(Associated Press Sports Editor)
NEW YORK (AI'J-As n tribute
to the fertile football plains that
produced such consistently brilliant
teams as Notre Dame and I'urdue. t
thi Middle West takes the lion's'
ch.iro of honors in the fr'lfth An- i
ittial Ail-American consensus. Com- '
Jilled by the Associated Press from !
expert nation-wide opinion and
Jiuiito public today. !
On the first team, the "shock!
troops" of an All-Amerimn squud
of 33 players, five represent the
Middle West, four the East, one
t t h the South and Pacific coat.
f i'iLUUui''U juJ -uinr i-'aiHe tv v
of the finest aggregations r the
year, each sained two places on
the mythical eleven, a distinction
no team In the country has been
accorded In the consensus slnco
Dartmouth ptacea three men on
the first team of 1925.
The East manifested strength in
the squad as a whole by collecting
12 out of the 33 places, with nine
going to the Middle West, six to
the South, five to the Far West and
one to the Southwest.
In the nation-wide pull of opin
ion taken by the Associated Press,
215 experts contributed their views.
They represented newspaper sports
editors and writers, Associated
Tress staff observers, officials and
coaches in every section . of the
country. There was not an im
portant game anywhere, scarcely
a spectacular, feat recorded In any
noteworthy college contest which
was not- "ooycLcil'.'. orstifdicd by,
some one or more of these experts.'
The .resulls of the consensus
show a distinct drift In Hie "class"
of football tulen for the season of
U2!i at least, to the Middle West,
in contrast with the powerful show
ing of the Fnr West In 1928. On
the whole it was distinctly a "Mid
Western Year," with such teams as
Purdue and Notre Dame leading
the purnde most of the way, while
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Minnesota registered noteworthy
lntersectionul triumphs to add to
tho prestige of the Big Ten group.
Siar players of one of tho most
spectacular . of all college cam
paigns stood out as conspicuously
as did the select few teams. No
All-American selective process is
safe from debate of the groggiest
variety; nevertheless the consen
sus Indicated little doubt about the
majority of contenders for honor
positions. ;
Thfeo of the players on the team
were overwhelming choices Frank
Caridco. Notre Dame's great quarr
terbaek; Bronkn Nngurskl, the
powerhouse of Minnesota's dun;
and Joe Donchess. lean, hard -hitting
end of the Pittsburgh Panth
ers. Toby Uansa of Pittsburgh was
by far the leading halfbacks in the
balloting.
. Oarideo vas the choice of 123 ex
perts for tho position of fleld gen
cral, outdistancing such Eastern
aces as Al Mursters of Dartmouth
and Albie Booth of Yale, each of
whom faded at the finish, largely
through injuries, after dazzling
starts.
Donchess was selected , for one of
the end positions by 121 voters,
but his running-mate and fellow
townsman, rangy Wesley Fesler of
Ohio State was not far away with
a total of Youjigstown, Ohio,
thus has the rare distinction of
furnishing both All-American ends.
Nagurski presented the problem
of being u leading candidate for
fullback as well us tackle. He re
ceived 1 1 5 votes altogether, but
he Is placed in the line because a
majority of his supporters. 60, pre
ferred him in that position with
the understanding that he might be
brought back for ball-currying pur
poses til " pinch. The Big Nag
was clearly one of the greatest all
around players produced In many a
season.
At the flanks, Francis Tappaan,
most consistent player on the
Southern California eleven. was
the only man who gave Douches
and Fesli-r any sort of a contest.
He polled 61 votes. Vernon (Cut--fish)
Smith of Georgia and Frank
Buker of Northwestern had a close,
contest which Smith won by n nar
row margin. 2'J to 27.
The Southwest Conference un
questionably produced one of the
best ends of the year In the giant
Wear Schuonover of Arunsas, a
great pass receiver as well as
blocker and luckier, but his total
of 16 votes was not enough to give
him higher rating- than a ptace on
the third team.
"Bed" Sleight, 203-pound dyna
mo of the great Purdue line, led
all tho tackle contenders with 82
votes. He has the fiery "10 -pound
Nagurski as his running-mate, with

55 and 56 votes, respectively, easily
clinched the second team positions
over "siicH steady '-peTrarftTcrs n
Douds of Washington Jefferson,
Kington oT Alabama and Vincent of
Yule.. Douds polled 43 votes.
Notre Dame' finished the out
standing guard on tho list in Jack
Cannon who, with 88 votes, led his
nearest rival, Bert Rchwurz of Cali
fornia, by 30. Schwarz carried off
tho first team prize in n. close con
test with Hay Montgomery of
Pittsburgh. called "the perfect
guard" by his coach, and "Flrpo"
Greene, Yale's big captain. Mont
gomery polled G3 and Greene 51,
with Johnny Law, Notre Dame cup
lain, not fur behind with 42.
For the first time- since 1U23,
Harvard places a man on the first
team through the brilliance of Ben
Tlcknor, outstanding choice for
center. Tlcknor's marvelous a II
around work especially in the Yale
game, evidently save him the call
over Boy lleisols, blond captain of
the University of California.
The Crimson star polled H'i voles
to 63 for Kcigels, who made a sen
sational come-back to win high
honors this year after his memor
a bio ba c k wa rd ru n in the N e w
Year's Day game. No other pivot
men "were even- close to"thesc- two;
Siano of Ford ham. barely gaining
an edge In the voting over Tim
I Moynihan, Notre Dani.e, who siif-
! fcred a broken leg in next to the
last game.
S I lad the All-Atryrlcun ballots
been cast the firs week of Novem
ber, it is doubtful whether Albie
Booth of Yale or Al Mursters of
Dartmouth could have been kept
off the first team with a crow-bar.
.They were the most tulked-ubout
I ball-carriers of the year but in
juries in the Yale game put Mur
sters out of actioii and. Booth, uIko
hurt, failed to star 'against . Har
vard. These developments, coupled
wil h the consistently sensational
work of a number of other backs,
helped determine the choice of
Carldeo of Notre Dame, Toby
Uansa of Pittsburgh, Bed Cagle or
West Point and Tony Holm or Ala
bama for the All-Amoricau back
field. I Curldeo'H 123 votes for quarter
back compared with -16 for Mur
sters and 26 for Booth. Dutch
Clark, the 1928 A!l-Am,orleun field
general, was distanced but the all
around star of Colorado College, on
a oompiirutlvf ly ; mediocre team,
again demonstrated his remarkable
prowess.
Uansa, 'Pitt's "cUnuix runner,"
was almost as highly favored
among tho halfbacks as Caridco
was among the quarterbacks. Tum
bling Toby collected 105 votes. Ca
ttle, hi his lust year, retained the
honors he won a year ago only af
ter a close race with "Pest" Welch,
Purdue, captain and triple threat.
Tho Army redhead polled 71 votes
to 6 1 for Welch. Tennessee's hurd
runuing bull-lugger, Gene McEver,
wllh37 votes, barely beat out Billy
Bunker of Tulane and Benny Loin
of California for the second team
i place. Banker pulled 27 ami Lorn
