HFRB PENNOCK AND THE PITCHING ARM SOME FEAR IS WEAKENING ARE
TAKING THINGS EASY?WATCII THE CUBS NEXT YEAR WITH HORNSRY
^ BY PHILIP MARTIN
TJERHAPS those'wise minds e~rv
trolling the destinies ot the
New York Yankees stop and
think every now and then during
thqsecold months about the great
esr left arm in baseball. No doubt
they worry some about that great
left arm. for the Yankees are
sorely in need ot good pitching
arms.
"But the owner of that great
left arm is not worrying any. The
arm that went on th* blink the
iast few weeks of the recent pen
nant campaign Is not causing loss
of sleep to Herb Pennock, the
gentleman. farmer of Kennett
Square. Pa., who goes about his
life dally on his farm, indulging
in the things he likes to do?ride
and hunt and raise silver foxes.
And. were you to be so bold as
to ask hlm-.about that arm. he
probably would make answer in
this fashion:
"I am letting it alone. My pri
mary concern now is in living the
life I like to lead with my family.
I think that when one is mentally
happy it is very easy for the body
to-toe happy.
"Of course, I hope my arm will
be in good shape for next summer.
But 1 am not working with it this
winter. . I'm 'Just enjoying life
and trying to add a little weight.
Being frail. I don't have to worry j
about getting too far during the
winter." r.
Pennock is a ij-ealthy man and j
"Tie doesn't have to worry about '
the time when baseball won't j
have use for him. But you can;
tell by his talk that be wants to j
pitch ,as Ttmg as he can even j
though lie wil^ie satisfied when ,
the time comes for him to quit.
The Yankees have cause to:
worry over Penuock's arm. His'
is the most gifte'd. in baseball and;
without him next summer, the
Yankees will be sorely pressed for
pitching. Perhaps, as he says,
l is aim may get happy, too.

MARTIN PICKS ALL-AMERICA TEAMS FROM WEALTH OF MATERIAL?SCULL,
HARPSTER, CAGLE AND STRONG GIVEN BACKFIELD POSITIONS
?~BY PHILIP MARTIN
"CT7ELL, the boss says It must be done, and being one of those obliging young men
^ " (Insofar as the boss is concerned), we've used up several dozen sheets of paper
figuring out an All-America eleven for 192S. And a second one, too. ?*,<??> ?
We're going to^ present these selections, for you to agree or disagree with, without
any comment whatever except the f^ct that we witnessed in action teams from all sec
tions of the country-except the southwest and Rocky Mountains, and that we talked
to coaches and contemporaries from all sections. .. ? "
Georgia Tech gets the nomination for the best team of the year. They havefpt been
beaten. They have a chance on New Year's Day to make this unanimous by beating
California, it they can, a team that tied Southern'California and Stanford. ' > v.?.
* The defeats of N. Y. U. and Army late in the season by Oregon State and Stanford,
respectively, and the walloping of Notre Dame by Southern California, places Georgia
Tech in a nice spot to have a claim at the championship better than N. Y. V., Army,
Boston. Florida, Detroit or any other team can make. .*? .? r -??&-- ?
? But the teams like; Carnegie Tech was the day Notre Dame was bested, N. Y. U. was
the day Carnegie Tech was licked. Oregon State was the day N. Y. U. was trimmed, and
Stanford was the day she beat Army?those are the teams this writer will remember
years after the 1928 season. '-f, _i i>~ 1 ?"III" > t
r And when all is said and done, that Stanford team the day they tore the Army to
pieces Is the team that impressed this correspondent the most this season. And we
admit to having seen the following teams in actlomat least once?Purdue,.Wisconsin,
Ohio State. Iowa, Alabama, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Army, Nebraska,
Oregon State, N. Y. U., Stanford. - "

rpo be frank, with the exception of Fesler, Pond, Harpster, Strong and Cagle, we ad
* mlt that the young men named on the second team would suit just as well on our
first team. But since a.preference must be made, we prefer our second team men where
they are.
After watching "Biff" Hoffman perform against the Army, we thought of putting
htm ahead of Scull at fullback. But we can't, for this reason?Scull has been consist
ently great all season, and before the Army-Stanford game we were,told that Hoffman
had had a very fair season' and. that Slmklns, of the same team, was really a better
fullback. ?V C <**** * '*?' fx
* Helnecke of Stanford also looked every Inch an All-America against the Army. But
Pund Is the mainspring of that great Georgia Tech eleven. A better center than either,
of these two can't be found this yeah _ ~

two teams are Franklan (St. Mary's), Barrabee (N. Y. V.), Rosengwetg (Carnegie,Tech),'
