  BANKS McFADDEN WAS TOO FRAGILE IN HIGH SCHOOL

Banks McFadden, Clemson's lanky back, was too skinny and fragile to play football at Great Falls, s. O., high school, so he carried water.
 Today McFadden stands 6 feet 8 and weighs l83 pounds.
 This senior had blazing speed, probably the finest punter in the country. He was at his best when the chips were down when the band was blaring.
 He received prominent All-Amer- lea mention as a basketball forward last winter '. throws discus, and broad jumps.
 McFadden led the colorful Clem- son club to its greatest season in years.

An athlete cannot have @ single bad day and be an All-America.
 This demand is qualified, too, in- asmuch as good day cannot be measured accurately in terms of sta. tisGics and touchdowns. The All- America may be cast with an under manned squad. His club may even lose q game or two. Victory is not the principal test of greatness. All- America honors frequently are won by gridiron gladiators who stand out under adverse circumstances.
 The All.America man Is always a competitor. In the line, he is the player who sticks out like a sore thumb while getting his bumps. In the backheld. he is the one who does not quit when the blockers are through.
 Of such players is built the NEA All-America team of 1889.
 Of such stuff Is built the smash- ing ends, Esco Sarkkinen Of Ohio State and William (Bud) Kerr of Notre Dame: the towering tackles, Nicholas Drahos of Cornell and Harley McCollum of Tulane the fighting guards, Edward Molinski of Tennessee and Harry Smith of Southern California; tho perfect center, John schiechl of Santa Clara. and the backs, Paul Christman of Missouri, Banks McFadden of Clem- son, the great Nile Clarke Kinnick of Iowa and Big John Kimbrough of Texas A. and M.
 With Ohio State and Iowa of the Big Ten, Notre Dame and Missouri of the Big Six combination to make 1t 50. the midwest gains the most places four. Three positions go to the south, two to California and one each to the east and southwest.
 The 1889 NEA All-America is headed by Nile Kinnick of Iowa, the ! player of the year.
 If Kinnick possessed more than ordinary speed, he would be one of the all-time greats.
 Standing no more than feet 8 and weighing only ITO pounds, this 1 compactly constructed q year old halfback was rugged enough to play 360 consecutive minutes against In- diana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue Notre Dame and Minnesota.
 Kinnick is the grandson of George W. Clarke, who was governor of Iowa for two terms ending in 1917. His father was very good quarterback ct Iowa State.

man. He played quarterback orl de- felse calling defensive signals to confuse opponents. Santa Clara used seven different formations.
 There may be some criticism of the NEA first team because of the absence of George Cafego, Tennes- sees brilliant tailback.
 But coaches and scouts hesitated to recommend Cafego because he did not play as much as he did a year ago and finally was put out by knee injury. And when he did play, Cafego did not shine with his 1888 brilliance.
 So there you have the All- America team of 1889 men who went all the way all the time.
 MEAS 1889 All-America will do until better one is named.

Best Wishes, Harry

The entire league sends its best wishes to Harry Huey of the Service Appliance team. Harry Is confined to the Waterbury hospital undergo. ing repairs for an old injury he re- ceived several years ago in a bas- ketball game. The old boy was in the bucket when he got 1t and he is in there now but the latest reports are that he is well on the road to re- covery.
 Labrador Art, he was known as in those days. The boy planned on go- ing to the Worlds Fair all summer and did not find time to go until this week. Was he surprised when he was told 1t was closed. How he wanted to see the Aquacade but it is beyond us how he ever thought the nymphs were going to bathe this weather in the open. Well. Art would find a way out. He always does. We should have told you we are talking about Art Bray. Maybe he went to the Winter Garden.
 Frank Vollone had fire in his eye in his second game so he made sure of high single. When Frankie clocks he goes places with that little hook ball of his.
 Mark Doran wonders if there is a new system for drawing the attend- ance prize as he has not won 1t so far this year. The system is the same, Mark, but your luck just ran out.
 Hooraylll Welfare won four points and to make 1t a bigger night, Pete Lewis took high kicker with his S5D.

NOTRE DAME. RIVALS CALL KERR BEST END

NOTRE DAME RIVALS
 CALL KERR BEST END
 Notre Danes opponents called William Howard (Bud) Kerr the most accomplished end they tackled all year. Bill Kerr was kept out of the Army game by kidney ailment incurred in the Carnegie Tech battle.
 He was rated the squads best pass receiver. His greatest thrill was scoring against Carnegie Tech year ago on an end-around play. Kerr. a senior who would like to coach, was 24 on November 10. He stayed out of school two years after high school earning money for his college education.
 Nicholas Drahos, in his second year at tackle, was consistently the outstanding man on the Cornell team. This resident of Cedarhurst, N. r., where he prepared at Law renee high school, is 20 years old, weighs 210 pounds and stands 6 feet 3.
 Last year, as a sophomore, Dra- hos, of Czech descent, was a tower of strength in a line composed en- tirely of seniors except for him. Most of the long runs made by Cornell backs were made through holes opened by Nick Drahos.
 In the Ohio State game Walt Scholl started Cornell on its way to victory by running 79 yards of Drahos' tackle.
 Not only did Drahos open the holes ble he managed to get in on the downfleld blocking.
 Seldom was a gain made through Drahos.
 Unlike most tackles, Drahos also shares in the scoring.
 Going into the Pennsylvania party. he had accounted for Il points, a field goal and eight points after touchdown via the place-kicking route. He scored five of Cornell's points against Ohio State.

New York. Dec. 1-(UP)-The Brooklyn Dodgers professional foot ball club of the National league was looking for a new coach today to succeed George (Potsy) Clark, who resigned.
 Clark explained that "to clear the way for a new policy contemplated by the Dodgers" his resignation would take effect immediately al- though his three-year contract ex- pires Jan. 1. He has no plans for the future.
 This was his ninth year of coacll- ing in the National league but the Dodgers had @ drab season. winning four, losing six and tying one.
