By HEZE CLARK.
With only a few Thanksgiving day football games remaining on the
schedule of the Indiana college teams, the curtain is about to ring down
on the most successful year of the gridiron sport io the Hoosier State
Football I’ans in all parts of Indiana are turning tlieir attention to the
all-State possibilities and the critics are wondering how many "storms of
disapproval” they will stir up in naming an all-Indiana eleven.
Many football critic* never name a
player for an all-State place In a posi
tion that he does not really play, and
therefore, many times the best possible
all-State team is not selected. The writer,
however, in selecting the Daily Times
all-State team looks over the athletes
on every college eleven In the State,
pees them In action, talks to coaches,
players, officials and followers of the
game, and then selects the all-State team
Just as he would If all the college play
ers were on one football field and the
writer was a coach picking his team to
ester a game.
To he sore there will be some men In
guard positions crowded on to the sec
ond team when tackles are placed in the
guard positions of the first all-State
squad, but then It must be remembered
that the effort Is to name the best all
around football team combined from the
players of the various colleges.
OGDEN LANDS
CENTER BERTH.
Ted Ogden, captain at De Pauw Uni
versity, stood out as the greatest center
of the season. The Tiger leader not only
was the most perfect passer, but never
once did he take time out. Ogden Is the
fK*t?st center and surest tackier of any
center on any eleven In the State. He Is
a man with real football brains. Ogden
matched against Weaver the Centre Col
lege (Ky.) man named by Walter Camp
as all-American center iast year, out
played Weaver. Ogden Is easily the first
choice for center.
Coach Pat Page at Butler had an
evenlv balanced team which won most
of its games, but Pnge developed but
one star who was really close to all-
State caliber, and that man was H. Dut
Times All-State College Selections
First Choice. Position. Second Choice.
E. Anderson (Notre Dame)... Left End Ecklund (Valparaiso)
Risley (Indiana) Left Tackle Shaw (Notre Dfime)
Birk (Purdue) Left Guard Smith (Notre Dame)
Ogden (De Pauw) Center H. Duttenhaver (Butler)
F. Coughlin (Notre Dame).. RightGuard Mumby (Indiana)
Mllstead (Wabash) Right Tackle Clay poo! (Purdue)
Hannv (Indiana) Right End Kiley (Notre Dame)
Mathys (Indiana) Quarter Back Kingsolver (Franklin)
Girp (Notre Dame) Left Half Minton (Indiana)
Barry (Notre Dame) Right Half Galloway (De Pauw)
Kyle (Indiana) Full Back Thompson (Wabash)
tenhaver, who is named as the second
best center tu Indiana. Larsen, Notre
Dame, and Stanwood of Purdue, are,both
shifty middle meu who can pass and who
are aggressive. Pierce of Indiana is a
big man, by far tbe largest center man
in the State, but the day when size ma le
centers the best players is past and
smaller men who move fast seem to be
the type used by the most successful
teams. Pierce is a good passer.
Four ♦ackle* appear to be far ahead
of tbe other line men playing guard and
tackle, and these four athletes are named
as the guards and tackles on the All-
State.
Birk, the aggressive Purdue tackle
star, Is named as a guard, and F. Cough
lin, the giant Notre Dame line man. Is
selected as the other guard. Itisley, In
diana's man wltn the educated toe that
booted a piace kick against Notre Dame
and defeated Purdue and Northwestern
with pia-e kicks, is named as the left
tackle. Mllstead, the giant Wabash
tackle. Is without question one of the
best line men playing in the State end
the big athlete deserves a tackle position
on the all-State team. Ml-'stead is not
only a terrific charger but he has speed
with his height and weight and dashes
down the th Id like an end.
OTHER STRONG
STATE LINEMEN.
Mumby of Indiana, and Smith of Notre
Dame ere men who played guard for
their colleges during the season and they
are placed cn the second mythical eleven.
Smith's speed at getting down under
punts makes him one of the best guards
in the West, but he would not be equal
to either Coughlin or Birk. H. Ander
son of Notre Dame Is another aggressive
guard. Johnson, the giant Karlham
B n:, rd. deserves honorable mention.
McCaw, named by many critics as AU-
Couference guard. Is not as good a line
man us his team-mate, Mumby, in tho
opinion of the writer. McCaw is a high
grade line man, but the men named ou
the first and second all-State teams, the
writer believes, are better. Aul of Wa
bash is a tackle who plays bard til the
time. Van Devoort, the big De Pauw
tackle, failed to perform well In the Wa
bash game because of an Injury to his
shoulder received early in the contest,
but In ell other games he showed as a
strong, aggressive Hue man.
