J- 'S Backs , ; HI A- khoru Carolina Naval Linemen Clint Leach , , Reedsport Star " CLINTON LEACH the biggest man on the all-star squad at 185 pounds was the unanimous choice of every opposing coach whose team played against Reedsport. He was far and away the best plung ing back in the league and was a stellar defensive linebacker. The spearhead of the Braves' attack was given a third-team rating in 1941. . BERT YOUNG-was a real tri- ple-threater In 7 the Roseburg championship backfleld and was anotner "unanimous, cnotce. He averaged better than 40 yards per kick and had only one blocked (Grants Pass) all season. The president of the student body has won three football and two track letters. LELAND "BABE" WIMBERLY is an all-around athlete at Roseburg, having added his third football, letter to three basketball and two baseball awards. He is an unusually hard runner for a small man and picks his holes well. He is a punter and -passer and ex ceptional at pass . receiving. He gained a third-team berth last sea son. ... . ' TED DAILY Is a fast, hard hitting and clever ball carrier and was the Lebanon player who pack ed the mail on at least a third of the plays. A reel trlple-threater and a southpaw. His punting aver age was close to 45 yards, after taking over the duty in mid-season. On defense he was one of the surest and hardest tacklers in the circuit. He gained a third-team place last season. Southern Methodist -Tripped by Rice, 13-7 HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. 5 0J.ro Rice Institute grabbed an early lead today behind the stellar pass ing and running of big Virgil "Ike" Eikenberg and Windell Williams to defeat Southern Methodist Uni versity, 13 to 7, in the final foot ball game of the season for both teams. BILL UNSOELD is one of the four juniors on the all-star squad. The Unl High, pass-catching ace, wno is also a stellar defensive man, had considerable competition from no less than three contenders for . the position, namely, Lee of Springfield, Dugan of Cottage Grove, and Bennett of Reedsport He was the only boy from Eqgene to gain all-star honors. ... " BILL JAYNES was only one of three outstanding Reedsport line men, but his all-around play gave him the nod over such top-flight tackles as Rauch of Springfield, Ernshaw of Cottage Grove, Koog ler of Reedsport , and Fennel of Lebanon. HOWARD JENKINS won his fourth football letter at Cottage Grove this season and by being named on the all-star squad was thus honored for the third straight year. He played splendid often sive and defensive ball all year, es pecially on oltense. . ED STEINHAUER -was an ex ceptionally accurate center on of fense and a better than average defensive player for the Spring field Millers. His only seVious contender, according to the judg ment of rival coaches, wac Holm' quist of Roseburg. WILLIAM TURNER was the smallest ' player selected on the squad, and this Roseburg "watch' charm" guard was a headache to rival linemefr and backs. The trackman at the Indian school was always on the center of a plleup that spilled the opposition without gain. CLINT PEARSON was a "80' minute man" for Lebanon's unde feated Berrypickers. He was ex' ceptionally fast for his 180 pounds next to the heaviest man on the all-star squad.' He was a smart player and one of the toughest linemen in the league to move out of position.' LEE KRAUSE was one of the three all-stars to receive "unani mous" selection. The Cottage Grove end was the only one of two repeaters on the team. He was even more potent than last year a bear on offense and had lots of fire and courage. He was one of his team's co-captains. MOSCOW BILLIARD CHAMP DETROIT, Dec. 5.
