Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 24.—Loyal Chicago critics denied Capt. Boleslaue Rosenthal his position at center on the All-Conference football team. Three .morning paper* all publish the Chica go captain as their choice for the hon or, all praising Rosenthal, yet falling back on the argument that Pes Jar diens is a good punter and throwing the shade against the Gopher on that quality. Whereupon the question, •"Who expects the center to do any .Sticking?" CHICAGO SPORT SCRIBES PICK ALL-WESTERN ELEVEN At the eame- time all the windy city cracks unite in giving Solon the full back position and challenge anyone to dispute it. Only one writer mentions Baston. considered by many the best end in the west, on his first team. Be it said in apology for Chicago's lack of discernment in passing up the man who showed up Des Jardien mightily last Saturday, that there are some other picks that raise a fullsome laugh. For instance. The Chicago Examiner puts Mucks of Wisconsin on the first team at guard. Size evidently weighed that scloction. Mucks in the Wiscon sin-Minnesota game showed poorly. •Tb at is a mild conclusion. The same man puts Dolly Gray in at half on the first team and relegates Pete Russell to the second team's quar ter. Which close-at-home decision •raises another laugh, for Russell in the minds of Minnesota players is an oily customer that for nlmbleness In an open field challenges any in the confer ence. Just here qomes the thought that Ml nnesota, second team in the race, av erages about one man to the first team. Which brings another question, "How did the Gophers win their games?" To quote a grin at the expense of CHICAGO EXAMINER. ..........1* G. «. C.. ........':h. o .. •-. K. T.. i........ R. E........ ,Q. i •.••••• #i La ............. .••••••• R" .a B. CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

Ham ilton, Erdall and Mundy did nine tenths of Minnesota's forward passing all season. So along the line, the selections are in several spots very unsatisfactory this far north. A loud clamor is sure to arise over the slight to Rosenthal in favor of Des Jardien, who has been be low his 1913 form all season. Some of the comments follow: By G. W. Aiflioa la The Herald. "In trying to select the men who have been most valuable to their teams the writer does not entirely base his Judgment on whom he has seen, but he has also taken pains to consult with a number of recognized experts, officials and others in regard to who should be placed on the All-Conference tuam. ''Beginning at the ends it has been evident that the men on the wings have been mostly useful in forward passes and a few other open field for mations and going down on punts and guarding the wings from attacks of the backs. In these tactics Cherry of Ohio and Baston of Minnesota have had the edge on other end rushers. Cherry has been the pivot in the successful passing game on which the Buckeyes mainly relied this year for gains. He is also a wonderfully aggressive player and this also tits Baston to perfection. The latter's blocking of a punt in the Chicago game was simply one point in his favor. The tackling of the Gopher bas also been of the surest. "Among the other good ends are Stavrum of Wisconsin, Graves of Illi nois. Carberry of Iowa and Huntington of Chicago and Qulst of Minnesota. "Townley of Minnesota must be reckoned with at the tackle positions. The Smallest Baby Grand in the world Dealers usually cret $750 for this. Our Price $500 sr AO [Ljp TVnl imW NOW J*5 if- khJf ft* S "XtW*' ews rom "The position of center rusher will undoubtedly cause more arguments than the filling of any other position on the team. There are four candidates for the place. Watson of Illinois, Ken nedy of Wisconsin, Rosenthal of Min nesota and Des Jardien of Chicago. Among the critics the choice really narrows down to Rosenthal and Des Jardien. Carefully comparing the last two, Des Jardien is given the place for his all around aggressiveness, his punting ability and his wirk in the open. Rosenthal is a valuable man for any team, but the lanky Maroon has a slight call over the Go her. "Gray of Chicago figures high among the halfbacks. Then there are Abrell and Van Aken of Purdue, Ham ilton of Minnesota, Parson of lawa, and O'Brien. A. R. Erehart of Indiana and Maeomber of Illinois and Cummings of Wisconsin, all approaching the hero class. "The position of fullback is given to Solon of Minnesota who all season has demonstrated his ability to fill the place. He Is a vronderful plaver, this hoi on. being strong on both offense and defense. Few have stopped him on line plunges or plays off tackle. He can tackle with the best and handle for ward passes to the qseen'n taste. YALE LAYS PLANS FOR 1915 TEAM New Haven. Conn.. Nov. 24.—Plans wore under way at Yale yesterday for next season's football team. A large gathering of Yale's star players of other days discussed informally the coaching question and the hope was expressed that Frank Hinkey would be invited to take charge again next year. The selection of a coach rests with the captain of the team. The opinion also was held that Hinkey has laid the foundations of a sound sys tem, but that it will take a couple of years to perfect it. Under Hinkey's guidance, Yale de feated Princeton for the first time in several years. Great confidence is placed by tho students in Hinkey's ability ultimately to turn out a win ning eleven. The Yale team will meet soon to select a captain. It is said that A. D. Wilson, quarterback, and Carroll Knowlcs. halfback, are the leading candidates. Four of the play ers who started against Harvard will be lost by graduation: Captain Tal bott, Brann, Stillman and Ainsworth. These substitutes also will be grad uated: Punipoliy, Carnell, Oakes, Macleish and Carter. This year's powerful freshman team which overwhelmed both the HarvaTd and Princeton yearlings, is looked upon to furnish considerable varsity material. It was announced that the receipts at Saturday's game amounted to $137,000. MINNESOTA ISSUES CALL FOR BASKETBALL MEN Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 24.