SATURDAY, DECEMBER , 1940 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN rack cE THREE Mid- West Gets 3 Places On 1940 Associated Press All-America Midlands Gets 10 On Squad, South And East Seven Each FOUR MEMBERS OF 1939 SQUAD APPEAR ON THIS YEAR’S ENSEMBLE a By HERB BARKER f Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. tration of football talent in 7.—Boasting the greatest concen- its history, the Middle West dominates the 16th annual All-America team, selected to- day by The Associated Press on the ba survey of expert opinion. is of a nationwide Led by the powerful Western Conference where Min- nesota, Michigan and Northwestern set a rapid pace, the Mid-West places three men on the all told, on the All-America first, second and third teams. Trailing the Midlands are the ‘South and East. wit! Southwest and Far W ers each on the full sauad; the first team and ten men, squad of 33, divided among seven play- est with four each, and the Rocky Mountain sector with one. Completing another si son of spectacular play, four_members of the 1939 All-America ensemble are selected again—Tom Har- mon, Michigan’s sc! fullback of the T Nick Drahos, Cornell kle, and Paul Severin, Carolina end, Serving with Kimbrough and Harmon in the backfield are Frank Albert, Stanford’s clever field general, and George Franck, speedy halfback of Minnesota's undefeated juggernaut. Filling out the line positions are Erwin (Buddy) Elrod of Mis- issippi State as Severin’s running mate at end; Bob Reinhard of California, serving with Drahos at tackle; Bob Suffridge of Ten- nessee and Warren Alfson of Ne- braska at the guard posts, and Chet Gladchuk. huge Boston Col- lege star, at center. Of these, all except Albert and Reinhard are niors, furnishing a sherp cont: to the situation a@ year ago when six juniors won places on the All-America. Al- bert and Reinhard are juniors. Selection of Elrod and Glad- chuk give Mississippi State and Boston College All-America rep- resentation for the first time since The Associated Press began its selections in 1925. Stanford returns to the ture for the first time since 1935 when Bobby Grayson was chos- en; Neb ka and Minnesota for the first time nce 1936 when Sam Francis and Ed Wideseth made the grade, and California for the first time since Sam Chap- man was selected in 1937. As chosen, the All-America team has all the necessary qual- ifications of speed, skill, brains, and durability. The line, anchor- ed by the 242-pound Gladchuk, averages 202 poynds. Kimbrough’s 222 pounds brings the backfield average up to 190. Whatever arguments may de- velop elsewhere, there could be no dispute over the right of both Harmon and Kimbrough to rank with football's all-time greats. Both were marked men from the start; ingenious defenses were designed to stop their marauding , forays, but with small success. When Harmon piled up points in Michigan’s final game with Ohio State, he completed an intercollegiate career that has been equalled by few players in the long history of the game. A superlative, powerful run- ner, a good passer, kicker and blocker and defensive stalwart. Hermon caught the headlines from the start and deservedly so. Starting with his 28-point splurge in Michigan’s opening game with California. the Gary Thunderbolt was a star in every game and wound up the season with 16 touchdowns and 117 points. This brillient display en- abled him to set up new three- year Western conference records for touchdowns and total points, both of which had been previous- ly held by Red Grange. “Even in the one-point defcat by Minnesota, sole set-back f: the Wolverines and the cnly game in which he failed to score, Harmon a heroie figure Handicapped on the ground by a slippery field and Minnesota’s strong defense, Tommy put on a great 60-minute show, complet- ing ten of 14 passes, including one for a touchdown; and gen- erally performing the All- America he i There’s no cuestion of his dur- ability. He played all but six minut of Michigan’s last five games and for the season as a whole, 433 minutes of a possible 480 even though he was used only 34 minutes in the opening game rout of California. His passing skill has been gen- erally overlooked. He completed 43 out of 95 attempted this year for 503 yards and seven touch- downs. All told he figured direct- ly in the scoring of 159 of Michi- gan’s 196 points. In a year of great fullbacks, Kimbrough stood out like a beac- on light.

