 New York, Nov 24.--(UP)-Eleven players whose smashing inspirational play stood out through the competi- ton of the topsy turvy lo36 gridifon campaign were named today on the United Press All.America football team.
 These stars--three from the mid. west, three from the far west, two from tho south, two from the east, and one from the southwest-were survivors of more than 25o recoSn- lmended by coaches, scribes, scouts and players from coast to coast.
 The trademark of this team is in. spirational leadership under fire. Every member has the usual re- QLisites of Q great player--speed, power. durability, poise and mechar1. ical ability.
 But over and above these qualities each proved an irspirational player, able to rise to the heights himself and lift his teammates along with him. Every member except one met defeat, but each knew how to take 1t al.d come back to greater glory in succeeding games. But in victory or defeat, these All-Americans never had their spirit shattered or quit tn- der stress.
 For example--Larry Kelley, Yale's dynamic end, raliying his mates from the brink of defeat to Q 26-23 vic- tory over Princeton: Sammy Baugh. crippled and hohbling on one leg. pitching touchdown passes for Texas Christian; John Lautar, Notre Dame'5 fiery guard. lifting the Irish to stunning triunlphs over Army and Northwestern. Sam Francis, holding Q Nebraska team together and ,stav- ing off rout against Pittsburgh: Bob Eerwig, California center, rallying his mates from three straight de- feats to e November power in the far west; Ed Widseth, Minnesotas might tackle leading the devastat- in charges in the 0ophers' smash ing triumphs; Ace Parker, Dukes dynamo who led the Blue Devils to eight victories. but still great in his team's lone defeat by Tennessee.
 These seven--and 0aynell Tinsley, Louisiana States heroic end: Averell Daniell, pitts5urgh's powerful tackle. Max Etarceyich, WaShingtcn's slash. ing gaara: and I'd Goddard. Wash- ingtOn States superb back. com. prise the greatest group of inspira- tiopal players ever named py she

 Halfback Ed Goddard. Washing ton etate--A one man offense, who reached his peak when he led a blaz- ing attack which swept U. o. L. A. to It's worst defeat, 33-7. Breakaway runner. passer. kicker, and sound all- around player.
 Fullback Sam Francis, Nebraska another triple-threat man, whose left-handed bunting and passing won him fame as the midwest's greatest pack. His kicking staved off Minnesota until the last min- ute of play. A few seconds after he was taken out of the game, injured. the Oophers scored the winning touchdown. A smashing blocker.

Candidacy Expected to At

By THEON WRIGHT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25. (UP)
California prepared last night for
another knock em-down-and-drag-
'em-out political battle as Upton
Sinclair, socialist novelist and for
mer Democratic gubernatorial
candidate, sent his hat sailing
back into the political arena as
a presidential candidate.
The gray-haired writer, who
announced his political retirement
less than a month ago, permitted
himself to be called back to head
an Epic-Democratic slate in the
states primary elections as nom-
inal candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president.
While Sinclair insisted his re-
appearance in the political field
as a presidential candidate was

2. Possible effect on Demo-
cratic chances to win the state for
President Roosevelt in general

Sinclair insisted there was no
possibility of a "break with Pres

would become the party's nominal
candidate, to be voted on the first
ballot by an Epic slate if that fac,

WHO PROMISED.
GRAHAM CLEAR
TRACK, ASKED.
Administration Leaders Say
machine Politicians"
Out With Simmons
By JOHN A. PARIS, JR.
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

RALEIGH, Feb. rs. (UP)-
Capitol Hill wonders who promis-
ed Lieut-Gov. A. H. SANDY"
Graham the unopposed nomina.
ton for governor four years
hence if he would retire from the
present Democratic gubernatorial
race.
Administration leaders said they
knew of no one who has that pow
er. Machine politics, they said,
went out when Furnifold Simmons
former senator and "the grand old
man of the Democratic party"
folded up his political tent and
went into retirement.
Political observers believe Ora
ham is at crucial point in his
campaign. They say he must do
one of two things. One perhaps
will aid his race, the other injure
it.
He must make public the names
of those who suggested he retire
from the present gubernatorial
race with the promise he would
get the nomination unopposed
four years hence, political observ-
ers on Capitol Hill lay down as
the helpful step.
If he remains silent and refuses
to name the party or parties who
approached him, he has blasted his
chances for governor, they point
out.
Already, DR.. Ralph w. Melon
aid, gubernatOrial candidate from
Forsyth county, has challenged
Graham's statement was proof
that some special interests con-
slider even the governorship theirs
to confer or Withhold at will"
No sooner had Graham made
the statement up in Asheville than
Capitol Hill became one big ques-
ton mark. Not since Simmons re-
tired has anyone advanced or even
offered to suggest that anyone
could throw the governorship or
any other office any one direc-
ton.
It's a known fact, the political
bigwigs talk, that the Simmons
machine got what it set after. But
that was a long time ago. Times
have changed, they say, even in
politics. But the Simmons clique
didn't send its gubernatorial cam
didates out unoppOsed.
Only once in the history of
North Carolina politics can OBJ
servers remember when man
ever ran unopposed for the Dem
ocratic nomination. That was o.
Max Gardner. And the reason for
that, the men on Capitol Hill said,
was because he was "such damn
good sport" when he was defeated
by former Gov. Cameron Morri-
son in the primary in 1920.
Gardner lost in the 1920 primary
by small margin. But he threw
his help over to harrison. He
then waited eight years to run
again, giving support to Mclean
in 1928 In 1928, Gardner an
nounced he would be a candidate
for the Democratic gubernatorial
race. No one opposed him. He
had been conceded the honors
when he was defeated in 1920.
That's history now.
No one promised Gardner he
would be unopposed. The voters
over the state took it for granted
he would be the man, that he
should be the man. He was.
Now the question who has made
such a startling proposal to Ora
ham is worrying the political OBJ

censuring others, and with all
sity of the thing in itself, without
humility. Self-denial. in whatever
form it takes, should be as secret
as possible, according to the words
of the Lord Himself.
But it would be q mistake to
regard self-denial as the chief
part Of the Lenten observance.
Curtailment of social activities
and other methods of observing
the season are purely for the pur-
pose of allowing more time for
prayer, recollection, and medita-
ton. 1t is not vice and wicked
ness that cuts man off from God
and the spiritual world, but rath-
err want of attention, the bust
ness Of being too busy to pray and
mediate.
