Odds And Ends

If you think Minnesota is power full this year, cogitate on the fact that the Gophers will lose only three men from their starting line- up this fall Frank Larson, Bob Tenner and Pug Lund. :. But then, those three are some- thing to lose. Rice institute is said to have the heaviest grid squad in the south with the lightest man ITO and the heftiest 22O. The student manager of George Washington university's football team Is native of India and wears turban on the job. Jack Johnson, 56. and weighing 226, is doing his fighting for the democrats in Detroit now. While you're considering Stan Kostka, Pug Eund and Frank Lar son, Minnesota grid greats, for All- America honors this year, don't forget that, big guard. Bill Bevan.
 He's a corker. Tulane, Louisiana State. and Alabama are being considered for the south's representatives in the Sugar Bowl football game in New Orleans. New

BUSH NEW HEAD
 OF GOLF GROUP
 IN UNITED STATES

New York, Nov 9.-(UP)- Prescott s. Bush of Greenwich, Conn.,, will be president of the United States Golf association for 1885, succeeding Herbert Jacques of New York.
 The association's nominating committee yesterday named Bush as the next president, which is tantamount to election at the an- nual meeting in January.
 Bush has been vice president of the association for the last two years and previously served as sec retary. His nomination caused some surprise as ordinary prece- dent called for the elevation of John G. Jackson of New York, who was vice-president this year. It was understood that Bush was named at the behest of Jackson because of the latter's law busi- ness.
 Jackson was named for one of the vice president places. A.. M Reid of New York, secretary, was slated for the second vice presi- dency. He will be succeeded as secretary by Frank M. Hardt- of Philadelphia. Harold W. Pierce of Boston will be retained as treas urer, and Morton G. Rogue of New York as counsel.

WEST COAST MEN HAVING TROUBLE
 PICKING STARS
Flock of Evenly Matched Material Has Writers
 Stumped
By RONALD WAGoNER

NUnlte0 tresS Stan COrreSp0ndent)
 San Francisco, Nov 9.-(UP)- Headaches, dull and sharp ones, were reported today from Pacific coast key cities where sports writ CTS (with the football season half gone) are supposed to be picking men for all-coast positions and to be making recommendation as to all-America selections.
 Starting with the quarterback, it is easy to understand why critics are worrying. Heading Santa Clara's unbeaten team is Salty" Salatino, crafty field general, ex- cellent runner, super-blocker and deadly tackler. But if Salatino is picked, what will the selection do with Frank Alustiza, the Stanford Basque, Ed Goddard, Washington State sophomore, or Nal Fiese, of St Mary's.
 Nest of those concerned will put Bobby Grayson, of Stanford, at fullback.
 The halfback posts are puzzlers. Big Frank Sobrero, long-distance punter and passer, burst forth against California as a runner worthy of any "all team" But as competition sobrero has "Bones" Hamilton, Stanford; Arleigh Will Hams, California; Ted Christoffer- son, Washington State; Harry (The Horse) Mattos and Al Nichelini, of St Mary's; Don De Rosa,e his sophomore teammate at Santa Clara; Herb Schreiber, St Mary's; Burl} Bufiin, of Washington, and Bob Parke, the Oregon captain.
 Nebb Elduayan, St Mary's, is a guard who plays 60 minutes in al- most any game. Chuck Mucha, of Washington, is of the same cali- Der.
 Larry Siemering, San Francisco universiay; Wes Muller, Stanford, and Russ Calkins, California, are big bruising centers, each of star caliber.
 Captain Jim Barber of San Fran cisco U., has been ranked by many observers as the best tackle on the coast this fall.
 Erdelatz, St Mary's, and "Monk' Moscrip, Stanford, are mentioned among the best fiankmen in the nation.

