This dream eleven plus second and third teams, first ever chosen on such a broad and representa tive scale, are being picked in a nationwide poll by the Associated Press to provide nominations for the national football Hall of Fame. No player has yet been named to Ihe $5,000,000 shrine planned at Rutgers university here, but it is probable most if not all the play ers named on these three teams will be amonie early selections.

(NEA) Scribe Picks Philadelphia For National Loop Pennant By JACK HAND NEW YORK CP) The Na- linn I ioii rir lrtnlt liL a three-team squabble with the well - balanced fighting Phillies picked to beat out Brooklyn and New York Giants. Sure you remember last Septem - ber. How the Whiz Kids wobbled and the awakened Dodgers almost nipped them at the wire. How Im Durocher's Giants, with Sal Mair - lie and .Jim Hearn flinging shut - outs, surged to third place in a galloping finish. How the Phils lo-t four jtrniijht to the yanks in the world series. There has been a tendency to write off the Phils as "one time jobs of last season. To underrate the champs, that & risky business. Simmons' Loss Hurts Loss of Curt Simmons, the 17 game winner now in the army, was a major blow.. But Manager Eddie Sawyer has the men who could pick up ttose wins in Russ Meyer, Ken Johnson and Ken Ueint.elaian, The Phils should be a better club with more experience for Whit Kids like Willie Jones, Robin Roberts, Bubba Church, Bob Mil ler, Mike Goliat, Granny llamner and Richie Ashburll. They have a little more infield insurance, flill the regulars must avoid serious in jury if they re to win again. Sawver at spirit, synonymous with ihe Phils, is an important factor. Perhaps the big reason. There can be no complacency on a club that just atagKered home and lost the series in four straight. But the fire that drove them to their first pennant since '15 could be banked. Count on Sawyer lo maintain the Phils' boyish lip. Brooklyn Runnerup Del F.nnis, Andy Seminick, Dick Sisler. Jones and Hamner are the key hitters. Roberts, a sure tlre-2o-game winner, and Konslanty are the backbone of the pitching staff.
