 Yale's Rhapsody In Old Blue
Like Peabody,
 Is All-America Aspirant From Culture Belt
By BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New Haven, Nov. Hast year it was Endicott Peabody II. This sea- son it's Spencer Dumaresq Nose ley.
 This is not Who's Who" of , Cafe Society or the latest heart throbs among the couturiers. This is rough, rugged football - whose Sinkwichs and Harmons come from steel mill centers and whose Filipo- wiczc and Matisis come as tough as they are hard to pronounce. The culture belt is hardly proli- fic source of All-America football names. In recent years, other sec tions-particularly the South and Middle West-have monopolized the honor roles. Endicott Peabody IT of Harvard stood out like an 80-year- old chlorine in Billy Rose line last season.
 Just to prove that Peabody was no fluke and that Harvard can never outdo Yale, the Ellis have come along with their strongest All-America candidate since Clint Frank rugged, explosive Spence Moseley.
 MOSELEY IS THESPIAN Austrere Yale made no overtures to Moseley and none were neces- sary. His father, George c. Nose ley, Yale IT, played end on the Eli gootball teams of 1914 to '16, deceived All-America distinction his senior year. Spence is nephew of Egbert Spencer, Yale '12; Dumaresq Spencer, Yale IS; and Frederick Spencer, Yale '22 He is rhapsody in Old Blue.
 He prepped at lush Hill School, where he played three years of football, and attended equally swank Cheshire School for a year before entering Yale. He doubled in hockey and baseball at both in- Stutions.
 Moseley, g, stands 6-feet, weights IFS hard pounds. Although he is no the executive board of the Yale Dramatic Association and had a leading role in their original musi- cal comedy. The Waterbury Tales, there is nothing effete about him.
 Moseley played brilliantly in the sieve-like Yale line last season, despite a brace on his jaw which had been broken in an early prac- tice (sic Sinkwich). His father sent him out west at the age of 13, and he spent nine summers there doing everything from digging ditches to punching COWS.
 He has worked as logger, banned gold in Oregon and bummed through the west on the freights.
 Reg Root, veteran Yale freshman coach, shifted Moseley from end to center in 1899. During the lean years of 1940 and Al, he was cred- ited with being the defensive main- stay of the Eli dyke. Five collegiate sports editors chose him as All-Ivy League first team center last sea- son.
 As captain this year his fire and competitive ardor have blended ad- mirably with the coaching of How ard Odell. They have the rich young men of Yale fighting their heads of, and the results are be- gining to tell. YALE BOUNCES BACK
 After being overwhelmed by Pennsylvania and defeated by Navy, the resurgent Ellis have bounced back to whip Dartmouth and Brown. The team is young and inexperi- enced for the most part, but under O'dell's expert guidance and Nose leys inspiring leadership in battle, they are maturing rapidly.
 Moseley is a savage operative afleld. He backs up the Yale line with pulverizing efficiency. His tack ling is deadly, his blocking crisp He is mobile and he has savvy.
 Enlisted in the Navy V-5 branch, he will report for flight training in Febraury.
 Spencer Dumaresq Moseley intends to keep the board "a" in All-Am- erica.
