Thursday, December 4, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN '3 JhSL SpOhiL ma By Bob Miller All-American Trouble. All-Americah lists are hitting the news stands with rapidity these days. . .This has been a year when teams of high national rat ing have met their Waterloo in small and comparatively unknown schools... A glance at the roster of undefeated and untied teams will substantiate this... All in all, this has been a season with ' few undefeated teams but at the same time there have been many indi vidual standouts. . .Trying to pick the best eleven of the bunch be comes quite a muddle. We Picked One. For the Associated Collegiate Press survey, we sent in the top eleven as we believe they rank ...All of the picking was done on a basis of writeups thruout the season from the major pa pers over the country. . .This was the result: Ends: Johnny Ro kisky, Duquesne, and Dave Schreiner, Wisconsin; tackles: Dick Wildung, Minnesota, and Gene Flathmann, Navy; guards: Pay Frankowski, Washington, and Endicott Peabody, Harvard; center: Don Snavely, Cornell; backs: Frank Albert, Stanford, Bruce Smith, Minnesota; Derace Moser, Texas A. & M, and Frank Sinkwich, Georgia. . Player of the Year. On the same poll was a place for the player of the year. . .This was a tough one to fill in...Altho he had to sit out several games due to injuries, Bruce Smith got the nod at this place. . .Smith demon strated his worth to the Gopher team at all times, even when he was sitting on the bench... Sev eral occasions saw him providing the margin between victory and loss for his team and every min ute that he was in the ball game there was a fear present on the part of the opposing players that Smith would break away to pay dirt... Several days ago he was awarded the title of best in the conference, which was followed by his award of the Heisman me morial trophy. A Second Team. Competition for a place on the top team was so close that we sent in a second team for good measure. .. Ends: Dove, Notre Dame, and Blacock, Clemson; tackles: Blandin, Tulane, and Bauman, Northwestern; guards: Daniel, Texas, and Melton, Pur due; center: Darold Jenkins, Missouri; backs: Layden, Texas; Lach, Duke; Westfall, Michigan, and a tie between Hillenbrand, Indiana, and Jones, Pitt. Success in growing vanilla plants from seed, which had been considered virtually imnossihlp has been repotted at Cornell uni versity.
