The fellow who brought the

Camp.
! had known Camp only cas-
ually prior to the First World
War. and 1t was not until Octo-
ber. 1920, that ! got to know him
well.
I once mentioned that I never
saw the great Frank Hinkey play
end for Yale.
'You didn't?" exclaimed Camp.

he was starring for Yale In 81.

on the fairway and seeming to
relive for the moment the sight
of Hinkey. "you and / have seen
a lot of football players :. some
really top ones. However, pound
for pound. I believe that Hinkey
had more explosive football in
his 150-pound system than any
athlete I ever saw"
Following Camps death in
1925. Lee Maxwell, president Of
the Crowell- Collier publications,
asked me to take over the job
for the 1895 season. I had been
writing a page Of copy for Col
liers each week for nearly 10
years without missing an issue.
I squawked loudly. but agreed to
try 1t for a year. At the end of
the year I brought in a flock OF
experts, including H. G. Salsing-
er of the Detroit News. Clyde
Mcbride of the Kansas City Star.
Braven Dyer of the Los Angeles
Times, o. B. Keeler of the At
lanta Journal and others, to help
out. This body was known as
the Golfers Board. We picked
the team for the next 81 years.
All-Time College Team.
When you've looked at so
many thousands of college play
ers for so years, the picture is
bound to become confused. But
here is our choice for an all-time
college team:
Center - Germany Schultz.
Michigan, '06.
Guard-Pudge Heffelfinger,
Yale, '92.
Guard - Herman Hickman.
Tennessee. '32.
Tackle-Joe Stydahar, West
Virginia. '35.
Tackle-Bill Henry, Wash
ington and Jefferson, 30.
End-Don Hutson, Alabama.
'35.
End-B Bennie OoSterbaan,
Michigan. '28.
Quarterback - Sammy
Baugh. TCU, '37. 81
Halfback-Jim Thorpe, Car
isle, '15. isa
Halfback-Red Grange, Il
linois, '25.
Fullback-Bronko Nagurski,
Minnesota, 80.
This team will do until another
comes along. 1t seems a crime
to leave out such men as Sid
Luckman, Otto Graham, Walter
Eckersall, Elmer Oliphant, Eddie
Mahan, George Gipp, Cliff Bat
ties, Bull Dog Turner. Bill Dud-
ley, Bill Hewitt, Clint Frank,
George McAfee. Bob Waterfield
and so many more who have
starred brilliantly 30 long. But
as the big pack has passed be-
fore us for so years. this Is the
best picture our memory can re-
call.
And as long as football re-
mains a game of heart. as well

get the Pennsylvania VS.. Michi-
gan game Of 1908. It was a
scoreless tie until Michigan's
great center, Germany Schultz,

to be dragged from the field.
Then Penn stormed all over the
Wolverines, 29-0.

WASHINGTON R-The man Gre
dited by many atomic scientists
with unlocking the door to the n.y.
drogen bomb says he would feel
safer if DR.. ]. Robert Oppenheimer
did not have custody of the ma
tion's vital secrets.
The scientist is DR.. Edward Tell
er, 46-year-old University of Cal
ifornia professor, said by Open
heimer himself to have been the
principal inventor" of the fearful
H-bomb.
But even as DR.. Teller expressed
some reservations about Open
heimer, father of the atomic bomb
during World War II, many of the
key men who worked shoulder to
shoulder with him in top secret
projects rallied to Oppenheimer's
defense, saying he was a man of
complete loyalty, integrity and de-
vOLlOl w lid COulltIy.
On the other side of the picture,
William l.. Borden, former execu-
tive secretary of the Senate House
Atomic Energy committee, describ-
ed Oppenheimer as "more prob
ably than not an agent of the So
Wet Union"
Teller said he regarded Open
heimer as loyal, but said 81 would
like to see the vital interests of
this country in hands which I un-
derstand better, and therefore trust
more"
All this conflicting testimony
and backstage account of the mo-
mentous, tortuous development of
the H-bomb-was disclosed in the
release of the transcript of hearings
before a special security board of
the Atomic Energy Commission.
The board ruled on May q that
Oppenheimer was loyal American
and a discreet one. But, in a FL
split, it said the famed physicist
with the crew haircut was a Sc.
curity risk-not entitled any more
to access to the atomic information
he helped store up for 10 years.
Oppenheimer and his attorneys
have appealed to the full Acc to
overturn this finding. The commits
sion promised a decision this
month.
The half-million words of testi-
mony from 40 witnesses ran
through the gamut of charges that
Oppenheimer had been a contribu-
tor and fellow traveller with Com
munist causes until 1912, that he
lied to Army intelligence officers
investigating Russian atomic espi-
onage in 1912 and that he opposed
an about effort to develop the H.
bomb as late as 1949.
All this was freely conceded by
Oppenheimer, who said he had
made mistakes in the past and had
once been an idiot" but carefully
guarded the host of secrets 81 have
had in my head a long time"

Carthy investigation Of alleged
Communists in the Army.
Much of the forenoon session of
this 35th and possibly final day
of the hearings was given over to
argument as to McCarthy's right
to receive secret information from
government employees. At times
there were political overtones.
