 ARMY, NAVY TWO
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Staff COrrespondent)

The midwest, even more than in past years, once again dominates the team with eight positions. The east placed two men-a cadet and a midshipman-and the west one. For the first time in many years the south, normally football fac tory but hardest hit section in the dropping of this sport for the dura- tion, failed to place man on the first team.
 Only one of the All-Americans is repeater-Alex Agase, Purdue Marine trainee who led the voting at the guard position. Agase won guard honors at Illinois last year.
 No man drew such heavy support as did Georgia's Frankie Sinkwich in 1942 but four men stood out above the f1eld-three of them from Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish, upset final game, won five first team berths for one of the greatest team showings in all-America his tory.
 Accurate Angelo Bertelli, whose passing and quarterbacking led the Irish to six straight wins before he was called to the colors as a Marine, led the voting by a large margin, with 865 points.
 Second came Big John Yonakor, team mate, who caught so many Bertelli aerials, with 725 points, out of a possible 97O. Only two others drew more than 700 points. They were Captain Casimir Myslinski of Army, one of the greatest centerS in Cadet history with 705 points, and Tackle Jim White of Notre Dame, with 700 points.
 Men who participated in the vot- ing had seen every important team in the nation and the result repre- sentS the best cross section of opin- ion possible to obtain.
 The personnel of the team:
 End-John Yonakor, Notre Dame. Big for an end, packing 215 pounds on a six-foot, four inch frame, he was one of the offensive stars of one of Notre Danes greatest teams. An excellent pass catcher, he made a perfect target for Bertelli and the latter'S successor, Johnny Ju- jack. He also was a particularly able offensive blocker and had the knack and poundage to break through interference to get at the ball carrier.
 End-Ralph Heywood, Southern California. A perfect end, tall, fast and rugged with glue on his fin gers. The ability of this six-foot one-inch wingman to take them on the fly made him one of the best catching ends ever seen in the west and he also stood out on defense Topping it off, Heywood often was pulled out of the line to do the Trojan bunting.
 Tackle-Jim White, Notre Dame Labeled by opposing coaches as tht | best defensive hneman in the mid. dle-west, he was a gridiron op- portunist. White pulled one of the outstanding plays of the season ir the Army game when he stole the ball from Cadet Glenn Davis to set up an early Irish touchdown. Big and fast, White also was an out standing offensive blocker.
 Tackle-Don Whitmire, Navy. One of the largest and toughest men in rugged Navy line that outplayed every forward wall it met except Notre Dame's. He was defensive terror, smashing through in every game opposing ball carriers for loss es. On the offensive, when Navy needed a few yards, it usually sent its ball carriers through Big Don's position, knowing that the lumber ing tackle would make the neces- sary opening.
 Guard-Alex Agase, Pure Il e. Known as a scrambler and busy man every minute when he won this honor at Illinois last season, Agase chandged, if at all, for the better. He was the mainstay of the Purdue line and gleamed particularly on defense. Like White of Notre Dame, he was particularly able ball stealer and key man in Purdue $ undefeated season.
 Guard-Patrick Filley, Notre Dame. A rarity among the rambling Irish because he actually lives in South Bend, Ind. Considered the best pass rusher in the midwest, he kept scoring by passes against the Irish to minimum. Short and blocky, he nevertheless was fast on his feet on both offensive and defensive plays, a sharp tackler and a hard blocker.
 Center-Casimir Myslinski, Army. Captain of the Cadet squad, he gained recognition as one of the mos table pivots in West Point grid iron history. A real star on de- fense, backing up the line with bone crushing vigor and making ma iority of the tackles. Played 55 min utes against Notre Dame and 60 minutes against Navy in Army's only two defeats.
 Quarterback Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame. Mastermind of one of Notre Danes greatest teams, one of the best aerial artists in gridiron history. Was the man who made the ''T' click for the Irish and his bullseye pitches made all of Notre Da1neS SIX games runaway. be1I after the Navy game, the sixth Irish triumph, to enter the Marines and although young Johnny Lujack filled in admirably, the team was visibly weaker than when accurate Angelo was in charge. Threw 25 strikes in 36 attempts for 51l yards and 10 touchdowns and scored AS points himself before leaving.
 Halfback - Bill Daley, Michigan. Brought back memories of Tommy Harmon to Michigan fans with his slashing running. Big and fast, he ripped opposing lines for total of 817 yards in six games - averag- ing 1862 yards per contest. Packed the ball for 57 points and also was an OlItcta pdiDD defensive nIay4r ho-
