Yale Lands K Widseth Wins Tackle [Demon Quint Makes Bow Against Lions, Post; Francis, Parker, Buivid Best of Backs Tinsley Only Repeater: ; Pitt’s Daniell Flanks Gopher Captain; Starcevich, Basrak, Routt Hold Down Positions in Line By ALLAN GOULD New York—(AP)—The sta beams brightest this year over the ivy-covered premises of Old marking a menaissance that is r of all-America football fame the East, in general, and over Eli Yale, in particular, threeby unquestionably well under way {n the region that rocked the original gridiron cradle. The all-star galaxy for 1936, as presented today by The Associated Press for the twelfth consecutive year, reveals the East'in possession of four places on the first team, as well as a total of 11 positions on the complete all-America squad of 33 collegiate performers, picked by in the country. careful analysis from the best This not only surpasses the showing of any other section in a year chiefly noteworthy for the zig-zag course pursued by most of the nation’s leading teams, but gi all-America recognition than it | boom times in 1929. s the East greater has known since the peak of the It compares with three places on the first team for the Midwest, two for the South, one each for the Far West and On the squad as a whole the Midwest obtains nine Southwest. places, South seven, Far West ‘Two Blues ‘Arrive’ H Thus the East, for the time being, recaptures prestige that has swung through the Far West, Midwest, and South, in that order, over the past decade of all-America history. To Yale, where the all-star idea was nourished nearly a half century ago and developed to its most glam- orous heights by the oracular Walter Camp, goes the distinction of placing two players on the 1936 team. Law- rence Morgan Kelley, spectacular captain and end of this year’s ac- complished Eli array, and Clinton Ed- ‘ward Frank, the team’s backfield powerhouse, restored the Blue to a place in the all-star firmament with @azzling performances. Hitherto the Blue of Yale, as well 9s the colors of most of the so-called “Ivy” colleges, has been submerged in the march of such mighty equip- ages of the modern game as those produced by Alabama, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Stanford and Minnesota. It has been five years since any representative of either Harvard or Yale made the first team. The last to get all-America recognition was Harvard's Barry Wood. In_ the dozen years in which The Associated Press has made selections, only two Yales previously made the grade. ‘They were Bill Webster in 1927 and Herb Sturhahn in 1925, both guards. Camp's 1923 selections, which in- cluded “Memphis Bill” Mallory at fullback and Century Milestead at tackle, marked the last time that two sons of Old Eli were included in the all-star eleven at once. Fritz Pollard Gets Honorable Mention Fritz Pollard, fleet back of the North Dakota University Sioux, North Central Conference cham- pions, was the only gridder from the conference to trate honorable mention in the Associated Press’ ; All-America. Pol- “4 he Was both an 4 Offensive and de- Pollard fensive star on the Nodak squad and scored both touchdowns and points after tal- lies in the Detroit game which un- doubtedly gave him his national rating, Kelley, the Opportunist Kelley may not be the greatest end $n the United States this year. In the South, for instance, none will concede there is a performer superior to Louisiana State's Gaynell Tinsley an any department of the game. Else- where, too, the praises of North Caro- Jina’s Andy Bershak are sung to the skies. Yet the fact emerges boldly, after full analysis, that for sheer genius at his position, plus rare Qualities of leadership, and of the knack of scaling the heights under Pressure, Kelley comes close to being in a class by himself. At is well to bear in mind that the Yales are not given to emotional out- -bursts or hasty comparisons them- selves. They have had at New Haven the all-time all-America end, Frank Y, a8 well as such satellites as {fom Shevlin and Reed Kilpatrick. ‘Only last season Kelley was flanked by one of the best ends in the coun- try, Bob Train. Yet this wise-crack- 4ng, frequently unorthodox player has Captured imagination and admiration to an extraordinary degree. By in- stinct or design, Kelley has always in his big games this year ical wed the way for Yale's winning wn in that game. He de- Pennsylvania's pass defenders .