    Shaw Named All-American
NEW YORK UFI — Two great
Midwestern halfbacks, Johnny
lAttner of Nortre Dame and Paul
Giel of Minnesota, occupy the spot
light on the 1953 Associated Press
AU-American football team.
Lattner and Giel are the only
repeaters from last year and were
4wo of the outstanding backs —
twth offensively and defensively —
An the first year since the return
of the one-platoon system.
The team was selected on the

'Surprised'
Says Shaw
George Shaw, Oregon’s quiet
mannered quarterback, who was
named to the Associated Press All
American third team, was “really
surprised” last night when the Em
erald notified him of the honor,
after the bulletin came in on the
paper's wire service.
George was studying at his fra
ternity, Alpha Tau Omega, last
night when he got the word.
“It is really an honor to be
chosen on an All-American team,”
he told the Emerald over the
phone. He stated that the rest of
the team had a lot to do with the
selection, considering its fine sup
port through the season. “This is
just as much an honor to the
coaches and the squad as It is to
me.’’
George commented that the As
sociated Press selections were “dif
ferent” than a lot of the other all
star teams.’’ Shaw’s running mates
in the mythical backfield are Alan
Ameche, Wisconsin; Jackie Parker,
Mississippi State, and Dick Clasby,
Harvard.
Bill Bowerman, assistant ath
letic director, stated that it was
a “tremendous thing for George”
to be selected on the team. He
also praised the 1953 football
-sqaud for the fine job it di<t in
snaking Shaw’s honor possible.
“We’re really looking forward to
a top season next year when we
■#iave Shaw and all the other jun
iors and sophomores back for
action.”
When asked if he thought Shaw
would have made the team in two
platoon football, Bowerman an
swered “No." George would not
Jiave had the opportunity to show
3iis all-around playing ability un
der the old platoon system."
Bowerman was the only member
of the athletic staff that the Em
erald could contact last night for
comments. The rest of the coaches
were out of town, speaking at
football banquets.
The first night baseball game in
the major leagues was played at
Cincinnati in 1935, with Larry
MacPhail the originator.
