What It Takes

It would be a great piece OF
publicity for one Of our national
institutions. The good folks of
the coast have a right to see
their military academy team in
action betimes. This year it is
q worthy representative and
after all it's no disgrace to lose
q football game.
Truth is, have never been
able to steam up any great
amount Of enthusiasm for the
unbeaten football team. If foot
ball is even a shadow of what
it is supposed to be-a character
builder-the unbeaten teams
don't build nearly so much
character as a team, say, like
Notre Danes this year.
It takes far more intestinal
fortitude to go through a
season like Hunk Anderson's
boys have, taking it on the chin
all year long and coming back
Saturday after Saturday for
more; than it does 10 play for
Princeton and Duke and Army
and Michigan and Columbia and
Pittsburgh and the other top
notchers.
The Washington times., 1933-12-04

when once they leave the COL
lege gates.
Losing is a part of the game
of winning just as death is
a part of the game of living.
Many do not know how to lose
bravely and possibly that is
why so many fear death. All
Of which has nothing to do
with Rose Bowl, nor football
either, but it has MUCH to do
with CHARACTER, and isn't
character the foundation stone
of football, or is it?
The Washington times., 1933-12-04

Mrs. Sloan was V1rg1n1an. Inc
name Tod was tied on him when
he was young and he doesn't re-
member how it originated.
Though his triumphs on Amer
ican tracks were many, the high
light of his career were his
continental triumphs when he
carried the colors Of royalty to
victory.
Sloan remembers King Edward
VII of England as lone of the
greatest sportSmen I ever met.
He was never up-stage and had
an even temperament"
Knew King George
Sloan also became acquainted
with the Duke of York who is
now King George V, while riding
in England.
"He was a very nice gentle
man." said Sloan, "but retiring
by nature. He did not possess
the sporting instinct Of his
brother nor of the present
Prince of Wales"
Milestones in Sloan's career
included running a cigar stand
in New York, owning the New
York Bar, opposite Ciro's in Paris,
driving an ambulance in France
during the war, playing bits in
recent years in the movies, and
acting as a starter year ago
at a turtle race track" later
raided by police-his last public
appearance.
Until 1897 Sloan rode in all
the big race events in the United
States-as matter of fact he
started his career as jockey on
the big tracks, and never ap-
peared on the smaller circuits.
His unique riding style made him
a consistent winner. And when
he went to England in 1897 he
was acclaimed instantly as a new
hero.
England had heard much about
his riding, and his style of perch
ing on the neck of race horse,
but when he demonstrated it with
one victory after another it came
as much as a revolution to Brit
ish sportsmen as it had to Amer
lean race fans.
Sloan won six of the seven
races he rode for King Edward
while he was still Prince of Wales.
Retired In 1900
Sloan retired from the race
tracks as a rider in 1900, and
spent his time mostly between
England and France. When he
retired he purchased from Milton
Henry, another American jockey,
the New York Bar in Paris. In
1905 Sloan was offered a vaude-
vile engagement in the United
States, and came from France to
fill the engagement. He decided
after playing a circuit thai he
would rather live in Paris than
tour vaudeville circuits, and re-
turned for a time to France.
Of his days as o jockey, Tod
once said:

Seasons Highlights

Meanwhile there's no harm
in looking back a little over
the season. Now don't think
I'm going to pull an All-Amer-
lea team on you, because I'M
not. I'd like to concoct such
a mixture, but can't because
there are only eleven positions
on such teams and you can't
possibly cram a tenth of all
the good players, position for
position, on an eleven-man
team.
I can, logically and practi-
cally, make some comment on
what has impressed me during
the season.
I'm no centipede and couldn't
possibly see but about a dozen
games all season and the best
game I saw was the Army-Navy
gam in Philadelphia.
The best drilled teams to
play in Washington we're Ten
nessee, Tulsa and Detroit.
Princeton was undoubtedly
the most improved eleven on
the college front, as opposite
from last seasons team as the
poles.
Southern California must
have had a whale of a team;
so must have Minnesota.
I believe there is probably
not a better eleven in the coun-
try than Michigan, considering
record and schedule played.
However, that isn't vital.
The thing is it has been one
remarkable season and the in
terest was of white heat right
up to the very last.

