Best Center In Conference
Over Brown
GRANGE MADE CAPTAIN
Walter Eckersall, leading sports
critic in the West, and football editor
of the Chicago Tribune placed eight
members of the 1925 Michigan foot-
ball team on his three mythical all-
Conference elevens. Three Wolver-
ines were chosen on the first team,
three on the second, and two on the
third eleven.
Friedman,. stellar quarterback of
the Michigan championship team, Oo-
sterbaan, and Edwards, were given
premier honors. Captain Brown, of
the Wolverines was placed on the
second team, Lowry of Northwestern
being chosen for the first team cen-
ter position. Hawkins, tackle and
Flora, end, of the Michigan line,
which was concged to be the best inI
the country during the past season,
were the other Yostmen placed on
the second tean.
"Battering Bo" Molenda, star soph-
omore fullback of the Maize and Blue
team, was rated as the third best
fullback in the Conference, while
Lovette was chosen to fill right guard
on the third team.
Benny Friedman was awarded the
quarterback position on the first team
on his all-round ability. Eckersall
characterized the Wolverine pilot as
being "one of the smartest generals
Coach Yost has ever developed- and
"Hurry Up" has had some good ones
at Ann Arbor.,"
Tim Dowry, captain of the North-1
western 1925 team, was ranked as
the best center in the Conference by
the Chicago sports critic by 'virtue of,1
his splendid work in the MichiganI
Purdue, and Notre Dbafii games. Eck-
ersall lauds the Purple captain for
his uncanny ability to pass a football
in spite of unfavorable playing condi-
tions. .
HarolL,''Red'.,range, "phantom of1
the gridiron" was selected for the leftt
halfbac1 position, and was made cap-_
tain of the mythical team. "Granger
must be acknowledged as the great-
est running back in the history of
football," Eckersall stated. "While
the gridiron game has produced oth-
er backs who possessed greater all-
round ability than Grange, none was
his equal in advancing the ball." I

zine, national college sports publica-

'By Assocmsted Press)
DETROIT, Dec. 5.--Two Michigan
linemen and one Michiganh back are
named All-Americans on the team se-
lected for the Associated Press by
Harry Bullion, sports editor of The
Detroit Free Press.
Oosterbaa-n, Brown and Friedman
are the Bullion selections from the'
Wolverine squad, but Brown is switch
ed from his position at center to left
guard to make room at the passing
post for McMillian of Princeton.
Darthmouth ties with Michigan for
the number of players it placed on'
this All-American. There is Ober-
lander at fullback, Tully at right end
and Parker at a tackle.
Princeton and. Harvard join Dart-
mouth in giving the East five places
on the team. McMillan of Princeton is
picked for center and Kilgour of Har-
vard at guard.I
The Middle West also has five play-
ers on the team; three from Michigan,
Grange of Illinois and Weir of Ne-'
braska, the latter at right tackle. The
eleventh man is Nevers, Stanford,
picked as Grange's running mate at
halfback.
"The players are chosen for the
strength they would offer as a team,
fully as much as for their individual
brilliancy," iMr. Bullion explained.
"On offense, Friedman, Oberlander,
Tully, Oosterbaan and Nevers would
form a forward passing combination
able to gain against any defense.
Should passes fail, the power for a!
straight attack is present in Grange,
Oberlander, and Nevers.
"McMillan, Brown, Kilgour, Parker,
Weir, Tully and Oosterbaan would
create all the openings the backs
named would need to gain ground.
"On defense, McMillan, Kilgour and
Brown are a formidable trio, capable
of taking care of anything aimed their
way, with Weir and Parker, the tack-'
les, shutting off the cut-in or cut-back
plays, or off-tackle slants.l
"Tully and Oosterbaan would let
lew plays get outside, and would turnI
most of them into tackles or guards,
where they would be smothered.
"With Friedman and Nevers to
handlepunts, kickoffs and place or
drop kicks, and Friedman and Grange
to run back the opposing kicks, this l
team presents all round strength."
The All-American team follows:'
Oosterbaan, Michigan and Tully, Dart-
mouth, ends; Parker, Dartmouth and
Weir, Nebraska, tackles; Brown, Mich
igan, and Kilgour, Harvard, guards;1
McMillan, Princeton, center; Fried-!
man, Michigan, quarterback; Grange,
Illinois, and Nevers, Stanford, half-
backs; Oberlander, Dartmouth, full-
back.j

Bert Griffi!n, fullback, has been el-
ected captain of California's 1926
football team. He was chosen by his !
teammates after the game with Stan-
ford.

defensive men, Mr. Salsinger pointed
out.
The omission of Grange from the
hypothetical eleven is explained thus-
fly:
"Grange's outstanding play in 1925
was confined to the Illinois-Pennsyl-
vania game, in Which he performed
spectacularly. In the other games
he was stopped. Iowa stopped him.
Michigan stopped him. Ohio stopped
him. Grange's sole distinction from
a hundred others is his ability to gain
ground through a broken field and to
return points. He does not pass; he
does not kick; and he is not a line
plunger. Defensively Grange is ordin-
ary.
"That is why I do not see Grange
as all-American material,"
According to Bill Lange, he has
signed Ernie Nevers, Stanford foot-
ball 'captain, for the New York Giants.
He is a pitcher who has made quite
a reputation in California collegiate
circles. Lange, who has watched
him, says he will make an outfielder
for he can hit, if he fails as a pitch-
er.