In so doing, the new mentor has started out just where he left off as Middle player in 1926. The solf-spoken square chinned fellow, appearing not day older than the Midshipmen he coaches in football here, has brought Navy out of the woods of defeat, where it has wandered blindly since he last played for the Sailors, and led his alma mater to a place in the football sun.
 Lieutenant Hamilton was quar- chine of 1926 that went through a |feated, only to be held to a 21-21 tie by Army after a nip-and-tuck battle.
 Once graduated from the Naval Academy here, a Navy man rarely gets his name in the headlines unless he is a football coach of some major institution. And that is one of the reasons why most of the present generation commenced to politely inquire who Lieut.. Thomas Hamilton was, shortly after his appointment to succeed Rip Miller as Middle mentor last year.
 But Hamilton was no stranger to football. Right after his graduation he took a back seat as backfield coach under Navy Bill Ingram at the Academy, and remained under Bill until his boss was called to the Pacific Coast to take over the guidance of the California Bears.
 Then Hamilton was transferred to west coast duty, and while with the fleet there. turned out several teams of enlisted men and officers that met outstanding squads in that section-and gen orally climaxed their seasons with victory over an Army team of of- | ficers and their men stationed in that section.
 When the young coach took over the wheel of the Navy ship, all the experts were fearful of the conse- quences. He assumed charge witt the Notre Dame system, as taught | by Miller, in vogue, and was faced | with the necessity of changing | things to suit his own.
 It was impossible, the sages and graybeards pointed out, to change systems overnight and expect 2 winning ball club.
 But just take a peak at the rec ords! They speak for themselves
 Iris true that Lieutenant Ham. ilton had no bed of eiderdown con fronting him. Twas just a plair old pine bunk, unadorned with an! mattress, from which the bes blankets - Chung-Hoon Becht Rankin, Walkup, Harbold, Murra, and Baum mberger-had been re moved by graduation.
 But despite the loss of las years mainstays, Hamilton tool his squad, well-versed in Notr Dame principals, and drilled hi
 own system into their domes s
 well that they are forging into tn
 flag end of the season with the bes
 chance of any Navy team beatin Army since he was graduated.
 Take a look at what he has

One Hundred Million Dollars Will Be Bet On Football

New York, Nov s-(UP)-Pro- fessional baseball may be Ameri- ca's national pastime, but college football has become the national gamble.
 No less authorities than Jack Doyle, veteran Broadway betting commissioner, and Robert Darnell, Wall street betting agent, estimate that more than $100,O0O.000 will change hands in gridiron betting during the nine weeks of football in 1894. r
 Such 8 sum is more than four times the amount that is wagered nationally on the baseball pennant race and world series and is large enough to make the racing bus mess during those nine weeks look like pikers game.
 Doyle and Darnell believe that football betting in the United States has reached it's peak during the 1884 season; that football pool and card operators have become so widespread and so common that police of the various cities will launch campaigns to close them. College football coaches al- ready have started working against betting.
 Here are Doyle's quotations for weekend games:
 Alabama Clemson, 4-1.
 Army Harvard, 3-1.
 Southern Calif- Calf, 6-5.
 Colgate-Tulane, 10-7.
 Columbia Brown, 3-1.
 Dartmouth-N. Hampshire, 2-1.

there boys.
People have been writing letters !
to this department casting asper- !
sions, old shoes and Medwick ORCH
ids at me and saying that as pick
er of sports events 1 am just a Dig |
lousy bum and why don't 1 quit try
ing TO kid the public.
AS a general thing am not easily
sWayed by flattery, but such beau
tiful and sincere sentiments move
me a great deal and I am deeply
appreciative. Anyway, guy that
can pick Bazaar to win the, Derby,
Camera to beat Baer and the
Tigers to win the world series can't
be half bad.
A man in my position is forced
to take the bitter with the sweet
and when I remind my Medwickian
admirers that in March l sneered at
a scent world series and predicted
it would be two other fellows, prob
ably the Cards and the Tigers, 1
do so with deep humility and sor-
row.
VOU remember what happened
Il last Saturday, don't you? Texas
beat Notre Dame, Rice beat Pur-
due, Washington state beat South
ern California, Michigan State beat
Michigan, Richmond beat Cornell,
Ursinus beat Pennsylvania and
Franklin and Marshall ganged up
and beat Rutgers.
The only thing about those results
that fooled me in the least was
the TO victory of UrsinuS over
Pennsylvania. 1 was surprised to
hear Pennsylvania had scored. This
probably was due to the fact that
Ursinus was holding back for the
bigger games that are to follow,
tricky and cunning practice peculiar
to the UrsinusianS' board of strategy,
and, if I may say so, practice that
is not wholly fair to her loyal sons
who expect the most from every stall
wart in a Ursinus jersey at all times.
(WHICH leads me to Saturdays
w games. I have not taken the
trouble even to read anything about
the teams involved. The games ap-
pear to be ridiculously simple. Pur-
due will beat Notre Dame, deciSively.
They will have to call out the police
to save Southern California from
Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania-Y Yale
game will probably be mercifully
stopped after two periods so the
customers may escape to one of the
practice fields to watch a soccer
game between the Sheffield Ham
mics and the Sheffield Lammies.
I will admit that there is one
game on the grid sked that's got
me stumped, and that's Princeton
against Williams. This is likely to
be colossal in a large way. Princeton
has one of the best teams in the
country and, as BELTS the tradition
al ferocity of the Tigers, is taking
on all Corners.
The mighty Williams eleven is
bound TO be tough and there is
every promise that the ivy clad
walls of Palmer stadium will rock
and tremble to the reverberations OF
what Ducky Wucky would call
Homeric struggle. Call EN- right
out there, KLEIN, you blind old bat.
