NEW YORK. Nov. 5. (UP).-
For the first time in years the
east appears 70 have the edge on
the rest of the country as ALI
America hopefulS begin the No
vember drive toward gridiron inn
mortality.
= The Atlantic Seaboard sector
still has seven unbeaten but un-
tied tcamS-mOrc than any other
part of the couutry-and thanks
10 those clevens, and others,
there are enough players in the
east 20 assure il quite repreSen-
tation when the various honor
teams start appearing next
month.
The nation rs a whole is loaded
with star players and the work OF
selecting the II outstanding ones
is going 70 be quite a task be-
cause for every position there are
az least five or six candidates
with equally impressive records.
Only at the guard posts is there
a shortage of material. In all
other pOSitionS-particularly CEN
ter-keen races seem imminent.
At the pivot spot there are nine
red-hot contenders. including Bob
Hcrwig of California. who made
the United Press team year
ago. and Fordham's Alexander
WOjciCChOwicz. who was named
on several other honor teams a
year ago. Pushing this pair are:
Nj Aldrich. Texas Christian, and
rated the greatest center in the
southwest: Carl Hlnkle, Wander
bilt, regarded by many TO be bet
ter than Vandy's Pete Gracey of
q few years back; Quinton Lump
kin. Georgia; Phil Dougherty,
Santa Clara; McCarty. Notre
Dame: Wolfe. Ohio State, and
Miller. Indiana.
The guard candidates are light,
but what there are OF them are
good. The southwest dominates
Joe Routt and Virgil Jones of the
Texas AggieS, best pair IN the
conference. Routt was on several
all-star eleven SiaSt year. The
South has John Moak, Mississippi
State, Leroy MOnSky. Alabama,
and Ralph Swell, Auburn. The
East has bernard of Fordham;
Little of Army and MeSicS, Tenn
pie. The Midwest contributes
Weld. Minnesota, kuharich, No
tire Dame, Calvano, Northwestern
and SirtoSkey, Indiana. The Coast
has Ward Stockton, and Claude
Evans. Both Of California. a
long list. but the best group right
now appears 10 be Routt, Jones,
Swell, Bernard, Stockton and
Evans.
On the ends are flock of good
players with the East nominating
the most - Souchak and Daddio.
Pittsburgh; JacunSki and Druze,
Fordham; Holland. Cornell and
WySocki. Nillanova. The Mid
West has Sweeney. NOtre Dame;
Castillo, Illinois, and King, Min
nesota. Down South are Bill Jor-
dan. Georgia Tech, and Andy
Bershak. North Carolina. The
latter had been regarded as a
good bet for All-America but UNI
fortunately he begged down last
week against Fordham. From the
Southwest comes Sam Boyd of
Maylor, ranking end of the divi-
son who is very largely response
bic for Baylor'S success, and jim
Benton Of Arkansas, who person
ally beat Texas and S.M.C. with
almost impossible catches Of
touchdown passes. The Coast
dominates Perry Schwartz, Cali
fornia. and Grant Stone, Stan
ford.
The list Of tackles is long and
high-claSs. Early season play in
dicates that the best in the land
are: Ed Franco. Fordham; MatiSi.
Pittsburgh Kevorklan, Harvard :;
Bruiser Kinard. Mississippi; Scho-
enbaum. Ohio State. Charles
Sprague. S.N.U.; Vic MaykOv,
Washington. and Bill Stoll Cali
fornia.
The number of good backs is
phcnomcnally large with every
section of the country contribut-
ing it's share. The East has
rlOck-Cliut Frank, Yale; Gold
berg. Pittsburgh: Colwell, Yale;
Macleod and Hutchinson, Dart
mouth: Brumbaugh, Duqucsne's
SlaShing fullback; Clickman, SYRIA
cusc, Kcarns. Lafayette, and
kopczak. Carnegie.
One OF the greatest backs in
the land plays for Colorado'S I'M
beaten BuffaloeS-Byron (Whiz-
zer) White. l90-pound quarter
back tabled as the best back in
the sector since Earl (Dutch)
Clark, the Coast has a trio of de-
mons - George Haramatic, Con
