Adams Afraid Publicity
Might Kill Bees Sale

BOSTON, Dec. 9.-LP-The fear
that premature publicity might spoil
the partially completed deal for the
boston Bees was expressed tonight
by Charles F. Adams, Boston's null
t-sports magnate, who owns the
controlling interest in that National
league baseball club.
About a week ago." Adams said,
Albert H. Powell, Of New Haven,
Conn.,, and I reached a satisfactory
agreement on the Bees sale price
n the deals terms. Now there are
many legal and tax matters to
straighten out before the title a be
passed. But premature publicity is
apt to spoil any deal and I am not
sure it hasn't killed this one"

Newberry's Collangelo Lands
Backfield Berth Along
With Jackie Hunt
BY HERB BARKER

NEW YORK, Dec. s. - Up - The
football strongholds of the middle
west contribute three men to the an
nual Associated Press Little All
America" announced today, thus
carrying on the same general trend
that was noted in the selection of the
big All-America.
The south, southwest, far west and
east evenly divide the remaining
eight positions, with two each.
Chosen from the ranks of small
college arrays in the midwest are a
pair of guards, Nick Kerasiotis of st.
Ambrose Gowa) college, and Walter
Ptak, Albion (Mich.) college, and a
tackle, Dave Evans, captain of the
Muskingum (Ohio) college team.
Pairing with Evans at the other
tackle post is Alex Schibanoff of
Franklin & Marshall college (Pa.).
The other line posts go to Stuard
Clarkson, of Texas Arts and Indus
tries college, at center, and Charles
(June) Lingerfelt of Rollins (Fla.)
college, and Jack Mulkey of Fresno
State (Calif.) college, at the ends.
Selected for the backfield are Full
back Jackie Hunt of Marshall
(W.Va.) college, Quarterback Domi-
mic Collangelo of Newberry (S.C.)
college, and halfbacks Marvin (Tom-
s,oxy~,,rN VHov,, ~, or1,;I5 of DDoifio ,,{L

university.
This All-Star combination of COM
pounds in the line and ISL pounds in
the backfield.
The only repeater on the team is
Mulkey, Fresno State end. All are
seniors except Hunt, Tommervik and
who are juniors.
AS always, the main competition
came for backfield positions. Star
backs were just as plentiful among
the smaller colleges as in the bigger
and thu selections were even more
difficult.
Hunt, however, would be a stand
out in any company. The Marshall
college star piled up a total of 1852
points in ten games and scored -
touchdowns. He scored four touch
downs in each of four games and five
in another-the last five games N
MarshalPs schedule. Most OF his
touchdowns came on long runs. For
instance, in Marshall'- game with
Xavier university, of Cincinnati,
Hunts four touchdowns averaged
just a fraction under 40 yards. De-
fensively the West Virginian was
superb and his blocking and tackling
were fully up to the standard OF, his
running.
.Collangelo, an outstanding runner,
passer and kicker for three years,
has been the leading scorer in South
Carolina for three successive seasons.
He directed Newberry's team and
handled the safety job. In short, he
was a one-man gang. Tommervik
compiled an amazing passing record
with Pacific Lutheran. He compl"t-

Authorities expressed confidence
in the Italian morale. They said the
shake-up in the high command would

Foreign reports of riots in Italian
cities we're denied as ridiculous and

Taking notice of interpretations
broad that the shake-up showed a
weakening of the Italian morale,
Fascist authorities declared in
statement that this uproar, if any,
thing, will only sharpen the will to
victory of the Italian people and their

"No one has ever thought of de-

OF its liberating war is vast and ar

moments" the statement said. But
the same organs which have seized
on the pretext OF the change in the
high command to look for dangerous
symptoms and indications of presum-
ed discord and the possibility of de-
lays, are drawing from them with
too evident joy catastrophe forecasts

Instead of foreign predictions of a

HANK CREENBERC
IS RATED SECOND
Sports Experts Of Nation Give
Michigan Ace LAT Points
AS Outstanding Player
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-R-
Named to the all-American foot
ball team two years in succession
and voted winner of the Heisman
trophy as this years No. 1 football
player, Tommy Harmon of Mlchl-
gan reaped fresh honors today as
he was chosen the outstanding
male athlete of 1910 in the annual
Associated Press poll.
Seventy-eight of the nations
sports experts, asked to give first,
second and third choices, named
men from 10 sports, with nine each
from football and baseball. -
But for top choice it was strictly
no contest. Thirty-two of the 70
ballots put the Wolverine halfback
at the head of the list, and there
we're enough supplementary nomi-
nations to give him a staggering
total of lat points. almost three
times that polled by %runner-up
Hank Greenberg of the American
league champion Detroit Tigers.
Harmon, who finished his col
legiate grid career by breaking
Red Oranges three-year Western
conference scoring record, kept
football at the head of the list for
the second straight year. Nile Kin
nick of Iowa won in 1889, but by
a mere eight-point margin over
Joe DiMaggio of the New York
Yankees.
Besides Harmon and Greenberg,
named first by II experts and
given 81 points on a 3-2-1 basis,
the only others who got more than
a single first-place vote were
Pitcher Bucky Walters Of the
world champion Cincinnati Reds,
third with six and 40 points, Bobby
Teller of the Cleveland Indians,
fourth with seven and 81; Veteran
Jimmy Wilson,, fifth on nine and
q, and fullback John Kimbrough
Of the Texas Aggies, sixth with
four and 10. 81
OF the other sports represented,
the leading candidates were:
Golf-open champion Lawson
Little, one first-place vote and IL
points: boxing - heavyweight
champion Joe Louis, no frst-place
votes and II points; track-Chuck
Fenske, Wisconsin miller, one first
place vote and 10 points; Bad

champion, seven points; Billiards
Willie Hoppe, New York, five

champion Don Mcneil, Oklahoma

tional champion Joe Platak, Chi

Three Sports
There are plenty Of other Sports
worthy of talking about, ou1 the
w. Stove leaguers usually argue
tsree sports-baseball, football
and boxing.
There is little one can say about
the mitt business. Right now box
inc is at perhaps the lowest ebo
it,s ever fallen. And to make mat
tiers worse there doesn't appear
to be a cure anywhere in sight.
But the sports fans-the e,s
who see a little and talk a lot4
can find plenty of material in the
football season that just fled under
the tape and in the baseball shen-
anieans that are taking place on

Bowl Games
The Rose Bowl is the traditional
p-ost-season football game. 1t has
the age, the color and the money
behind it. Two smart teams Will
play there New Years day-Stan-
ford and Nebraska.
Then there is the Cotton bowl,
struggling to get ahead. The
Orange bowl chasing the same d.
rection. The Texas Aggies n d
Fordham meet in the Cotton Bowl
ARRAY and Georgetown and Missis-
sippi State clash in the Miami
game.
But the game that is attracting
more attention from the gridiron
fans these days is the Sugar Bowl
game between Tennessee and Bos-
ton College down at New Orleans.
This is one year when it seems
that the Sugar Bowl will over
shadow the Rose and all other
bowl contests. But the others will
be worth watching.
