OHlCAGO, NON6Der ZO.-t our
or five members Of this
~ team deserve serious con-
Sideration for all-America
Rentner cannot be left off, nor
can Schwartz. Mum is as Valu-
able guard as therel is in the
country, owing partly To his kick
ing ability, and Yarr and Hoffman
are as good linemen as can be
found.
Rentner first featured as a remark
able forward passer, but his thumb was
crushed in the Illinois game. His long
runs game after game testify to speed
and elusiveness. Rentner has those de-
ceiving long strides with high knee &C
ton, and a remarkable stop and pickup
that enable him to break away. Coach
es and scouts rate him generally with
or even ahead of Red Grange.
Schwartz this year added fine punt
ing to his other attributes. His speed
made Notre Danes fast reverses their
strongest scoring threats, and his pass
ing was all that could be asked. He
was the leader Of his teams backfleld,
~
IN are the strongest teams in the
Middle West. Northwestern rates
two men on the all Midwestern and
Notre Dame gets four. Northwestern S
powerful team owes much of its showing
10 a big tackle, Riley, weighing around
a40, yet fast and active. So he gets a
place on the Midwestern team. For
The other tackle position, Kurth OF
Notre Dame has the best claim.
The ends are not so much to brag
about Moss should have played more
than he did at Purdue, but his pass
catching and punting, added to his
general work at end, give him the call.
Hewitt was the strongest end in the
Big Ten, although he played most OF
the year at fullback for the good of his
team Williamson, who played at end
for Michigan, probably was the best of
the other ends around. Kosky at Notre
Dame helped hold up the rugged
standard of his team.
The Middle West brought out great
youngster in Cramer, who started by
beating Michigan and got better every
game. At first he featured at returning
punts, but he made remarkable improve
ment as punter, passer and field general
NHANDERs was the best natural full
1V1 back, a great line plunger, espe-
Claliy valuable on SplQneTS De-
cause he could start fast. Notre Dame
has a good boy coming on in George
Melinkovich, a big, fast fellow like
Savoldi, but he was held back by
injuries.
There is also long list of other good
players who flashed from time to time.
Bob Monnett, Michigan State, was a
halfback almost up to the class of those
selected: Detroit had a good fullback
in ROCKY" Parsaca, and Gene Ronzani
starred for Marquette, which missed
John Sisk while he was injured. Ed
Krause Notre Dame sophomore tackle,
is boy who will be up there in an
other year or so.
Greg Kabat was a fashy guard at
Wisconsin, as was Jim Evans at North
western, and Bill Bell was the best
player in Ohio States strong line.
Purdue had good backs, led by Jim
Purvis, a veteran blocking right half,
and Paul Pardonner, sophomore quarter
back.
Maynard Morrison at Michigan again
was the best conference center Capt.
Sammy HorwitZ, guard at Chicago, and
Vim Sahlin, flashy little sophomore half
back, would have stood out on a stronger
team. Illinois had a good sophomore
end in Fred Frink, but Gil Berry, ALI
Big Ten back last year, was handi-
capped by lame back and a bad leg.
In minor circles, Bob Wheaton, De
PAW, was a halfback sensation.
