C ir Ol
lly Man J. (lould
(Associated Press Sports Editor) .
Joe Williams In the New York
World -Telegram takes a number of
tho football experts and nation-wide
polls over the hurdles for neglecting
to recognii-o the All -America flowers
that bloomed unheralded and to a
large extent unseen until late In the
season.
It Is. no doubt, very annoying to
tho experts, singly and collectively,
to have their choices exposed to the
rigors of an early winter and the
post-season or charity elements.
Tho gridiron season lasts so long
now, with so nnuch Interest focused
on the gamo up to and Including the
Rose Bowl classic on New Year's
day. that It would be Impossible to
consider the whole field of evidence
without waiting until 1932 to pub
lish the 1931 All-America.
Since the All-America sport, any
way. Is largely a matter of bally
hoo, linked with the prominence
that goes wJth winning teams, the
boy who gets a good running story
In October or early November rela
tively has a better chance of piling
up the votes than the l&d who
doesn't begin to pick his way
through the broken fields until
around Thanksgiving day.
Too often, however, the critics
ovttr-emphasir.0 the brilliant per
formances of the late season. They
como in the so-called climax or tra
ditional gomes in which unusual
factors are at work to bring out the
best that a youth can show. At the
same time mistakes are subjected
to Intensified scrutiny and criti
cism. As a sophomore. Albie Booth of
Yale looked to be as certain an All
America choice as any boy in the
land until it came down to the Ells'
last two big games.
Alblo dlttn't play against Prince
ton In 1929 and he never had a
chance to get anywhere in the Har
vard game. The bottom dropped
out of his All-America chances like
coal out of a chute. Yet for most
of that season Booth had run wild.
IMck A Lute Team
So it is you have heard much In
tho late season comments upon the
Injustice done to quite a number
of stars who didn't make the All
America, but who have been busy,
say these experts. In the task of
"showing up" the all -star lists pub
lished far and wide.
Possibly the answer, If any. Is to
point out the necessity of splitting
tho season, with one set of All
America selections based on the
play up to and including, say. the
third week In November; then a
second all -star edition fo include
the performances of the holiday and
post-season, dates.
Here It Is
The second -gu esse rs might turn
up with a lineup something like
this:
Ends Orsl of Colgate and Barres
of Yale.
Tackles Edwards of Washington
State and Price of Army.
Guards Hickman of Tennessee
and Sunwwrfelt of Amy.
Center Mc Duff ee of Columbia
Quarterback Shaver of Southern

Columbia Denies
Charge Carried
By Newspapers
NEW YORK. Dec. 17 WV-lumbla
university leaders, including Head
Coach Lou Little, come forth quickly
yesterday with denials of charges,
published In the New York World
Telegram;, that evidence of secret
payments to football players had
been uncovered by an Investigating
committee.
"It Is an outrageous He," Little de
clared, after reading the story which
went into details of alleged "inside"
dealings to promote Columbia foot
ball. Herbert E. Hawkes. dean of Colum
bia college, declared he had been un
able, after an investigation, to find
basis for the charges. , ;
Reed Harris, editor of the Specta
tor, undergraduate paper, and a
member of the secret committee said
by the World -Telegram to have un
dertaken the investigation, denied
any knowledge of It.
STORY FALLS FLAT
NEW YORK. Dec. J7 (v-Now that
the whole story has fallen as flat as
a deflated football, the suspicion
arises that some member of the Na
coms, a secret society at Columbia,
is a better practical Joker than an
investigator of football conditions.
Tho excitement started yesterday
with a published report that a se
cret committee of Nacorns' had
been investigating the football situa
tion at Columbia and had found al
most everything to be as it shouldn't,
raising charges that football players
were paid, that proselyting of prep
school stars was widely and ex
pensively practiced and that a Co
lumbia baseball player had escaped
"getting Into trouble" for playing
summer baseball because Yale, Har
vard and Princeton had been In
volved the same way and the four
universities had "hushed tip" the
matter by mutual agreement.
Denials began to pour In from all
sides almost as soon as the story
appeared, and wnen the "secret com
mittee of the Nacoms" made public
a letter to Nicholas Murray Butler,
Coltunbia president, completely de
nying it all. It appeared probable
that some obligingly humorous mem
ber had supplied a "good" story of
an investigation that had disclosed
nothing amiss.
The letter to President Butler re
vealed that the committee existed
but that It had made no such dis
coveries as those attributed to It.

In the voting for the concensus,

New Tulane Coach Shapes Players
With-Own Bulk On Practice Field
By Ralph When I ley
NEW .ORLEANS Tulane's
football mantle has fallen to the
shoulders of the good natured, blond,
230-pound giant Ted Cox.
Three years he has been the Green
Wave's line coach under Bernte Bier
man, master coach, who leaves for
tho University of Minnesota and
hands his coaching baton to his chief
assistant and fellow Minnesota al
umnus. " I
During the three years that Tu
lane campaigned the Southern:' con
ference without cfefeat, the line bore
the brunt of battle and opened the
way for fast backs to get through
for their' brilliant runs that .Hfted
the stands to their feet. T .
And back of thatmeof iron v?a
the tutelage of Tad hujgttrttt
his college days one of the greatest
of tackles, all -conference In the Big
Ten and captain at Minnesota In
1925.
Like Blerman, Cox Is a protege of
the late Doc" Williams, the men
tor who developed football at Minne
sota, and he plans to carry on with
the same system. t
To coach football. Cox believes It
Is necessary to show the players how
It should be done. In practice, he
may be seen In uniform crouched on
the line and ploughing through his
students. He tackles the dummies
harder than any of his students and.
so far he has not had a pupil who
could stop him.
He takes candidates for each post
on the line and gives them special
coaching in handling their Jobs. Then
he lines them up as a unit and syn
chronizes them with the backfleld.
Cox donned his first football uni
form In 1916 and made tackle on trie
St, Paul. Minn.. Central High eleven.
In 1921 he went to Minnesota and
was greeted "as perfect tackle mate-;
rial" by Coach Williams.
He played on Minnesota's varsity
in 1922. 23. "24 and "25, before the:
freshman rule applied, and was a
marvel. He weighed 210 pounds and
could run a hundred yards in 11.3
seconds.

he went to River Falls State Teachers'
college as athletic director and foot
ball coach for a year, when he was
called to Tulane as freshman coach.
In 1929 he took over the varsity
line, and Tulane's great teams sprang
up.

"All this talk about the big husky
