PALO ALTO, Calf, Feb. 10
Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner. one
of the greatest coaches in football
history and father Of the wing
back system, has selected his all
time All-America teams exclu-
sively for the Associated Press.
which is conducting poll In CO.
operation with the Football Hall
of Fame.
The man whose tricks had the
rules-makers in a dither in the
early part of this century, named
three teams, going back as far as
1891 for two players.
In making his selections, he
pointed out that his first team
embraces only players who had
performed before 1926. His ex-
planation is that in that earlier
era there were fewer players. who,
therefore, loomed more promin-
emily than the stars of the last
25 years.
His second and third teams
comprise his idea of the stand
outs of the last quarter century.
He said it was real problem to
make these choices because the
game has changed and improved
so greatly. He judged the players
strictly on their college playing.
Warner. a guard in his playing
days. captained and helped coach
the Cornell team in 1894. Now
nearing 80, he has lived here in
retirement for several years.
First Coached in 1895.
In 1895, Warner took his first
coaching job at Iowa State and
in the same year undertook to
coach the University of Georgia,
travelling from one job to the
other. Later he coached at Cornell,
Carlisle. Pittsburgh, Stanford and
Temple. 1t was as the boss man
of the famed Carlisle Indians that
he hae' the rulemakers beside
themselves.
First Pop came UP with the
hidden-ball trick. in which the
player tucked the ball inside the
back Of his jersey. The play was
legislated out. Then he sewed
halves of cheap footballs on the
front of the players jerseys.
When the Indianso raced down
the field, II men appeared to be
packing a ball. More rule changes
followed.
From the last century into the
first half of this one, Warner
chooses these players for his all
time collegiate performers:
First team (up to and including
1929:
End-Frank Hinkey, Yale, 1891

End-Brick Muller, California,

Athletic Committee,
Seeks Director
By the Associoted Prast

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 10
President George Whitney Of the
Harvard Board of Overseers, today
announced the membership of its
reorganized 17-man committee on
athletics. 1t replaces a 23-man
group that resigned en- masse
several weeks ago.
Whitney, prominent New York
banker, said the primary function
of the new committee would be
to review Harvard's athletic pro-
gram from time to time and re-
port its findings to the overseers.
He emphasized it would not be
concerned with the direct opera
ton of the Crimson's extensive
athletic program.

Actual responsibility for all ath-
letics will continue to be that Of
the director of physical training

president.
Two days ago Buck announced,
that William J. Bingham. athletic
director for Is years, had re

thereafter, would head faculty
committee on athletics. That
group, as yet unnamed, will have
overall authority and will be an
swerable only to Buck, now one Of
Harvard's most powerful figures.
Bingham has admitted he was :
shocked. when he learned Of his
changed status, long after one of
Bucks aides announced it to the
press. He admitted he had been
officially informed some time ago
that his resignation was desired.
but did not expect such speedy
action.
Bierman, Peabody in Line.
Although Buck, who has final
say as to Bingham's successor, has
refused to comment on that sub

rumors it will be either Bernie
Bierman. former University Of
Minnesota football coach. or Endi-
colt (Chub) Peabody. the Grim
sons last All-America football
player, back in 1941.
Lloyd Jordan. Harvards cur

suggested. But he said he was
unwilling to accept such a pro-
motion if it was offered.

In naming his all-time teams
the veteran coach expressed the
belief that if it were possible to

What kept Lausche from joining
the path of so many youths of his
generation and circumstances?
Lausche says it was his decision
when he came out of the Army
at the close of World War I to
turn down a bid to play baseball
at Atlanta, Ga, and to study law.
He was admitted to the bar in
1920 and got the second highest
grade in the State. In 1882, he
was appointed municipal judge
to fill an unexpired term and the
Lausche political career blossomed
Shoots Golf in Low 70s.
It is an education in mass SPELL
binding to see Lausche talk to
Ohioans, when his emotions are
touched. Inevitably come the
biblical reference, the unchecked
tears that stream down sun
tanned cheeks. the vibrating voice
that deepens and thins.
He plays the violin for his own
satisfaction at the Lausche family
reunions. He shoots golf in the
low -70s around the calendar. He
works prodigious hours at his desk
and seldom gets out to a social
function that isn't on the must
list.
He has a gracious wife. Jane
Sheal Lausche. who is credited by
many with guiding Lausche's in
tuitive actions with her own brand
Of Scotch-Irish logic.
If Lausche does take the base

it is offered him-the choice will
not be easy. Lausche's sense of
duty may weigh heavily in the
balance. He is starting his third
term as Governor at a time when
knotty problems must be met and
solved.
OF course, there is the question
of money. The Lausches never
have had scads of money. At the
close of Lausche's first term he
had just about enough to set up
in private law practice, and that
was all.
AS Governor he gets $4,000 a
year. AS United States Senator
he would get $4,000. AS baseball
commissioner he would get $685.

