FARM TOPICS Football Hall of Fame Is Incomplete By GRANTLAND RICE NEW YORK It was generally understood by everyone concerned of the basketball innovation. He was a master of precision. or interested that footballs Hall of Fame Honor Court was bound to make a few mistakes getting under- Too Many Stars way. Oversights were sure to occur in trying to name the first group of entries. The selecting committee, headed by Bill Cunningham, did a first-clas- s job. It made errors of omission. The two notable mistakes were leaving Brickley Charley off and not entering Jock Sutherland as one of the great coaches of all time; It w a s ridiculous, of course, to say that Dr. Sutherland didnt belong in the first 20 named. The good Doctor belonged in the first headed five, by Rockne and Haugh-ton- . He was one of the best. Rockne and Haughton were the two tops. Unless you bring in Pop Warner who invented more plays than all the others put together. Pop happens to be the author of the single and double wing that is now knocking the T cockeyed. How Id like to have a sock at that Pop told me last fall. It would be murder! You dont think so? How about Southern Princeton, Tennessee, California, Kentucky, Texas, UCLA (the team that wrecked California), Michigan, Illinois in fact all of the good teams in the game all single wing. Or nearly all. It must prove something. Yes, Rockne, Haughton and Pop Warner would have to head the list. They are the Big Three of the coaches. They gave football more than anyone else. No one can dispute their positions. But I still say Jock Sutherland belongs In the first' five. Perhaps you dont remember the time Jock made Notre Dame break off her schedule with Pittsburgh after Pittsburgh had almost wrecked the South Bend Irish through six years? Jock was wrecking most of them at that time. His one mistake was trying to overpower Fordhams great line without a pass. Jock failed to score in three consecutive All-Ameri- ca The group selected to name the first Hall of Fame list was certain to blow more than one great star. This couldnt be helped with so many hundreds waiting to be called. As my friend Dan Parker suggested What about Elmer Oliphant probably Armys greatest player?

Tests Reveal Lights Increase Egg Production Although they dont have to see what theyre doing, laying hens work better if they have lights, tests have revealed. Lights extend the hens working day. It makes it possible for each bird to eat more. But the main reason for larger egg production when lights are used is stimulation of the pituitary gland by light rays. Lights may be used profitably when the days are short.
