Six juniors and two sophomores joined 14 seniors on the Associated Press annual All-Southeastern of- fensive and defensive squads. Tech placed seven of its unde- feated, untied Engineers on the team; Tennessee, runner-up for the SEC title, placed five; Ala-« bama three; Florida and Georgia two each, and Mississippi, Ken- tucky and Mississippi State one each. Auburn, Vanderbilt, Tulane and Louisiana State each placed men on the second and third teams. Tech, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama are among the top 10 teams in the nation and each is set for a bowl appearance New Year’s Day. Tech and Mississippi will tangle in the Sugar Bowl, Tennessee will play Texas“in the Cotton Bowl, and Alabama will meet Syracuse in the Orange Bowl. Florida also is a bowl team, signed to play Tulsa in the Gator Bowl. The all-star offensive backfield has Mississippi State’s record - smashing Jack Parker at quarter- back; Tech’s Leon Hardeman and Alabama’s Bobby Marlow at half- back, and Tennessee’s Andy Kozar at fullback. Parker set a new SEC scoring record of 120 points. Offensive end posts went to the same pass - snaring experts who filled the berths in 1951 -- Harry | Babcock of Georgia and Steve | Meilinger of Kentucky. Others on the offensive platoon | are tackles Kline Gilbert of Mis- sissippi and Hal Miller of Tech, guards John Michels of Tennessee and Jerry Watford of Alabama, and center Pete Brown of Tech.
