Know Them by Their Deeds
The deeds of the All-American NOM
inees speak for themselves. It las
been many years since a quarterback
piled up such splendid record as
that spread upon the gridirons of the
southwest by Davey O'Brien of Texas
Christian university, quarterback of
the All-American. Undoubtedly he is
one of the greatest passers the world
ever has seen, and has accomplish
ments in that department alone dim

of these he threw to five different
receivers - Looney, Clark, Horner.
Clifford and Hall.
But, besides passing, O'Brien. car
ried the ball 90 times in those games,
including the Texas game, gaining 1868
yards His direction of the team has
been flawless. He has proved him

game.
Two Back From 1887
Two of the men selected are ALI
American veterans - Marshall Gold
berg of Pitt, and John Wysocki of Viii

as he did in 1887, but he is the key
man on the Panther team, carrying
his teammates along with him by his
lnspirational leadership. Hampered
by injuries, he has shown no letdown.
BY his sportsmanship and devotion to
the game he has won the respect of
every Pitt opponent
Wysocki has shown the same liz
orthodox, irrepressib1e brilliapce at
end which. won his All-An1erican nom
piratiofi' last year.

the All-American But it was Ge0rge

Alabama down with a crash from tie
seats of the mighty. A powerful line
smasher, he not only reeled off tire
mendous gains against the Crimson
Tide. but put Tennessee in position
to vanquish Vanderbilt with his passes
and runs.
vic Bottari, taking up where ALI
American Sam Chapman left off,, is
chosen by players as the best back on
The Pacific Coast this year, adding
fouward passing ability to his running
prowess.
No Score Through There!
The contest for center was close
between Dan (Tiger) Hill of Duke, the
radh,,btable Aldrich of Texas Chris

As the center in line that has allow
