rated tops as a punter, linebacker
and blocker. IF anybody ever
was All-America, Kosse is"
Coach Jess Nicely said.
The All-America line. which |
averages 203.5 pounds per man,
is f1anked on one side by Do
honey, 193-pounder, who excels |
on defense. He personally |
checked Giel and threw back a
Wolverine threat in Michigan
State victories over Minnesota
and Michigan.
Morley Stars on Defense.
Morley, who caught As passes
for 594 yards and 6 touchdownS,
was exceptional in his first |
year of playing defense. His
diving catch of a touchdown pass |
against use was typical of his
offensive talent.
Morris, the only junior to go
with the otherwise all-Senior
lineup, was the best linebacker
and blocker for Georgia Tech.
Minis, who stood out in every
game, and Roberts. kingpin of
one of the finest lines in the
Nation, were excellent 200-pound
guards. Minis rushed opposing
paSserS and kickers constantly,
blocking three punts in two
games. Roberts, a defensive
specialist in so, was unsurpassed
on offense. Against Colorado he
blocked a punt to set up one
score, then threw a block that
enabled a teammate to race 81
yards in the final 36 seconds for
the winning score.
Jones, top-Weighted man on |
the squad at 235, was the bull |
wark of a defense that held
Maryland's opponents to a mere
81 points. He was the key |
blocker in the national cham
plonS' of tackle power plays. |
Shanafelt was the principal rea-
son Penn made as good a show
ing as it did on its suicide"
schedule.
FalOney Outstanding.
Although there is always criti-
cism and disappointment over
all-star selections, Maryland does
seem to have a reasonable COM
plant about Faloney's absence
from the first team. He was
fourth in HeiSman Trophy bal
loting-Which certainly should |
put him among the four best |
backfield men in the country.
During the season he also was
back of the week once, and twice
was runnerup.
Also a surprise was the fact .
that Hanulak did not make any
of the first three teams. He led
the country in yards per carry
and it's hard for the College
Park experts to imagine that
there are IL better backs in the
Nation. Another point of con-
tention was the fact that no
lineman other than Jones made !
even the honorable mention list.
That Jones would get a top
spot was a foregone conclusion.
He now has made all the wire
service All-AmericaS-A. P, U. P.
and INS-plus those for Look /.
and Golfers magazines and
those of the neWsreels.
Gaskell Mentioned.
Maryland had Jack Scarbath,
now with the Redskins, on the
A. P's first team last year and
Tackle Dick Modzelewski on the
second. although Little Mo won
more honors for a lineman than
did most members of the first
team.
