Once a year comes this time the time when "all" teams are
selected. The only time during the football season that more bally
hoo and probably bunk is seen, is at the beginning of the year
when every press agent is touting his favorite for all-something or
other. And it's only a difference in degree. Some 10,000 are be
ing ballyhooed as the season ends and only about one-tenth of that
number find places on one or more of the various teams.
But, in the extremely fashion
able fashion, the DAILY sports
staff of June Bierbower, Harl
Hunt and John McDermott, has
collaborated in picking an all Big
Six team for the consumption of
those who are always howling for
such things. It s our honest opin
end positions, easily, at that.

absence of Gil Duggan. Duggan is

as the Huskers are holding down
eighteenth position this week.
For the first time in the history
of the poll, two teams are tied for
first. Texas A. & M. and USC are
deadlocked, with Cornell in third
place and Tennessee in fourth. Mis
souri is ranked eighth, behind Tu
lane, Duquesne and Duke, fifth,
sixth, and seventh respectively,
Iowa and Holy Cross complete the
first ten.
Ramblers eleventh.
Notre Dame is eleventh, followed
by Ohio State, UCLA, Clemson,
Michigan, North Carolina, George
town, Nebraska, San Jose State
and Santa Clara. Also-rans are
Georgia Tech, Boston College, and
Princeton, Fordham, Oregon State,
Penn State, Oklahoma, Kentucky
and Syracuse.
The Huskers, though are ranked
seventh by William Boand in his

first, with Texas A. & M., Tulane,

ion that it's impossible to select derriere Saturday afternoon in
any eleven men who are better tact ail oi it; tne twenty minutes
than the common horde, but since
we understand there's a streamer
on the front page saying the se
lections are here, it's up to us to
make them.
As maybe you'll see the selec
tions look a little nartial in that
four Cornhuskers made the first rank
team, as our motto seemed to be
"When in doubt, say Nebraska,"
Judging from Saturday's perform
ance, twenty-three Cornhuskers
belong on the first team, but that's
something else again.
Back to the Huskers making
the team. George Seemann, who
closed the year in a blaze of glory
against Pitt and especially against
Oklahoma, gets one end position.
To Saml Sen
wartzkopf, who
staged a great
comeback this
he was in the game, and the forty
minutes he was on the bench. Sam
Schwartzkopf, Husker tackle, was
as good at that position as any we
saw all year, so Sam is paired with
Ken Haas of Missouri at tackle.
Warren Alfson and Bob Waldorf
besides Harry's been starting most
of the games lately, so we de
cided it was about Rohrig's turn.
Clark stars.
Clark is good. He has the high
est pass completion average in the
nation, all of which is good enough
for us. He can run, too, and punt.

The backfield presented its big

We flipped a coin to decide be-

to put Herm in

send Harry in
