Man On Outfit

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-4R-Navy,
winner Of the Lambert trophy as
football champion Of he East,
landed three players on the an
nual all-eastern eleven selected for
the Associated Press by coaches,
sports writer's and officials.
The Midd;es, beaten only by No
tire Dame and victor for a fifth
straight time over Army, not only
dominated the first team but grab
bed eight places on the first three
elevenS.
George Brown, 193-pound guard;
AL Channel six-foot end and cap
tain of the 1943 Naval squadron;
and Harold Hamberg, passer de
luxe and spark-plug of the aggre-
cation, were honored on the elite
lineup.
Browns running mate at guard
is John Jaffurs Of Penn State, who
moved up from the 1912 reserve
team, Jonn F. McNanhan of OAR
mouth, shares the flankers' duties
with Channel.
While the football OF display, as
a whole, in this area did not COM
pare with that CT the peace-time
spectacles Of the past, there was
no falling off in the class of the
tackles.
There was no doubt regarding
the rights of George Conner, Holy
Cross, and Francis Merritt, Army,
to the frs, team. Cornor, 230-
pound youngster W h O awakened
with a crash in the Holy Cross
Boston College debacle of a year
ago, carried on with the same fury
all season and helped bring the
Crusaders . recor'i OF six wins
and two defeats. He is the only
repeater from the 1912 first team.
Notre Darne honored Merritt to
the extent OF putting two men on
him in their Yankee Stadium clash.
Their selections shunted u C h
other stalwarts as Don Whitmire
and Ed Sprinkle Of Navy, Cleo
Calcagni of Cornell. Bernard Gal
lagher OF Princeton and Herb Mel
son of Pennsylvania to lesser hon
ors.
Casinir A1yslinski, retiring cap
tain of the Army eleven, W a S
named pivot of the front wall that
averages six-foot one-inch in height
and weighs 1913 POUNDS from end
to end.
In contrast to many all star
backfields. usually made up of
four hashy ball carriers, the pres
ent aggregation is adept at all
phases CT gridiron magic.
Robert OJell, Pennsylvania ALI
America candidate, would do the
blocking, cali the signals and more
than prove his right to the honor
with his tackling.
Hal Hamberg is a strong runner
and an outstanding kicker d
passer. Dor Kasprzah of Dart
mouth. also is runner and is
regarded as a better passer than
Paul Governai of Columbia, whose
flips earned him AL America hon.
ors last yea1. The blasting would
be done by Mike Micka, 185-pound
battering ram from Colgate.
The honor eleven is unique in
that probably for the first time
not a single man from the erst-
while Big Three-Yale, Harvard
and Princeton-is selected. Both
Yale and Princeton had poor years
and Harvard played only infor-
mally.
