"Steamer barns Dtlatrare Riv
er, declares headline in C-J of
December 3. 1927. which newsboy
delivered to us yesterday. 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.
Should the league materialise, it
will mean that more boys will
have advantage of coaching and
dir&tion In the sport, as Lnke
Gill. and Coach . Huntington will
have charge of the league. Ta
venner tooks for the girls also to
form a basketball leagne through
the home rooms.

IS WINNER 6-8
First Round Completed at
Los Angeles Tourney
Yesterday
By RUSSELL J. 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.

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.
