Of
routine duty.
The point is illustrated in the case
OF AL Lassman, the New York Uni
versity tackle. He is one of the finest
lads that ever stepped into shoe.
He has every characteristic of a
gentleman and a sportsman and he
is great football player. But he is
not on the first team. lie may never
know that he wasn't and certainly
wouldn't care much if ii happened
to be brought to his attention. But it
is painful to leave him off. And the
same applies to Pommerening, the
Michigan tackle.
But, you may be asking. what has
this to do with the business at hand.
And the answer is nothing. it isn't
exactly an alibi because All-America
teams can't be allibfed. The process
Of picking an All-America team is
similar to that recommended by an
American league pitcher in handling
the Ruth person. All you can do is
pitch and then duck.
There doesn't have to be much ex-
planning about three Of the pisitions
In the backfeld Of the accompany
ing selections. Harpster. Strong and
eagle named themselves. The full
back position probably will bring
about a wide divergence of opinion
among the critics. We chose Scull
because four of the best coaches in
the east assured us that he is one
of the greatest ll-round backs of
years. He is big, fast fellow who
can run. pass and kick and he Is
perhaps the best defensive back and
blocker in the game. Lou Young,
the Pennsylvania coach. rates him
as. the best fullback he ever handled
and there have been All-Amerlca
backs before him in the Pennsyl-
vania squad.
Mizell ought to be on the first
team but he was put on the second
team because there wasn't room on

MR. WHITE is OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT

1t is of the evidences of the unsetting effect of
national campaign that the usually sane, urbane and
fair-mnded William Allen White should have attacked
Gov Alfred E. Smith in the way he has.
Mr. White, after arduous investigation has pro-
we'd that Governor Smith, during the whole his poll
teal life, has been connected with Tammany Hall He
has shown that in his early in the legislature Mr.
Smith advocated and voted for measures which Tam
approved and denounced voted against others
that Tammany opposed What is there new and startling
in this revelation? What is there that folks did not al
ready know? What there that he could not have learn
cd from Governor Smith himself who has never denied
his record?
MI White, Of course, assumes that the reputation
OF Tammany Hall is evil throughout the United
States that to identify Governor Smith with that organ
izaton is to convict him without hope palation or
mercy In that view is he honest? Is he living up to his
reputation for truth and fair play? Why does he
let the matter there? Why he not proceed first
20 show what Tammany is with which Governor Smith
connectednot what is was in the days of Tweed and
Crocker but what has been the leadership of

He might have gone further, and inquired into Tam

cret of its power; but why shouldn't it be? He might
have investigated Tammany's record in congress- and
