Winners Get Preference
By Fronk Leohy
ketre Dame University coaeh


In many ways the annual Gus
tom of naming All-America
teams Is unfair. This does not
mean that those who make the
selections for the mythical. teams
do not pick men who, in their
honest opinion, are the most
outstanding players.
They are as fair as Is humanity
possible. The fact remains,
however, that fate has more than
a little to do with the final selec-
tions.
For example, two boys with
equal ability do not always find
this ability equally rated at sea-
sons end when All-Amerlca
picks are announced. One boy,
through fate, plays on a vim
ming team. The other lad plays
equally hard, but finds himself
on team finishing low in VIC
tories and National standing.
Nine times out Of ten the boy
on the winning team gets prefer
ence. Check this years All-Amer-
lea selections and see If we are
far wrong In this assumption.
Of hand, Bobby Forbes OF the
University of Florida is a good
example of what we mean. For a
while Bobby led the nation IN
yards gained from scrimmage-
the tough way. we might add.
Right now he's second in the
country with total of 684 yards
gained rushing on only 80 plays.
That's an average Of more than
8 yards per crack, and it's best
of all players on major colleges.
Florida has won but two OF
seven games played. The Gators
are a team on the way back after
lean years.
Although playing on q losing
team, Forbes has been going at
a dazzling pace and on a big
name eleven he would be a safe
bet for numerous An-America
selections.
Professional football has proved
this time and time again. Widely
publicized players from larger
schools have given way to tai
ented youngsters whose abilities
have been hidden under bushels
of defeat.
Nation wide television may
right this wrong. Then experts
can flip a dial and watch games
being played across the country.
The experts, being minded
men, will welcome that day. OF
this you can be sure. And then

Coach h'sWz System
Even Fools Officials,
But Brings Results
BY the kssoeiatsd Press

WORTHINGTON, Mimi, Nov. IL.
If you think you've seen Just
about everything on the football
field, don't give up.
For Coach L. S. Herting OF the
Worthington Junior College has
something different. He calls 1t the
xYz system and claims several
advantages for 1t. Among them, he
says, are easier coaching and SIM
plification Of the game for the play
ers. In addition it provides some
thing novel for the fans to watch.
With his XYz system Herting
built little Worthington into con-
tender for a place in the little Rose
Bowl game in Pasadena. Those
chances were dimmed considerably
Yesterday, when Rochester lMlnno
Junior College took 13-to-6 decl-
sion over Worthington.
Herting still feels that the sys-
tenn has been responsible for his
teams record. Yesterdays defeat
was but the third in the four years
Herting has used the system against
2o victories. That record has peen
complied against teams IN four
States, most of them from scnools
larger than Worthington.
Perhaps the most novel part OF
the XYZ system Is the placing OF
backfield men, which at flrst glance
riyes the impression that three OF
the bows have made terrible mistakes
they're heading the wrong way:
The two halfbacks are placed be-
hind right guard and tackle, with
their backs to the linemen. They
face the tailback in the usual spot.
The quarterback is placed behind
the left guard, but at an angle facing
the halfbacks.
It NAV sound peculiar, but Herting
insists it's the most simplified sys-
tenn of football and Is the easiest to
teach. Backfield men have but
three sentences to memorize to learn
all their running assignments. Ano'
Herting says, any back Is IN posi-
ton to pass at any time.
Deception Is strong point OF
the system on offense. Herting
claims, because any of the four po-
tential ball carriers can be Juggling
the ball. On occasion even oflcials
have been fooled into whistling
down the wrong man under the i'm
nression he had the ball.