Omer and Sawyer of Valparaiso Uni
versity are powerful line men. Shaw of
Notre Dame and Claypool of Purdue are
named as the second all-State tackles.
Schell of Butler Is another aggressive
tackle who deserves mention. Shaw of
Notre Dame had his brilliant games and
no doubt will make a strong bid for
first all-State honors next fall. Cash of
Wabanh, a guard, deserves special men
tion because of his size and fighting
Qualities.
At end the play of E. Anderson stamps
him at the best of the wing men. The
Notre Dame end was fast under punts
and forward passes, a sure tackier and
a power on defense. It is a close choice
between Hanny of Indiana and ICiley
of Notre Dame for the other first team
end position; but the play of Hannv on
defense is slightly stronger than that of
Kilc7 and the Indiana man Is selected
as an all-State end. He is also a line
plunger of ability when called back for
a buck.
Ecklund, younger brother of the fam
ous Minnesota tackle, is playing with
Valparaiso and he is given second all-
State end. Ecklund, tall and a sure
handler of forward passes, has the ad
vantage of being one of the best place
kickers and punters in th* West.
AMONG THE OTHER
STAR WING MEN.
Mendenhall of De Pauw deserves
special mention. Coach Buss developed
far better ends this season than last
Tear at the Tiger school. Stasand, the
tall Wabash end, wus unlucky in hand
ling passes in the game against De Panw, !
but the tall athlete is one of the best 1
man in his position In the State, espe
cially on defense. In Strohl the Frank
lin College team had an end that would
class with many on the big teams. No
end cou'd go down tile field faster on
punts or tackle surer or harder. Goheen j
of Valparaiso is another defense star, i
and Carmen of Purdue is a high-class
end man. as be proved in tho Indiana -
game. Bookont, the Earlham star end
man, deserves special mention for his
defensive play.
With a line that would equal any that
could be selected In the West, the all-
Indiana team is fortunate in having one
of the best quarter backs in tho coun
try Last year the play of Mathys was
a disappointment in many of the hardest
games, but not so this season. Tba lit
tle Indiana field general handled his team
la t way that should make him class with
the best quarter backs in the great col
lege sport. He can drop kick, nnd his
defensive play, especially at breaking up
forward passes hi the Notre Dame and
Purdue games, earns him the all-State
quarter position.
Once in a while there appear* on a
team which is far from strong a player
who Is the superman of his school, and
without whom the team would have won
almost no games. Such a mau was
Kiugsolver, the Franklin quarter back.
Kingsolver, speedy, a sure passer, a drop
kicker and wonderful open field runner,
was also a defensive star and a real field
general. On a team of higher rating
he surely would have won his way to
greater honors. He was the marked man
in every game Franklin played. King
solver Is named as the second best quar
ter back in the State. Brandy of Notre
Dame, a great field general and forward
passer, la given special mention. Tho
play of Brown, the Butler quarter, was
an Important factor In that team's work
until late in the season, when tbe little
star suffered a broken leg in the Frank
lin game. Macklin, the Purdue quarter,
was a good passer and possessed of ex
ceptional generulship.
GirP DESERVES
HIGH HONORS.
George Gipp of Notre Dame, is so far
ahead of other back field men In this
State and In fact In oil parts of the
country. He not only dc-servea his posi
tion as the best half back in Indiana,
but should be named as a half back on
the All-American team. To say that
Glpp, king of tbe forward pass game,
was one of the greatest open field run
r.ers in the country Is putting It mildly.
When Indiana played Notre Dacie the
Bloomington athletes played Gipp, and
when Gipp left the game Barry entered
and advanced the ball for a series of
gains that won for Notre Dame. Barry
is given the other first ail-stat* half
back position because of his super ball
carrying ability In the pinch. Mohardt,
another Notre Dame half back. It given
honorable mention and classes with the
best backs. He la strong ou defense and
gave Gipp good interference. Barry was
Coach Kockue's ace In the hole, however,
when Notre Dame faced trouble.
Minton, the star half back at Indiana
and the speedy Galloway of De Pauw, are
, named as the second team all-State half
! backs. Galloway’s long droy kick won
the De Pauw victory over Wabash with
! only about one minute to play and Gat
b-way is one of tho best open field run
ners in the West.
What of Williams of Indiana? That
question has worried the coaches at
Bloomington and l as caused more com
ment than any other question of the
10130 football season. In .Sh.rldan High
■School Williams for four years w*s the
best high school half back In the state.
