Midwest Awarded Five Places,on Associated Press All-America
Squad of 33 Selected
Dominated by Stars
Of South, Southwest
V -
Two on First Team, With Dozen on
Second and Third—Mellendeck and
Nowaskey Get Honorable Mention
By Herbert W. Barker,
Associate* Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The Middle West, returning to football power
after a one-year lapse, dominates the 14th annual all-America team,
selected today by the Associated Press on the basis of a Nation-Wide
aurvey of expert opinion.
From that geographical sector no fewer than five players are named
to the first team, along with two from the East, two from the Southwest
and one each from the South and*
Far West.
This, however, fails to reveal the
entire picture. If the Midwest cap
tures the bulk of first-team honors,
It remains for the Old South, in
cluding the Southwest area, to earn
a heavy plurality on the all-star
squad of 33, including first, second
and third teams.
Here the count shows 14 of the
South-Southwest as against 8 for
the Midwest, 7 for the East, 3 for
the Far West and 1 from the Rocky
Mountain district.
Rouble Teams Complicate Task.
In a season as spectacular and
unpredictable as any in football his
tory, the all-America debate was
romplicated by the widespread use
of two or more unit teams by col
leges fortunate enough to have
virtually unlimited football man
power. There is no question of this
system’s strategical effectiveness,
but it served to make all-America
selections just that much more diffi
cult.
There was a striking trend all
along the line, as a matter of fact,
to place the main emphasis on the
team as a whole rather than on the
individual. Notable examples of
this were Notre Dame, back once
more as a national contender;
Duke's Southern Conference cham
pions, Oklahoma's Big Six title
holders, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and
Texas Christian, to name only a
few.
Partly because of this, perhaps,
the all-America spotlight centered
for the most part on the stars of
teams in the lower-ranking brack
ets.
Thus, Iowa State, Michigan State,
Mississippi and Santa Clara, all
beaten at least once, won first
team brackets for the first time
since the Associated Press began its
all-America selections in 1925. So,
too, did Oklahoma, reckoned as a
Midwestern entry because of its
membership in the Big Six Confer
ence.
T. C. U. Gets Two Posts.
Texas Christian, one of the Na
tion's top-ranking outfits, placed two
men, Robert David OBrien and
Charles Collins Aldrich, on the first
team, the other big team berths go
ing to Pittsburgh, Cornell, Notre
Dame and Michigan.
The two Eastern representatives,
Marshall (Biggie) Goldberg, key man
in the ferocious Pittsburgh attack,
and Jerome (Brud) Holland, Cor
nell's great Negro end, both are re
peaters from the 1937 All-Ainerica.
Rounding out the All-America
backfield with O'Brien and Gold
berg are two more seniors. Linua
Parker Hall of Mississippi and John
Spencer Pingel of Michigan State.
This quartet combines passing,
running, kicking, blocking and de
fensive skill to an extraordinary de
gree and would need to offer few if
any apologies if confronted with
any All-America backfield combi
nation of the past.
Whatever arguments might de
velop elsewhere, there can be few to
challenge O'Brien's right to a place
on any all-star array. His exploits
as a passer brought Davey his prin
cipal recognition. But the fact is
that on an all-around basis he has
few equals. His passing record this
year far eclipses that compiled by
Sammy Baugh, his illustrious prede
cessor at T. C. U., in his (Baugh's)
senior year. In adidtion, O'Brien's
generalship, his running, his play at
the safety position, his defensive
work and his durability, all have
been major factors in Texas Chris
tian's spectacular showing.
In the Horned Frogs’ first nine
games O'Brien figured directly in
312 of the 234 points the Frogs
scored. He tossed 18 touchdown
passes, set up 7 more touchdowns
on pass plays that reached inside the
enemy 6-yard line; passed laterally
for three more; scored three him
self by rushing, and added 26 more
points on conversions by place-kicks.
Little Davey tossed 158 passes in
the Frogs' first nine games, com
pleted 91 for a .577 average, and
gained 1.491 yards in the process.
His passing skill is further empha
sized by the fact that only four of his
losses were intercepted. Baugh, in
his senior year, compiled no such
record. In 12 games Baugh passed
203 times with 104 completions for
1,196 yards and a .512 average. More
over, 20 of Baugh's passes were in
^ tercepted.
Goldberg Sparks Pitt.
Goldberg, shifted to the fullback
berth in Pitt’s “dream backfield,” is
named to the All-America team for
the second successive year despite
the fact he was troubled by a leg
injury in midseason and yielded the
headlines to Pitt's halfbacks, Dick
Cassiano and Hal Stebbins.
Goldberg undoubtedly was the key
man In the Pitt ensemble. There
was no better blocker in college
ranks and it was due, in no small
measure, to his effective mopping-up
that Cassiano and Stebbins broke
loose so often.
