eff the team doesn't win this game, I'll jilt the team, was heard said by Earl Copp: (We wonder if he's going to stick to his word?)
 The Cost team wants to bowl against a team that doesn't need a handicap. Is 1t possible with three men on the team bowling with an average over 100?
 Earl Copp's reputation was at stake this week because he bowled against E. Rowland Chase, who has the lowest average, and just nosed him out in the first game.
 Bill Gazey likes to bowl on the winning cam. We wonder why?
 Bob Reinicke is now practising in the Facory League and he cer- tainly showed it because in the Office League he rolled 325 which is a trif1e high for him.
 Latley, it seems that there is quite little trouble in getting sub stitutes. We wonder why the subs aren't eager to bowl on some of these good teams. Come on, subs, show the old Chase spirit and an- swer the roll call!

STRONG FINISH
 GIVES CLAIRMONTS
 WIN OVER PONIES
ThOniastOn Team Shut Out l5=O at Hamilton Park
 Eagan Stands Out

Alertness on the part of Mike DiNapoli and Frank Eagan, former Crosby fo tball captain, plus fine defensive work by Albie Burke gave the Clairmont presidents a 15-0 win over their rivals from Thomaston, the Ponies, yesterday at Hamilton Park before a crowd of $500 fans. In the third period, Di Napoli, who was playing any thing but a good game at center, sooped up a clocked kick and ran 35 yards for score. Eagan's final period touchdown was the thriller, the speedy end intercepting pass from Greatbrex, and with perfect interference forming quickly sprint ed 75 yards for a score. An auto matic safety thre minutes before the close of the game, gave the Clairmonts two points, which fol- l lowed 8 blocked kick. Came to Life.
 Thomaston's line outplayed the locals throughout the first half, several bad passes by Di Napoli allowing the secondary to be nailed before they could get under way. In the second half, it was a differ ent team. The line held, the backs got going and in no time at all the game was clinched, because the iClairmonts took advantage of every "break" that came their way. The summary:

 Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Inv.
 Selections by outstanding coach- es in seven Geographical sections, and their reasons, were balanced in deciding the NI1A Service All- America football team of 1883, which is presented here.
 The coaches of the NEA All America committee who cooperated in picking the teams are: Jock Sutherland. University of Pitts burgh; Noble Kizer, Purdue; Harry Mehre, University of Georgia; Bill Spaulding, University of California at Los Angeles; Ike Armstrong, University of Utah; Bo McMillin, Kansas State College, and Fred Thomsen, University of Arkansas.
 Each of these coaches made his All-America nominations. which were tabulated with the results shown herewith. In several eases where the result was a tie, this writer took the liberty of casting the deciding tally. Several of the choices were remarkably decisive in view of the fact that 117 play CTS were nominated. Three players were elected by majorities so sub stantial that any doubt of their su- periority was removed. These were Cotton" Warburton, quarterback; {; Chuck" Bernard, center, and Johnny Buckler. halfback. These men boiled four first choice votes each, an unusual concenstis of opin- ion considering the geographical differences.

East Out


 The vote if taken as reflection on the quality of football as played In various parts of the country Gan opinion not contemplated) gives the palm to the Pacific coast, with four choices on the first team. Not Yale. Harvard or Dartmouth man figured in the voting. indicating the wide westward sweep of the game since Walter Camp picked the first All-America away back in the days when Alonzo Stagg was playing football. What chance would g have had being named in that re. mote day?
 Eastern players on this All- America are Skladany and Buckler, first team, and Jablonsky, Johnson and Ceppi, second team = five places out of 22 possible positions.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-01
And Besides

Running next strongest were Frank Larson, end; George Sauer, fullback; Freddie Crawford. tackle; Bill Corbus, guard, and "Alley Cop" Rosenberg, guard. Each re- ceived three first team and one sec- on dteam vote. Beattie Feathers, the south's great halfback, boiled two first and two second team choices. Skladany, Pitts peerless end, received two first team and one second selection, as did Yezer- ski of St Mary's.
 Though the choice of Freddie Crawford was definite. balloting on the other tackle position, resulting in Yezerskis choice, was what pol itical writers would call spirited a fact due to. the, shortage of out standing tackles. One coach named Jorgenson, who plays the opposite tackle on Yezerskis own team.
 The election, if it may be called that, produced several remarkable angles. Only two men were chos- en from any one team-Rosenbefg and Warburton of Southern Cali fornia-which gives Howard Jones the edge this year in developing All-America players, even though his team has lost the Rose Bowl as- signment to Stanford.
 The Big Ten, productive annual ly of several All-America men, landed two positions on the first team-Larson and Bernard-and one on the second team-Everhar- dus.
 The player receiving the most verbal praise was Feathers of Ten- nessee, "who gained 564 yards in seven games" and averaged 45 yards per kick" Feathers in seven games also scored 12 touchdowns. The record seems to speak for It. self.

The chief saw the latest of many

THREE ISSUES HOLD
CONGRESS INTEREST
Prohibition, Farm Relief and Job
less Bring More Proposals Than
Any Other Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In what national problems have
members of the nearly-dead Seventy
second Congress been most interested?
If the volume of bills introduced on
the various issues is any indication, the
answer would run something like this:
First, prohibition; second, farm relief;
third, unemployment relief.
That is the opinion of experts In the
document rooms who have filed and
catalogued the more than 10000 in
dividual pieces of legislation introduced
during this Congress by Senators and
Representatives.
Most of this huge number of bills
deal with private pensions or claims
But of the remainder the document
room experts say around 900 relate to
prohibition, farm and unemployment
relief.
Prohibition, including both the con-
stitutional amendment and beer pro-
posals, was concerned in more than $50
measures.
Fourth place in number of bills prob
ably would go to the banking and cur
rency bills, with monetization of silver
and various money imitation plans
claiming the largest percentage, and
fifth place to bills directed at depreci-
ated currencies in foreign countries and
their effects on tariffs
