THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1934 ALABAMA, STANFORD, MINNESOTA ELEVENS| GIVEN TWO PLACES Navy’s Borries, Rice’s Wallace and Stanford’s Grayson Complete Backfield SOUTH DOMINATES CHOICE Barclay, North Carolina, Hart- wig, Pitt, Picked for Guard Positions New York, Dec. 1.—(?)—As seem- ingly befits the performances of the three outstanding undefeated college football teams of the 1934 season, the individual stars of Minnesota, Alaba- ma and Stanford capture the major portion of All-America honors award- ed Saturday in the tenth annual As- tociated Press concensus selections. Each of these tremendously power- ful aggregations, dominant in their own gridiron bailiwicks, gains two places on the all-star eleven. The re- maining five positions go to individual heroes of North Carolina, Rice Insti- tute, Texas Christian, Pittsburgh and the Naval Academy after one of the keenest battles ever waged for mem- ership on the football roll of honor. Despite Minnesota's clearcut rank- ing as the nation’s No. 1 college team, by an overwhelming vote of the ex- perts and a substantial preponderance of evidence, sectional honors pass from the Middlewest to the South which combines with the rugged Southwest sector to land a leading share of All-America places for the first time in history. The first eleven includes three from the Old South, besides two from the Texas area and two each from the East, the Middle- ‘west and the Pacific Coast. Just Take the Gophers Magnificent team performances, such as those registered by Minne- sota, Pittsburgh, Alabama and Stan- ford—the nation’s “Big Four”—as well as by Ohio State, Rice, Colgate, Tem- ple, Columbia and Louisiana State all ‘were due to the combination of splen- did material, spirited teamwork and fine coaching. Nowhere in the country was the pace any swifter or the sectional bat- tle any harder fought than in the Southwest. Such great teams as Rice, Southern Methodist and Texas rose to heights of intersectional con- quest “on the road,” only to be top- pled in their own bailiwick by out- fits that refused to be impressed by reputations or past performances. Similarly in the East, which also pro- duced an exceptional number of out- standing teams this year, the fratri- cidal strife was conspicuous with Navy, Syracuse and Princeton all be- ing knocked from_ the unbeaten ranks on one afternoon. Larson, Lund Chosen Although Minnesota's. Lund, cap- tain and individual dynamo of the team, and Frank (Butch) Larson, a great end, are the choices for first All-America honors this year, the Galloping Gophers are considered by many unprejudiced observers as the nation’s all-star aggregation, in toto. Among the teams Minnesota has played, only Pittsburgh can offer any- thing resembling a rebuttal. Against the Panthers, who led the Gophers for three periods, Bill Bevan was an All- America guard and Stan Kostka an All-America fullback. On other oc- casions, the flashy Julius Alphonse and the two Minnesota tackles, Bengt- son and Widseth, the latter one of the year’s sophomore's sensations, were outstanding but over the stretch of probably the greatest campaign in Gopher history the laurels go mainly to Lund, now a two-time All-Amer- ica ace, and the brilliant Larson. Lund, for purposes of balancing the mythical lineup, occupies the fullback position in a backfield com- bination consisting otherwise of Stan- ford’s Grayson, the best all-around back on the Pacific Coast; Fred (Buzz) Borries, the Navy's superlative passing and running back; and Wil- liam (Bill) Wallace, triple threat ace of the Southwest and sparkplug of the Rice team. All four of these stars had consis- tently great seasons against the voughest kind of opposition. Injuries forced Grayson to yield the spotlight 4n the coast’s “big game” to Arleigh ‘Williams, brilliant California back, but the Stanford star was the better player over the route. Borries was the spearhead of the Navy attack that licked such fine teams as Colum- bia and Notre Dame. Even in the Navy's rout at the hands of Pitts- burgh’s powerhouse, Borries stood out and Panther coaches paid him the tribute of being the best back they encountered all season. Wal- lace outshone a flock of fine backs, including Purvis and Carter of Pur- due, Hilliard of Texas and Wilson of Southern Methodist, besides put- ting up an heroic performance in his team’s first defeat at the hands of Wexas.Christian’s stalwarts. Second String Strong ‘There's not much margin, however, between these four and the second team backfield combination of Wil- liams, Jay Berwanger of Chicago, Dixie Howell of Alabama and Izzy ‘Weinstock, Pittsburgh. Williams, like (Grayson, is given the quarterback po- sition, not alone because versatility makes it easy for them to take over the role of team direction, but because of a decided dearth otherwise of out- standing querterbacks. But for in- juries that kept him out of the Ohio State game altogether and helped any lineup, ~ It's difficult to omit the spectacu- Jar Howell from the top-ranking line- up which already includes two of his team-mates in Captain Bill Lee at of Tulane and Abe Mickal of Louisiana State. Three of the East's standout teams, \ ‘Pittsburgh, Colgate and Princeton, each enough backfield talent Lund, Larson Named on Associated Press All-American Selection ~~ @ consequence, few stood out consist- ently although Izzy Weinstock play- ed a great game all season at full- back for Pitt, along with the shifty Mike Nicksick and the. resourceful Miller Munjas, a superlative kicker. Princeton's speedy Garry LeVan was the best of the Tiger ball-carriers, while Gene Kern, Marty McDonough and Don (Bull) Irwin alternated in featuring Colgate’s dazzling attack. Plenty of Ace Backs Pop Warner is convinced he has @ successor to such heroic figures as Jim Thorpe and Ernie Nevers in Dave Smukler, sophomore fullback of the unbeaten Temple team. High praise went to such other outstanding east- ern backs as Bill Shepherd of West- ern Maryland and Alphonse (Tuffy) Leemans of George Washington Uni- versity, with many capital city critics either of these stars the all- around equal of Navy's Borries. Two of last year’s all-America aces, Jack Buckler of the Army and ‘Cotton Warburton of Southern Cali- fornia, dropped from the top-ranking list although still displaying raz ability. Warburton, his star obscur- ed on a losing team, was rated by some coast observers as even beit:r than in 1933. Buckler, handicapped by a leg injury, nevertheless contin- ued to carry the brunt of an Army attack that lost some of the sharpne:: it showed last year. Other backfield men who earned high recommendations during the season include Washington State, the versatile Ha- waiian; White of the Colorado Ag- gies, Sobrero of Santa Clara, Ham- ilton of Stanford, Whitehead of Yale, ‘Switzer of Cornell, Cardwell of Ne- braska, Clark of the Navy and Shake- speare of Notre Dame. The battle for end positions was won by Minnesota's’ rangy Larson and Alabama's brilliant Hutson, ac- claimed the best of a long line of all- Star southern flankmen, only after a Close three-cornered race in which James (Monk) Moscrip, Stanford junior, supplied the chief opposit: Moscrip outranked all the ends on the west coast by a wide margin, in- cluding Brick Morse of Oregon, but he lacks the experience of Hutson and Larson, two of the main reasons for the big seasons enjoyed by Ala- bama and Minnesota. Hutson, a speed merchant, was a constant threat as ball-carrier as well as a sensational pass receiver. The East contributed a number of fine ends to the debate, with Lester Borden of Fordham perhaps the best of the lot. Colgate had two splendid wingmen in Bogdanski and Billings.
