United
Press All-America
Voting Lead
By Cassady
Of Buckeyes
By NORMAN MILLER
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) The Mid-
.west area, placing Howard (Hop-
along) Cassady of Ohio State and
four other players, dominated
the 1955 United Press All-Amer
ica football team selected today
in a nation-wide poll of 304
sports writers and broadcasters.
This year's "dream team" also
was made up of two players each
from the South and Southwest,
and one each from the Pacific
Coast and the East.
Here are the players chosen
as the finest in the country at
their positions:
Jon Arnelt Chosen
Ends: Ron Eeagle, Navy, and
Ran Kramer, Michigan.
Tackles: Bruce Bosley, West
Virginia, and Norman Masters,
Michigan State.
Guards: Bo Bolinger, Okla
homa, and Calvin Jones, Iowa.
Center: Bob Pellegrini, Mary
- land.
Backs: Howard Cassady, Ohio
State; Jim Swink, Texas Christ
ian; Paul Hornung, Notre Dame,
and Jon Arnett, Southern Cali
fornia. Cassady, the elusive 172-pound
halfback who was the key fig
ure in Ohio State's Big Ten
championship quest, was the
leading vote-getter on the All
America team. He received a
total of 2979 out of a possible
3344 points and was chosen for
either the first or second team
on all but 20 of the ballots cast.
Two Repeaters
Beagle, Navy's brilliant pass-
catching end, was the second
most popular choice with a total
of 2738 points, and Kramer,
Michigan's 218 -pound place-
kicking end, was third with 2643
points.
Cassady and Jones, 220-pound
bulwark of the Iowa line, were
the only repeaters from last
year's All-America team. The
only other collegian eligible to
repeat was Don Holleder of
Army. But Holleder, who made
the 1954 team as an end, was
shifted to quarterback this sea
son and received only honorable
mention.
Beagle moved up from the
1954 second team, narrowly
missing out for the top honor
last 'year; Kramer was a third
team choice in 1954.
Seven Seniors
Seven of the All-Americans
are seniors and four are juniors
Swink, Hornung, Arnett and
Kramer. This represents the
largest number of juniors on the
first team since the World War
II years when college football
was played under unusual condi
tions. 'The closest races in this year's
All-America balloting were for
the fourth backfield berth and
for one of the tackles. Arnett
won his backfield honor by a
margin of 141 points over George
Welsh of Navy, and Masters had
a 193-point edge over Mike San
dusky of Maryland in the voting
for tackle.
This year's backfield is com
prised of a brilliant field gen
eral and three of the finest ball
carryers in college football.
Hornung excelled in passing,
calling plays, defense and gen
erally engineering the big play
in tough situations. Swink com
piled a remarkable running aver
age of 8.6 yards in his first nine
games this season; Cassady had
5.9 yards every time he carried
the ball, while Arnett averaged
five yards per try from scrim
mage and was exceptionally
good in running back punts and
kickoffs.
Beagle, at 186 pounds, was
the lightweight in an otherwise
massive line, which had an over
all average of 215 pounds per
vman. Bosley, Masters and Pelle
grini were the heaviest at 225
pounds each. No matter what
the weight, however, each line
man had speed and was a stand
out both on offense and defense.

The Los Angeles Rams and
Cleveland Browns cling to half
game leads in the National Foot
ball league's division races to
day because of inspired "spoil
er" efforts by the Chicago Car
dinals and New York .Giants,
two teams with no hope of play
ing in the Dec. 26 champion
ship game.
The Cardinals, I6V2 point un
derdogs, knocked the Chicago
Bears out of first place in the
Western division Sunday with a
thumping", 53-14 triumph in the
66th game of their bitter, mtra
city series. Los Angeles, which
had been a half-game behind the
Bears, took first place by edging
the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-21
on Les Richter's 26-yard field
goal with only seven seconds to
go.
New York played its finest
1955 game to hold the champion
Browns to a 35-35 tie at the Polo
Grounds. The second -place
Washington Redskins took ad
vantage of New York's effort
and cut Cleveland's Eastern
lead to a half-game by downing
the Pittsburgh Steelers, 23-14.
Kept Hopes Alive
The Baltimore Colts kept
their hopes alive by defeating
the San Francisco Forty-Niners
in Sunday's other game, 26-14.
Baltimore trails Los Angeles by
one game. The Green Bay Pack
ers, who lost to the Detroit
Lions Thursday, 24-10, are IV2
games behind the Rams.
All teams have two more reg
ular season games. Cleveland
visits Pittsburgh and winds up
at home against the Cardinals.