| mage, intercepted a pass and ran 75 four and Southwes blocking witnessed all season in the South, After taking out the opposing tackle at the line of scrimmage, Tins- ley got up in time to take out an- other player who was just about to tackle the ball-carrier, Milner. Not content with this, Tinsley, still in action, spilled a third opponent and made it possible for Milner to com- plete a 90-yard scoring dash un- touched. Tinsley and Kelley, clearly the country’s outstanding pair of ends, shared the popularity roles in this year’s all-America concensus with Nebraska's versatile fullback, Sam Francis; Minesota’s co-captain and star tackle, Ed Widseth, and the key man in Washington's great line, Max John Starcevich, a great guard. Francis, southpaw shot-putter on Uncle Sam's Olympic track and field team last summer, proved one of the ablest heavy duty backs in the game. His booming punts, some of which traveled as far as 75 yards, his long passes, line-bucking and tackling were conspicuous in all of Nebraska's ma- jor games. Even in the team’s worst defeat, at the hands of Pittsburgh, Francis was the outstanding back on the field and won the highest pos- sible praise from the Panther coach, Jock Sutherland. Francis gained more ground through the rugged middle of the Pitt line than all other backs combined during the season. Hipper-Dippers, Too The all-America arguments have been heated otherwise, with more log- tolling for favorite sons than any season has witnessed in years, but the selection of Yale's Clinton Frank, Marquette’s Ray (Buzz) Buivid and Duke's Clarence (Ace) Parker rounds out a backfield of talented players, equipped to put on an old-fashioned display of running power or a modern “razzle-dazzle” type of attack from any standard formation, | Frank has few rivals as a running back, averaging better than six yards a crack against the East's toughest “Ivy” competition, He hasn't passed as often as Buivid or Texas Chris- tian’s sharpshooting Sam Baugh, but he has been equally as effective when jit counted, particularly with Kelley on the receiving end. Combined with his running and passing talents, Frank called the Eli signals and backed up the left side. of the line with a brand of tackling that left no opponent in doubt as to its authority. He was unquestionably the best of a star crop of eastern backs, including Pennsylvania's Fran- ;ny Murry, Princeton’s Jack White ;and Ken Sandbach, Pittsburgh's Marshall Goldberg and Bobby La- Rue. Duquesne's Boyd Brumbaugh, and Dartmouth’s John Handrahan. No team stopped Frank. The choice of Buivid and Parker rests largely on their all-around su- periority over a number of other con- | tenders for all-star recognition. Park- | er completed three years of superlative ; Play at Duke by turning in his best season, Comparable to Francis as a consistent long-distance kicker, Park- er rated as the South's premier run- ning, blocking, passing, pass-catch- ing, and tackling backfield performer. Among such rivals as Phil Dickens of Tennessee, Dutch Konemann of, Georgia Tech, Joe Riley of Alabama and Bucky Bryan of' Tulane, Parker stood out as a more polished player in more departments of the game. Parker ‘Best Since’ Southern coaches characterized Parker as the best the South has pro- duced since Beattie Feathers of Ten- nessee, John Cain of Alabama, and Don Zimmerman of Tulane. He turn- ed in one of the year's greatest indi- vidual runs when he raced 105 yards from kickoff against North Carolina for the touchdown that broke up the game. Buivid, an iron-man who missed only 16 minutes of eight games with an average of 58 minutes of action per game, set the pace for Marquette all season. Buivid belied his reputa- tion as a passing specialist by doing most of the blocking, much of the secondary tackling and a good share of the ball-carrying for the Golden Avalanche.

The Huskies, host team of the ‘West, tendered Pitt the bid as “repre- sentative of the best in eastern foot- ball,” and said the Panthers promised to seek revenge for the three beatings they received in past performances in the bowl. Athletic Director Ray Eckmann of Washington made the selection an- nouncement and also made good & pledge it would bring a “surprise.” Were Leading Possibilities Up to the last minute, Louisiana State University and Alabama were other leading possibilities for the in- vitation, ‘ “Our intent has been to choose the team which is representive of the best in eastern football,” Eckmann said in a statement. “Although many sec- tions have turned out splendid teams this year, any one of which might have made an acceptable opponent, yet the unusually strong schedule which confronted Pittsburgh and the outstanding record it made, ending the season with a definite display of superiority, makes it the logical oppo- nent to represent the East.” Rolled Up 203 Points Coach Jock Sutherland's Pathers have had an unusual season, rolling up 203 points to opponents’ 34, win- ning on occasions when hardly ex- pected, and losing once to a rank short-ender, Duquesne.: Fordham battled Pitt to a scoreless tie.

In 1928 the Panthers were eased out 7 to 6, by Stanford; twoyears later the Trojans of Southern Cali- fornia walloped them, 47 to 14, and again in 1933 the Trojans blanked them, 35 to 0. i Steele Wins Opening Game From Tappen Steele, N.