But I don't have to stray so
far from home to make my
parallels. I thing the George

to even attempt a schedule in

tions nothing like equal to many

But when there are two upsets,
such as Army and Duke being nudged
out of the class of unbeaten teams,
it must indeed set the blood tingling
even within the most blase football
observer.
No dope is quite so good as the
dope that is spilled. That makes mat
ters interesting. It's the reversals
of form that keep folks keyed up to
pitch. The unexpected is the salt of
sport; it is the season and leavening
at once.
The issue is quite clear-cut in be-

International News Service
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Owing
to certain technical differences i
it has not been possible for the
International News Service to
announce it's official 1888 ALL
American football team until
today. That is, it was unable to
decide exactly what happened
during the season until the sea-
son actually ended, which it
more or less formally did on
Saturday with at least four key
games being played.
Under the circumstances, we
feel that it is the best of all
possible teams. It was picked
last night, not last week.
It is neither necessary nor
expedient to go into the honor
able mention" business, since to
do so is to rapidly reach limit
by which far too many names
are excluded. The list of first
flight substitutes doubtless could
be expanded to name some names
that are equally deserving of con-
sideration. But I take it that
those mentioned will suffice, at
least, it seemed as though they
did during the season.
Need No Apology
AS for the official team, it may
have few surprises but these
need no apology.
Bernard at center and Warbur-
ton at quarterback are prac-
tically automatic, there being no
contest on these choices.
No Army man made the team
because, in my opinion, no Army
man should. Buckler didn't quite
belong before the Notre Dame
disaster of Saturday. After it,
he had no chance. Thrice, he
let paSs-receivers get down field
on defense, once for long gain.
He was drawn out of position on
an end-zone pass, the receiver
dropping the ball while standing
alone. He was outpunted badly
in both the Navy and Notre
Dame games and he remained,
all told, just a hard-plugging
runner without real deception or
guile.
OF course, Gar Davidson, the
boy coach, stepped on his necktie
by not having Buckler in there
for that fateful goal-line kick that
actually lost the game. But Paul
johnson technically lost it by
letting punts drop and roll into
ruinonus positions and he almost
lost the Navy game by calling
the wrong play at the wrongest
of all times, so this very hard
runner was eliminated. Kopcsak
faltered badly in the final game
and Hutchison at tackle wasn't in
the same league with Krause.
Not Up to Snuff
In spite of what had been
said about him, Crawford, of
Duke, didn't seem to be quite the
Jackie Cnat W1SCerC, OF Michigan,
was all year. AS for Ceppi, of
Princeton, he was more than con-
siStently good and. on Saturday,
he was almost great.
In the same way, Stevens came
along in the late games to take
the play away from Rosenberg,
his U. S. c. team mate, and even
Corbus, by all accounts. Skladany
at end was one of the very best
last year. He's better now. That
describes Beattie Feathers, Of
Tennessee, the perfect halfback"
Lund, of Minnesota, hasn't the
latter's deception but his drive
rates him in there above a horde
Of candidates.
The least that can be said of
Sauer is that he was the best
man on what turned out to be one
of the great ball teams Of the
year. Pitt stopped him but no
body else could.
The Washington times., 1933-12-04

and Lee, by
North Carolina.
Well, on the other hand, why
take Princeton, which played only
a third-rate schedule? One won"
ders what Princeton would have
done with Notre Danes schedule,
for instance. But, Princeton did i,
not have Notre Danes schedule;
instead the Tigers had Amherst,
Villains, Columbia, washington
and Lee, Brown. Dartmouth,
Navy, Rutgers and Yale.
Princeton had rather a tough
time winning over Washington
and Lee, 6 to 0, yet University
of Maryland defeated w. and L.,
33 to 13, and all Maryland did
this year was lose to V. P. l.,
Western Maryland, Virginia, Duke
and Florida.
Complications
All this business of the Rose
Bowl opponent for Stanford
would not have been before Mr..
Average Football Fan at this
moment we're it not for the Notre
Dame victory over West Point
and the Georgia Tech victory
over Duke. Any one of these
four teams-Army, Notre Dame,
Georgia Tech or Duke-probably
is a better team than Columbia,
in the mind of Mr.. Average Foot
ball Fan.
There's a rule which says that
Stanford's Rose Bowl opponent
must come from a section of the
country other than the Pacific
Coast. If this rule were not in
existence, Southern California
could play Stanford again. and
the Trojans probably would,
were such a game played, decide
everything for everybody. Mr..
Average Football Fan would just
about stake his all on Ell Trojan
were Southern Cal and Stanford
to play again this year.
In the South, several teams
have been nominated for the
Rose Bowl game, among them
Duke, Tennessee and Alabama.
The last named has a host of
supporters, and, according to-
some, has the inside track. How
ever, word from New York has
it that Columbia will announce
the official invitation some time
this afternoon.
Stunned by Reverse

crowds at football games, but he
never saw one quite so thoroughly
stunned as the one in attendance

when Ray Hafford grabbed that
forward pass tossed by "Tutfy"

to give Kansas University a Z to 0
victory over George Washington.
Saturdays game was a sweet
heart to look at. Although de-
feated, G. w. gained many
friends, something defeated team
rarely does here in Washington.
Indications now are that G. w.
will have a top-grade team in
1884. New men from the FroSh
probably will cause the 1884 G.. w.
eleven to be superior to the 1888
combination which included
Baker, McCarver and Pearce.
Notre Danes comeback against
West Point was not unexpected.
Nor was Techs win over Duke.
