have invited Roper, coacn at princ 1s
Zuppke, University OF Illinois; Jones,
IJniyersity of California, and myself to
make a particular study OF the teams
and the individual players OF our re-
spective sections, and at the END OF the
season to agree on an au-Amerlcan
eleven.
We are to observe and to inquire from
all reliable sources, and TO note the
progress of teams and the development
of players week by week. From the be-
ginning of the season to the end we are
to know whether player is consistently
good, or brilliant only at intervals,
whether he shows any indication OF
selfishness or whether he forgets himself
in the spirit of team play. Even this
selection, carefully made, will be i'm
perfect and unjust to some, but 1t
should nevertheless be reasonably just
and fair.
This invitation has caused me to
abandon the policy have long adhered
to, that is, to refrain from writing Tor
newspapers. 1t seems to me, however,
that it does provide an opportunity to
place teams and individual players OF
the Southeastern section in place of
consideration.
South Has It's Stars.
It is naturally the disposition of every
section to think its own the best. 1t
is my observation that men the country
over have generally the same physical
ability. Through the influence of cll-
mate and other conditions they may
be different in type.
Boys in the Middle West are inclined
to be muscular, thick of chest and
strong of thigh. The Southern boy Is
more apt to be slender. thin of face,
very often thin of chest, and with the
long steel-like muscle of the pioneer.
The institutions of the North and
East have on the average far greater
number of students. The South has
not developed intramural activities as
other sections, though great progress
is being made.

have the traditions which more effective

- OUTH BEND, Ind, September 10.
-Notre Danes outlook for the
coming foot ball season reminds
~ one of the conditions found at
this attractive seat of learning
back in 1926. At that time the eleven
looked distinctly unpromising. The
team limped along for a month and
then practically overnight snapped into
brilliant form and ended the season in
a cloud of star dust.
Today the conditions on Cartier Field
are very much the same as they were
that September six years ago. There IS
a host Of untried candidates for all the
positions, just as there was then, and
perfectly splendid morale. But now,
as in 1925, there is dearth Of out
standing men.
Knute, in fact, sees just one ace as
he looks over his squad Of $50 candi-
dates. He Is Niemic, back1eld flash,
already known to fame, about whom,
as it looks now, Notre Danes attack
will be built. But Rockne always seems
to have backfield men ready to spring
out of the ground, and no doubt this
season more than one ball carrier of
approved Notre Dame caliber will ma
terialize before the season Is well under
way.

friend, as passengers, was wrecked on

Winston and Bob were slightly injured.
Despite the accident, Tunney insisted
that he would carry out his plan to fly
to New York on the day Of the fight.
He knew, however that this plan would
be strenuously opposed by Tex Richard,
promoter of the titular contest. The
champion was prepared to pass on
Richards objection to his contemplated
flight while resting today. Tunney has
stubborn disposition and he win prob

the face Of Richards objections.
Another of Tunney's visitors yester-

champion made an all-night motor trip

athlete in shape. The perspiration drips
of him. but he hardly draws a long

He seems to have the energy OF dy-

All this pleases Jimmy Hennessey

at the Rumson Farm Camp, said he
had "hunch" that Heeney will defeat
Tunney, perhaps knock him out.

shown plenty of boxing brains down
here and improves every day. Why. do
you know that he has been the short

yet he won them.
II never saw boxer so quick to
solve an opponents style. If Tunney
hits him with left hands. ii will be In
the first two or three rounds. After
that. Heeney will be all wised up to Mr.
Tunney. Heoney is no sucker at getting

He has been trained to keep on top
OF his man, and goes right back At

Performance Is Impressive.

with James J. Braddock and James j.

opinion that he never looked better.
There was no attempt at f1ashy boxing
and little attempt at defense. Heeney
