d Il
tn He foot ball experts now are busy
picking all-American teams,
and the crashing OF teeth VIII
be heard through the land.
Fans will wish to know why one
man was picked, and another. IN their
Judgment highly superior left wasting
his sweetness on the desert air.
This peculiar thing is that these dis
rruntled enthusiasts. from their angle,
may be entirely right. Their favorite
may actually be a better back or line
man than any selected. But they fail
to see the thing from the angle OF the
writer who does the picking.
Foot ball is a team game, even when
It comes to picking stars. The writer
making the selections, be he coach or
newspaper man, has to ask himself not
only what a player did but what oppo-
sition he had when he did it. 1t may
be better to be first in little Iberian
village than second in Rome, but 1t
doesn't get you on any all-star team.
Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon and the
others whose names ring down the
halls of fame might have been just as
capable commanders if they had con-
fined their battling TO neighborho9d
rows, but not many biographies would
have been written about them.
Must Consider Team.
In picking an all-American, there
fore, 1t is necessary to ask not only
what an individual did but what his
team did. Surely on teams which &C:
complish much against formidable adj
versaries there must be at least one
player Of all-Star ,caliber.
Before starting TO pick all-America
IT is an established fact that at least
one man must be selected from such
teams as Notre Dame. Pittsburgh,
Purdue, California and other elevens
which have established a fine record
against fine foemen.
For at least seven Of your first eleven
players you probably are confined 10
seven teams And the fact probably is
that each of these teams has at least
two or three men as good in their posi-
tons as any in the country. Foot ball
is now so widespread. and there are so
many strong teams, that you do not find
many "standouts"
Brown of Vanderbilt is regarded by
many as the best guard in the game,
and may get recognition because the
Commodores have played fairly hard
schedule. But Banker. Tulane, one Of
the greatest backs anywhere, may be left
of because most of Tulane'S victories
have been against easier opposition
The same applies 10 Lloyd BRAZIL Of
Detroit and many another fine back.
Pomeroy of Utah is a great fullback
but will those who select all-Americas
feel justified in picking him against
other fine fullbacks whose teams have
met far more formidable foes? He

Diegel Uses Idea
For Weight Shift

Ever notice slight shifting of
weight, a sort of forward movement,
on the part of star golfer just a
flash ahead of the start of his back
swing? Leo Diegel practices this
ere he starts back with his wooden
club.
The reason for 1t is to get the
weight a bit more on the left than
the right leg-where 1t belongs-as
the swing starts. Instinctively this

OPENS


Having authorized ) $24,O00,000
increase in prohibition enforcement
funds, q Democrat tic Insurgent coali-
ton in the Senate today sought to
strip Secretary Of the Treasury
Andrew w. Mellon of all authority
over the tax refunds in excess of
SO ,000--a power under which he
has refunded $2,614,000,000 in the
last six years.
An amendment TO the first defici-
ency appropriation bill proposed by
Senator Mcclellan Cd, brought the
subject before the Senate. In order
to attach his measure to the apprp.
Epriation bill, Mcclellan faced the task
OF gaining a two.thirds vote, sus-
pending the rules Of the Senate.
He predicted success, since the de-
ficiency bill carries 100000 to
pay the latest quota of Mellon re-
funds.
Placed Under Hoover
The $4,000 increase in dry
funds was written into the same
bill by a vote of so to "a. when
both vets and drys joined hands to
support It over Melons opposition
The fund was placed at the dis
posaI OF the President ana was
made available until June 80. 1880,
so that President elect Hoover prob
ably will direct its expenditure. The
fund. however, must be approved
by the House before It becomes
effective
The Senate also inserted a $780,

The naval measure has been side
tracked for the past week, after
being pigeonFho1ed for the first
two weeks of the year to allow rati.

Administration leaders have
threatened night sessions to speed
up the Senate's legislative wheels
but the threats failed to shut off

sion. They charged Mellon with
responsibility for refIInding taxes

nue. Of the Government in years
before the war. All the refunds,
under existing law and by no fault
OF Melons. have been decided
secretly. paid out secretly and the
details withheld even from Con-
gress. Now the coalition demands
that the whole system be changed.
Species of Graft
The Mcclellan proposal would give
the Federal Board of Tax Appeals
authority over all refunds and re.
bates in excess of $4,000. Mellon
would retain authority over refunds
below that amount. This change
would allow for public hearings on
claims for huge rebates, would
provide a public record of the cases
and permit publicity on the de-
cisions.

The fire, which ruined the altar
rnd of the church, is thought by
bolice to have been set by Nanda-s
who are thought to have dropped a
candle while attempting to steal the
sacramento wine. stored in room
near the altar.
! The Rev. j. w. Bowling, pastor
of the church. said last night that
the blaze booked as il it were of in.
cendiary origin. He was standing
near the church when he noticed
smoke pouring from under the caves
of the church roof. He ran into the
burning structure in vain at
tempt to save some of the church
furnishings He was driven back
, BY the smoke and the flames that
centered around the altar.
One Fireman Hurt
In the meantime some unknown
person had turned in an alarm.
when the first companies arrived,
4 second was turned in. Fire Chief
George S. Watson arrived on the
scene soon after and turned in the
third alarm.
The flames ate into the roof md
rear wall of the church and fire.

root of the blaze, were menaced by
falling plaster and debris.
Deputy Chief J. II. Virnstein was
the only one injured He suffered
cuts about the eyes and they were
filled with plaster dust when a
piece Of the falling plaster struck
him. He was treated on the scene;
II am asolutely positive that some
one set the church afire. Father
Bowling said
He declared that woman living
nearby had seen man. run from the
building some minutes before the
fire was discovered.

time the fire was discovered, he said
The altar candles are lit only during
services and they could not have
been the cau~e Of the fire. the pastor
said. The altar. built entirely Of
wood and over 40 years old, was
totally destroyed by the flames.

The Rev. Thomas Al. Calnan, as
sistant to Father Bowling, said that

which is next door to the ruined
church. The marriage was per-
formed there.
Julia NJ. Brosnahan of the 500
block of X Street Northwest. and
John X. Kearnes were the couple