MuSh DubOtSky'S scout report OH
villanova, to be met by Georgetown
Friday night in Philadelphia, made
Hoya Coach Jack Hagerty wonder
why the Wildcats accepted the Great
Lakes Bowl bid against Kentucky
II the Cats are as good as Mush
claims, they belong at least IN the
Rose Bowl.
Are they as good as Boston Col
lege?" Hagerty asked, and Mush
almost jumped down his boss throat
"As good" whispered Mush, In a
tone that was picked up on the
Fordham seismograph, there's moo
o-o-o-o comparison. (Actuany there
is a comparison as B. c. defeated
Villanova. 6-0O
LAS good as Wake Forest?" Hag-
erty meekly asked. Much better
than Wake Forest" Mush replied
"bigger, faster, smarter, stronger
better runners, better passers, more
reserves"
In view of the fact that George
town lost to both Boston College
and Wake Forest, coach VINO
didn't know Mush would have been
on the verge of cancel;ng the game,
but Dubofsky and Hagerty are bud
dies of long standing. Hagerty
knows that Mush has tendency
to exaggerate ever so slightly.
Cats Don't Pass Much.
Taking Dubofskys scout reports
on paper, and without his boyish
enthusiasm, Hagerty learned that
Villanova has a pretty good college
ball club. The Cats don't do much
passing as they have powerful
running attack and apparently lack
a good passer or they would mix
their attack. They were not ex-
tended in defeating Marquette, 25-7
last week. .
The Villanova line will outweigh
GEORGETOWN. The Wildcats have
given up only eight touchdowns ir
seven games, only one OF which was
a breather-Kings Point. Whereas
they are rated strong on pass de-
tense, Dubofsky said they allowed
numerous opportunities for compile
tions last week but Marquette was
missing because of its own ineptness
not because VillanoVa was covering
the receivers or rushing the passer
Idle last week end, the Hoyas con-
centrated all week on improving
their blocking. Georgetown has beer
freely criticized for poor blocking
and Hagerty, Dubofsky and George
Murtagh have been attempting tt
do something about 1t. The Hoys
runners frequently have run into
their own blockers or have beer
brought down because of a lack o.
advance men.
Hagerty announced that 5-foot-s
Babe Baranowski, the little fellow
who suffers every minute he's on thu
bench, will start at QUARTERBACK
against the Wildcats. BaranoWsk
favored a recently fractured collal
bone in the Boston College gam'
November l. but he has been pass
ing in practice without hint as tt
the injury. In the few minutes HI
played against the Eagles, the Bab'
stood out as the Hoyas outstanding
ball player of the day.
Werder Back at Work.
Bus Werder, Dubofsky's candidate
as the greatest lineman of the season
returned to practice yesterday anc
will start at left guard against The
Wildcats. Tommy Graham, tht
Hoyas' spot runner, recovered from
the slight conclusion suffered II

available for full duty.

Federal Funds
Available For
Game Projects

The new system of allotment
of the Pittman-Robertson fund
provided by Congress will mean
a great deal to Virginia in the
way of game and forest conser-
walton. Instead of this States
share being approximately $780,
600, as it was the past year, Vir
ginia will get $135,O0O Under
established procedure this money
is used on approved wildlife pro-
jects, the Robertson fund
putting up three-fourths and the
State game commissions furnish
ing one-fourth.
Expenditures of $4,000 in the
present environmental improve
ment program of the national for
ests will be increased to $4,000.
Under this project clearings are
being made in the forests to
break the solid canopy and furn-
ish added supplies of food for
grouse, turkey and deer, which
thrive where there is sunlight.
Another important program,
for which authorization is being
sought, is expansion of the pres
ent cooperative efforts with
the soil conservation districts.
Hitherto the game commission
has been furnishing seed. Now
plans include not only furnish
ing seed but fencing and ferti
lizer to farmers who are willing
to carry out projects mapped by
the soil conservation districts and
who are unable to bear the ex-
penses involved.

around Clintwood and at var

was light and soon gave way
to the mist and fog that rose

thought that the cool wave Of
Monday afternoon and night
was an offshoot of the great
hurricane that swept the Flor
ida coasts a day before. The
frost was light, and the sun
shine was clear, SO that little
or no damage was done to
crops.
