Some err Ice. Also, page Roosevelt, layer of nature taken. - Whew! . It's brfn m warm football eeason, taking every thing into account. The old typewriter is pretty nearly burned out again from the rig ors of this gridiron campaign, bat we can't hustle It off to the repair shop, becauae Reason or no season, we've got to fill up this space. Anyway it's not Quite all over yet, because here come bobbins np the All-American and All Coast selections and what not. We don't pretend to know a blooming thing about whether they're right or not. The scribes acem to be doing better than they used to, for we note Merle Hufford cf Wash ington named on two All-Coast teams and one AlWAmerican; s halfback on a tail end Coast conference squad. . Lorn and Schwartz also get pretty close to unanimous men tion, along with Roy Riegels, Tap paan, Muller and Marrager. Some others are chosen by two separate groups for places on the second team Xow here's a question. Would Roy Riegels hare been so sure of a place on that All-Coast if he hadn't pulled that prize boner of running the wrong way and scoring for the other team a year ago? All the sport writers had their eyes on Riegels. this year, because be had achiered 60 much fame in so brief a time. If be broke through the line and made a tackle, it was sure to be noticed. If he floated back and broke up a pass, that was sure to be noticed too. If be snapped the ball with out one -bad throw in any game, the scribes noticed it because they knew about Roy Riegels. It Riegels had been a halfback, that wouldn't have made so much difference, but in the middle of the line, it's the man with a rep utation who is watched. Sport writers haven't any business pick ing all star teams in the first place, and they're especially weak on picking linemen, because the sport writer's business is to watch the ball, who carries it and where it goes. They may notice who makes the tackles, but they never know who takes out the linemen or who up?ets the secondary. That's why, in two All-Coast selections, there's pretty near unanimity in naming the backs and ends, and total lack of it in naming the guards and tackles. And in the last place, all-star teams aren't what they used to be. The idea was really out grown when Yale, Harvard and Princeton 'ceased being the "be all and end all" in the football universe. Picking the best cen ter rash and the best two tackle smashes out of those three teams was almost a possibility. The picking of eleven "best" out of several thousand, by a group of men whose business is writing and mot coaching, none of whom has seen even half of the bigger teams play, is so absurd we canU describe It. REPORT 1 SCHOOL R. W. Tavenner supervisor of Sa Jem -secondary schools, has asked teachers at the Salem high school to submit a report of the manner In which the home room system is working and of the7 possibilities that may be expected from the system. Tavenner may also sub mit the same question to the stu dents themselves. The most recent innovation in condection with the home rooms is step in the direction of athletics for all students, with the 20 home rooms In which boys are enrolled preparing to -organize an intra achool basketball league. A game or two may be scheduled this week to give the plan a trial.

NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 3. (AP) In a first round crowded with all the thrills in golf up sets, comebacks and a new course record the "big guns' of the professional ranks moved through today's opening 38-hole matches In quest of the 1929 champion chip of the Professional Golfers association. The most daizling round ever clubbed out' of the rolling fair ways and trickey greens of the H illcrest Country club course saw Leo Diegel, of Agua Caliente, de fending champion, post a morn ing card of 64, seven under par, to eliminate P. O. Hart of Wheel ing, W. Va., by the lop-Bided score of 10-9. Diegel's 64 better ed by one stroke, the former com petitive record set yesterday by Fred Morrison of Los Angeles, medalist. "The Haig" Stages Great Comeback Hardly less spectacular than Diegel's scoring feat, was the great "comeback" of Walter Ha gen, present British champion and holder of the P. G. A. title five times in the past. Hagen ov erwhelmed Bob Shave, Aurora, O. 9-8 today. Yesterday he barely squeezed into the qualifying class with a poor 14 8. Tied for 32nd place with four others. "The Haig" was forced to play off the deadlock, for the remaining two places in the qualifying HsLTwo dropped out before darkness com pelled a halt. Last night, Harry Cooper of Buffalo was ruled in eligible for pay and his with drawal enabled Hagen and his partners in tie to continue in the tournament. Horton Smith and Frank Walsh Beaten Championship hopes of two strong contenders were scattered over Hillcrest's fairways. Horton Smith, who has blazed a sensa tional trail since he came out of Joplin, Mo., last year, was top pled over by Craig Wood, Long Island, New York youngster and winner of the recent Hawaiian "open." Three down at the 27th, Smith made a "garrison finish" to square the match at the 36th but lost out on the next hole. Wood snared a birdie 3 to win. In the other upset, Neil Chris tian of Portland, Ore., defeated Frank Walsh of Chicago, 6-5. Christian, hardly figured to take the measure of a campaigner of Walsh's caliber, toured tbe course in 66. for his morning round to hold a 5 up lead at the halfway pofnt. Sarazen and Far re 11 Both Win Matches Gene Sarazen and Johnny Far- rell, former national open title holders, advanced to the second round. Farrell was pressed a bit to beat out John Golden, Patter son, N. J., 1 np while Sarazen had less difficulty in eliminating Jock Hendry, t. Paul, 3 and 2. The medalist, Morrison, re moved Joe Klrkwood. Philadel phia, from the ranks of contend ers, 6 and 4, and William Mehl horn, New York, had an easy time with Guy Paulsen, winning from the Chicago entrant, 7-6.

By TED VOSBURGH Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Open competition between amateurs and professionals In tennis can not come too soon to salt Karel Koselnh and Vincent Richards, the There is nothing of the shrink- world's foremost pros. lng violet about most profession als In any line of sport and these two great players who have cho sen frankly to make their living out,of tennis are no exceptions. They think they could hold their own with the best amateurs in the world. . They might even go ao far as to dispense with a prise and play Just for the competitive thrill If given a chance to meet the top ranking amateurs,- Henri Ooehet and Rene LaCoste of France. It was freely remarked by many of those who saw Koselnh win a hair-line decision orer Richards in the final of the United States professional championship at Forest Hill that eltner or tnem could have beaten Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter, the finalists for 4he national, amateur crown a few days before. Beating tbe French is some thing else again. Both Koselnh and Richards have the highest re spect for the playing of Cochet and LaCoste. Yet there is some ground for the belief that if open tournaments were permit ted Koselnh and Richards would cause trouble for the famous musketeers.

E TO E NEW HAVEN. Conn. (AP) Albie Booth, Yale's sensational sophomore, didn't step into the national spotlight until his brilli ant three-touchdown spurt against Army, yet he is an old story here In New Haven where he has been a gridiron hero since grammar school. New Haven, seat of Yale, In the past has supplied relatively few athletes to the Ells, but Its contribution in Booth seems of the highest order for as a toot ball player he is mentibned in the same breath with Hlnkey and Heffelflnger and Coy and other Yale Immortals. Albie's first toy was a football and he has been playing since he first was able to toddle. He put the Ivy street school on the map locally in the public school league. Later he played on the boys' club teams coincident with his atten dance at Hill House high school. For the local school boy hero Yale was the logical school, bat there were certain barriers yet to be hurdled In the way of college board examinations. He spent a year at Mildford school preparing for those and entered Yale last fall. Booth captained the Frosh grid ers. He played basketball, was elected captain of that group and when last spring he was named baseball captain ho achieves what had never before occurred in school where tradition has ao es pecially strong play captained three teams in the same year.

Recall hew he scooped np Mnrrell's mournful punt that day in the midst of a melee near West Point's goal and shot cross for a touchdown? That wasKawal's caliber in every game I Capt Boy Riegels cost Cali fornia the national championship in 1928 with that wrong-way ran, hat this year his center play has been dose to perfection.
