Wrestling Scheduled al City Limits Arena Tonight
United Press Selects All
Professional Grid Team

NEW YORK. Dec. "A. tUPl-Iake
the whole country from coast to
coast and pick the i best players
lump every all American team
picked and get the consensus-use
any formula you wish but unless
YOU delve into the national football
league you still haven't got the
best bunch of football players in the
land.
The creme de Ia creme of the
gridiron is named today by the
United PreSS-the 1889 all-profeS-
sional team. Before you think YOU
can name a better club, remember
You'll have TO have a paSSer who
completes every other pass thrown,
a fullback who whacks off 80 yards
a crack. a pair of halfbacks good for
nearly four yards every time they
start out on a journey. punter
who averages over 40 yards, and
end who requires two men to cover
him. a guard who can run as fast
as a halfback. That just gives you
an idea.
The all-pro backfield is made up
of Parker Hall, Cleveland; Tuffy
LeemanS, New York: Andy Farkas,
Washington; and Bill OSmanSki,
Chicago Bears. It can do everything
but knit and take care of the baby.
Hall, a rookie from the U. of Mis-
SiSSippi, is the leagues No. l player
OF the year. He can pass. run and
kick and that's putting It mildly.
He completed LOG out OF 208 passes
for 1927 yards and nine touchdoWns.
He was fifth in yardage gained,
458 yards in 120 attempts and was
one of the leagues best punters.
The two halfbacks, Leemans and
Farkas, are preakaway runners
capable of getting away from
touchdown from any spot on the
field. Leemans, famed for wrig-
CLING out of tackler's arms and run
ming away, gained 429 yards in 128
attempts for 33 average and Far
kas, a power-runner, gained 457
yards in 139 attempts for a 3.9
average.
Osmanski led the league in ground
Sd4IlSOs tipping O44 OJS yd1 I'd III IL l
attempts for a 81 average. Also a
rookie, Osmanski was good enough
to take the Bears No. l fullback
job away from Joe Maniaci, who
averaged seven yards every time
he carried the ball.
Mainstay of the line again was
Mel Helm, New York Giants, center
who made the first team for the
ninth consecutive year.
The two guards are Dan Forth
mann, Chicago Bears, a holdover
from last years team, and John
Wiethe, Detroit, newcomer.
Joe Stydahar, Chicago Bears,
again was the leagues best tackle.
He is one of the toughest linemen
in the league to take out. Jim Bar
ber, Washington, having his best
season in the five years he's been
in the circuit, was given the other
tackle berth by a slight nod over
Bruiser Kinard, Brooklyn.
Don Hutson, Green Bays great
pass catcher, and Jim Poole, the
Giants defensive star, won the end
berths without an argument.

An an-star football attraction
lost SONS Of lis attraction this
week when Kenny Washington.
great UCLA backfield ace. was q
conspicuous absentee on the West
ern All-Star football team for the
Shrine East-West football game
New Years DAY.
Kenny Washington, rated the
greatest backfieldman on the coast
and who possibly was the finest in
the land. was not named on the
western team by the committee
which chooses team members.
Although the westerns selection
committee did not refer TO Wash
ington by name. It released q state
ment which was interpreted as eX
planning why the Bruln back was
not invited.
THE Committee has considered
an coEtributin4 circumstances in
picking the western team for the
Shrine East-West game" the state
ment read. II Is the unanimous
opinion Of tie committee the best
possible team has been chosen"
Which. TO put it bluntly, means
Washington was not invited because
he is a Negro.
Washington. however, is mem
Der of a western football team. He
is 2 senior He IS the finest football
player on the west coast. Those are
the only requisites which must be
fulfilled By a football player to
qualify for the all-West team.
When a committee overlooks
those requisites and fails to invite
player because Of his race, then il
violates the very foundation, which
makes football and other athletic
activities Of this nation very vital
part OF the democracy we boast Of.

WPA ALLOWS
Sewer FUNDS
$4,000 Set Aside to Complete
Project; Ely Must Match
Grant With $4,000.

City Engineer Waino Somero has re-
ceived word from Works Progress Ad-
ministration headquarters that SAT, All
had been approved for the continuation
of the Water and Sewer project in this
city upon which work is now pro-
crossing.
While the amount has been approved
its payment is contingent on the city
sponsoring an additional amount of
S12,720 for the work and the con-
dition of the funds in the W. P. A.
treasury when the amount will be
needed
Mr. Somero further states that the
next project of more than ordinary i'm
portance will be the reconstruction of
the sanitary sewer system for the city
on an entirely independent basis.
According to the engineer, the sani-
tary and storm sewer, running from
east to west in the south section of the
city, and then on to the septic tank
near the lake is laid in the same trench
and cannot be separated without caus-
ing heavy expense and heavy damage
to both of the systems.
| It is figured that it will be necessary
to construct an entire new sanitary
sewer in the future and at no far dis
tant date.

