That lark of machine-like piny that
has characterized the Bed nnd Blue
teams of the last few years was net

Lack of First-class Men Is Big
Drawback te Eastern
Lorigue
TRENTON HAS A BIG LEAD
TtHEIlB Is little for basketball fans in
this city te enthuse ever when the
Eastern League is up for discussion.
That Is, se far as the Phillies are con
cerned and unfortunately for the entire
league In many Instances. The moguls
had n compact six -team circuit for
years, nnd nnpnrcntly the 'expansion Inte
nn eight-club circuit was n peer move.
The biggest drawback te the game is
the lack of first-class plnyers. Man
agers nre willing ta pay almost unheard
of salaries, but players nre n6t te be
hnd. Yearn nge the best In the busi
ness could besecurcd for five or six dol
lars n night, and even less, but today
they laugh nt eight nnd ten times the
figure.
Were the Phillies able te secure n
t wt .'i0"111 Players, the best bos bes
kctbnll city In the world would net be
n jeke as nt present. The Eastern
League for years centered iri Philadel
phia nnd when it composed half of the
teams, they were the happy days. The
fans SOW real himkethnll nnrl bnnnr the
players, something net in vegue today.
Trenten Way In FVent
Trenten continues te held first place.
The Petters have new run off thirteen
straight victories, a ncw league record,
but the first half is net settled by any
means. Camden Is net yet out and
Rcranten will hnve something- te sny.
Since "Sunny'.' Deegler Joined Reading
the Bears have wen four straight and
have, managed te get In te the first di
vision. What will become of the Philadelnhin
team. will in nil probability' de made
kripwrt-Jn.A couple of days. And fn.the
meantime the New Yerk situation ln.
center of comment. These en the In
side predict the Celtic and Giants will
ceblne Jind that the team te piny at
the Garden will be the Eastern
Leaguers.
If the Celts were te retire it would
put enough first-class players en the
market te make several of the weaker
teamn pennant contenders, nnd the
games would be mere interesting. Up
te date only n few contests hnve resem
bled nnythlng like Enstern League
basketball, and nn awakening Is anx
iously awaited by the fans.
Terminal and Flelslicr Tie
With three weeks alrcndy In the back
ground In the Phllndelphia Manufac
turers' League, Philadelphia Terminal
Division P. It. It. nnd Flelslicr nre still
en top of the heap, each with three vlr vlr
teries out of the same number of starts.
Beth leaders have classy quintets, and
te date have shown marked superiority
ever their rivals.
Keystone Telephone, Monotype and
Art Leem have capable teams, and with
the Institution of the "two non-empeoye"
rule should be material)'
strengthened. Dobsen Is struggling
along with younger ranterlal, although
Its former stars are still working nt
the carpet mills. Factlennl troubles
have upset the former champs. Ameri
can Hallway Express and International
Harvester nre unquestionably the weak
teams of the circuit.
Passen, Gottlieb nnd Black nnd
Twentieth Century divide first-ulncc
honors In the American League, nnd
the sporting goods five, although n new
team, in picket! te win the pennant by
many, nitneugii tncy are considerably

teams.
Several close games arc expected te
night. The P. G's tackle East Ocr Ocr
nmntewn, which crashed into the select
column last week with a scnsntlenal
win, and In the ether game Merrill mcete
Broadway. Manager Van Austin, of

SHALL FOOTBALL COACH BE
SUPREME IN THE SCHOOL?
Question Is Ashed by Teacher
'After Reading Story of
Burning of Grid Captain's
Jersey
Editor e the Tlventne Public T.eAe'r:
Sli It Is net often tlint I rush into
print, but a news article en the sprts
pnge of your Issue of Wcdnestlny, Nev.
30, censtrnlns me te meke the attempt
at this time.
The article referred te was headed.
"Captain Quits When Coach Burns
Jersey." It' dealt with the ecremenJal
burning of the jersey belonging .te the
bpy who hed been captain of the foot
ball team in "one .of the local high
schools." That ceremony bad all the
formality of tlie degrading, demoting
nnd dishonorably discharging of an of
ficer -for Mcrieus . misdemeanor In a
military establishment.
Ne doubt in a military organization
where militnry mntters nre the sole
end nnd purpose of the establishment,
suclt disciplinary measures are at times
necessary. But I would respectfully sub
mit the questien: Is football the sole
end nnd nurnose for the existence of
'one 0f the locel high schools, or for
. . 1 . -.1. 1 . .. M .. .. .. .mI
nny school high or low, or for any col
lege In this land of America'" If it Is,
then I pray ltanvcn te ncip innt school
The Coache's Attitude
It seems from your news article that
the ceacli in his omnipotence subjected
n boy te about the crudest treatment
thnt could be Inflicted en a boy, because,
forsooth, he did net report for football.
This mighty coech said the boy was
behind in his studies and therefore he
could net use him en the sqund ; there.
fore the boy did net piny football. But
"he removed the marks of failure against
his name." The coach himself says se.
But he did net report for football.
This writer has nothing against foot
ball or any ether manly or boyish sport,
but he insists thnt sport Is net the first
thing In life. There are several geed
nnd UEcful men In the United Stntes who
never reported for football.
Worked Off Conditions
That young man, or boy, rather, was
striving, according te the conch's own
words, te make up for his deficiencies
In the very things for which schools
primarily exist. And the faculty of
"one of the locel high schools" seems te
acquiesce in the conch's decision.
The writer of tills note hns been a
teacher for forty -live years and is still
In the harness. He is net only net Ap
posed te football, but was instrumental
in nrcnnlzlne the first football team
thnt ever pleyed in the school where he
l ey engaged. But, while in favor of
'all athletic sports, be wishes hereby te