Southern Me- thodist and Rice games and Jar- rin’ John responded by smashing out better than 300 yards in those three games. Kimbrough generates _ terrific driving force and no rival can halt him consistently once he tucks the ball under his arm and rges forward. He carries tack- srs along with him and is tre- mendously hard to knock off his feet. One rival coach put it this way: “Say all you want about the ng Kimbrough gets but I'll tell you that he makes as much without aid as he does with it. He has the drive that ordinary feotball players can’t stop.” A great team player, Kim- brough also is a defensive stand- both on pass defense and as line-bucker. Offensively, he has gained about four yards per plunge, and in the Aggies’s first eight games carried the ball 139 times, about 50 more than any other ball carrier in west conference; caught nine pas- ses for 69 yards: intercepted six for 142 yards; returned punts and kickoffs for 138 yards, and scored 42 points. He played 409 of a possible 480 minutes. Albert, field general for the All-America backfield, is the key man in the tricky offense Clark Shaughnessy has taught Stan- ford and which has had the Far West in a dither all season. Albert kicks off, does the punt- ing, kicks the extra points, and handles the ball on almost every play from the old-fashioned ig :p-against center Position which features Shaughnes: ig formation. He calls the plays, does practically all the passing, runs season, out << with the ball occasionally and is a good blocker and fine defensive player. A left-footed kicker and south- aw passer, Albert's amazing ual a field leader are con- ered all the more remarkable inasmueh as he never had seen the present complicated Stanford offense until Shaughnessy intro- duce it at Palo Alto last spring. In Stanford’s first eight games, Albert was confronted with eight different defenses by opposing teams and solved them all. When fullback Norman Stand- lee was hurt, Albert togk over punting duties for the balance of the season. Against Washington, a 1 game, he averaged 52.6 yards even though one kick was angled _ intentionally out of bounds for a net gain of onlv 14 yards. Although he weighs only 0 pounds, he is tough and strong as his record of 407 out of a possible 480 minutes in eight 4 hows. Franck earned the fourth back- field place only after stern com- retition from all sectors with Bruce Smith. his Minnesota toammate, among the leading challengers. On the whole, ho ever, Franek rated as the mo: valvable all-around performer on the Govher team which swept through a gruelling schedule ithout a setback. A dangerous break-away runner, exceptional- fleet of foot. Franck was a standout except in the Ohio State game when he was used princi- pally as field general. Twice during the season, Franck ran kickoffs back for touchdowns and for the season as a whole he raged better than five yards every time he carried the ball Several rivals kicked off out of o} hounds to keep the ball away from him.

Many Good Backs Good backs were plentiful all through the Middle West with such steilar pérformers as Paul Christman of Missouri, of Nebraska, Ollie Hahenstein of Northwestern, Hal Hursh of In- diana, Steve Juswik of Notre Dame, Don Scott of Ohio State, and such fullbacks as George Paskvan of Wisconsin, Bill Green of Iowa, Bob Westfall of Michi- gan, John Petty of Purdue and Milt Piepul of Notre Dame. Kimbrough stood unchallenged in the Southwest unless it was by his own team-mate, Jim Thomason, and Preston Johnston of Southern Methodist. Jack Crain, the Texas flash, started out in spectacular fashion but was injured in mid-season and never recovered his form. In the Far West, Jim Kissel- burgh, Oregon State, was the fullback standout after Stanford’s Standlee was hurt, and none could dispute the all-around abil- ity of such men as Dean McAd- amg of Washington, Washington State, and Bob Robertson of Southern California. Charley O’Rouke, great passer from Boston College, and Fran-, cis Xavier Reagan of Penn were the Eastern leaders in a field that also included George Krarcum of Pitt, Walter Matuszeak and Mort Landsberg of Cornell, Andy To- masic of Temple, Bill Busik of Navy. Henry Toczylowski of Bos- ton College, Hank Mazur of Ar- my. Dave Allerdice of Princeton and Len Eshmont of Fordham.

GUARD TACKLE END BACK BACK BACK BACK Cifers of Tennessee. For several reasons, probably Cornell's great team raninto two defeats at the end of the season but no blame could be attached to the Big Red’s great tackle, Nick Dra- hos, who-retains his All-America place without dispute. Equally potent on offense or defense, this husky 212-pounder has been a Cornell mainstay for two seasons, a steadying influ- ence on the whole team. For the season as a whole, he played 433 out of a possible 480 minutes although appearing only 22 minu- tes in the Yale game. He was a 60-minute performer against Sy- racuse, Ohio State, Columbia, Dartmouth and, Penn. There are few more consistent place-kick- ers, his record this year showing 20 of 24 attempted extra points. His All-American running mate, California’s Reinhard, is one of the greatest linemen de- veloped in the Far West in recent years. Tough as they come (he played 450 of a possible 480 min- utes in the first 8 games), Rein- hard not only is a great defensive star but a crack punter, averag- ing around 40 yards. Although he never had kicked before this season, he averaged 47.7. yards against Washington in outboot- ing the Huskies’ great punter, Dean McAdams. Three of Rein- hard’s punts were out of bounds inside the ten-yard line in that otherwise his average would have been around 53 yards. Reinhard’s coach, Leonard Al- lison, says Reinhard has the fast- est reaction of any big tackle he ever saw. He is so fast he often is in the opposing backfield before a block can be put on him. His specialty is passing on fake punt formation and he set the stage for a 9-7 victory over U.C.L.A. by this trick. Back of Drahos and Reinhard come such stellar tackles as Fred , Hartman of Rice, Tony Ruffa of Duke, Alf Bauman of North- twestern, Joe Ungerer of Ford- ham, and a host of others includ- ing Abe Shires of Tennessee and Fred Davis of Alabama, Forest Behm of Nebraska, Al Blozis of ,|Georgetown, Mike Enrich of Towa, Andy Fronczek of Rich- mond, Urban Odson of Minneso- ta, and Vic Sears of Oregon State. 3 The guard positions go to Suf- fridge and Alfson after a brisk ever has seen and that sectionjdebate with Marshall Foch Rob- has seen some very great ones.
