All-American professional eleven
THE Team of Teams''-is selected
today by the United Press from the
national football league, the fastest
gridiron circuit in the land.
The pros get the pick of the col

good in the professional trenches he

142 Sports
Writers Pick
Mimi nesota

NEW YORK, Dec. II. U.R)-The
mythical national football cham
pionship belongs to Minnesota, ac-
cording to 142 sports writer's from
all sections of the country con-
Quoted by the United Press to pick
the 10 best gridiron teams of 1895.
The leaders follow: /. Minnesota.
2. S. M. U. 3. Princeton. 4. T. c. u.
5. Ohio State. 6. Stanford. 7. Loul-
siana State. 8. Notre Dame. g.
California. 10. Pittsburgh.
Minnesota, unbeaten in three
years, won first place with 1866
points to S. nj. us 1,246. The
Gophers were picked first by 80
writer's. second by 34 and third
by 10. S. M. u. was awarded first
place by so, second by SIS, third by
so, fourth by IL and dropped to
ninth by pair of scribes in the
New England sector.
The only other two teams to get
ballots for first place were Prince
ton, which was named as the No. /
team by II writer's, 10 of them for
the east, one from the midwest ano
one from the far west, and Stan
ford, which received two first place
votes, one by an alumnus OF that
school and the other from the far
west.
Minnesota's first place ballots
came from every section of the
country. A typical critic says:
minnesota must be ciasscd as the
best team because of its schedule,
its ability to gain on the ground or
through the air, its defense in a
pinch and the fact that it proved
it could come from behind to win"
The argument over whether Min
nesota or Princeton had the better
team was commented on by several
writer's. An eastern scribe says:
Minnesota would take Princeton
fer a ride. Two All-American tackles
IL Smith and Widseth and a line
that would have shell-shocked the
Tiger backs, Softened them up for
the final Gopher surge which nip
ped Pitt in 1884 and flattened
Northwestern, Nebraska and Iowa
all powerful teams, this season"
Through the southwest and south
and in scattering spots in the east
midwest and far west, S. M. u.
Stanford'S Rose Bowl opponent was
hailed as the team of the year"

their most productive years.
His latest auction brought in S4O0,-
600 for players that cost him under
$4,000.
MIR. McGilicuddy could save mil
lions for the taxpayers il Wash
ington. Our guess is that Gne week
after he had been in Washington
he would have made a check on the
BOYS who were costing TOO mucn
money and started plans for their
sale or trade. Harry Hopkins, the
Works Progress Administrator prob
ably would be the first to go. Mr..
McGillicuddy would have no part
of a man who cost $4,000, 100000.
Bless my iife!" Mr.. McGilli-
cuddy would exclaim when he saw
the figures on Hopkins, BLESS
my life! That fellow must go.
Wonder if Tom Yawkey up in B0s-
ton would like him? / must can
Tom"
Yawkey undoubtedly would take
HOPKINS, because MIR. McGilii-
cuddy seems able to sell the Bos-
ton boy anything that's expen-
sive enough. But if he didn't, Mr..
McGilIicuddy would work out
trade with Scotland whereby
Scotland would get Hopkins and
the United States would get Har-
ry Lauder, the fright-wig cOnces-
sion at L0ch Ness during the mon
ster season, and S2,000,000 in cash.
Henry Morgenthau, secretary OF
the treasury, most likely would sail
on the same day as Hopkins, only
Morgenthau would go to Finland
in exchange for Premier ToiYo Ma
kael Kiyimaeki, the tight-fisted lit
tie fellow who keeps Finland's mo-
ney matters on the straight and
narrow. That is, Of course, if YaW-
key didn't buy Morgenthau. YaW-
key always gets first shot at Mr.
McGillicuddy's bargains.
If, when Premier Kivimaeki ar
rived, he fell into the spending
habit and became too expensive,
MIR. McGiIIicuddy would work out
a swap with Iowa whereby the
Premier would go to Des MOines
i'm exchange for Senator l.. J.
Dickinson. This would constitute
a great saving, for Senator Dick

