Football is being played at approximately colleges and less than 10 per cent of those schools have been represented on Amer All ica lea teams te ms It is obviously unfair to attempt the selection of 11 men out of ot the and more who play the thc game Neglected Heroes Figuring loosely we find that between between be be- tween five fi and six hundred colleges nave never had an America AU-AmerIca football football foot foot- ball baU player Its It's just a bit fetched far I to assume assume that those schools haven't had players worthy of the honor Some of them certainly have had standout performers who deserved the rating Among their well-drilled well J numbers are bound to be equals of l A those hose picked but In hi the narrowing down process many are arc neglected because of oC the comparative unimportance unimportance of their school That's where the college publicity office enters into the scheme of at things Their job is to build up an any promising candidate His name must be

conscientious and andas andas andas as careful as possible in their selections se se- But an analysis of the situation minimizes the value of I picking 11 Wen men as the thc best players of the nation