Hall and Pingel, although less
widely known than their first-team
backfield mates, were brilliant and
consistent performers all season.
Hall’s spectacular passing, kick
ing and running carried what looked
jike an average Mississippi team to
unexpected heights. Many observ
ers rated this 205-pound powerhouse
the best all-around back to come out
of the South in recent years. He
averaged better than 6 Vi yards rush
ing, better than .500 per cent passing,
better than 40 yards kicking, and
found time to lead the Southeastern
a Conference in scoring. From the
safety position the Mississippi ace
piled up a tremendous average of
20.6 yards on punt returns.
Pingel, like O’Brien, a member of
the second All-America team last
year, was perhaps the most versatile
A 1
;♦
back in the Middle West. Me gained
better than 6 yards a crack ruahing,
completed 62 of 99 passes for 976
yards and had no superior as a kicker
and defensive player. He averaged
41 yards on punts and got them
away so fast that he never had a
kick blocked during his three-year
varsity career.
Battle Over Center.
Nowhere did the All-America de
bate rage hotter than over the cen
ter post, where Aldrich, moving up
from the second team of a year ago,
gets the call over such able per
formers as Dan Hill, jr., of Duke;
Johnny Ryland of U. C. L. A., and
Charley Brock, Nebraska veteran.
Aldrich won general recognition
in the Southwest as the finest de
fensive and offensive lineman de
veloped in the past 10 years in that
rugged football sector. Rival coaches
called him superior, on an all-around
basis, to Darrell Lester, Texas Chris
tian star, who was the All-America
choice at center in 1934 and 1935. A
great offensive blocker, Aldrich like
wise was recognized as the key man
in Texas Christian's defense, an ex
pert play diagnostician. He easily
topped the entire Southwest list in
number of tackles.
Hill unquestionably was the stand
out in the rugged Duke line. This
red-headed, slightly bald son of Dan
Hill, sr., former head of the Pied
mont, Sally and other baseball
leagues, is credited with furnishing
much of the inspiration for Duke’s
sensational defensive exploits. A
power backing up the line, a ball
hawk noted for his recovery of
fumbles and pass interceptions, Dan
also called signals a large part of
the time.
Holland Finishes Fast.
Competition for the end positions
also was heated and it is only by
narrow margins that Holland and
Walter Roland fWaddy) Young of
Oklahoma get the nod over such
consistent performers as Bowden
Wyatt of Tennessee and Earl Brown
of Notre Dame.
Holland got away to a slow start
this season, but finished with such
a terrific rush that there can be
small aragument as to his right to
retain the first-team post he won
a year ago. A 60-minute performer,
the big Negro was a play-wrecker
all year, a first-class blocker and
pass receiver, and a sure ground
gainer on the end-around plays
Cornell uses, averaging better than
8 yards a try. In the upset vic
tory over Dartmouth, Holland was
a smashing end all day.
Young, ace of Oklahoma's rugged
line, made a specialty of ruining
rival passers. Oklahoma's record
against pass-minded teams such as
Rice, Texas, Missouri and Tulsa re
veals an airtight defense, and
much of the credit belongs to
Young. This 6 foot 2 inch 203
pounder was a deadly blocker and
a thorough master of all the tricks
of an end’s trade.
Tackles Hard to Choose.
A surprising scarcity of "major
league" tackles made a wide-open
race for the first-team berths in
this department. Careful analysis
of comparative records leads to the
selection of Joseph Edward Beinor
of Notre Dame and Alvord William
Wolff of Santa Clara to the big
team.
Beinor has been a rock in the
Irish line, playing his greatest
games against Army, Navy and
Minnesota, all of which feature
power attacks. Not the spectacular
type, Beinor consistently has been
steady on defense and a powerful
blocker. He took out Harry Stella
of the Army on two touchdown
plays—Joe Thesing’s 49-yard run
and Ben Sheridan’s short plunge.
Buck Shaw, Santa Clara coach,
calls Wolff the best tackle he ever
coached, and Buck, as an all-time
Notre Dame tackle, ought to know.
Wolff has a tremendous offensive
charge, is fast and clever on his
feet and a powerful physical speci
men in every respect.
He runs the 100 in 10.8. which
explains how he gets downfield so
fast under kicks. His recovery of
fumbles and interception of passes
kept Santa Clara out of trouble in
several games.
Guards Fran Midwest.
The Middle West gains a mo
nopoly o«, the two first-team guard
positions, with Ralph Heikkinen of
Michigan at the one and Edward
John Bock of Iowa State at the
other.
Heikkinen, a high-ranking stu
dent whose hobby is poetry, be
comes the first Michigan star to
earn first-team selection since 1933,
when Charley Bernard was the all
America center. Heikkinen has been
an all-Big Ten choice at guard for
two years and ranks high in the
estimation of rival coaches.