—With the close of the football season bas ketball will occupy the attention of the University of Minnesota athletic 1 THE FARGO FORUM AND DAILY REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY EVENI®, NOVEMBER 24, 1911, MUPHY'S RE-ENTRY INTO GAME IS UNPOPULAR Chicago, Ills., Nov. 24.—Troubles are piling up thick and fast about John A. Tener, president of the National league, as the result of his statement issued Saturday in which he had Charles W. Murphy "out of baseball," according to dispatches from Philadelphia. A local paper published a story showing Murphy to be a power behind the Chi cago Cubs, and the Philadelphia Na tionals and Immediately there came a great hue and cry from the Quaker citv, indicating that the league execu tive and the Chicago magnate were at swords' points and eager for the word to begin hostilities. Johnson Helps It Along. According to the word from Phila delphia, Ban Johnson, American league chief, had conferred with Toner last week especially to ascertain something of the status of Murphy, and is said to have kidded the National executive because of the reccnt manifestation of Murphy's power in baseball. There Is reported to have declared Murphy was out of baseball. "It has been frequently published," said the Philadelphia dispatch, "that Tener helped the late William Locke to finance the deal which made Tener and Locke owners of the Phillies. That Teller's interest in the Phillies is stronger than if governed simply by sentiment is given color by tho fact that he has rented apartments in Phil adelphia and will reside here alter ho leaves the governor's office in Harris burg. followers. Dr. Cooke, coach, has is sued his first call for candidates for regular practice. Although the var sity men have been working since Oc tober on the rudiments of the game no scrimmage has been attempted. Sawyer, Robertson, Stadsvold and Shaughnessy of last year's team have been lost by graduation or left school. McKeon has been given his degree and Giltinan's heavy class work will prob ably keep liim out of the game. This leaves Captain George Pynn, Dick Lewis, Hemic Bierman, Husby, Petro boro, McGearv and Croswell of last year's first string. There are twen ty-five or thirty men of last year's in eligibles and freshman teams who will be varsity aspirants this year. Illinois Appears Strong. In the conference Illinois appears to have a good chance to repeat her foot ball victories in the indoor game as all of last year's team are back in school. Wisconsin's three-time championship team will be badly broken up this year by the loss of Harper, Van Gent and Hass. Purdue has lost Oliphant, an All-Western forward. Chicago must find men to take the place of Bum pa rdner, Molander, Qoettler and Nor gen. Northwestern lost G. Whittle, one of the best men in the conference. Ohio State will have the entire team back, including Cherry and Graff, two of the men placed by many critics on the All-Western. Minnesota will open the conference season here on Jan. 16. with Wiscon i I !'*!&<. ield of "An interesting piece of gossip is be ing told hero of what really caused most of the enmity of Tener toward Murphy- When the last National league election was held Murphy was in Europe. He returned and was told the details. 'Fine,' he replied to Harry Ackerland, vice president of the Cubs, who represented the club at the meet ing. We now are the Texas Steer lenguc. 'Meaning what?" asked Ackerland, 8m I ling. 'You fellows not only have agreed to pay Tener about three times as much as he is worth, but you fell for $5,000 a year for Roy Reeves to writ© his interviews and banquet speeches,' replied the Cub president. 'We might have saved that private secretary and I would have written his interviews and speeches with my compliments. That would have saved the league a considerable sum annually.'" A Hoyt Comedy Joke. When Tener hoard of this he flow in to a rage and declared he would anni hilate Murphy for intimating that he (Tener) was making the National league pay a man to write his (Ton er's) uteraneos, just like tho congress man in Charley lloyt's Texas Steer. When Bridwell and Miller of the 1913 Cubs Jumped their reserve clauses to go to the Federals Murphy branded them as plain contract-jumpers and tried to get Tener to decry such prac tices in order lo help hold other play ers in line, but Tener would not say anything. sin. Iowa comes here on Jan. 22 and Chicago Feb. 6. HARVARD IS THE BEST IN THE EAST New York, Nov. 24.—On both per centage and dope, Harvard lully de serves the title for th© football cham pionship of the cast. Of nine gs^mes played the Crimson won seven. One resulted in a 13-13 tie with Penn state another ended with a scoreless total with Brown university. Army and Union, of nil tho eastern elevens, are the only other ones not to suffer defeat this fall. The West Pointers won all of tho eight games they played Union won all of her seven contests. But even the most enthusiastic alumnus of either of these two institutions, in his wildest mo ments, would never claim the title over that marvelous machine devel oped by Percy llaughton at Cam bridge. Those two ties can be dismissed with a few woTds. Against Penn State, Harvard did not throw her full strength. Mahan, Hardwlck and Pen nock were missing from the Crimson lineup at least part of the time. They were being husbanded against injury and for the following games that Har- it irwiwny I? HS..
