out in spectacular fashion but
was injured in mid-season and
never recovered his form.
In the Far West, Jim Kissel-
burgh, Oregon State, was the
fullback standout after Stanford's
Standlee was hurt, and none
could dispute the all-around abil-
ity of such men as Dean Mead

but Elrod, a main cog in the
tough left side of Mississippi
States powerful line, would have
been a standout in any company
He rates as one of the greatest
defensive Wingmen the South
ever has seen and that section
has seen some very great ones.
A good paSs-catcher, Brilliant
downfield blocker and savage
sure tackler, Elrod suffered Z
fracture of two bones in his right
hand in mid-SeaSon yet played
cut the season as Sensationally as
he had begun it. For two full
+ seasons, he never was circled OF
run over for a first down. OPP.

ground at his end than they have
gained, an extraordinary record.
1t was not until the Duke game
that SEVERN clinched his place
on the All-America for the sec
ond year in succession. Troubled
by injuries in several mid-Seasor
games, the North Carolina stal
came back with a smashing fin.
ish- It was his magnificent de
fensive play that saved North
Carolina in the unexpected vic
tory over Duke and the close tus-
sic, with Virginia.
Pressing hard on the heels o.

Rankin, Purdue's steady veteran