Iowa’s State's Cyclones surprised
the Big Six Conference with their
all-around strength this season and
one of the main reasons was Bock,
This durable 200-pounder was the
key man in the Cyclone line just
as Kischer was the backfleld spirit
plug. During his three-year varsity
career Bock started—and usually
finished—every game the Cyclones
played—2# in all. The iron i*an of
the team as a sophomore, he played
all but 50 minutes of nine games
last year, and has been equally in
jury proof this season.
Third of Cornell’s linemen to
make the All-America squad is Carl
Roth, called by one rival coach the
“best guard I have seen in five
years.”
At the other guard post on the
second team, as he was last year, is
Francis Twedell, steady-going star
on Minnesota’s Big Ten champion
ship array.

Olive Bowling Plants
Promise Big Entry
In Star Tourney
Managers and Aides
Hustle at Temple,
Queen Pin, Takoma
Charles H. Olive, whose control of
three neglhborhood alleys makes
him a power in Washington's bowl
ing industry, came out heartily today
with indorsement of The Evening
Star Yuletide tournament and an
nounced pledges from the managers
of his plants for a substantial in
crease in entries over last year.
His Northeast Temple is directed
by Ollie Pacini, who won the tourna
ment in 1933; the Queen Pin by
George Honey and the Takoma alley
by Red Megaw. All promised Olive
to sign every bowler they possibly
could.
Because of a great number of East
Washington residents who bowl both
at the Temple and Queen Pin, a
friendly but stiff rivalry is expected
between Pacini and Honey in the
matter of entries.
Temple and Queen Pin each turned
in about 100 last year and Takoma
around 80.
Pacini, Honey and Megaw will
"bear down” on the 00-team Wash
ington Catholic League, largest in
the country, sections of which roll
at their plants, which means that
George Harbin, president, will be in
popular demand by them. Harbin’s
word may have much to do with
where a majority of the league mem
bers shoot.
Hustling for Pacini are Larry
Murray, Chick Hollidge and Law
rence Worms; for Megaw, Dutch
Sherbahn, Flick Hurd and L. W.
Goode, while Honey’s aides are Harry
Brown, Ignatius McGee, Carl Wil
liams and Pete Hoffman.
"Let’s whoop ’er up,” Olive im
portuned his managers.

Fan-Owned Lookouts
Baseball Bargain,
Engel Reveals
Former Nationals' Farm
Triples Its '37 Gate,
Pays Off Its Debts
By the Auoeieted Frees.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 3 —
Joe Engel, with a mile of grin on his
face, will tell Southern Baseball As
sociation moguls in New Orleans
next week that his “fan-owned”
Chattanooga club finished more
than $50,000 in the black last season.
In addition, the club doesn’t owe
a cent.
Joe, who sold $5-a-share stock to
an assortment of 1803 fans last
year to buy the club from Wash
ington for $120,000, asserted today
“this fan-owner business is great
stuff.”
Joe is president of the club.
Even Knockers Pay at Gate.
Some of the stockholders knock,
Engle said, “but they like to knock
and even knockers pay admission.”
The Lookouts tripled their at
tendance in 1938 over the previous
year despite the fact they finished
in seventh place.
Engel said his gate-receipt total
fell slightly short of actual operat
ing expenses, but added he sold six
players for $77,600. Among the play
ers sold were Freddie Sington to
Brooklyn, Dee Miles to the Ath
letics. Ray Honeycutt to the Giants
and Jimmy Hitchcock to the Boston
Bees.
Distinguished Directorate.
Joe hasn’t discussed the matter
with his directors yet—as a matter
of fact ho had to check with his sec
retary to find out who his directors
are—but he thinks last year’s profits
will be turned back into the club for
the purchase of more players.
Directors of the club include a
city judge, a football coach, an as
sistant district attorney general, a
theater manager, a city commis
sioner, a banker and a life insurance
company official.

P. G. A. Manager Wants
Revision in System
Of Settling Par
B» tha Auoaiatad Praia.
AUOUSTA, Ga., Dm. 3.-Par
measurements on golf courses gen
erally came in for a verbal blasting
today as par on the Forest Hills
course was threatened with another
drubbing in the 16,000 Augusta spen.
While his touring troup of cash
and carry professionals blasted at
par In the second round of the 72
hole open, Fred Corcoran, hard
working tournament manager of the
Professional Golfers’ Association
took aim himself In this wise:
“Let's toss through the nearest
window these present pars based on
yardage and set up some true par
figures."
Corcoran has seen a lot of par
figures in his day and he regards
them all as so much uncured hay
in so far as they accurately measure
the mettle of a golf course.
Flay About M Layouts.