, The big blonde-haired athlete last year
. was an all-State college selection by all
critics. Early this year Conch Stlehru
seemed to be building bis team around
Williams and then eometbing kap
j pened. Williams no longer was beard
!of as the star of every game. William*
| failed to show the all-State stuff in the
1 big games this year. The writer does
: nto pretend to explain why Williams was
: not the player that every critic expected
i him to be during tbe 1920 season, but
! there have been other player* who have
l shown wonderful stuff for a year or o
in college and then dropped back In the
I later years of their athletic efforts. Just
another one of those unexplainable
slumps seems to fit Williams' case.
BLTLE& HALF
| COMING BTKONO.
McCafflin of Butler is a shifty back
! field man and galued much ground for
bis team. Another season he will De In
tho ail-State class. Eugiebard of Rose
Poly Is a real half back when he 1* go
ing good, but he had little chance this
seasou, for Bose Poly failed to play real
| football. Rate of Purdue was a valti
able man for hts team and his kicking
made Purdue many yards.
r l hfee great full backs played In the
| State this season. Dandaiet If Valpa
raiso was probably the best, but he was
i Injured in the Harvard game and be
; was never able to play up to standard
again. Dandaiet was knocked out tho
first down of the De Pauw game and
ee-nt to the side lines with a twisted
j knee.
The best full back who played con
sistent football from start to finish of
the season, always fast and reliable, was
Kyle of Indiana. He Is everything a
real full back should be and Is named
as the best man playing that position
In the State. Thompson, the aggressive,
; fast charging, heard-tackling Wabash
College captain. Is given Second all-
I tate full back place. W. Kiser, who
has been elected as next year's Butler
; captain. Is giVen honorable mention as
a full back. Murphy of Purdue is a
clever player, but a little light for full
, back. Wynne of Notre Daino displayed
good form and Castner also.
Schmidt, playing his first year at De
Pauw, 1b among the best defensive men
among tbe full backs, but he lacks ex
perience and does not come through with
the brilliant offense that Is expected of
nn all-State mun. Schmidt, however, Is
one of the most promising back field
men on any college team In tho Btate
and is bound to improve with experience.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1920.
NEW PLAN FOR
BASKET MEET
Regional Title Play to Elimi
nate Gjcjnd on Contestants
in H. S. Tourney.
Having assurance that the 1921 State
high school basket-ball championship
tournament will carry an entry Hat of
approximately 600 team* and that this
Jump would Increase the wear and tear
of tournament play, as It has been held
in the past, the board of control of the
I. EL S. A. has decided on a change of
program.
The State will be divided into four
regions for the tournament play, each
region to hold eight sectional tourneys
on March 4 and 6. Completion of this
sectional play will leave thirty-two beams
in the running, eight from each of four
districts.
Then, on March 12, these thirty-two sec
tional winners will be' divided Into two
groups of sixteen each, and tournaments
will be held, probably at Indiana and
Purdue Universities.
One round of game* will be played
in this series, causing the elimination
of sixteen of the thirty-two sectional
champions, and leaving the remaining
sixteen to play In tho State tournament
finals at the State Fair Grounds Coliseum
in this erty on March 18 and 19.
Centers for the play have not yet been
announced, but the board of control
plana to get this matter straightened out
in a short time, as this year's tourna
ment will be better and larger than any
ever conducted by the I. H. S. A. A.,
the biggest high school atehletlc asso
ciation In the world.
It has not been definitely decided that
Indiana and Furdue will accept the re
gional championship games, but negoti
ations are under way and something defi
nite will be week.
The Idea of the board lu rearranging
this tournament plan was to get away
from the plan of having one team play
perhaps three or four guinea In one day.
probably on tbe day It play* for the
State laurel*. This is not only a phys
ical drawback for the youngsters but
It also takes speed out or the playing.
This year the chnraplonshlp team will
Clay nine five days. Four will
a played In tbe sectional*, one In the
regional play and four in tne final play
here. No team will play more than two
games In one day. This present sched
ule will take care of 612 teams, with
game* played as mentioned.

In the movement to solve the problem.
There la no conflrmut'on of the re

Harvard Coach Suggests
Forward Pass Be Curbed
of Basket-ball Tendency
BOSTON, Nov. 23.—A suggestion for
curbing the forward pass, to prevent de
velopment of present day football into
a game more nearly resembling basket
ban, baa been advanced by Percy D.
Ilaugbton, founder of Harvard’s grid
iron coaching system. "Instead of hav
ing an incompleted forward pass revert
to the team which started tba play, make
a forward pass blocked behind the
throwers’ line of scrimmage subject to
recovery by opponents under the stme
condition as a blocked kick,” is Huugh
ton’s idea.
