New Xork, Dec, 4-(UP)-- The United Press today pre- sents its 1942 All-Amerlcan football team, chosen by sports editors and writers from coast to coast.
 As in past years, the Mid west, with six players, again dominates the team. The East placed three men and the South two. For the first time in many seasons the Far West failed to place a man on either the first or second teams.
 Three of the All-Americans are repeaters = Frank Sandwich of Georgia, almost a unanimous choice: Bob Dove, Notre Dame end, and Dick Wildung, Minnesota tackle.
 Unlike last year when the voting reflects the absence of any dom- inant player or players, the ballot- ing this year brought out three men who ranked far above the others. They were Sinkwich, who received l,004 points out of Q possible l,045; Wildung and Dave Schreiner, Wis. consin's brilliant end.
 Sandwich Predominant
 Sinkwich was given a first team AANkla a kAaRN tAnlAafe IYA was named on the second team six times and was not mentioned on one ballot. Schreiner received 7S2 points and Wildung 7lS.
 The closest first team contest de- veloped between Paul Governali' of Columbia and Glenn Dobbs of Tulso for the fourth position in the back field. The Columbia passing ace won out by I2 points.
 Men who participated in the voting had seen every important team in the nation and the result represents the best cross-Section of opinion that is possible to obtain.
 Team Personnel
 The personnel of the team:
 END-Dave Schriener, Wisconsin. A good end last year, he reached his peak this season. He performed brilliantly all year, but turned in his two outstanding performances in Wisconsin's big games against Ohio State and Minnesota. Coach Harry Stuhldreher rated him the best blocker on a team composed of uniformly good blockers.' Covers punts brilliantly and is fine pass receiver.
 END-Bob Dove, Notre Dame. In making All-America last year he was noted for catching Angelo Der telli's passes. Started season as guard but shifted back to end. Is fine pass catcher.
 TACKLE-Dick Wildung. Minne- sota. 4 regular for three years, the first two of which the Gophers went through undefeated. Selected on 10 All-American teams last year and his play was even better this season despite the teams slump.
 TACKLE-Al Wistert, Michigan. Excels as an offensive blocker and opened the holes that made Michi- gan's reserve plays work so well. Played 549 out of a possible 500 minutes. Received Waiiing Wall ''Lineman of the Year" trophy.
 GUARD - Harvey B. Hardy, Georgia Tech. Noted for diagnos- ing plays, consistently good on of- fense and gets down well under punts.
 GUARD-Alex Agase, Illinois. A scrambler, busy every minute of the game. he got more publicity than any lineman this season on two not able performances. The first came early in the season against Minne- Sota when he stole the ball and re- covered a tumble behind the goal line for two Illinois touchdowns and a victory over the Gophers. In the following game he blocked punt which led to Illinois victory over Iowa.
 CENTER-Spencer D. Moseley, Yale. Rated the best center Yale has had in % years. A great in. spirational leader who has an un- canny sense of knowing where the oall is going and who has it at all times. His work in the Harvard game gave Yale the Big Three" title. Enlisted in Naval Air Force and will report for active duty upon graduation.
 QUARTERBACK-Paul Governali, Columbia. Coach Lou Little rates him as best all-around player he has had at Columbia and the equal if not the superior to Lucknan as passing. He tied collegiate forward pass touchdown throwing record with I9 and was only lS yards short of all-time college passing distance record.
 HALFBACK - Frank Sinkwich, Georgia. Nations statistical cham pion in i94l and again this season. Recognized as one of the hardest running backs ever to play in the south and one of the country's out standing forward passers. Won Heis- mSn trophy as outstanding player of the year.
 HALFBACK - Billy Hillenbrand, Indiana. He led his team to seven victories out of 10 games for the Hoosiers' best record since 1917. Car ried ball l32 times for net gain of 494 yards, threw i03 passes and completed 50 of them for s98 yards and had only seven passes inter- cepted. Most feared safety man in the Big Ten.
 FULLBACK-Mike Holovak, Bos- ton College. An old-fashioned kind of line bucker whom Gil Dobie, former B. O.. coach, rated as 20 per cent of the football team" A triple threat back, he was rated as one of the nations best as 6 backer- up, playing up close to the line and managing to be in on nearly all the tackles. Tn first four games, Holovak gained more ground alone than the entire backfields of West Virginia. North Carolina Pre-Fiight and Wake Forest. He carried e total of i77 times for a net gain of 0T2. A good faker and ace blocker. he
