Midwest Heads UPI All-America;
Bill Cannon Tops Individual Vote
UPI Sports Editor
. New York-fllPD-The Midwest
dominates the 1959 United
Press International All-American
football team announced
today although Billy Cannon
ran away with individual hon
ors. Louisiana State's star half
back received a total of 3,048
points in the nation-wide bal
loting by 339 sports writers
and broadcasters, the largest
number ever to vote for a
UPI All-Amercan team. Can
non's showing was the second
strongest in the history of the
voting, being exceeded only
by the 3,369 - points which
Leon Hart, Notre Dame end,
received in 1949.
Selected with Cannon as
the finest collegiate players in
the land were:
Ends Monty Stickles, No
tre Dame and Bill Carpenter,
Army. ,
TacklM i Dan Lanphear,
Wisconsin and Don Floyd,
Texas Christian.
Guards Roger Davis
Syracuse and Bill Burrell,
Illinois.
Center Max Baughan,
Georgia Tech.
Quarterback Richie Lu
cas, Penn State.
Halfbacks Cannon and
Ron Burton, Northwestern.
Fullback Charles Flowers,
Mississippi.
Midwest Gets Four Berths
Stickles, Lanphear, Burrell
and Barton gave the Mid
west four berths on the myth
ical eleven. There were
three players each from the
South and East and one from
the Southwest. Baughan and
Flowers, in addition to Can
non are from the South while
Davis, Carpenter and Lucas
are from the East and Floyd
from the Southwest. Geogra
phically, that left the Far
West, Rocky Mountain and
Midlands afeas without rep
resentation on the dream
team.
Cannon is the only repeat
er from UPI's 1958 Ail-Amer
ican team. He was one of two
uniors on that team, the other
being . Bob White of Ohio
State. White was injured "most
of the past season and re
ceived only 201 points, which
put him well down on the
honorable mention list.
All of the 1959 AU-Amer-leans
are seniors and all ex
cept Carpenter, the lonely
end who must stay in mili
tary service, are expected to
be the most sought after play
ers by the professional foot
ball leagues.
Fast and Heavy Line
The linemen are all fast and
heavy. The line averages 219
pounds, Davis is the heaviest
228 pounds', Burrell and
Carpenter the lightest at 210.
The backfield averages 194
pounds, with Cannon the bul
kiest at 208.
There was only one close
contest for a first team berth.
That was for' the center spot
where Baughan beat out Jack
ie Burkett of Auburn by 37
points.
Lanphear led the lineman
in the balloting with 2,110
points, 39 more than Davis
received.
Syracuse, the nation's No.
1 team in the ratings by the
United Press International
Board of Coaches, placed a
man . on each the first team
and Gerhard Schwedes was
voted into the third team
backfield. .
