9 Seniors Given Places on Honor | Team; Two Repeat Clint Frank, Joe Routt Chosen Second Time; Panthers Only Eleven to Place Two Men as East Shows Numerical Advantage By ALAN GOULD ‘New York, Dec. 4—(#)—In an era of football specialists, developed to | handle the growing complexities of America’s most spectacular college sport, it is noteworthy that the 1937 All-America team, announced today, em- | phasizes the part that iron men have played in one of the most stamina- | testing seasons on record. Shock troops and specialists still figure prominently in the maneuvers F of the nation’s foremost aggregations of gridiron talent. Many played vital | roles this year by coming through in emergencies, but the all-star spotlight shines brightest on the boys who not only stood the gaff by going the 60- minute route when needed but who achievement under pressure. also scaled their greatest heights of ‘Thus it is not surprising that country-wide reports, forming the basis for the 13th annual Associated Press All-American selections, stressed dura- Dility in “major league” competition, together with essential all-around qualifications. The fact that more colleges throughout the U. 8. are, playing exclusively in their own class of competition, rather than interspersing breathers through their schedules, has put greater premium on stamina. Lind Averages 200 Pounds This year's All-American team is equipped to go the route, wtih a rug- ged line averaging around 200 pounds per man from end to end, and a back- field quartet possessing rare talent. It includes the year's No. 1 oppor- tunist, Charles Alexander Sweeney, ‘Notre Dame’s spectacular end and the first entry in top company the Fight- ing Irish have had in five years. It features experience, with nine seniors in the mythical lineup, along with two standouts who have a year to go. Pittsburgh’s Marshall (Biggie) Gold- ‘berg in the backfield, and Cornell's giant Negro, Jerome (Brud) Holland at end. Two choices with nation-wide en- field repeater, have closed careers that seem destined to echo through the corridors of football’s hall of fame. ‘White, the nation’s leading scorer produced a fine pair of tackles in Booth and Kevorklan. Guards This spot offered one of the few All-America breathing spells, with little or no dispute to the selection of Joe Routt, the bundle of energy oper- ating on an iron-man basis for Texas A. & M., and Alabama's great captain, Leroy Monsky. ‘They exploited the gentle art of “submarining” opponents on defense and blocking or blasting paths for ball-carriers on offense, Pittsburgh turned up a sophomore star in Al Lezouski. Big Ten critics praised Francis Tweddell of Minne- sota. Notre Dame's pair, Ruetz and Kuharich, were conspicuous in: the fastest kind of company. Gus Zitrides of Dartmouth, Sid Roth and Eli Hooper of Cornell, and Captain Bob McNamara of Pennsylyania rated among the best guards in the Ivy league.

Frank cut a 2- year swath through tough Ivy league opposition that marked him among Yale's all-time greats. Center ‘The conspicuous defensive roles to which centers are assigned in modern college football not only has increased the number of standouts but ‘has also made the all-star problem that much tougher to solve. Coaches generally pick their smartest, steadiest and best tackling linemen for the pivot posts. Most centers dictate the defensive formations and figure in 50 per cent ;] of the tackles along the line of scrim- m1 tt BUI oll Hd i mage. . iny.