Basque Not
Over Fight

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, Dec. u.
U.P)-The betting is 2* to l that
Pauline Uzcudun does not last Is
rounds against Joe Louis tomorrow
night. One of the few who be-
lieves those odds are cock-eyed is
the old platinum tusked basque
Wcodchopper himself.
"UPsidedown." as Louis calls
him, is a battle SCARED veteran
who never has been kayoed or
even battered to the canvas in
SO professional fights. He eX-
planned why he thinks Louis will
not become the first man to put
Pauline on the floor.
Deleting the Spanish accent
and reducing his remarks to
readable English, Uzcudun said:
Il have been fighting y years
and nobody ever knocked me down.
And that goes for Mr.. Louis. His
other opponents-particularly Baer
and Carnera-were scared the min
ute they stepped into the ring.
Neither of them was knocked cold.
They just took a few punches and
folded up without even hitting
Louis a hard one.
But Paulino-he'S not afraid
of anybody. And we will see if
Louis is still the dead pan guy
after he gets smashed in the nose
a couple of times"
Backing PaulinoS contention is
his condition, reported by his
trainers to be even better than that
of a few years ago when he whip
ped Baer in a 20-rounder at Reno.
The remarkable thing about
this Spaniard who has been
fighting the best heavyweights in
the game since 1928 is that his
legs are still strong. That is
usually where the first sign of
retrCgressiCn in a fading fighter
becomes apparent.
What if I'm Sc and Louis is only
2l?" Pauline asked. Il saw Louis
against Baer and he didn't look so
hot. He's like other fighters who
look great when they're punching
and their opponents are on the de-
fensive. But Sait until I hit this
Louis. He won't have to look for
me. I'll be as close to him as I can
get all night, and he's going to have
plenty of leather flying in his
face"
POMPTON LAKES, N. j., Dec.
y. U.P)-Joe Louis is going to try
and polish off Pauline Uzcudun
tomorrow night as fast as possible.
i will do it as quickly as I car" -"
Joe promised today. But they tell
me old Upsidedown is hard to get
at"
Louis concluded active training
yesterday by boxing seven rounds.
He will have light workout today
and leave for New York early to-
morrow morning.
Louis expects to scale 203 pounds.

Range Tanburitza
Concert and Dance

The committee representing Slovene
Lodge No. LA having in charge the
concert and dance to be given at the
Washington Auditorium on the evening
of February Is, report an excellent sale
of tickets for the event.
The Range Tamburitza Orchestra, as
can be seen by the picture in another
column is composed of fifteen Gilbert
and Biwabik musicians under the di-
rection Of John Kure and to which
group pianist will be added for the
dance.
The claim is made that this is the
only tamburitza orchestra now on the
ranges. Ely formerly had fine orches-
ira of this nature which gave concerts
over the radio and in northwest cities
up to the time Of disarmament when
the boys composing the orchestra went
to their several schools.
Six members of the Ely orchestra are
still together and recently toured the
Rio Garnde Valley. These six are at
tending st. Edwards University at
Austin, Texas. The boys are Matt
Smrekar, Tony Antoncich, Frank Gouze,
Nick Kordich, George Banovetz and
Jack Gerzin, who with Frank Mega of
st. Paul, tenor soloist, form the st.
Edwards Tamburitza players.

Glass Devised for Color
Blind Auto Drivers.

-Four men and two women out OF
every hundred are so blind to colors, ac-
cording to recent figures, that they are
unable to distinguish between red and
green traffic lights" says a bulletin
issued by the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association.
These six persons are drivers of cars
or potential drivers of cars. For the
most part they are merely guessing at
the colors of the traffic lights or watch
ing what fellow drivers do. They en-
danger all others on the highways as
well as themselves.
1t is impossible, according to the
physicians, to cure color-blindness
which is an inherited trait, or to correct
it by spectacles. But a successful de-
vice has recently been evolved by which
the color blind driver can be enabled
to distinguish red.
This device consists of a red-free
filter glass or celluloid transparency
which can be fitted into spectacles or
against the upper half of lens worn

Barlev-Beer Bill.

In the interest of farm relief, a
barley-beer bill has been placed before
the gentlemen of the Legislature, says
the Minnesota Commissioner OF Agri-
culture. This bill, should it become a
law, will require the breweries to use
a larger portion of barley in the manu-
facture of beer. It is said that the
breweries now manufacture beer prin-
cipally from rice, imported from China.
1t is claimed that barley makes better
beer, but of course barley is more ex-
pensive than rice. A similar bill was
introduced during the last special ses-
sion 1t passed the House but was
killed in the Senate. Rather it never
came out of the committee. Wisconsin
has barley-beer law, which is claimed
to have brought considerable revenue to
its farmers.
