BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Nov. 5. U.P)-Pres-
ident Roosevelt could probably
have put up Maine and Vermont
for a clean sweep had he or his
advisers thought TO include a plank
in his platform calling for the
abolition of all-America teams.
Few voters could have resisted
the appeal of such a promise,
even those of way up yonder in
the rock-ribbed state, where, they
say, children are inoculated against
the Democratic party just as they
are for smallpox and diptheria.
1t would have been timely
platform plank, too, for before
another month rolls round ten
times ten thousand experts will
give their heads meditative
scratch OF two and begin giving
off all-American selections in
wholesale lots. And just to be
sure they don't overlook anyone
able to make first down on Off
side penalties they'll give off con-
ference, section, state, county, city,
ward, block, and even neighbor-
hood all-something others.
One thing about the business of
picking all-America teams-no foot
ball player gets his feelings hurt.
For by the time hundred thou

haps, but no Immortality.
But if I were going TO make
an all-America selection this year
I wouldn't go about it as I did
i'll the past. I would use an en-
tirely new system, and a system
which I believe would come Closer
to getting the deserved players
on the lineup than any other. I
would make it my business to find
out the names of the players the
coaches and scouts of the big
professional teams had their eyes
on and were trying to sign for
the 1887 season.
This wouldn't be easy to do, be-
cause the professional talent scouts
naturally do not like to tip their
hands. But enough investigation
would bring their choices TO light,
and it is my belief that an all
America team could be chosen from
the list that would run the we'll
known rings around the average
composite squad.
An all-hmerlca CHOSEN by THIS
means undoubtedly would furnish
more than a few surprises, for a
study of the professional lineups
reveals how little the pros go in
for the highly ballyhooed boys from
the big schools. The standout

best football players in the world,

exceptions, of course, such as Beat

mains the campuses of the little

ball on the kickoff and attempts to
run the pigskin up the field. The
ball may be passed forward or lat
orally on the play but as soon as
the ball is dead the side must kick
