for "all-this" and "all-that"
football teams, permit me to
present an All-Griffith Stadium
selection which is the handi-
work of my faithful ally, the
Masked Marvel, who turks in
the shadowy crevices Of the
ball park whenever college
teams embrace.
If you will recall The Mar
vel's selections and comments
Of the past two years, on which
occasions he has submitted his
findings hereto, you know he Is a
master mind, a scrutinizing critic
and a student par excellent Of the
pastime.
The Marvel's Choices
His choices for stardom are an.
nually q pleasure to voice because
they represent expertness Of view
point, fairness of analysis and
above all often point out the
things which are normally quite
hidden to the eye of the casual OBJ
server.
Below, therefore, the MarvePs
Marvers full selection is submitted,
but here and now We would give
full selection is submitted,
you his first team and follow it
along with some Of the highlightS
Of his comments:
First Team: BuchanOn, st.
Mary's, left end; DiSend, Albright,
left tackle; AnthOnavage, C.. u,
left guard; Nichols, Rice, center;
White, Alabama, right guard;
Whatley, Alabama, right tackle;
Sylvester, Rice, right end; Smith,
Alabama, quarter; GuckeysOn,
Maryland, left half; Carroll, c. u,
right half, and Leemans, G. w,
fuIlback.
According to The Marvel, this
years problem was to pick a
single backfield from a wealth OF
outstanding material. Adversely
It wasn't easy to come to a decl-
sion about linemen, principally
because teams like Alabama and
Rice we're constantly changing
their forward walls.
All.SeasOn Performances
The Masked Marvel selected his
local players on their all-season
performances, but NATURALLY had
to make his choice from visiting
teams on their sole appearances
here. -.-.-
He finds that Buchanon and
sylvester stood out as ends, the
former by Spilling interference
and grabbing his man and Syl-
vester, because he was tall, fast,
q demon on defense and a bril-
liant pass receiver.
The Marvel is panied to keep
tackles like Deming and Karpo-
wich off the first team, but he
notes the deplorahle fact that
each had an off day at Griffith
Stadium.
Catholic University, for in
stance, he finds, rallied for two
touchdowns against West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan after Karpowich
left the game, and, despite the
fact Deming played great against
Rice and Tulsa, he looked dead
against 'Bama.
In the guard spots, Anthona-
wage Shone consistently in The
Marvel's eyes, with Kolker not
far behind. However, the playing
of White was so outstanding that
the other guard position needs
must go to a visitor.
Nichols wins The MarvelS call
0t center because the Rice middle
man displayed impressive de:
fense and rare passing marks
manship. Rathjen was another
who had a bad afternoon against
Alabama, else he would have
made one of the MarvePs center
spots.
Some Profound Regrets
In the backfield, where The
Marvel admits he had to look
deep into the performances before
making up his mind, are placed
Riley Smith, Alabama, at quar-
ter, signal-caller, runner, paSser
and kicker after the true grid
fans heart. And since Guckey-
son, Carroll and Leamans have
the same triple-threat attributes,
they are bracketed with the great
Alabama player for the honor Of
