Football

Little "Red" Riley, substitute Notre Dame quarterback, drove his team 73 yards down the field to score the first touchdown; a man named O'Boyle kicked the goal. These goals after touchdown often prove to be the hinges of football history. Southern California stormed and shunted ; Captain Cravath kicked, Morton Rear ran, and with four minutes to play the Pacific Trojans were five points ahead. Came a run, a plunge, a 20-yard forward pass, and eleven strong Irishmen got, by the width of a single point, their reward for traveling to Los Angeles. Score: Notre Dame, 13; Southern California, 12.

Meanwhile, in cooler cities, football followers hung up their raccoon coats and spent Saturday afternoon picking All-Americans. It was a footless search, for the "official" All-American is not so quickly chosen nor so authentically "official" as in the days of Walter Camp. There are 300 colleges playing football, and every campus chants for its heroes. The best that can be done is to compare the All-American teams that happen into print.

There were two such lists last week. One of them was for the Western Conference, compiled by ten coaches of that group of colleges. The other was printed in Collier's, where Grantland Rice now pontificates in Walter Camp's stead. The teams:

Shively, Oosterbaan, Friedman, Baker and Joesting seem assured of All-American reputation. When they are graduated, bond houses will seek them as salesmen.