“The touring professionals play
about 60 different courses each sea
son with pars ranging from 07 to
73,” he said. "Yet in many in
stances the 67 par course actually
may be much harder than some
other par 72 layout. The trouble
is that par now is based solely on
yardage (par 3 up to 290 yards, par
4, 250-450; par 5, 451 up): yet al
most no two holes of the same yard
age are identical tests.”
He suggested a plan whereby a
group of topnotch players in each
district would study each course
carefully—noting narrow fairways,
traps, small greens, etc.—and set a
tentative par. Then some player
would play each hole 10 or some
other set number of times. These
scores would be averaged for the
par.
He said this should lead to frac
tional figures—46, 52, etc., but ex
pressed conviction this was what
was needed to clarify par figures.
Walper Ties Record.
forest Hills’ par of 71 took a beat
ing of four strokes from Leo Walper.
Washington shotmaker, in the first
round of the open yesterday. His
67 tied the Forest Hills tournament
record made two years ago by Ralph
Guldahl. Seven others beat par by
a stroke or more and a dozen more
posted 71s.
Sam Byrd. Philadelphia pro and
once a Yankee outfielder, was in
second place with a 08 as the troup
ers began the second round. A stroke
behind were Phil Perkins, Wil
loughby, Ohio; Jimmy Hines. Oreat
Neck, Long Island; Mike Tumesa,
Fairview, N. Y„ and E. J. ■‘Dutch•,
Harrison, Oak Park, 111.
Sam Snead, White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va., and Leonard Dod
son, Springfield, Mo., bettered par
by a stroke. Leading the amateurs
were Bobby Dunkelberger. Greens
boro, N. C.f and Jennings Gordon of
Rome, Ga., with 73s.
The field of 131 will be trimmed to
00 today and the tournament will
end with a 36-hole battle Sunday.

Kellogg Bangs to Ball-Toting Record for Tulane
Averages 7 Yards a Carry—Bosox and Chisox Alert at Cleveland Trade Pot Boils
By SID EEDER,
AlMcistrt Pr«M soaru WriUr.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3—TiS
whispered that major league
scouts have their eyes on Lon
Goldstein, who does a lot of
first-basing for Texas Wesleyan
■when he’s hot footballing and
basket balling.
The trade pot's boiling around
Cleveland again—with the Red
Box and White Sox the eoeke
who’re watching it.
Bobby "Jitterbug" Kellogg this
season wound up with the great
est ball-carrying record in Tu
lane's history—averaged 7 yards
a crack at the line, ran punts
back 138, completed seven of
20 passes for 117 and booted nine
j tra points in 13 tiles ... And
f.e’a only a soph.
Are the Giants worried about
Burgess Whitehead again? . . .
The grapevine says they're
making passes at the Pirates for
Pep Young once more, and they
certainly wouldn't Be doing that
if they were sure Second Base
man Whitey was coming baek.
Photographers working the
Missouii-Kansas game sun are
booting themselves for musing
Paul Christman’s 70-yard touch
down run with a punt... Seems
they kept their cameras trained
on Jim Sterner, Paul’s halfback
mate, because on two previous
kick returns he’d taken the ball
from Paul on a lateral.
The irony-of-tt department:
Davey O’Brien and I. B. Kale are
Dallas boys who helped bring
recent fame to Port Worth as
members of Texas Christian’s
grid outfit—and now Texas
Christian turns down the Gotten
i
Bowl bid that would have meant
so much to Dallas.
Fight promoters are all In a
dither about Pittsburgh’s Billy
Conn . . , ’cause he’s the first
classy prospect who’s all Irish
since Tommy Loughran.
Art Ross, the Boston Bruins’
boss, will introduce a new hockey
stick to the game next year to
cut down the overhead on break
age . . . Clubs now bust about
ooo of the wooden sticks a sea
son, so Art’s new idea has a
tubular steel shaft, with remova
ble head of wood—bet the play
ers agree It hurts lust as much
when you’re conked with It.
That Mew Britain < Comfit
High team, which goes to the
Baton Rouge game, had only a
■Quad of more’n 100 this season—
Just, nine deep and one for food
measure, if you please . . . And
the talk around there has the
triple-threater of the outfit,
Domfeldt, is planning on going
to Dartmouth—which shouldn't
make Red Blaik sore.
Tls said Southern Methodist 11
be a much tougher crew next
year, when Ball-Ctrryln’ Boh
Maddox graduates from .the
freshmen.
Notre Dame is 17*10 over
Southern California on the
bookies’ books hereabout . . .
This comer takes the "Irish"
. . . Also Oklahoma’s Sooner* to
score sooner—and oftener—than
Washington State, Tennessee to
trip Ole Mias and Florida to give
Fop Warner and Temple a head*
ache or two.