STATZELL CAPTAIN
By PAUL PItEP
SCHOLASTIC football teams in
Philadelphia, with one or two ex
ceptions, hnve finished their 11(21 sea
sons. Moleskins nnd dented shoes hnve
been tossed Inte the discard nnd inter
est of the fans Is turning te Indoor
sports.
With the end of the season It is cus
tomary te select the boys who in one's
opinion have proved te be the best plny
ers In a given district. We have tin tin
dcrtnken the rather thankless job of
picking nn All-Phllndclphln scholastic
tenm from nmenr the host of schoolboys
In Philadelphia County. Seme of thec
selections might be improved upon were
suburban institutions included. But
that Is nnether story, se the Eve.vine
Public Lkdekh presents its All -Philadelphia
team, with no idea that it will
be mnde unanimous by followers of
school football.
A glance ever the field of wingmen Is
sufficient te prove there wasn't nny one
who could outplay cither. Cnptaln
Bebby Stntzell. of Penn Chnrtcr, or
Raymond ("Hoeker") Wnlker. of
West Philadelphia. Statzell always
was dongereus when a forward pass was
tossed, and wns a wonder at getting
down the field under punts. He carried
the ball nlse' with great success.
Walker, tee, wns n stnr. The
youngster from the Ornnge and Blue in
stitution wns the be&t entl in tills vj
clnity In getting down under punts, nnd
wis n sure tackle. He wns n crack at
grabbing n forward pass nnd could show
interference ns well ns any one.
SCOTT, of Frankford, and Kxlgere, of
Northeast, arc picked for the second
team. These youngsters iccrc clever
also, but net as geed vs Statzell and
Walker.
CLAUSEN, Frnnkferd High's bril
liant forward, and Hake, of West
Cnthelic. were the best tackles, in the
city. Beth were stnrs in stepping
plays directed at their section of the
line, nnd both were clever nt blocking
punts. Hake blocked eleven nttempted
kicks in nine games, while It will be
remembered thnt Frnnkferd wen. the
Interscholastic League title from West
Philadelphia through the medium of a
punt blocked by Clnuscn.
D. Beard and Peele, of Ocrmnntewn
Academy and Southern High, respec
tively, were the next best tncklcs. True,
some mny net think that Penle was se
geed, but it must be remembered thnt
he wns plnying with n losing team, and
that he had no support.
Beland nnd Whitney
At guards, Beland, of Catholic, and
Whitney, of tlcrmnntewn, were best.
The boys were stars in holding their
lines, nnd were clever in opening holes.
Belnnd, it is true, was a regular tackle,
but he was nlse a star guard. Then,
ngnln, Mcdeff, of West Philadelphia,
might be considered by many as the
best guard.
This team is net only taken from
league performance, ether games also
are included, nnd se Mcdeff is placed
en the scrub eleven with Gregorski, of
La Salle Pren.
Picking a center was a real job. Four '
boys, Butler, of St. Jeseph's; Schanehe,
Pcnn Charter ; Bleswanger, West
Philadelphia, nnd Jnmicsen, of Frank- I
ford, nil looked te be evenly matched.
However, en defensive play nnd nll nll
nreund ability, Butler looked te be the
best. He is given the first tenm job,
with Fred Sehnnche ns the reservist i
New comes the real tough propesi-
tien. There was se much quarterback
material that it is hard te tell which '
boy was best. Witherow, of West Phil
ndelphia, seemed te be the best man
suited for n signal caller. He was u
eA New Era
in Cellars
7EFORE the introduction of the VAN
JL? HEUSEN, a man had te cheese between
style and comfort in cellars. Fer the ease
of a soft cellar he paid the price of neat
ness ; and the rigidity of a starched cellar
cost him his comfort.
The VAN HEUSEN is smarter than the Lest of
starched cellars, and gives greater comfort than any
soft cellar. It will net shrink, wrinkle or wilt.
Being laundered entirely without starch, it never
has "saw edges," and does net destroy shirts and
ties. As simple te launder as a handkerchief.
There is no mere appropriate holiday jnft than a
box of VAN HEUSEN Cellars.

In making tltc selection of fullback,
a hard-running bnck who could 1c used
ns n threat, wns looked fnr. Brill, of
Pcnn Charter, filled these requirements
better thnn any one else, se he is placed.
This also gives the team the famous
forward-pass combination, worked te
perfection by Dick Mcrritt, "Brill te
Stntzell."

geed fullback, ns was Lukcns, of North
