And today, with three sparkling years of competition completed, they were chosen on the 16th annual All- Arherica team selected by The Asso- ciated Press on the basis of a nation- wide survey of expert opinion.

Kimbrough's talents were employed chiefly as a bruising blocker in the early engagements but when he finally was turned loose as a ball carrier he bulled through Arkansas, Southern Methodist and Rice for some 300 yards. Altogether four members of last year's All-America cast were selected again. The others were Nicholas Dra- hos, Cornell's bulky tackle, and Paul Vincent Severin, North Carolina end. Franck Gains Honor Rounding out the backfield with Kimbrough and Harmon were George Franck, fleet-footed halfback of Min- nesota's powerful unbeaten machine, and Frank Albert, Stanford's smart and versatile quarterback. With Boston College's giant Chet Gladchuk at center, the line forms with Bob Suffridge of Tennessee and Warren Alfson of Nebraska at guards, Bob Reinhard of California as Dra- hos' running mate at tackle and Er- win (Buddy) Elrod of Mississippi State serving with Severin at end. Albert and Reinhard are juniors, the others seniors.
