NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-RE
Smashing play by leading tackle
candidates marked last weeks
performances by the nations po-
tential All-America football line
men.
Setting a pace few of his rivals
could match was big Nick Drahos
of Cornell, a member of the k39
Au-America. This sixt-foot, three
inch stalwart from Long Island
played 60 minutes of brilliant foot
ball against Ohio State. He was a
tower of strength on defense and
offense all day and place-kicked
the Big Reds three extra points.
On the other side Ct the con-
tinent another great tackle pros
pect was doing a spectacular 60
minute job-Bob Rinhard, of Cali
fornia, who likewise towers six
feet three inches. Regarded by
many Pacific coast criticS as that
sectors finest lineman, Reinhard
was a terror against Washington
as the Golden Bears just missed
scoring a tremendous upset. Rein
hard, who does CALIFORNIA; kick
ing, averaged AIT yards and out
booted Washington's highly rated
Dean McAdams.
Four Western conference tackles
were standouts on Saturday. Al
Wistert, Michigan sophomore
played hob with PENIS offense ali
day; ALI Bauman of Northwestern
was an immovable object in a line
otherwise outplayed by Indiana
Mike Enich, Iowa captain, played
plenty of football against Mime
sofa whose sophomore, Dick Will
dung, also looked good.
Among the ends, the south, as
usual, is producing a banner crop.
Paul SEVERN. North Cardinals
1889 All-America, was up to his
old tricks against Tulane, catch
ing one touchdown pass and play
ing a fine all-around game other
wise. Two other fine Southern con-
ference wingmen, Joe Blalock of
Clemson and Alex Urban of South
Carolina, waged a due on the
same field and some experts
thought honors were about even.
In the Southeastern conference,
Jim Lenoir of Auburn, Bob Ison
of Georgia Tech and Buddy Ell.
rod of Mississippi State, all looked
good.
Warren Alison and Ed Schwartz
kopf of Nebraska caught the eye
among the guards last week.
Against Missouri, Nebraska's
tackles dropped back into the Sec
ondary, leaving the guards Nup
there to take the punishment. Mis-
souri's record of q yards rushing
is one sign Of just how effective
Alton and Schwartzkopf were.
Among the centers, Frank (Bud)
Finneran of Cornell and Claude
White of Ohio State, put on a
great show at Ithaca. Each played
the full go minutes. Finneran in
tercepted three passes, directed
his blockers after each intercept
ton and got away for nice run
backs. One of these led to Cor
nell's third touchdown. White play
ed so well that Cornell used Mort
Landsberg, speedy fullback, only
occasionally on spinners. Another
fine Eastern center, Leon Gajecki
of Penn State, played a bang-up
game against Temple.