Washington winds up at home
against New York and Pitts
burgh. Los Angeles finishes at
home against Baltimore and
Green Bay. The Bears wind up
at home against Detroit and
Philadelnhia.
Ollie Matson, Dave Mann and
Don Stonesifer .each scored
twice in a snowstorm as the
Cardinals snapped the Bears'
six-game winning streak.
Cleveland appeared set for
one of its patented finishes when
Otto Graham ran 27 yards to
sot up a 21-yard field poal try
by Lou Groza. But Ray Krause,
Pat Knight and other New York
defensive stars who had blocked
a 26-yard Groza field goal at
tempt in the first half., broke
throueh to block the boot with
onlv 17 seconds to eo.
But it was a different story
at Philadelphia where Richter
booted his third field goal of
the game in the final seconds to
put the Rams in first place.
Norm Van Brocklin threw scor
ing passes to Elroy Hirsch and
Tom Fears to help Los Angeles
beat Philadelphia for the first
time in seven tries.
Washington didn't complete a j
pass at Pittsburgh but won on i
two touchdowns by Leo Elter !
and a 19-yard punt return TD
by Joe Scudero.
At Baltimore, George Shaw
threw a touchdown pass to Jim
Mutschler, scored on a 21-yard
run and set up a two-yard TD
lunge by Alan Ameche to lead
the Colts to victory over the
Forty-Niners.
Army Won't
in
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
Overjoyed Army closed the
books today on a 1955 college
football season made glorious
for the Cadets by their inspired
upset victory over Navy, but
there will be still another chap
ter for bowl-bound Georgia Tech
and Mississippi.
The Cadets, triumphant by
14-6 over Navy in Saturday's
dramatic gridiron classic at Phil
adelphia, returned to the Mili
tary Academy at West Point
Sunday for a, tumultuous cele
bration. Coach Earl Blaik, whose team
came from behind to win on
second-half touchdowns by hard
slashing Pat Uebel and Pete
Lash, hailed his team at the vic
tory rally for "beating one of
the best Navy teams in many,
many years." Earlier Blaik had
cast a personal vote against any
bowls for Army by saying, "I
have had enough football for one
season." '
But Georgia Tech quickly ac
cepted a bid to the Sugar Bowl
and Mississippi accepted a berth
in the Cotton Bowl after each
wound up its regular season
with an impressive victory on
Saturday. That completed the
following lineup for the major
bowls on Jan. 2: . '
Lineups In Bowls
Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif.
UCLA vs. Michigan State.
Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla.
Oklahoma vs. Maryland.
Sugar Bowl at New Orleans
Georgia Tech vs. Pittsburgh.
Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Tex.
Texas Christian vs. Mississippi.
The Gator Bowl at Jackson
ville, Fla., was scheduled to hold
a meeting today at which the two
teams would be selected. It was
believed that three Southeastern
Conference teams were the ones
from which the choice would be
made Auburn, Tennessee, and
Vanderbilt.
The Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex.,
filled one berth with Texas Tech,
but did not expect to announce
the other for "several days."

Minor Loop Shifts Seen In Baseball
By LEO H. PETERSON
United Press Sports Editor
Columbus,' Ohio (U.R) A
number of triple A minor league
franchise shifts loomed today as
the major leagues met for their
annual player draft.
While the majors decide what
players to select from those
eligible from the minor leagues,
the minors were engaged in pos
sible changes affecting the
American Association and Inter
national League.
It appeared possible that the
TAKING OPENING KICKOFF and marching straight down field, George Welch (11) Navy
quarterback, dives over for score in Army-Navy game at Philadelphia. (International)
International League for 1956
would include Miami, Fla., and
either Jacksonville, Fla., or
Knoxville, Tenn.
But before that can be accom
plished, the American Associa
tion must re-align its franchises,
too.
One clutj the Columbus Jets
of the International League ap
peared to hold the key to re
alignment of those higher classi
fication minors.
The picture is this:
The Milwaukee Braves, who
operated the Toledo, Ohio, fran
chise in the American Associa
tion last year, want to move the
club to Miami. That would make
the Association an unwieldy
loop, with Denver in the West,
Minneapolis and St. Paul in the
far North and Miami in the deep
South.
But the International League
has a club in Havana, Cuba, and
could take in Miami without
increasing its schedule or travel
ing difficulties.
So the Association would like
the International to trade Miami
for Columbus.
SKI DATE CHANGED
Spout Springs, Ore. (U.R)
Date for the National Cross
Country skiing championships
here was changed yesterday from
Dec. 28 to Dec. 30 to make it
possible for a larger field to take
part.
