FIRST ALL-AMERICANS

1t is just so years since Walter Camp,
called the father of American collegiate
football, selected for Golfers the first ALL
American team in 1889, an annual custom
which he continued until his death in
1925, with the exception of the war year
of 1917.
In recent years, All-American teams
have been selected by various committees
of football writer's and experts. This
change was made necessary because of
the phenomenal spread of the sport, MAX
ing it impossible for one man to check on
the performances of all outstanding
players.
For several years Camps selections
were confined to the once dominant big
three universities-Yale, Harvard and
Princeton. His first team of 1889 was
composed of the following:
Center, George of Princeton; ends,
Stagg of Yale and Cumnock of Harvard;
tackles, Cowan of Princeton and Gill of
Yale; guards, Heffelfinger of Yale and
Cranston of Harvard; quarterback. Poe of
Princeton; halfbacks Lee of Harvard and
Charming of Princeton; fullback, Ames of
Princeton. aos
Of that mythical team, two Yale men
are considered to have been the toughest
players ever to wreck an opposing eleven
on the gridiron-Stagg and Heffelfinger.
Alonzo Stage is still coaching at the Col
lege of the Pacific at the age of n. Hef-
felfinger actually continued to play foot
ball until he was &c.
Drawn and courage counted most in
the old days Fancy plays and the for
ward pass had not been invented.

BOOSTS AND KNOCKS

Key West has a number of very good
friends among the intelligent and right
thinking businessmen of the Florida main
land. They do not mind telling tourists
and others that Key West is nice little
city, with some excellent tourist facilities,
good food, plenty of fresh water and an
adequate beach reached by one of the
most unusual and beautiful highways in
the world
Just the other day the president of the
Florida National Bank at Miami, a man of
broad vision and large interests, an
nounced that the bank in series of radio
broadcasts was suggesting to tourists they
make trip to Key West over that high
way. 1t is likely that many of the tourists
who came here over the weekend made the
trip because of the banks broadcast. We
like to think that anyway for a man so
broad as to see beyond the environs of his
own home town deserves to feel that his
fine gesture of friendship for this COM
munity bore fruit, and that we are deeply
thankful for his thoughtfulness.
Many Florida newspapers have been
generous in giving their space to stories
boosting Key Vests climate atmosphere
and points of interest. Chambers of Com
merce generally have cooperated with the
Key West Chamber of Commerce in the
distribution of Key West information
literature. Hotels, for the most part, have
answered honestly when their guests asked
them about tourist facilities at Key West.
So it is obvious that the great bulk of the
Influential residents of the mainland have
been friendly and helpful in giving
Key West hand up the tourist trade
ladder.
There are still few misguided, mis-
informed and misfit filling station at
tendants, roadside stand operators and
other small change businessmen on the
tourists from coming to Key West. They
persist in lying about hotel accommoda-
tons, the water supply, the food and other
services here. Reports of their puny eff
forts to discredit this community almost
daily reach The Citizen, the Chamber of
Commerce and other interests in the form
of letters from tourists. In the main the
tourists who have come here in spite of the
false alarms have been pleasantly sur
prised-and irate toward those who lied
to them. Those who seek information and
who don't know whether they are be-
ing lied to are finding the facts in
literature going out from Key West
every day.
Key West wishes most sincerely to
thank all the folks on the mainland who
have been and are being courteous and
kind in their treatment of us. The Citizen
believes that those who take a contrary
position will be punished by the loss of
friendship of those TO whom they have
lied

2. B. Donnell, candidate for attorney

E. B. Donnell, candidate for attorney
general of Florida, suggests as a money
saver for the candidates of this office and
time saver for the voters, that all candi-
dates for attorney general travel over the
same itinerary and speak from the same
platform on the same occasion. In a spirit
of generosity he offers to take 1.-The boys
along in his Ford. The voters would ap-
preciate this innovation, but it is doubtful
if the other candidates are willing to do as
did the brothers Taylor in Tennessee while
campaigning for the governorship.

SOMETHING NEW in the
world of art will be on display
at the Art Center, beginning
Tuesday, January 23rd, through
February 18th. An exhibition of
AS Selected Prints from the Ma
tional Museum representing a
national selection of the work
done in graphic art under the
Federal Art Project, WPA, in
cluded in which are several
examples of the "carborundum
tint. This is a new technique
discovered by a group of project
artists working in Philadelphia,
which is said to open up an en-
tirely new set of possibilities for
the graphic arts. The Exhibition,
which has been critically ac-
claimed by leading publications
throughout the country, depicts
a crosS-section of American
scenes, ranging from the sky
scrapers and slums of Manhattan
to the Golden Gate Bridge of
San Francisco, as seen through
the eyes of Americas foremost
print-makers. Nearly every form
of graphic art is represented. This
display was sent out from the
Federal Art Project in Washing
ton, D. c., by Holger Cahill, ma
tonal director, and is circuited
throughout Florida by the State
Exhibition Section of the Florida
Art Project, Eve Alsman Fuller,
supervisor. BY means of it the
people of Key West are afforded
rare opportunity to see the
very finest work in the field of
graphic art, revealed through
fresher and wider Interpretation
of the American scene than any
hitherto presented. The Exhibi-
ton is open, free to the public,
also all visitors to the city are
cordially invited to the Gallery

NORTH CAROLINA N

MOT so long ago that anybody has forgot
~ en- it, so many North Carolina banks
failed that it seemed the bottom had dropped
out of the states financial structure. 1t Is
not pleasant to remember those terrible days
during and following the bank holiday Presi
dent ROOSEVELT declared upon entering the
White House. To get it quickly out OF mind
attention is called to the report Just issued
by Banking Commissioner GURNEY P. HOOD
which offers strong contrast to the depres
sion situation and accounts for the mention
Of those bitter, hard times.
Mr.. HOOPS statement shows the states
commercial bank resources set an all-time rec
ord of s419, O52, 668. OIL in 1888. This compares
with 1856, 5S9, 1883 at the close Of 1888. Thu
badly, after all.
The breakdown of resources, as Mr.. HooI
reveals it, is interesting. During 1899, com
mercial banks in North Carolina retired
$500, O03. 80 worth of preferred stock and in.
creased their common stock by $662,000. The
capital structure was increased by $2,O76,
4e4.6s, and the surplus from s11,O02,S12 to
s12,S14,335.71.
Deposits also mounted. At the end Of 1888
they showed for individuals, partnerships and
corporations s23, 1Ss, s77.53; time deposits, S.,
445, 032.1 deposits of state and political sub
$500, 591.9O; Of banks, $2S,959 ,342.97;
miscellaneous, $1,154,311.53. Loans and dis
counts amounted to 1921, 532.S3; U. S
bonds, $1,000, 2o4.9o; cash and due from
banks; $44, TIP, 1886, and banking houses
3se,523.53.
Rather a sizeable nestegg, this. 1t has all
been accumulated in less than eight years
under democratic administration.
