If the selectors were naming 222, there wouldn't be enough places to satisfy everybody. The unit plan Beefs Always Follow All-America Naming By HARRY GRAYSON NKA Sports Editor NEW YORK (NEA) Walter Camp launched the All-America business in 1889, and there have been dissenting votes ever since. Alter the All-America squads come the All-American squawk. This one from Harry E. Kidd is typical. "I don't know whether guy Li nuts to try picking an All-America team but I guess if you are nuts it might help," writes Sports Edi tor Kidd of The Daily Gazette of Sterling, III. "Perhaps I'm nuts, but I don't go in for all-star picks. "You hurt too many boys, who because of circumstances are not named. I realize you cannot name mem an, out I d rather pass it all up than hurt just one, and in a nation-wide pick, you certainly nun plenty of tnem. "Besides, many people are ready to cut your heart out. BLIGHTED "Personally. I was Interests In Max Schmallng, Purdue fullback irom sterling High. Midwest news papers and commentators repeat edly said he had not received the publicity he deserted. "Going into Purdue's final game with Indiana, Schmallng was third on nig ien yaraage, Dut one yard short of Ted Kress Michigan half back, at 443 to 442. He has been workhorse. "Schmaling from the start was billed as being of All-America cali ber, lived up to the billing despite the fact that he was not given the opportunity to score when he re peatedly carried the ball to within Uie 10 and even the five-yard mark. UNFAIR 1 "Yet not even honorable men tion. How unfair can a picker be? "How about Tom O'Connell, Illi nois Quarterback, who broke West ern Conference passing marks? Tennessee, R3 Xi has swelled the number of college football players to more than 20,- 000. What we really should do is name kickoif and punting platoons and their receiving counterparts. extra-point men and what-not, tne way a lot of coaches employ them That would make so many more young men happy. Not a few ask what an All-Amer ica proves, but this is for sure nobody eer will succeed in mak Also John Ryan, receiver of most oi tne passes, along with Rex Smith?" Devoting an entire page to the NEA All-America teams, for which we are extremely grateiui, Kditor George Carmack of The Houston press comments: "We are delighted that you put J. u. tummei oi the university of Houston on your second team. "I know, you get letters by the hundreds concerning your picks, but I am a typical fan who dares you to show a better defensive lineback in the United States than Kimmei. WATCH CARR "Houston also had Paul Carr, as good a linebacker as I have ever seen. He will be a senior next year, and you really should keep your eye on him. "You will deduce from this that I think Houston had a great team. It did. I don't think there was a better defense In the countrv. It was also the fastest team I ever saw." ' Despite the fact that football Is wen into tne platoon era, the first of the slick-paper magazines to come out with an AJl-Amerlca sticks to the outmoded custom of selecting Just one team. PROOF Proof that this tends to stress tackling linemen Is the fact that six oi lis seven a. primarily de lensive men. Three of the backs are strictly attackers. The fourth Is best known for getting over real estate with the ball tucked under his arm. I repeat that the supply of Dlav- ers exceeds the demand even with tne positions doubled to 22. If the selectors were naming 222, there wouldn't be eneueh dIofps to satisfy everybody. But nobody will ever succeed In making All-America teams unpop ular wim ui customers TOM, CATLIN OKlahoma, c ing it unpopular with the fans. And it is amazing how the elec torate agrees on the first team men, so here's the 1952 NEA All America, picked by the country's coaches and sports writers: OFFENSE End Steve Melllnier, Kentucky, 212; and Bernie Flowers, Pur due, 193.

