Selection of players for two
berths on the all-America
eleven this year was debated
at length by the Christy
Walsh board. The remainder
of the honor team was named
with ready and almost unani-
| nous agreement.
I Only one eleven was selected.
Many players we're considered, how
ever, and in the cases of center and
/ one guard, a deadlock was averted
only after much discussion. AS in
former years, the board has been
influenced neither by membership
on winning nor losing team.
( Carideo for the second successive
year, assumed the quarter back pO-
sition without one dissenting COM
ment. He was the only unanimous
choice. The Notre Dame star needs
no justification. He displayed a
cool and calculating mind, amaz-
ing poise, uncanny strategy and
magnificent blocking.
Ticknor Is Named
No kicker in this decade can COM
pete favorably with Carideo for &C.
curacy and position in punting and
/ converting goals after touchdown.
DuHieId, Southern California: DOdd.
Tennessee. and Morton. Dartmouth are
good quarters. but not in Carideo's class.
Another player to repeat is Itch
nor, Harvard captain, but not with
out considerable debate. Helm of
Washington State, champion of the
Pacific coast, crowded Tichnor for
the place. Tichnor weighs 1876
/ pounds, is tall, rangy and one of the
best on defense against passes. His
inspirational value to his team was
great.
Beckett of California and Line
han Of Yale get the guard posi-
lions after a three-cornered fight
with Metzger, the 153-pound Notre
Dame flash. Metzger was the hero
of every Irish victory. Beckett and
Linehan finally we're selected be-
cause, among other reasons, each
was a redeeming force on teams
that played below standards this
! season.
Both Weigh 200 Pounds
Beckett, a 2OO-pounder, is a val
liable man leading interference.
Coast critics, without exception,
name him as the best guard of the
year. Linehan also weighs 200
pounds and is a hard-driving play
er. Going down field under punts
he has few equals.
other star guards were Baker OF
Southern California; Steele. F1orida
KrajOcovic, Maryland; Kabat. Wisconsin;
Wisniewski, FOidham.
In order to keep Tichnor at CEN
ter and at the same time make
room for the finest lineman on the
Pacific coast, Helm of Washington
State was moved into tackle po-
sition. He played over fifty regular
scheduled games without once call
ing for time out or being removed
from the game. He weighs 1877
pounds and runs the hundred in
10.5.
The other tackle position goes to
Sington of Alabama with little or
no discussion. Sington is versatile,
with outstanding talent as a kicker.
Fast as a half back, Sington car
ries 225 pounds into his vicious
charging.
Edwards of Washington State and
Schwegler of Washington; Maree, GeOr-
gia Tech; Van Bibber. Purdue; Rhea,
Nebraska; Price. Army and Foley, Ford
ham, make up fine set of tackles.
Fesler Regains Berth
Fesler, Ohio State ace, an all
America end in 1923, came back to
his previous peak form this season.
In addition to being the backbone
and inspiration of the Buckeye
eleven. Fesler is the greatest natural
defensive end in years.
Dalrymple of Tulane is the best
end produced by the south in the
past five years. He has no ap-
parent weaknesses at the wing posi-
ton.
Baker. Northwestern: Nemecek. n. Y.
u; Riblett of Pennsylvania: ArbeIbide.
Southern California. and Ending of st.
Marys, ranked high among the wing
men.
Brill of Notre Dame and Pinckert
of U. S. c. get the half back as
signments. The brawny Irish star
seldom failed to stop the attack in
its tracks. It is generally conceded
that Brill was the greatest defen-
Sive back of 1890.
Pinckert Gets Job
Pinckert would make great run