Baseball's next commissioner may

scores that Lausche said recently

John Olszeski, who managed the
Dillonvale team, didn't want to
pay the Clevelanders because they
were so bad. Finally he agreed

never come back"
The other day, the mayor of
Dillonvale visited the governor of
Ohio to talk over old times. The
mayor was John Olszeski: the gov

Olszeski found a husky 55-year-
old with trim waistline, gray

Meek, Terp Grid Aide,
Chosen as Head Coach
BY Kansas State

Bill Meek. University Of Mary
lands football backfield coach
last year. yesterday was appointed
head coach at Kansas State Col
lege. 1t was announced at Man
haitian. Kans.
Meek will succeed Ralph Gra-
ham, who resigned last. Novem-
ber after his team had lost nine
games, mostly by lopsided scores,
and won only one and tied an
other during the 1850 season. The
appointment was announced by
Larry (Moon) Mullins, former
Notre Dame star who earlier last
week took over as athletic direc-
tor at Kansas State.
The new Kansas State coach
has been on the Maryland staff
since Jim Tatum came there as
head coach in 1947 and was coach
of the freshman team for three
years.
Second Aide Lost by Tatum.
He is the second assistant Tatum
has lost to head coaching jobs
elsewhere. George Barclay took
over as head coach at Washing
ton and Lee two seasons ago and
last year led the Generals to the
Southern Conference champion
ship and. into the Gator Bowl.
In commenting on Meek's ap-
pointment yesterday. Tatum said:
That's the trouble with having
good staff. Somebody always is
after your best man. But I wish
Bill all the luck and success in the
world and I know he'll make good
I'm very happy that he has this
opportunity to become a head
coach and he is joining one of my
very best friends, Moon Mullins,
at Kansas State. I'm going to
miss Bill. It's like losing my right
arm"
Meek was a star quarterback at
Tennessee under Gen. Bob Ney-
land and led the Vols in two Sugar
Bowl games. Tennessee lost the
first one to Boston College, 1918,
in 1941 and defeated Tulsa in the
second. 14-7. in 1943.
Coached at Fort Benning.
Meek was an infantry captain
in World War II and coached the
Fort Benning (Ga.) team to the
National service championship in
1946 before joining Tatum at
Maryland.
He is 80 years old, married and
has two sons and a daughter.
Although Meek under Tatum
has become disciple of the split
T formation, he said he has not
decided what system to use at his
new assignment. 1T depends on
what material we have. I consider
the Kansas State head football
job as great opportunity and a
great challenge. I was really for
tunate to get training under Gen.
Neyland and John Barnhill at
Tennessee and then to get the
split-T training under Jim Tatum
at Maryland.
His appointment to his new lob
unanimously was recommended by
Mullins and the college athletic
council and was approved by Les
ter Mccoy. chairman of the State
Board of Regents and chairman
of the boards athletic committee.
Eric Tebow. chairman of the
schools Athletic Council, de-
scribed Meek as "just the kind of
coach we've been seeking-a sue
cessful young coach on the way
up"
Goes to New Job Soon.
Meek said he will wind up his
work at Maryland as soon as pos
sible and report for duty at Kan
sas State about March /.

Live TeIecast Ban
Despite Penn Protest

NEW YORK, Mar. 14-Despite
a plea by Fran Murray, director
of athletics at the University Of
Pennsylvania, members of the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Con-
ference have Endorsed the NCAA
ban on live television broadcaSts
of 1851 games.
The action by the 91-school Or
ganization was taken at a special
meeting yesterday at which the
ECAC also decided to waive the
freshman rule Immediately for
its smaller members on request
Murray told the delegates we
at Penn feel that live television
offers a big boost to our public
relations. We have been televis-
ing our games since 1889. We feel
we owe it to the students, alumni
and fans to explore the situa-
ton"
The Penn games televised dec
ade ago were experimental.
I'VE are taking bids on televi-
sion for our games this year" :"
Murray said, "but we have made
no decision on the matter"
If Penn decides to continue tele-
vising its games in violation of
the ECAC and NCAA ban, Asa
Bushnell, ECAC commissioner, in
dicated the school might be
threatened with a possible sched-
ule boycott.
Schools with a male enrolment
Of 1000 or with less than $50
males in the sophomore, junior

mitted to use freshman in varsity
