GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) = NEB: YORK.» Dac 27 ~=The fleeting star of all-American foot- last few tward course for the on to bLrigiten up a new gridiron ball fame, after following a W shifts toward the South tiis s constellation. Bast and West, where the paee usually major All-American honors for 1927, fromi a numerical standpoint, but the contributions of the South to the all-star array, greater than ever before, form the most striking feature of the third annual consensus, compiled by The Associated Press from the opinions of more than 200 qualified observers—coaches, officials, sports ediicrs and staflf experts who covered every sector of the hattlefront. On the first team, an eleven All-American in character tnat no college has more than one representative, the East captures four places, the Middle West three, the South and Far West each two. The All-American squad, 33 players altogether, including the shock troops of the second and third teams, reveal the East and Middle West tied, with ten places each while the South, including wthe Southwestern area, grabs eight and the West five. “three universities and colleges are represented in this galaxy. To' get an idea of how the South has progressed it is only necessary to note that it contributed only three to the All-Ame can squad last year, including one first team nomination, and four in 1925. Thus this season the South inserts more stars into the picture than it has in two previous years combined. Georgia Bulldogs Place @ Four Men On Three Teams & is swifter, share the ¢ A8 The University of Georgia is the chief contributor; in fact the Bulldogs lead all other colleges by gaining four places on “the Minnesota has three while Michigan, Army, ‘ ythical line-ups. ennsylvania, Southern California and Dartmouth have two each. The Georgla phalanx is led by Captain “Chick” Shiver, a first team choice at end, along with the South’s other representative, Captain Bill Spears of Vanderbilt at quarterback. Herdis McCrary, crack Georgia fullback, gains a post on the second eleven, while Tom Nash, Shiver’s running mate on the Georgia flangs, and Gene Smith, guard, are on the third team.

Ineligibility Deprives Caldwell Of Opportunily i But for being declargd ineligible for the Princeton and Har- vard games, Bruce Caldwell of Yale probably would have been al certain first team selection. As it was, many observes aceorded him a first team place, on the basis of what he did againsi- Brown,| Army and Dartmouth, but the majority considered his failure m“ play out the season, plus his technical status of ineligibility, suffi-; cient to prevent him being picked in the top flight. Oosterbaan and Shiver, a big majority agreed, were peers in the end positions but there wers many close contests for the other line positions, particularly among the tackles, The giant, Sprague, Army's captain, and stocky Ed Hake, Pennsylvania ]m(ler.‘ gained the tackle positions by none too comfortable margins over/ withont | yeats ago, placing two of its stars, Weaver and’ McMillin, on Walter _Camp’s 1919 All-American team and another, Red Roberts, on the 1921 mythical list, has the South had as much to cheer about as it has had this year with Georgia, Centenary and other teams lead- Y !II‘ a touchdown parade. Such teams as Georgia Tech, Alamaba, ‘Vanderbilt and Tulane have “done theif bit” for the South but this year marks a new high water, mark for the brand of football ‘played below the Mason and Dixon line. This prominence of the South, as well as the broad spaces of the Southwest, has added to one-of the merriest whirls of All- ‘Amterican selection, increasing the difficulty of picking any eleven men from a host of closely-matched and “ballyhooed” talent in 'M Joesting lllnnuqu at fullback, retain their places while fe Oosterbaan, Michigan, captain and end, returns to the wing held down on the 1925 mythical array. Joesting was decisive choice among experts lor the fullback again, although he did not quite measure up to his 1926 ce, but the battle of ballots was hot and heavy insofar as he backfield was concerned. Drury, Southern California captain and ball-carrying close to being a unanimous selection as any star but he ‘shifted to halfback, his natural position, from quarterback, in _to make room on the first team for Bill Spears, Vanderbilt's) 'nuut and one of the greatest hacks the South has ever pro-l ck ‘position. critics found 1t difficult to omit from the first tum such € d, Gibby Welch, hard-running Pnuburzh ace, gafns the other'i such stars as Jesse Hibbs of Southern California, John Pennsylvania, rated close to a par with his team-mate, of Ohio State, Nowack of Illinois and Perry of the Army.

The Smith family was usually conspicuous in the list of candidates. L It was.a merry battle, too, for the center herth but.
