As 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 THREE AL-STAR TEAMS PICKED BY 228 CICHES The Athlete and Sportsman maga- zine, national college sports publica- ton, published in Columbus will carry in its December issue, selections for three All-American teams picked by the votes of 228 of the leading foot- ball coaches of the country. The coaches were canvassed by Jim Thorpe, famous Indian athlete, Charles Paddock, world's champion sprinter, and James Fetzer, editor in chief of the Athlete and Sportsman. Thorpe i and Paddock are associate editors. The teams as selected by the; coaches are as follows: first team, ends, Tully, Dartmouth and Ooster- baan, Michigan; tackles, Weir, Ne- braska and Lindenmeyer, Missouri; guards, Carey, Cornell and Hess, Ohio State; center, Brown, Michigan; quar- terback, Grange, Illinois; halfbacks,; Tryon, Colgate and Oberlander, Dart- mouth;' fullback, Nevers, Stanford. Second team: ends, Thayer, Penn and Kassell, Illinois; tackles, Fender- son, Chicago and Joss, Yale; guards, Mahan, West Virginia and Diehl, Dart- mouth; center, McMillan, Princeton; quarterback, Friedman, Michigan; halfbacks, Flournoy, Tulane and Wil- son, Washington; fullback, Lewis, Northwestern. Third teams: ends, Dillweg, Mar- quette and Sloan, Drake; tackles, Par-1 ker, Dartmouth' and 'Hawkins, Michi-! gan; guards, Cochran, Lafayette and Carey, California; center, Sturhan, Yale; quarterback, Pease, Columbia; halfbacks, Wilson, Army and Slagle, Princeton; fullback, Wycoff, Georgia Tech. When Stanford defeated California, recently, it was the Cardinals' first victory since 1905. From 1905 to 1914 the schools played English rugby, as American football was, forbidden. '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 haea 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. t 1 tI a (By Assoited ress> ' (tMr. Salsinger said that this is not' DETROIT, Dec. 5.-Fracturing the the first year that one school has been precedent which heretofore has pains- entitled to large representation on an takingly avoided placing more than all-American team* Last year, he two members of one team on the my- said, Notre Dame's "four horsemen" thical roster, H.

Friedman, Wilson, and Ob- erlander also are exceptionally good 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.
