Else match by several everal quartets quarters to spare Jack Sharkey still leads as the oth r challenger but he Isn Isn't t 1 a asure I I sure suio tiring thing thin For Tor onu ono example Johnny whipped Jack Delaney and anol Pau- Pau Ino IIno two of or Rickard's winter win tel cards and Heene whipped paU 1 C f r r rIto ko Ito fought as well against Heeney as he did against the hard harol boy oy of ot the Heeney will have lave enough to annoy Sharkey considerably Is tho the best trial horse orse 1 ought I along alonS' in many I IThen years jears s Then there Is Knute Hansen If I Its Hansen ever made up p his h mind to ts I e fo I Iship win tho o a 1 champion champion- championship championship ship ruing graving everything he had to the he Job In do the tho tougher spots ho would bo be another barrier Ho lIo tobiz in to I Ibl bl biz fast a good and u. u a. a ter- ter terrific rifle hitter Ho has never nover been any too Loo sure of himself in the tho rougher going But But v- v has ha enough stuff to go a long way wa if he will only keep on going I At this particular moment Sharkey and Mooney Heeney still lead the tho second bracket of challengers with the better chance chane j figure in ono one I of the summer shows INJURIES AM AX TITS TILE RANKING I LIST There Is more than one system of picking king pl an star all-star or an on All All- American team I IOno One Ono Dicker may rank stars as they look upon their best dIe d d. d Id using only one or two big games sames s O H n t sl Another may figure In the tho sea sea- seasons season's seasons season's seasons season's sons son's average where the quality and quantity of the tho th schedule Is a abig abig abig big factor It to's F s always s seemed to be that the entire seasons season's showing should be the tho th main basis rather than star star- stardom stardom dom In a II few games This cuts In on the ranking of many stars For two examples ono one might name Cotton Wilcox cox I of Purdue Pur Pur- Purdue due and ond Pi Pa I l Scull of ot o Pennsyl Pennsyl- Pennsylvania Pennsylvania vania There certainly were no two greater creator halfbacks In football toot ball thus season unless the name namo happened of Yale lale In condition Wilcox cox jud rud r nd Scull will stand with any halfbacks pick pick- ed Against tight eight Big Dig Ten teams In 1925 and 1726 1 6 Wilcox cox carried the lie ball 1100

kicker er cr a good man on end enol of the pass pasa a fine blocker and a strong round all-round defensive player Ho lie had about everything overy thing a II great Lad taik needs need But unfortunately Wilcox Willcox missed mined the arvard and an Chicago games and played only a 0 period against Wisconsin Scull was hurt In tho the Penn State game ame and missed the tho Chicago and Navy games sames Rouse of Chicago was hurt In Inthe tho the Michigan game s-ame and missed the tho game Spears of Vandel ander bill was hurt in the tho Maryland l game and missed tho the Sewanee game gamo on giving day If It Scull and cox Willcox had not been injured Pennsylvania and Purdue would have drawn two of tho the best records of tho the year jear Both Doth had unusually strong teams with th thao TO two men In tho the game and both were badly missed in major engagements Purdue might easily have o won every ery battle this season with Wll Wil- Wilcox cox In shape But Dut a cracked ankle In an early game s-ame kept him absent until November Wilcox was wall another pant and Oliphant could ay a 11 lot of oC football Without any question the player who stars In tho the greater number of hard games should be given some edge over a a. player just as asgood asgood asgood good who ms m s 11 certain big games or who doesn't face the tho same hard grinding schedule Notre Dame showed against tho the Army what hat a a. ajob ajob job it Is to faco face five or six alx hard In a row More Moro than one of stars slumped badly adly In this engagement The Army Arm had greater strength under any con con- conditions conditions but tho margin was not 18 IS points It might be said that It Is not the tho players player's fault if ho he is hurt or if the schedule he hc faces Isn Isn't t tas as strong as ns some somo others 1 a is true truo enough But life Is cluttered up vp with whit luck one way or another Football Is still the big guess of sport team or individual Last year Brown didn't lose 1050 a II game s This fall Brown with eight veterans back didn't win a big game Suppose some ono one last September had of of- offered offered to bet that Browns Brown's Bro eight veterans plus pilla the rest of or the tho cast wouldn't win a game gamo against Penn Penn- Pennsylvania Pennsylvania sylvania Yale Vale Dartmouth Lebanon Leb Leb- Lebanon Lebanon anon Valley Valle Temple
