Durability Around Center.
THREE players from widely sep
arated sections make up the center
Of the mythical line. with iron-man
qualities and resourcefulness featuring
their records. Max Starcevich Of
Washington, Mike Basrak Of Duquesne
and Joe Routt of Texas A. and M.
were key men In three of the finest
lines operating anywhere.
Basrak played q devastating game
At center. Operating so minutes of
every game for two straight years
until taken out in the last one, to re-
ceive an ovation, he was the No. l
answer to Duquesne's upset conquests
Of two otherwise unbeaten teams,
Pittsburgh and Marquette. An &C
curate snapper-back, fast and a vicious
tackler, he mopped up nearly every
thing breaking through the Dukes
line Against Marquette, Basrak made
the frst eight tackles. He consistently
diagnosed opposing plays and was a
tower on pass defense.
In the East, Basrak's main rivals
were Alex Wojciechowicz, the utility
man for Fordham's famous forward
wall, and Pennsylvania Jim Hauze,
a stonewall defensive performer. The
South argued the relative merits Of

for an average gain Of nearly II yards

Baugh In this department Of the
ofense.
Buivid was not 20 elusive in broken
feld as Minnesota's Andy Uram, the
flashiest Of all the Gopher backs, but
he did more things ably for . longer
stretch per game. Uram, for instance,
averaged only 80 minutes Of action, a.
though he was the biggest threat to all
of Minnesotas opposition. including
Northwestern. Purdue's Cecil Iseell
and Indiana's Vern Huffman were
Buivid's main Midwestern rivals for
all-around honors, in addition to being
kicking specialists.
Baugh's passes, producing more gains
than those tossed by any other back IN
major league college ranks, pulled
Texas Christian out Of an early season
slump. The ace of the Horned Frogs
overcame Q leg injury that kept him
out Of one game entirely and ham,
pered his running ability by loosine
one of the greatest passing barrages on
record. In 10 games Baugh completed
81 out Of I'll passes for an aggregate
gain Of LOTS yards. His kicking. while
not as spectacular q that Of Francis
or Parker, was above average. He die

with those Of Frank, Parker AND

Frank.
The choice of Buivid and Parker
rests largely ON their an-around su-
periority over . nr-nber Of other con-
tenders for all-st,.r recognition. Parker
completed three years Of superlative
play at Duke by turning in his best
season. Comparable to Francis As .
consistent long distance kicker, Parker
rated as the South's premier running,
blocking, passing, pass-catching and
tackling backfleld performer. Among
such rivals as Phil Dickens Of Ten

Tinsley Honored Twice.

TINSLEY, the only repeater in this
years all-America lineup, may
lack some Of Kelley's color, but his
fiair for the spectacular has won him
the highest praise accorded any Of the
Souths great ends. The Louisiana
State star added catching skill to
his blocking and tackling ability this
year, with dazzling results. He took
passes for touchdowns in most Of
l.. S. us games. Only Auburn was
able to make any gains around his
side of the line and that, according to
detailed accounts, was due to . mis-
understanding on the down called BY
the referee.
In the same game Tinsley pulled
one of the greatest pieces ofsdown-feld
blocking witnessed all season in the
South. After taking out the opposing
tackle at the line of scrimmage, Tins
ley got up in time to take out another
player who was just about to tackle
the ball-carrier, Miner. Not content
with this, Tinsley, still in action,
spilled q third opponent and made 1t

Tinsley and Kelley, clearly the
country's outstanding pair Of ends,
shared the popularity roles in this

braska's versatile fullback, Sam
Francis; Minnesota's co-captain and
star tackle, Ed Widseth, and the key
man in Washington's great line, Max
John Starcevich. Q great guard.

! praise from the Panther coach, Jock
Sutherland. Francis gained more
ground through the rugged middle Of
