NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Picked
after close, all-season survey
by 210 of the country's outstand-
ing coaches, sports writer's, foot
ball officials and observers, the
Hearst consensus all-America foot
ball team presented today ranks,
in the opinion of its selectorS
and gridiron experts, as the
cream of the 1888 football crop.
From end to end it shows a for
ward wall fit to clash with any
that could be set up against it.
At left end, Skladany of Pitt Is
held the choice of virtually all
those voting on the makeup Of
the team. The Panther star was
chosen for national ranking by
nearly everyone who saw him in
action this year. Powerful, smart
and shifty, he is eminently fitted
for one of the wing posts. The
other goes to Ted Petoskey, Of
Michigan, a wingman who has
proved himself on what many
observers regard the strongest
beam IN Cne country.
Crawford Named Tackle
At the tackles are Crawford,
of Duke, and Ceppi, of Princeton.
The latter'S fine work through
out the season, but particularly
in the Yale game, where he shone
on the attack and proved him.
self invaluable on defense, gave
him the call.
Corbus, Stanford's great guard
whose name has dotted most of
the selections of the mythical ma
tional elevenS, is picked as one of
the best the West Coast has pro-
duced in several seasons and hold
ing down the same spot on the
other side of the line is Rosenberg,
of Southern California, and q
natural for the job.
At center, Bernard of Michigan
is picked as a fit successor to a
long succession of Wolverine stars
who have held the keystone job
and proved themselves IN it.
Equal to Any
Selection of backs for national
team is always ticklish job but
the consensus all-AmeriCa ct
stands out equal to any
ton, if not a bit superb ~
the standpoint of brainy, uecep-
tive play.
Cotton" Warburton, heady
field general and scintillating
broken field runner of Howard
Jones' Southern California aggre-
cation, gets the call for quarter.
His selection was virtually unan-
imous, although Cliff Mont
gomery, Columbia's dashing leader
who will marshal the Lions
against Stanford in the Rose Bowl
clash, was close second in the
choice of the eastern selectors.
At left halfback is the slaShing,
pounding Pug" Lund, of Min
nesota, coupled with Feathers,
Tennessee's plunging ace who has
stood out in the southern sector
for the past three years.
Sauer at FulIback
Sauer, of Nebraska, a powerful.
heady. brilliant back, gets the call
for full. Bulwark of the Big Six
champions this year, Sauer was
almost impossible to stop, and a
defensive back unmatched by any
one in the country, in the opinion
of many.
The second team is scarcely
inferior, with DeS Isola, Ford
hams great rowing center;
Harvey Jablonsky, Army's bril-
liant guard; the flashing Mont
gomery; Ed DanoWski, premier
kicker and smart plunging back;
GeiSler, an outotanding wingman
in the Southwest, and Schammel.
of Iowa, rated tops" in the Big
Ten-which is tops anywhere.
Since its inception half a dozen
years ago, the consensus All.
America" has come to be re-
garded by coaches and football
fans as the choice selection Of the
country.
BallOted at Seasons End
The balloting for choices was
not ma lie on the basis of a game
or two, or on sectional brilliance.
Everyone casting a ballot for the
team saw all his selections in
action against major opponents.
and in at least one intersectional
clash. And not until the season
was ended was the ballot1ng
started, precluding the chanca OF
a national eleven featured by
choices from erstwhile leaders
who suffered upsetS in this sea.
son of so many upsets.
