is credited more than any other player with Riceis record as the best defensive team sn the Southwest. Despite his 2i4 pounds, his speed has enabled him to run down sev- efal fast backs apparently away for tOsichd0wns. Around home town Houston his victims are described as having been "isumbled." He is ranked with the greatest of South west lknenen including such ale time standouts as K Aidrich Of Texas Christian and Botchey Koch of Baylor.
 Tackle-warren Amling, Ohio State. 4 guard on last years All- America, he switched to tackle as Coach Paul Blxier's request because of shortage of talent and handled the position even more proficiently than his old spot. old timers at States football hotbed call him one of the greatest competitors in the schools history. He moves fast and hits with terrific force though usually he is outweiehed. Played 800 minutes out of q possible so for a real iron man stunt at foot balls most punishing position. 4 perfectionist his ability stems more from perfect technique and e cool head than physical equipment.
 End--HenTy Foldberg. Army. Kingpin of the s1perlative Army line, he is big, rough and tough. Said by Army coaches to be the best nneman on the team. He is fine pass catcher but likes best to play defense where he is hard to move as Notre Dame, Navy and Michigan will testify.
 Quarterback - Johnny Lutack. Notre Dame. Most valuable for his brilliant team direction. he was an all-around star. a top-flight passer, runner and defensive man. Mid- west writers describe him as the best Notre Dame back since Frank Carideo starred in Ie30. His best games were against Army where his direction of playt was virtually fiawiess. against Illinois where the opposition was consistently be- fuddled by his unorthodox play caIi- ing, and Northwestern where he engineered tc1r touchdOwns.

Past with 6 remarkable change of pace, he is just as efaclent defensively. par- ticulariy on pass intereeptions. Per- haps the greatest offensive star in Army history.
 Halfback - Charley Trippi Georgia. The seasons ''one-man team" Trippl stood out because he personally engineered the schools unbeaten and united season with his great offensive work. Tn addi. ton to his touchdown production on passing and running. he haG been the teams most reliable sec ondaFy defense man and has lost 10 pounds this season backing up the line from the safety position.
