Although lateral passes have scored touchdowns in some games at crucial periods. it has been my contention that the pass would never revolutionize foot ball. T believe it has added just one more attractive feature to offensive foot ball, and that the lateral pass, or | the threat of the lateral, will continue | be a vital part of any well-conceived offense. ‘ Tough to Select Team. P HE selection of an all-Eastern team | presents a greater problem than the | choosing of any other all-sectional team in 1934—Tackle Justin Rukas | group because of the large number of major teams in this part of the coun- | try. The selection of this all-Eastern | team is based on my personal observa- tions as well as on information from | sources T consider reliable. While men are chosen for their consistency throughout the season, considerable | weight is given to their performances | in their most important games. | Because of the increasing importance | of forward passing, the modern game | of foot ball puts a great burden on the | ends. They must be the most versatile men on the line. An all-star end must be a great pass receiver, a sure tackler | in covering punts and a first-class| blocker. He must be able to block tackles alone. He must be smart on defense. The end must be able to stop running plays at this position and be able to prevent sweepsd ;1‘1:‘ lateral | from going aroun X p"?‘::m hnvgobegn a number of ends that measure up to these all-star re- quirements. Lea of Princeton and Daughters of Holy Cross are my se- Jection. Lea is a great ball-hawk, which makes him a real opportunist. Daughters is the best all-around end that I heve seen in the East. Among other outstanding ends are Shuler, | Army; Billings, Colgate; Kelley and Train, Yale; Minsavage, Syracuse; Ippolito, Temple; Winnika, Rutgers. Good Tackles Are Scarce. THERE is an old foot bell saying that a team is no better than its 4ackles, Tackles are the backbone of a team's defense and they must be | able to open holes in the line and be just as valuable on offense. There have been few oustanding tackles in the East. Stydahar, West Virginia, and Wasicek, Colgate, are the best pair of Eastern tackles. Stydahar is a big, fast 220-pounder who can do everything a tackle should do. He, incidentally, is the only re- peater on my all-Eastern team. He | has been a star for three years and s better than ever this season. Wasicek, Colgate captain, has played great ball this year against very tough competition. He is durable and for the last two years has played 60 min- utes of almost every game. He is an inspiring leader and has all of the qualifications of a great tackle. Other tackles worthy of honorable mention are Sarno, Fordham; Weber, Penn State; Detzel, Pittsburgh; Moncewicz, Holy Cross; Paulekas, W. & J.; Saffa, | Columbia. Plenty of Fine Guards. 'OOT ball of the present day re- quires the agile, fast type of play- er for the guard positions. Because guards run so much interference they have heen called a team’s fifth and sixth backs. On defense, the guard must be able to protect his own posi- tion, &s well as help open holes for his backs on offense. There has been a fine crop of guards. Several teams have pairs of outstanding guards. This is true of Weller and Mont- gomery of Princeton, Fortmann and Davidson of Colgate and of Jontos and Perrault of Syracuse. After careful analysis, my selections are Weller of Princeton and Fort- mann of Colgate. These two are big, saggressive players who have the nec- essaiy speed to fit ideally into the guard positions. Fortmann is one of the finest offensive guards we have had at Colgate in recent years. Other outstanding guards above are Gurzynski, Temple; Stafko, Pennsyl- vania; Kakasic, Duquesne; Russell, P. M. C.; Michaels, Villanova; Wilson, Cornell. Ray as Great Center. Tmz are a number of fine Eastern % centers. By a strange coincidence, three of the best centers in the East are on teams whose home is Pitts- burgh. Kliskey, Pittsburgh; Basrak, Duquesne, and Terbovich, Carnegie, are all exceptional centers. In spite of the excellence of the three Pitts- burgh boys, my choice for center is Ray of Dartmouth. | rugged end; Jesse Fatherree, a clever and elusive halfback, and William rass, a hard driving fullback. The lion’s share of the votes, how- lateral | €Ver, went to Big Riley Smith, Ala- S ia'c 346,500, bama’s husky quarterback and “jack of all trades.” He was selected by all the 84 participants in the annual poll. Seven Schools Represented. EVEN of the 13 schocls in the con- ference were represented. All players are newcomers to the roll of honor.

He is very aggressive, and much credit for Dartmouth’s fine season must be attributed to him. Other fine centers are Robertshaw, Navy, and Pillsbury, Colgate. Because of the fact that they are ball carriers, and have the attention of the public focused upen them, | there is always a lot of backs who get a great lot of publicity. The selec- | tion of four backs from so many stars is very difficult. The all-Eastern backfield will consist of Meyer, Army; Constable, Princeton; Randour, Pitts- burgh, and Smith, N. Y. U. Backfield Is Versatile. This backfield has all the elements of greatness. In it there is a fine field general in Meyer. Three men, Meyer, Smith and Randour, are ex- ceptional passers. Smith and Meyer are fine punters. Constable is a great bucker and blocker. All of these men are strong on defense and would carry out their blocking assignments. Ran- dour is one of the best defensive backs against passes in the country. Following is a list of other out- standing backs: Quarterbacks: Ros- coe, Yale; Murray, Penn; Sandback, Princeton. Halfbacks: Renzo, Tem- ple; Schmidt, Navy; Dougherty, Holy Cross; Morris, Holy Cross; Maniaci, Fordham; Nairne, Dartmouth; Paul and Levan, Princeton; Kern, Offen- hamer and Jaeger, Colgate; Reck- mack, Syracuse; Larue, Pitt; Zanies- ki, Duquesne; Barabas, Columbia; Stanley, Williams; Whitehead, Yale.
