In Stanford Attack;
Backs Singled Out
By HERB BARKER,

NEW YORK. Nov 13-Putting
the finger on last weeks outstanding
all-American football recognition:
The lad who makes that dazzling
Stanford offense click is Quarter
back Frankie Albert, Junior. In
the crucial game with Washington,
Albert was a standout all the way
and rated the orchids he got for the
way he loosened up the Huskies'
defense. found the weak spots and
called the plays that meant the ball
game. He is unusually gifted in
feinting the opposition over on the
wrong side on pass plays. When
Fullback Norm Standlee was hurt in
the first quarter, Albert took over
kicking duty and averaged 40 yards,
almost as good as Washington S
dean McAdams. Clark Shaughnessy
SAYS he has no coaching worries so
long as Albert is running the team.
All-American John Kimbrough OF
Texas A. and NJ, whose fullback
post was endangered by Shameless
brilliant play. poured 1t on against
Southern Methodist. Earring John
was his old unstoppable self against
the Mustangs. Another 1899 all
American, Tommy Harmon of
Michigan, was stopped pretty well
on the ground by Minnesota's great
defense and the slippery going. but
he passed and kicked like
champion. He completed nine OF IA
passes, including one for TOUCHDOWN,
and booted at 43.6-yard clip.
Minnesotas leading ground gamer
turned up in Bruce Smith, whose
8o-yard touchdown run helped him
average rs yeards III Is tries.
Nelson of 'Bama Landed.
Jimmy Nelson. Alabama junior,
belongs in the forefront of back
field contenders. After last weeks
game. Tulane players said Jimmy
was the best back they had faced all
year, and the Green Wave has faced
some good ones. including Charley
ORourke of Boston College, Dick
McGowen and Lloyd Cheatham OF
Auburn. Len Eshmont and Steve
Filipowicz of Fordham, Jim La
lame of North Carolina and Ed
Names of Clemson.
Art, Jones, Richmonds triple
threat. was something of one-man
riot in the upset victory over North
Carolina. passing for both Richmond
touchdowns and adding the extra
points that spelled triumph. l4-l3.
ANY discussion about passers
ought to include Paul Christman Of
Missouri and John Supulski of Man
haitian. Christman completed 10 OF
20 against Colorado, two of them
for touchdoWns. and scored Mis-
souri's other touchdown himself.
Supulski, who has completed 40 OF
102 this season. completed seven in
the winning touchdown in their
wild and woody, 45-4l. duel.
Once more. it was JUNE HoVlous
and Merle Hapes for Mississippi in
the rout of Holy Cross. 1t is doubt
full whether any team in the land
has two such talented backfield per-
formers