To Seek Cooperation
of County and City to
RejuUenate Emeralite
Commissioner Pete Starts
Drive to Use Product in
Road Building.
NOW MAKING TESTS
st. Paul Firm Sent Sack
of Material to Use in
Research Work.

The cooperation of St Louis county
and the city of Ely will be sought in
order to promote the use of emeralite
in road construction, according to J. l.
Pete, fourth district commissioner, who
is fostering the move in order to pro-
vide employment for local men.
Monday, a sack of the product OBJ
tanned from the plant, now under con-
troll of the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration, was sent by Commissioner
Pete to a St. Paul road construction
firm for research work.
The use Of the product in bituminous
surfaced roads, in roofing materials,
and even as surfacing for tennis
courts has been approved by various
engineers and manufacturing firms, but
so far nothing has ever been done by
any Of them to take over the plant for
commercial purposes.
Mixed with asphalt, the crushed
emeralite would make an ideal surface
for highways, Commissioner Pete points
out. 1t will not crack in cold weather,
and its non-skidding qualities for auto
mobile tires when wet are very high.
Emeralite serves as very good binder
for the asphalt because of its porous
nature.
Commissioner Pete says he will start
his campaign for use of the products
in county and city road construction as
soon as the st. Paul firm reports on
tho outcome of i+c Apc+c

Mrs. John Horne, Resident of
Winton and Ely Since 1898,
Passed Away Saturday.

The funeral of Mrs. John Wesley
Horne, who died of a heart attack az
the home of her daughter, Mrs. william
II. Jeffrey, Saturday morning, was held
from the Methodist Episcopal church,
Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. James
Dowler conducting the last sad rites.
The funeral was largely attended and
many called at the home, where the
body lay in state from Sunday morning
to the hour of the funeral, TO pay their
last respects to the dead and express
their sympathy to the surviving rela-
tiveS. The remains were prepared for

State Law Changes
Ely School Election
From July to May
New Law to Push Annual
School Meeting to Third
Tuesday in May.
TEACHERS WILL VOTE
Conflict Feared as Officers
Elected for 3 Years May
Not Complete Terms.

Governor Harold StaSsen has signed
the bill which changes the date Of an
nual meetings for school directors from
the last Tuesday in July TO the last
Tuesday in June in common school and
independent school districts.
In districts maintaining graded ele-
mentary and high schools the elections
will take place on the third Tuesday in
May. The Independent district Of this
city is in the latter class and the
election will be held On the date named.
The changes were made in the dis
tricts coming under the head for May
elections in order to give the teachers
chance to vote on the election OF their
employers.
Peter Mosatelli, school attorney for
the Ely district, has asked for a CODY
of the bill as passed and signed by the
governor in order to arrive az the ques-
ton of what to do with the directors
elected for the three year term and now
in office.
According to the bill, as first pre-
|sented, the newly elected officers vii
take their places on July LIST, instead
of August LIST, as at present. The at
torneys opinion is that, unless the bill,
which contained no provisions for car
ing for the elected school board men,
berS, was amended from its original
draft, complications VIII arise.
Members of the board elected for the
three-year term and under the old
law of the new members taking office
on August 1st, will not be able 70 serve
out the term and there will be two sets
of officers for the same position, con-
trary to the laws as made. Officers
elected previous to the action Of the
legislature, cannot be retired until their
terms expire, according TO authorities.
Mr.. Moscatelli is of the opinion that
this bill was amended TO meet these
contingencies before passage and sigma
ture by the governor and feels fully con-
fident that the holding officials were
taken care of in the matter Of serving
out their terms.
The bill now being a law Of the state,
it will be necessary to arrange for a
school election for the third Tuesday
in May as called for by the new bill.
Filings will be called for the latter
part of the month to close ten days be-
fore election which viii be along about
May Is and give candidates plenty of
time to get their names before the
public and on the lists.
The change in the new law viii make
the term of school directors coincide
with the change made last year in the
fiscal school year. 1t viii result in the
reorganization of school boards on the
first Tuesday in July instead Of the
first Tuesday in August. The fiscal
school year now runs from July l 70
June 80, inclusive.
