NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Boston Col
lege, unofiicial champion of the East,
places three men on the all-Eastern
football team compiled today by the
Associated Press.
Drawn from the Boston array
which will face Tennessee in the
Sugar Bowl New Year Day are
Charley O'Rourke, brilliant back;
Chet Gladchuk, huge center, and
George Kerr, scholarly guard.
Cornell, although 1t dropped its
last two games, and with them the
Ivy League title to Penn, gains two
places on the all-star team. The
other places are shared by Harvard,
Penn, Pitt, Georgetown, Yale and
Fordham.
O'Rourke's backfield mates on the
mythical team are Walt Matuszczak,
Cornell quarterback; Francis Xavier
Reagan, sensational Penn star. and
line-cracking George Kracum Of
Pitt.
With Gladchuk and Kerr in the
line are Loren MacKinney of Har-
ward and Alan Bartholemy of Yale
at the ends, Nick Drahos Of Cornell
and Joe Ungerer of Fordham at the
tackles and Agostino Lilo, George
town veteran, teaming up with Kerr
at guard.
OF these all are seniors except
MacKinney and Bartholemy, who
are juniors. Drahos and Lilo are the
only repeaters from the all-star
team of 1899. The 1910 team aver
ages 202 pounds in the Line and 1876
in the backfield, where ORourke's
158 pounds cuts sharply into the
average.
Versatile Reagan a Standout.
Reagan's place on the team was
secure beyond any challenge, for the
great Penn triple threat stood out
head and shoulders beyond any
Eastern rival for an-around value
Only in the Michigan game was he
stopped cold, and in that test Penn's
line was clearly outplayed.
But the other three backfield
nominees all had to Withstand real
competition. MatuszcZak, husky
blocker and play-caller for Cornell,
barely beat out another great block
er, Boston Colleges Henry TocZy-
lowski. ORourke, a standout in
Bostons vital game with George
town when Georgetown's 23-game
unbeaten streak was broken, found
a half dozen serious challengers
on his heels, among them Andy
Tomasic of Temple, Hal McCul-
Tough of Cornell, Dave Allerdice
of Princeton, Len Eshmont of Ford
ham, Bill Busik of Navy and Henry
Mazur of Army.
Kracum beat out such other full
back aces as Steve Filipowicz, Ford
ham sophomore, Mort Landsberg
of Cornell, Jim Castiglia of George
town and Walter Zirinsky Of
Lafayette.
Flank Competition Keen.
Competition over the end posts
was sharp all the way. Bartholemy,
a fine pass catcher and great de-
fensive player, was Yale's most
consistent player all season. Mac
Kinney, who did most of Harvard S
kicking. performed brilliantly, par
ticularly in the closing stages OF
the season when Harvard began to
move. But their edge was small
over such rivals as Alva Kelley of
Cornell, Hugh Barber and Joe Sic
gal of Columbia, Vince Dennery
and Jim Lansing of Fordham and
Len Warner of Penn.
One of the East's finest wingmen
Gene Goodreault of Boston College
drops back among the honorable
mentions because injuries suffered
in the Georgetown game kept him
out of the Eagles important games
with Auburn and Holy Cross.
The toughest choice of the lot
was at center, where the East had
a banner crop including the 242-
pound Gladchuk, Leon Gajecki OF
Penn State, Don Snavely of Colum-
bia, Lou de Filippo of Fordham
Ray Prick of Penn and Frank
Finneran of Cornell.
Few could challenge Kerr and
Lilo at the guard positions, and
Drahos and Ungerer were equal
standouts at the tackles, where
the field was limited to an extraor-
dinary degree.
