 The personnel of the team:
 End-Richard H. Duden, Navy. A converted blocking back, he came into his own as one of the best de- fensive ends in Naval Academy his tory. Big and aggressive at six feet two. and 203 pounds, his specially was blocking punts and camping in the opposition's backfield. Deserv- edly the leading point-getter among the nations ends.
 End-Henry Goldberg. Army. An offensive pass catcher deluxe when ever Army tired of running plays and took to the air to relieve the monotony, The rest of the time Hank" delighted in looking down from his six feet, one inch height and tossing his 200 pounds against enemy tacklers and ball carriers, real rock on defense and hailed as the standout of a fine crop of Army wingmen.
 Tackle--DeWitt Coulter, Army Another Texas terror on The Plains He might have had his 220 pounds in the wrong place once or twice but it wasn't very noticeable. The six foot, three inch giant was the man who opened those holes for Army's barrelhouse backs. And he also was one of the reasons why the Cadets forward wal was ranked as one of the best in the history of the collegiate game.
 Tackle-George Savitsky, Penn sylvania. The heaviest man on the team at a mere 250, and every ounce of it explosive action. A hardcharg ing defensive man surprisingly agile and fast. Defeated Columbia almost single-handedly with his blocking of puntS, setting up two touchdowns in the process. Army was the only team able to handcuff him all sea- son.
 Guard Warren Amling, Ohio State. The outstanding choice of the voters for a guard spot due to his excellent play in the underpar put still rugged Western conference. Not watch charm" edition, either, at 196, but able to pull out and move with the best of them. A home grown product whose offensive and defensive play saved the midwest from a Shutout.
 Guard-John Green, Army. Cap tain of the Cadets and justly so. Tie smallest man in the line at a mere five feet, II inches and 190
