ACIleEeLneIIS III llG 1881 Associated
Press balloting The all-star repreSen-
tatives of the Fighting Irish are March
mont Schwartz in the backfield, Capt
Tom Yarr at center and Frank Hoffman
at guard. Northwestern placed Pug
RentneT among the ball carriers and
Dallas MarYil at tackle. The sixth Mid
Western honor man is Minnesota's 2l2-
pound captain, Clarence Mum.
The South furnishes the two all
America ends in Capt. Gerald Dali
rymple of Tulane and Vernon (Catfish)
Smith, Georgia's colorful performer.
The Far Vests contributions to the
first team are Erny Pinckert, star
blocking back OF the University of
Southern California, and Paul Schweg-
Ter, great tackle of the University OF
Washington.
Dalrynple Second in Votes.
The results of the Associated Press
ballotlng in the seventh annual con-
sensuS since Walter Camps death 5ndi-
cate striking support Tor several of the
choices. Schwartz was voted the years
outstanding back, with 255 votes out Of
q possible go.
Dalrymple was not far behind in total
votes with 225, and Mum With POI
rated as the outstanding lineman.
Rentner with 211 votes and Wood with
218 also were overwhelming favoritss.
Leadership of the Midwest was main
tanned in the selection of second and
third all-America teams. OF the total
OF 33 players placed II go TO the Mid
west, 8 to the East, TO the South, 5
TO the Far West and l to the Southwest.
Last year the Midwest led with II,
while the Far West game places, the
East 8, the South 4 and Southwest l.
Pinckert by Nose.
The principal contests in the 1891
balloting involved the fourth backfield
position and the second tackle job.
Pinckert, the only repeater besides
Schwartz, neaded strong closing support
to stiff arm such fine rivals as Gene
McEver of Tennessee, Don Zimmerman
of Tulane and Bart Viviano Of Cornell
for the post Of honor with Wood,
Schwartz and Rentner.
Not far behind these performers, n
the roundup of ballots, were Bill Nor
ton Of Dartmouth, the second team
choice for quarterback: Carl Cramer,
Mohler of Southern California, Weldon
speedy Mason of Southern Methodist
and Able Booth of Yale All of these
stars placed on the all-American squad.
Ends Prove Their Glass.
Smith and Dalrymple easily proved
the class Of the ends, riding along on
q tidal wave Of votes. Capt Henry
Cronldte of Kansas State and Capt.
Johnny OrSi of Colgate gained strong
support, as did Garrett Arbelbide Of
Southern California and a comparative
stranger TO the big league" bally-
hoo, Fred Felber of the University Of
North Dakota
Cornells star end, Jose Martinez
Gorilla, attracted widespread attention
among the critics. So did the grand
opera twins OF Holy Cross, CAVALIER
and Colucci
Marvil was well ahead of the field
IN the final tabulation of votes for
tackle, but Schwegler of Washington
had a strenuous time gaining the de-
Clsion on the other side of the line.
Fine tackles were numerous, especially
in the Midwest.
Kurth and Krause Of Notre Dame,
Riley Of Northwestern, MacMurdo and
Quatse Of Pittsburgh, Price OF the
Army and Rhea of Nebraska all caught
the eye of the experts. Kurth, espe-
cialy, ran strong and came close to
giving Notre Dame a fourth first-string
spot in the All-America lineup.
Baker Closes Strong.
Mum and Hoffman were the out
standing choices for guards, although
this position also developed strong
backing for number Of good men.
Johnny Baker Of Southern California
undoubtedly would have given either
f1rSt-String choice a stronger run if he
had performed against all rivals as
he did in playing the heroic role
against Notre Dame
Evans of Northwestern, Hickman of
Tennessee and Kabat Of Wisconsin
were other leaders but the list OF
noteworthy guards also included Hor-
WITT Of Chicago, Hyntell of Holy Cross
and Zeller Of Indiana.
Yarr's only real rival in the bal
loting for center were Ralph Daugh-
erty of Pittsburgh and Maynard Nor
riSOn Of Michigan. Experts who have
seen all three perform are sharply
divided in opinion. Several expressed
the belief Daugherty outplayed Yarr
when they met on the gridiron at
South Bend, even though Pittsburgh
was humbled that day by the Ramblers.
The NOtre Dame captain had a big
margin in the actual votes.
MANY bTlliidnt bdckS.
So bright and numerous were the
years backfield luminarieS that the
limitation Of the All-America squad 10
II leaves q flock Of stars with nothing
better to show than an entry In the
honorable mention list.
Down in West Virginia they regard
Cliff Battles Of West Virginia Yves
leyan as a combination of Grange and
eagle. But Toscani of st. Mary's SINH
larry impressed all who saw him per-
form on the Pacific Coast for the team
that beat Southern California and Cali
fornia on successive Saturdays
Mcnnett ran wild for Michigan
State. Jack Orchard was slashing
ball carrier for Harvard. SO were Jack
Ferrare, Cornell sophomore; Ralph
Hewitt Of Columbia and Jim Murphy
Of Fordham. Minnesota partisans lik-
ened Manders to Joesting and Nagurski
Of Al-America fame.
Notre Dame Dominates.
For the past three years Notre Dame
has so far dominated the All-America
selections as 10 double the number Of
entries from any other institution
Eight places have been won by the
Fighting Irish sggregationS of l92s-3l
including Schwartz twice and Carideo
twice. Northwestern has won foui
places. while two each have beer
gained by Minnesota. Harvard. Pitts
burgh, Southern California, Alabama
and Ohio State.