Champion Days of Gofch, Hackenschmidt By MURRAY OLDERMAN NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) Ed Lewis, wrestling's contribution to the fab les of the Oolden '20s. turned prophet after a routine workout In a st, Louis gymnasium some IB years ago. A black-haired Greek kid lust asked me to teach him a few tricks," said the Strangler to his good friend, veteran sport editor Ed Wray. "He's thin and awk ward and not very strong. Doesn't know too much. But some day this kid's going to be a champion of the world." Today Lou Thesz Is. He ma tured to a robust, agile 235-pound-er. Wrestling champs are as pro lific as panel nroarama but Thesz is the undisputed best, In an era KAL MILLER Ifia. Tech, RT VTelmes WILLHOITE So. Calitornta, R3 The South, because of front-run ning Maryland and Georgia Tech, shows the way with seven men. The Midwest and Pacific coast land five each, the Southwest three, the East two. No fewer than 18 schools are represented, with two spots each going to Georgia Tech, Maryland, Oklahoma, Southern California and UCLA, so strength runs to strength. The others are California, Kansas State, Navy, Notre Dame, Prince ton, Purdue, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Athletes must be picked on per formance as well as ability. That's why a boy like Harry Agganls of Boston University, though he may very well be the slickest quarter back in the land In the eyes of the professlonels, has not had the opportunity to prove it with a weak supporting cast. Stalwarts like Don McAuliffe, the hardest runner on the mighty Michigan State squad, were aided and abetted by magni ficent outfits and numbers. In this day of specialists It ii Interesting to note that 10 of the 22 first-string men are two-way performers Catlin, Wlllholle, Lattner, Perry and at times Ves sels and Tamburo. Meilinger and Cameron are the only Juniors on the first offensive team, Lattner on the defensive side. Meilinger switched from end to spllt-T quarterback and is regard ed as the most formidable all- Thesz Throwback To of freaks, perfumed and marcelled groaners and halr-clutchers. Lou Is one of the few who plays It lalrly straight, like Verne Gagne of Minneapolis. Ironically, Thesz arid Gagne are probably one-two In the profession. : '.'Lou could have wrestled with anybody the Ootches and the Hackcnschmldts, Stanislaus Zbyszko, even the old Strangler," says his manager, who turns out to be no less an authority than discoverer Lewis himself, "Wrestling's Just like any other game In that to be successful you've still got to win," says Gagne, "only you've got to do it In a colorful way." That wrestling has color is best attributed to by the Jammed crowd for ft recent Tb,esz headiiner at 1 d . V7 'L'i'j STEVE MEIUNOER Kentucky, LE round player In college. The low ering Kentuckian deserves special attention for being picked ahead of such tremendous ends a Texas' Stockert, Pennsylvania's Ed . Bell, Notre Dame'f Bob O'Neill, not to mention Paul Dekker of Michigan State and some more. UCLA would have little more than an extraordinary defense with out Cameron. Some may take Luue with Ols zewski, because of Cal.'s slump, but the Long Beach, Calif., Pole Is Just as good a fullback as he was before, possibly the most dev astating blocking back in the sport. Moomaw ordinary Is a lineback er, but the NEA operatives elect ed him by aa wide a margin as our linebackers, Tamburo and Mor ris, so we've placed the UCLA giant at defensive tackle, where he wouldn't exactly crimp any ar ray's style. Injuries that spelled timeout con tributed as much as anything else to the fact that auch merited com batants as Joe Schmidt, potent Pittsburgh linebacker, and Al Bros ky, Illinois safety man, missed first team plaques. , You don't realize Just how many good football players there are In the United States until you start picking an All-America. But careful screening has given NEA one All-American that can eat up a lot of real estate and another throughly capable of hang ing on to it. Madison Square Garden. The 18,- 000-plus more than doubled the combined turnouts of the previous two boxing cards in the Garden. "Wrestling- has been severely criticized, and in many cases right fully so," admlla Lewis, "but you can't deny its success. fit has a conscience. It's kept the hoodlums and gamblers out (Note: there may not be an Im pulse to wager on an alleged sure thing), "It also - has a soul. During Thanksgiving week, members of the National Werestllng Alliance gave 25 per cent of their gross receipts to Leader Dogs for the Blind of Rochester, Mich." For the Individual, wrestling's not so bad either. Men like Thesz and Oagns drag in about 1100,000 a year.
