The more or lean startling an nouncement by Rockne from New York that the former Army "Big Shot" how playing professional football with the New York Giants would augment the cast of present and. former Irish greats, gave the Rockne outfit claim to all-something, but sont the all-Notre Dame cognomen to the discard.

"The question of whether or not a team formed of all-America foot ball players haa been put to me several limes in that there seems to be a belief that somewhere around 1 000 such a team actually played a game," writes Mr. 'Hale from Portland, Conn. "Possibly the reason for this In thai, teams were, formed at that time in part out-of the myllilcal all -America team. As , 1 recall,, it the Duquesne Athletic club and the Homestead Athletic club, both of 'Pittsburgh, used to engage prominent men for a game which was played In Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving day of each yenr. "Tho scheme was to k!v that section of the country a n exhi bition of high-class football as well ns to carry out tho rivalry which existed between tho two clubs. "In 1901 the Homestead Library club secured a team which was mado up in part of all-American' plnyers. Tho Duquesno A th let In club had no team that year. It was hinted nt the time that the.

Tho old ball (tho l.tll!) was used for throe drives and tho new ball for three, counting only shots In a rather restricted boundary. Sur veyors with steel lapo made the measurements. Tho best drives with the old bull tho 1.62 averaged 23h yards, and tho 10 best shots with tho now ball 231.2.

There wero lung hitters in tho field, too. Cone Snrazen had the longest Bhot with the old ball ,253 yards; and Kddie Megan, young Portland amateur, and Harold Me Simdden, Kansas City professional, tied with tho now ball at 2(2 yards. It nppenrs from tho report that tho old ball, smaller and heavier, was easier to keep In the fairway another corroboration of tho pre vailing notion that tho larger and lighter ball would bo harder to con trol; or, to put It another way, must bo struck more precisely by tho expert who would achlnvo ac curacy.

This, of course, may have been due to tho mental hazard lo knew ho was changing from tho heavier to the lighter hall. It was explained that the turf was heavy and there was little mil to the allots, which accounts for tho restricted ranges. In all. the competitors placed 10 drives in bounds with tho old ball and 15 with tho now, nnd an aver age of these shots puts the old hall in the lead with 231 13-111 yards against 229 yards, or less than throe yards' advantage. This is nothing to make a dust about, I should say. Against the wind the old ball's margin doubt less would he greater In both rango and controllability.
