one; Far West, one.
In an attempt to cover every
team in every section of the coun-
try. the United Press this year in
vited sports editors of all United
Press newspapers to vote. In ad-
dition, the opinion OF selected
coaches across the country was
sought and United Press sports
writers, who have been in press
boxes every Saturday this season,
sent in ballots.
The result of the voting was a
team that represents an accurate
cross-section OF national opinion.
team on which the obscure
player in the small school received
as much consideration as the star
of a well publicized team.
Under this system the per-
feet football player-the man
who would be placed on every
body's all America tie m
would have received 929
points. No player got that
total, OF course, and none even
came close.
But one man dominated the vot-
ing from the time the first ball
lots arrived-Nile Kinnick, Iowa S

Of the nation, seems to be the out

THUMB-NAn SKETCHES
Here, with a thumb-nail sketch
Of each player, is the 1899 team:
End-K avanaugh, Louisiana
State. Greatest pass receiver in
the nation. He set a scoring rec
ord for an end in the Southeastern
conference. He struck his peak in
the Holy Cross game when he
caught three touchdown passes
and intercepted a lateral to run so
yards and score a fourth touch
down. 43s points.
Tackle-Harry Stella, Army.
An outstanding player on a
not-too-good football team. He
weighs 210 pounds and stands
5 feet, IL inches. On defense
he is brilliant at diagnosing
plays and his power and quick
thinking enable him to break
through and make tackles
when other line men still are
caught in the milling of the
play. 1876 points.
Guard-Harry Smith, Southern
California. A vital piece of ma
chinery in a team that has one OF
the strongest running attacks in
the nation. He has been outstand-
ing in every game this year except
the use Oregon contest, anc
against Stanford he had a brilliant
afternoon. In that game he was
breaking through and mailing STAN
ford backs before they could get
started and he was fast enough to
catch them from behind when they
did get away. He shows to best
advantage on offensive when hi
pulls out Of the line to block and
he tried to get two men. instead
Of one. on each play. 420 points.

SILVER
 MINE IN THIS
 REGION SOUGHT
Pioneers 5 Journal Leaves Story of Very Rich
 Deposit Here

A great lost silver mine, described as being mot too far from Ju- neau," has started Beulah Hurst of Los Angeles on the trail of the elusive will-o-the-w -wisp.
 Mrs. Hurst, in letter today to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, states she learned of the mine while doing historical research in Oregon on the journals of early Northwest pioneers.
 One explorer, who came to AL aska in 1852, left record describ- ing a "very rich silver mine,' Mrs. Hurst says. At the time of the mines discovery the prospector did not know what the metal was and only learned through assays taken long afterward that the ore he had picked up and puzzled over was 'more than 50 percent silver" ac- cording to his story as quoted by Mrs Hurst.
 Since then, the miner wrote, he had spent $7000. in fruitless ef- fort to retrace his steps to the silver deposit, making five trips to Alaska in the search.
 Mrs. Hurst wrote to the Cham Der to learn whether any mining concern would be interested in the information she possesses from the old prospector's journals.

BIG STICK IN DIPLOMATIC
 NEGOTIATIONS E NOT GOOD
 p0LICY;25IDE5 ARE SHOWN
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. States men, particularly the semi-skilled ones, prefer using the big stick in diplomatic negotiations because it gets temporary results faster. But the policy of slow and persusave treatment like that applied at Lima has good precedent just now--in the reverse.
 Japan began using the "big stick" on China even before the onset of the present century, but particularly a little more than 20 years ago. Diplomatic observers here who have watched Oriental developments over period of years are convinced that if Japan had pursued a different policy she might easily have had China trade largely for herself with out making so many enemies.
 It was in 1915, while the allies were busy in Germany, that Japan suddenly exacted from China com pliance with the 21 demands. Their terms were as harsh as those i'm posed upon Czechosloyakia, but the hulking republic, still muddled in revolution, knew no way of escape and had been cautioned by Japan against seeking outside aid. The thing was almost a fait accompli when the United States and other powers discovered the situation and stopped it, although their repre-

Professor of Harvard Law School Is Successor
 10 CdrdOzO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. = Presi- dent Roosevelt has named FeliX Frankfurter, 56, of Massachusetts Professor of the Harvard Law School, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to succeed the Late Benjamin Car dozo. He is sponsored by Senator George w. Norris, one of the lead- ing Liberals in Congress.
 Frankfurter has long legal back ground He is a native of Vienna. He has been Professor at Harvard since 1914.
 The appointee is a son of Jew ish parents.
 The Senate quickly referred the nomination to the Judiciary Com mittee
 Comment Is Made
 Prior to Frankfurter's appoint ment, some Senators urged that a westerner be named, since that section is not now represented be- yond Minnesota but the first sena- torial comment which came from the west is favorable. Senator James E. Murray, of Montana, said: MT. Frankfurter has a reputation of being a very able lawyer of the Supreme Court rank"
 It is expected that confirmation will be made quickly as there is apparently little opposition from the Republican side. Senator Taft and Senator Vandenberg refused to make any comment. Senator Thomas, Republican of New Jer- sey said: T cannot conceive of a worse appointment. Testimony pre- sented to the Dies Committee rela- tive to various radical organiza- tions and names of whose members were mentioned, included the name of Frankfurter. The President might have appointed either Brow der or Bridges"
 William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, termed Frankfurter as a man of broad vision and ability and will render exact justice to all litigants of all classes of people"

COULD HAVE REACHED TERMS

OOOAD HAVE AsGhNAkED AEAssAC
 One important observer here who was virtually participant in that affair, said that if Japan had simply gone to China with cool proposi- ton of reciprocal trade, it would have been accepted. Japan might simply have pointed out her own increasing needs for raw materials and her increasing capacity to sup ply manufactured goods to China. China had the raw materials and 3 desire for the manufactured goods, especially cotton goods. which Japan was becoming so skillful in produc- ing.
 Instead, the threat of the 21 de- mands renewed in China com plete distrust of Japanese purposes which had shown signs of abating.
 Now Japan is so desperately ex- tended in China in her attempt at conquest that it is hard for observ- CTS here to see successful way out for her. She cannot withdraw with out completing the conquest. To do so would leave her beaten third class nation, financially stricken by the costly. useless war. And yet more than one authority on Oriental affairs seriously doubts that Japan can keep China subject for period
