\ Jew YORK, December s.
VI For the fourth successive
l Y year foot ball stars who
develop their brilliance in
he great American midlands
ominate the All-America team
t 1892.
Their margin over the three other
main sectors of the gridiron battlefront
5 not so pronounced as in the past two
SEASONS but, Midwestern players occupy
our of the first eleven positions in the
honor lineup The East and the South,
including Texas, each gain three places
IND the Far West only one in the
eighth annual All-America compiled by
he Associated Press.
The All-America squad Of 80 players,
including the shock troops" OF the
eccnd and third elevens, numbers IL
rom the East. eight from the Midwest,
seven from the South and six from
the Far West.
The selections climax a season in
which great teams rather than great
individuals, scintillated. There were q
number Of flashing ball-carriers espe-
cially in the South, but outstanding
cams like Colgate, which was not
scored on In nine straight victories;
Pittsburgh, Southern California and
Purdue all achieved fine records be-
cause Of balanced, well-drilled strength.
Newman Stands Out.
LINE support enabled Harry New
L man, Michgans resourceful and
versatile quarterback, to emerge as
one Of the seasons few dominating
individuals. As result Of the stellar
role he played in bringing about most
Of the Wolverine triumphs, by passing,
running or kicking. Newman was virtu-
ally the unanimous choice Of the Ma
TONS experts for the Job Of quarter
backing the 1882 all-stars He is with
out question the ablest field general
since Frank Carideo piloted two straight
unbeaten Notre Dame teams. He ex-
GELS Carideo as q pAsser and ball
carrier.
Two other Midwestern aces-Paul
Moss, rangy Purdue end, and ice Kurth,
brilliant Notre Dame tackle-shared the
distinction OF being outstanding selec-
tons, although close observers felt there
was little to choose In consistent per
Torrance between Kurth and his rum
ming mate In the Rambler line, Ed
Krause.
Don Zimmerman, Tulane's feet back,
who had his greatest season despite the
loss Of experienced running mates, and
Capt Milton Suinmerfelt. stalwart Army
guard, also were clear-cut choices Of the
big majority Of critics.
Injuries Shelve Three.
THE contests and rivalry for other
i positions all were keen, as variety
Of factors figured in the liquidation
Of the final All-America results. In
juriss baked the chances Of Ernest
pug Rentner, Ncrthwestern's 1881 all
star halfback, gaining this honor again.
A broken ankle In midseason against
Harvard abruptly shelved Dick King
regarded by Maj. Ralph SaSse as one Of
the greatest ends in West Point history.
The doctors kept Orville Mohler, South
ern Califofnia's field general and the
outstanding back on the Pacific Coast,
from finishing his career as an ALL
American.
Kings inability to finish the season
left the race for the other flank position
wide open. It was won, after . flock
Of arguments, by the fiery young Mex
lean, Jose Martinez Gorilla Of Cornell,
whose ability to knife through inter-
ference, rise to emergencies and block
kicks combines to furnish q fine run
ming mate for Paul Moss, q specialist
In pass catching and punting as well as
m excellent defensive end.
Kurth, polished 1ineman In every
respect, and Ernie Smith, trombone
playing star Of the Southern California
forwards, easily won the favor of ex-
perts for the tackle positions. Their
running mates, Krause of Notre Dame
and "Tay" Brown Of q. s. c., were their
principal rivals and were given the
preference In some minority reports
Pittsburgh's Walton, Cornell,s Abe
George and Dukes Freddie Crawford
also were standputs. Brown University
struck an unusual note by having a
pair OF Brown brothers In the tackle
positions
Powerful Center Trio.
THE center trio, ali important In a
i modern game that calls for agility,
speed and blocking by the guards
plus rare defensive skill by rowing
pivot, developed another series Of argu-
ments before the All-America places
were allotted.
In the choice of running mate for
summerfelt at guard. the added weight
and drive of Capt. Johnny Vaught Of
Texas Christian gave him the edge over
Capt. Bob Smith, key man of Colgate's
sturdy line. At center, Lawrence Ely Of
Nebraska, foremost lineman the Big
Six has developed since the days of Ed
Weir, gets the call over Pete" Gracey,
Vanderbilt's great snapper-back.
Fast. Versatile Backfield.
THE quartet selected for the AL
L America backheld emphasizes the
importance Of forward passing In
the modern game. Harry Newman Of
Michigan, Warren Heller Of Pittsburgh,
jim Hitchcock Of Auburn and Don
Zimmerman Of Tulane all rank among
the greatest Of collegiate passers. All
except Heller are good kickers. With
Newman an expert at placements. All
can run, block and tackle with the best
