Rockne Declared Koch Best
Guord He Ever Sow

Starting from the top, there can't
be any sane argument against Ger
many Schulz and Pudge Hefelflnger
ut center and guard.
I saw Schulz play his last two
years. I was an official. He was 6
feet s inches in height, he weighed
245 and he was one of the fastest
Nnemen on any field. Ask any man
who played against him, including
Big Bill Hollenback of Pennsylvania,
who always has known what it is all
about-plus.
About Heffelfinger-at the age Of
81 he still was the best guard in
football-ask Bo McMillin, who
played with him then. Pudge still
was good at the age of 66 when he
played his last game, weighing
around $50.
Why Koch Of Baylor? He was
stuhldreher's nomination.
He was the best guard I ever
saw" Harry said. "Rockne also told
me he was far and away the best
guard Knute ever saw. And Knute
had seen his share. Koch was big
fast, smart and aggressive-a power
full Hnesman, with keen football
brain. I haven't seen as good guard
since-either In college or pro foot
ball.
That's why Koch rolls in ahead
Of Notre Danes Cannon, Benbrook
Of Michigan and several others.
Weir Picked Three Yeors
In Row by Irish Eleven
We both agreed on Fats Henry
Of w. and j. as the best all-time
college tackle-a bounding human
rubber ball who weighed 230 pounds
and knew all about his job-rough
fast and smart.
The other tackle job turned into
an argument - Twomey of Notre
Name, Fincher of Georgia Tech
Weir of Nebraska, Ernie Smith OF
U. s. G.
The place went to big Ed Weil
when Stuhldreher said, Weir was
the only football player picked by
Notre Dame players rs the best mar
Notre Dame faced three straight
years. He was the greatest tackle
ever saw-big, extremely fast, alert
and aggressive. Weir had everything
It takes"
There was an argument about the
Two ends-Brick Muller OF Stanford
and Yves Fesler Of Ohio State. W.
oahed the two together in practt'
eA1y one breath.
jaek Wilce of Ohio State once told
No that Muller was far and away

Pick AII-Time Eleven
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. "a (NA.
N.A).-Harry Stuhldreher. one of
the star -Four Horsemen, now foot
bal coach at Wisconsin, began get
ting reminiscent during q recent
round of golf. We were talking Of
old days at Notre Dame. of the
-Four Horseman, who averaged just
100 pounds-Stuhldreher, Layden,
Miller and Crowley-of line that
averaged below 100, team of speed
and smartness that always was out
elassed in physical bulk.
We talked about Gipp, the amaz-
ing Gipper-about the Army game
in which Adam Walsh played CEN
ter with four bones broken in his
left hand and five in his right hand
about the line plunging of Eichen-
1aub-about the hard-hitting Red
Miller. who broke a Michigan goal
post squarely in two in scoring a
touchdown.
We recalled Rockne's intermission
talks, when, as Harry said, the Rock
made you believe there was nothing
else important in life except win
ming that football game.
Stuhldreher gave the nod to
Rockne's 1880 team as the Notre
Dame top. This outfit boasted a
backfield that included Savoldi,
Brill, Schwartz, Carideo, Mullins,
O'Connor and few others. playing
in back of q great line. 1t was this
team that scored IS points against
Pittsburgh and go points against
Pennsylvania in less than 40 min
utes-it was this team that lost a
couple of star backs and still beat
q great Southern California team,

And from that point we swung

ink water from contaminated ponds.
Such ponds are usually muddy and
often unfit for drinking purposes.
Since we have only a small num-
Der of springs and running streams
in Holmes County, farmers will have
to rely on ponds as a means of fur
nishing water for their cattle. The
points to be considered in selecting
pond site are: soil type, drainage
area, size Of pond with sufficient
depth. Sandy soil sites should be av-
oided; heavy clay is most desirable.
The drainage area should be well
vegetated in order to keep the pond
from sitting in. Where ponds are too
shallow cows wade out into the pond
and keep it muddy and contaminated
with diseases that they might have.
A deep pond with a minimum a
mount of shallow water will eliminate
this condition.