"If you allow the blocked forward pass
to be recovered behind the line of
scrimmage, ns a blocked kick I*. you
force tho offense to protect the thrower
just ns it must protect the kicker," said
Haughton. "Instead of having five meu
eligible to receive a puss, and tn a dan
gerous position, you will have but three,
possibly two.
“Why restrict the forward pass? It la
not football, and gradually the game will
stray farther away from tbe fundamental
aspects arid become a combination of bas
ket-ball aud baseball.”

CIGARETTES
CLOSE OF PREP
GRIDIRON CARD
Tech and Shortridge Meet To
morrow to Decide City
Championship Honors.
A full-fledged grid fight between Short
ridge and Technical on Irwin field, Irv
ington, tomorrow afternoon will bring
to a close the 1920 high school football
season In Indianapolis. And a highly
successful season it has been.
Football waa an entirely new subject
to men in the Indianapolis high schools,
coaches exeopted, this year, but when
the school board ruled that the grid ban
of thirteen years should be lifted, pupils,
faculty and alumni swung together in
trying to make the game a success in its
Infancy, and they have certainly suc
ceeded, if such a thing is possible.
fciome high-class football teams have
been turned oat nt Manual, Shortridge
nnd Tech this season, regardless of the
fact that the majority of those youths
are playing a game that a few short
weeks ago they had hardly heard tell of.
Tho race between the three local teaui9
has been close, and tomorrow It will be
decided whether the three of them stack
up even-all, oi whether Tech has the best
eleven of the lot.
Tech has already defeated Manual, and
Manual has defeated Shortridge, there
fore, If Shortridge can defeat Tech to
morrow afternoon. It will bo one won
and one lost for everybody.
Th# fact that Tech beat Manual and
Manual beat Shortridge is not causing
any great deal of talk among the follow
ers of the three teams. It is a certainty
that th# Manual lads fumbled when they
played Tech, whereas they were playing
great football, the kind that would have
made Tech show more than It ever has,
the day Shortridge went down In a heap.
Te h lost to Sheridan a few days ago,
while Manual defeated Sheridan before
the Manual-Tech game.
Tech, of course, is tomorrow’s favorite,
but If Coach Julius has his Shortridge
combination In shape for the fray and If
they hit Tech’* line as hard as they hit
th* Manual forward wall, the Green and
White machine certainly will have to
work to win.
if Tech beats Shortridge tomorrow,
therehy winning the city championship,
Iho Board of School Commissioners will
present tbe Green and White athletes
wbh a aiiver loving cup. But if Short
rtdge beats Tech, thereby tying the city
race, the cup will remain in the offices
of the school board.
This school board award will be mad*
ro the winners of the city championship
each year, unless the race end* in a tie.
In eueaktng of the high school football
situation. President Crfppln stated: "The
utmost ralrnesa and sportsmanship has
been displayed by players and students
In the two games played this fall and we
are certain that the board made uo mis
take in putting football back In th#
schools even in the fac* of some oppo
sition."

WABASH SQUAD
BUSY DRILLING
FOR MARQUETTE-
Scarlet Determined to Bolster
Prestige in Indianapolis
Game Thanksgiving.
BRUSH UP ON SIGNALS
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 23.
Coach Pete Vaughan’s Wabash College
grldders staged a snappy practice today,
the next to the last before the big clash
with the Marquette University eleven at
Indianapolis Thanksgiving day. The
Scarlet warriors came out of the De Pauw
contest with only minor bruises showing
and will be in good physical trim Thurs
day.
The record of the Marquette team in
dicates that the Milwaukee Irish have a
formidable outfit and it means that Wa
bash is facing another big task. How
ever, the Scarlet clans are anxious to
score another victory in order to make
up for the close defeat at the hands of
De Pauw, and Indianapolis fans are sure
to see a whale of a game.
Marquette, according to report*, is
strong with the aerial game, and Coach
Vaughan is instructing his defense men#
to meet It. He believes Ms line will hold
up under the Irish attacks and therefore
is giving the backs most of his attention.
The coach also lawgiving the squad
plenty of signal practice because a few
of the men displayed a little signal rustl
nesa against De Pauw and the offense
of the team naturally was hampered. The
attack of fumble-ltis which occurred in
the De Pauw game still remains unex
plained. but the players promise that
they will give more attention to clinging
to the ball when they stack Into Mar
quette in Indianapolis Thursday.
Vaughan today announced the officials
for the game as follows: Hutchins, ref
eree; Ingersoli, umpire; Maloney, head
linesman.
Due to the fact that Indianapolis has
not had Thanksgiving day football enter
tainment for several seasons there are
indications that the Marquette-Wabash
contest will be well attended. It is rated
Marquette's big game of the season and
that school will have a flock of follow
ers on hand.
