All Americans
To Be Selected
Bv Ex-Greats
Players who make the 1946 All-
Amei ican team to be selected by
the American Football Coaches
Association will have the stamp
of approval of former All-America
I'S.
Upwards of a tenth of the
475 coaches in the association fig
ured in the mythical national se
lections themselves at one time or
another. Among them are 1 1 head
coaches and an estimated 35 or
more assistant coaches.
Dan of the coaches, of course,
is Alonzo Stagg of the College of
the Pacific. He was named to the
nrsi AU-Ameiican team ever
chosen, in 1889,
great play at Yale.
Bo McMillin, of Indiana, made
I to beat in the championship race.
Tuesday's games resulted in a
12 to 0 win for Yale over Lafay
ette and a 13 to 6 triumph for
iRuteers ovpr Pi-inrptnn
Harry Fox of Lincoln, who
sparkled in the Freshman-Nubbins
contest last week, was on
the receiving end of two touch
down passes for Yale. Both
teams fumbled away numerous
scoring opportunities, and in one
instance, after recovering a Yale
fumble on the Yale two yard
line, Lafayette failed to push
across a touchdown in four
plays.
In the second Tuesday encoun
ter, Dick Powers of Sargent threw
a touchdown pass to Robert Allen
of Lincoln to provide the margin
of victory for Rutgers over Prince
ton.
Donegan Shines
In the only Monday game Co
lumbia, led by Ed Donegan. who
plays a lot of football for his size,
ran over Harvard to the tune of
12 to 0.
Columbia outplayed the Crim
son during the entire game and
made few mistakes themselves.
The first score came on a pass
play from quarterback Ray
Churchill to end Donegan. The
pass run covered thirty yards
and gave Columbia a lead they
never relinquished.
The final six points were
chalked up by Churchill, who
executed a beautiful naked re
verse, kept the ball himself and
streaked seventeen yards for the
tally.
Another Freshman-B team con
test is scheduled for this Friday.
Each of the freshman teams has
played two games to date, and
the league contest will be re
sumed next week.
Present standings of the teams
are:

Tigers March
On Defiant
Foe Saturday
COLUMBIA, Mo. The whole of
Oklahoma is angry very, very
angry, and all the groans and
because of his j growls cominS out of the Sooner
country this week mean that they
are busv netting readv to take
!.he : r,:thie.a,tea ?r IS! year? out their wrath on some poor foe.
And so the Tigers of Missouri are
hand-running, 1919, 1920 and
1921, while starring at little Cen
tre College. Army's Earl Blaik
made it as a West Point cadet in
1919.
Bob Higgins, head coach of
Penn State, holds a record of in
terest these days of war-veteran
players. He made the Ail-American
while at Penn State in 1915,
went away to World war 1 nd
returned to make the honorary
team again in 1919.
Michigan's Fritz Q-isler won a
place on the All-American in 1921
while playing for Chicago under
the old maestro, Stagg. Lynn Wal
dorf, of Northwestern, made it in
1922 and again in 1924 while play
ing at Syracuse.
Three current head coaches
who made All-Americans during
the 1930's and who will partici
pate in the 1946 selection to be
published in the Saturday Eve
ning Post are Beattie Feathers,
outstanding Tennessee back who
now tutors North Carolina's Tar
heels; Bobby Dodd, another Ten
nessee ace, now at Georgia Tech,
and Marchy Schwartz, a great
Notre Dame ack who currently
coaches at Stan word.
the victims who will be sent out
on the field to oppose a power
house Oklahoma eleven that was
beaten by an alert, opportunist,
Kansas Jayhawk. The only salve
that can heal the wounds of the
Sooners is a victory over Mis
souri which would throw the Big
Six title race into a flip-the coin-stage.
This week's tussle wil bring
together Oklahoma's famed stal
wart forward wall and the Tiger
line that held Colorado to a net
rushing gain of 11 yards. It will
be a battle of the T teams since
both Don Faurot and Jim Tatum
have the same style of offense.
Also it will be the first meeting
of these two coaches as opponents;
they coached the Fre-flight team
at Jacksonville, Fla., in 1944.
The Tigers suffered only the
usual game bruises against Colo
rado, but, nevertheless.will work
only lightly this week. It is hoped
that Marshall Shurnas will be
back for this fray as well as
Bernie Pepper, but they definitely
Ioiva State Plots
Upset in Accord
With Dizzy Season
AMES, Iowa. In a season filled
with upsets, the Io -a State Cy
clones need to pull one on Ne
braska Saturday to guard against
Kansas State pulling one on Kan
sas.
That Involved bit of reasoning
means simply that to prevent
sharing the Big Six cellar the
Cyclones must beat the Corn
huskers at Lincoln. Kansas State,
loser of four straight conference
game, would pull into fifth place
tie with a beaten Iowa State
team by upsetting Kansas.
And after last week there isn't
likely to be much betting that
such a thing couldn't happen at
Manhattan Saturday .
Iowa State, bruised and bat
tered from eight straight grueling
games, will meet a refreshed Ne
braska eleven at Lincoln. The
Cornhuskers, currently tied for
second in the loop, had an open
date last week.
Little Deserves
Honors as Ace
Football Coach
Coach Lou Little's football
players at Columbia university do
better classroom work during the
gridiron season than at any other
time in the school year, sports
writes Stanley Frank reports in
the current Saturday Evening
Post.
Remarkable!
Not only that, but statistice
show that there is less academic
mortality among Columbia foot
ball players than in the general
student body, the article asserts.
No first-string players have failed
to graduate in Little's 17 years at
the school.
This acaremic phenomen Is at
tributed by Nicholas M. McKnight,
associate dean of Columbia college,
to the pressure Little puts on his
players during the fall. During the
season, the article states, Little
sends unsolicited inquiries to tach
player's instructor every three
weeks, asking for reports on his
grades, cuts and attitude in class.
If a boy drops from a B average
to C plus, a safe passing mark,
Little "hauls the culprit on the
carpet and rives him what-for."
Phi Belts
Drop Lilies
For Crown
Phi Delta Theta became the
all-university football champions
for 1946 when they defeated the
Lilies, 8-0, Monday night. Play
ing on a soft, muddy field on a
cold day, neither team was ab'e
to display its previous brilliance.
The' teams battled on even terms
the first half, with one serious
threat by the Lilies broken up as
result of an intercepted pass.
In the final period, Lee Chapin
tossed a pass to Thorne standing
in the end zone. Thorne missed
the pass, but interference was
ruled on the play, and it gave the
Phi Delts an automatic touch
down. The Lilies made a desper
ate attempt to come back, only to
be thrown for an additional safe
ty in their efforts.
Both teams' lines stood out on
defense, with Houtz and Wood
the mainstays for the Lilies, while
Maser, Hergert and Dick Chapin
led the Phi Delts. The break
away running ability of Lee Cha
pin kept the thi Delts on ane oi
fensive throughout the game.
