Writers Disagree With Coaches on Whizzer
 White, Kinard, Too

citation today announced what is perhaps the most comprehensive and intelligently polled All-Amer- lcan team ever selected. The 1888 All-Star professional team, named by 2O5 member sports writers from every National Football League city is the All-American team in ques- ton.
 Since Casper Whitney originated the idea back in the days of turtle neck sweaters, All-American selec- tions have been arrived at by var ious and devious methods. High pressure press agents. big-time schedules and geographical loca- tionS, with an eye to their bearing on circulation, are all important factors in the choice of collegiate All-American teams.
 Ability, team value and sheer were the only factors con- sidered in the football writers sel- ections. As reporters assigned to pro football games, association mem- bers had an opportunity to study every player in action under fire and they were free from the inf1u- ence of college and sectional loyal ty.
 Disagree
 This is reflected by the fact that the writers teams are at variance with those selected by National League coaches. Two first year men Byron "Whizzer" White, Colorado Rhodes scholar, and Frank "Bruis- err Kinard, ex-Mississippi star, whom the coaches relegated to sec ond team positions, were named by the writers on their first team. White, the leagues leading ground gainer, despite the fact that he played with the hapleSs Pittsburgh Pirates, was placed at left halfback. star of the Brooklyn Dodg- CT line, was named right tackle.
 The outstanding difference in the teams, however, occurred at center where the coaches, as has been their custom for the last six years, again named Captain Mel Hein of the worlds champion New York Giants. The writers favored Frank Bausch of the Chicago Bears. Bausch won the position by a margin of only four points in the closest competi- tion the writers balloting de- veloped.
 Clark Hinkle, Green Bay full- back, topped the entire poll, being on the first team in all but 19 ballots. Clarence "Ace" Parker of Brooklyn was second. He was se- lected for first team quarterback on all, except A ballots. The next heaviest vote went to Ed Widseth, Giant tackle, who polled more points than any other lineman.
 Stydahar Second
 The writers agreed with coaches at the ends and guards placing Don Hutson of Green Bay and Gaynell Tinsley of the Chicago Cardinals on the Hanks and Danny Fortman of the Chicago Bears and Russ Letlow Packer veteran, at the guards. Joe Stadahar, giant Bear forward who was the coaches selection at right tackle, was second team choice in the writers opinion.
 Lloyd Cardwell, Detroit halfback, whom the coaches placed on their first team, failed to make either the writers first or second team. Ed Danowski of the Giants was the scribes' choice to team with White on the first team and Alfonso '"Tuf- fy" Leemans of New York and Ce- cil Isbell of Green Bay were award- ed the second team berthS. This pro cedure gave the writers the league leading ground gainer- White-the leading Danowski-and the leading scorer = Hinkle - in their first team baekfield.
 The writers second team back 6eld-Isbell and Leemans, halfbacks, Baugh of. Washington, quarterback, and Bill Shepherd of Detroit, fullback, gave them four raen in this combifla- ton
 Bill Hewitt. who experienced return to the form that, for several seasons, made him footballs out standing end, won q second team place with his Philadelphia eealn- mate, Joe Carter, a tanker who has not been given the recognition due him previously. The secono, team guards also were teammates, the writers selecting Johnny Dell Isola and Orville Futile. both of New York.
 MuSso Not Tops
 Here again the writers disagreed with the coaches, who selected George Musso, Bear veteran. and Jim Karcher of Washington as their second team guards. Hewitt was the coaches choice at left end and on the second team, but, at right end, they placed Milt Ganten- oein, Packer veteran and captain, instead of Carter.
 Nine of the ten league clubs are on the writers first two cams. Cleveland, although its Johnny Drake. Corby Davis, Chuck and Jim Benton re- ,eived heavy support, is the only cam not represented.
 Green Bay placed three men on he first am-Hutson. Letlow and ainkle. The Giants were awarded .wo places. Widseth and Danowski ,eing the New York players select d. S.
 The Bears, with Fortmann and and Brooklyn, with Kim ard and Parker. also landed two nen on the first team. Tinsley gave the Chicago Cardinals one epresentative-and White did like wise for Pittsburgh.
