n JEW YORK, December g.
m The great Middle West, by
4 Y a clean-cut and decisive
margin, has won the Bat
tie of All-America Ballots" for
1890.
To help settle the All-America argu-
ment, The Associated Press this year
conducted the most comprehensive poll
Of expert newspaper opinion yet at
tempted total of 213 sports editors
and writer's, scanning the gridiron ac-
Invites in all sectors of the country,
contributed their selections after study
ing all the available information. -
Each section had its proportionate
voice in tie proceedings, so that there
was no chance to pack" the ballot
box.
The consensus of this sixth annual
popular poll showed the Middle West
capturing six of the IL places on the
first All-America team.
The Far West and the East each gain
two of the most coveted places and the
South one.
The national attention focused
Throughout the season on the exploits
of the Rough Riders of Notre Dame re-
suited in the selection of three stars of
this team for first All-America honors.
CarideO Outstanding Star.
FRANK CARIDEO of Mount Vernon,
Il N Y, star quarterback of the
Rough Riders of Rockne, not only
won All-America honors for the second
successive year, along with Wesley FeS-
Ter of Ohio State and Benjamin Tick
nor of Harvard, but the Notre Dame
field OaYlnrol r1Nl1ad tho CTcpfpcf
lar vote in the siX-year history of The
Associated Press consensus.
Carideo received total of 1888 votes
out of possible 426. He received first
team consideration in 184 of the 213
ballots cast.
Fesler, Ohio States captain and all
around ace, and Fred Sington, 215-
pound star of Alabama's mighty line.
were the other outstanding choices in
the nationwide balloting. They led all
rivals by big margins in their respective
positions, end and tackle. FeSler polled
306 votes and Sington 260.
With the exception of Carideo's run
away race for the quarterback role and
with it the mythical captaincy of the
mythical team, the balloting was close
and exciting for the backfield positions.
Erny Pinckert, Southern CALIFORNIA;
great running and blocking back, led
the halfbacks by fairly decisive mar
gin. He polled las votes for a lead of
% over his nearest competitor, March
mont Schwartz, Notre Danes great
climax runner.
SavoIdi Was Likely Choice.
THE abrupt termination of Joe Sa-
i voldi's sensational career at Notre
Dame, due to the discovery of his
marriage and attempted divorce, I'M
questionably cost him place on the
first team and deprived the Rough
Riders of the rare distinction of occu-
plying three of the four backfield posi-
tons
Savolid ran well ahead of all full
back rivals until the late returns
showed a sudden switch to Len Maca-
luso, Colgate'S high-scoring ace. Even
so, Macaluso's final margin was close,
118 to 103.
There was no doubt about the ends.
Fesler's total of 306 and the count of
ITO for Frank Baker of Northwestern
topped the list.
The race for the honor of being
Sington's running mate at tackle was
close fought between Glenn Edwards
235-pound bulwark of the Washington
State line and George Van Bibber of
Purdue. Edwards won out, 176 to 161.
The 154-pound dynamo of Notre
Danes line. Bert Metzger. ran away
with the ballots for guard, collecting
239 as compared with 1874 for his run
ming mate, Wade Red" Woodwork of
Northwestern. The latter, in another
close fight, nosed out John Baker of
Southern California, who polled 158
votes.
Ticknor's superlative performance in
Harvard's conquest of Yale apparently
swung the argument at center in his
favor after a close early race with Mel
Helm of Washington State The Grim
son captain wound up with 211 votes
and Helm with 1877.
