NEW YORK Dec 19.-As the
smoke from the All-Alnerica bal
lots cleared away, the great mid
west emerged with a clear-cut ad-
vantage over all rival sections on
the football battlefields.
Repeating their conquests Of 1880
the outstanding stars of the Ameri-
can midlands carried off six of
the eleven positions of the AL
America consensus, compiled by the
Associated Press from the ballots
of sports writer's and editors in all
parts of the country,
The south and far west, each Of
which disputes the mid-west's claim
to team supremacy, gained two po-
sitios apiece. The lone eastern
representative on the eleven is
William Barry Wood, Jr., Harvards
captain and outstanding choice of
the. nation for the quarterback role
occupied for the previous two years
by Frank Carideo of Notre Dame.
Schwartz Repeats
Notre Dame, with three places,
and Northwestern with two, dupli-
cate their achievements in the
1890 Associated Press balloting.
The all-star representatives Of the
Fighting Irish are Marchmont
Schwartz in the backfield, Captain
Tom Yarr at center and Frank
Hoffman at guard Northwestern
placed Pug Rentuer among the ball
carriers and Dallas Marvil at
tackle. The sixth mid-weStern
honor man is Minnesota's PIP
pound captain, Clarence Mum.
The south furnishes the two ALL
America ends in Captain Gerald
Dalyrymple 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 Univer-
sity of Southern California, and
Paul Schwegler, great tackle of the
University of Washington.

- The results of the Associated
Press balloting in the seventh an
nual consensus since Walter
Camps death indicate striking sup
port for several of the choices.
Schwartz was voted the years out
standing back, with 225 votes out
of a possible 270.
Dalrymple was not far behind in
total votes, with 225, and Mum,
with 201, rated as the outstanding
lineman. Rentner, with 211 votes,
and Wood, with 2l8, also were over
whelming favorites.
Leadership of the midwest was
maintained in the selection of Sec
ond and third All-America teams.
OF the total of 33 players placed,
IA 60 to the midwest, eight to the
east, five to the south, five to the
far west and one to the southwest.
Last year the midwest led with
II, while the far west gained nine
places, the east eight, the south
four and southwest one.
Pinckert By A Nose
The principal contests in the
1881 balloting involved the fourth
backfield position and the second
tackl JOB. Pinckert, the only re-
peater besides Schwartz, needed
strong closing support to stiff-arm
such fine rivals as Gene McEver of
Tennessee, Don Zimmerman OF
Tulane and Bart Viviano of Cor
nell for the post of honor with
Wood, Schwartz and Rentner.
Not far behind these performers,
in the roundup of ballots, were Bill
Morton of Dartmouth, the second
team choice for quarterback; Carl
Cramer, Ohio States flashy sopho-
more; Orville Mohler Of Southern
California, Weldon speedy Mason
of Southern Methodist and Albie
Booth of Yale. All of these stars
