Four men from Army's unde feated team, and three from Navy's twice-beaten eleven gave the east seven places with the other four going to mid-west Three of them came from Ohio States unbeaten Buckeyes, the na tion's No. 1 civilian team, and the other from Indiana. It was the first time since thel poU was started that so few as four schools were represented on the all-star team and it also marked mark-ed the first time in a decade that . the east has dominated the selec tions. In Drevious years It usual ly has been the mid-west. The south, usually well represented, failed to place a man on the first team although winning two second sec-ond team berths, while the best the far west did this season was one position on the second eleven Whitmlre Repeats-One Repeats-One of the all-Amerlcans is a repeater Navy's great tackle, Don Whltmire.

Korvath received the most first place ballots 65 with Whitmire and Blanchard receiving 63 each. The closest contest for a first team berth was between George Poole of Army and Phil Tinsley of Georgia Tech for an end position pos-ition with the Army man winning by 30 points. Bob Jenkins of Navy defeated Buddy Young of Illinois by 34 points to win a first ten backfield berth. Men who participated in the voting had seen every important team in the nation and the result represents the best cross-section of opinion that it is possible to obtain. The results strengthened the indications that the Army-Navy Army-Navy game at Baltimore Saturday probably will be one of the greatest great-est college football games of all times. The personnel of the team: End George D. Poole, Army. Rangey and as tough as they come, he is one of the defensive stars of Army's greatest teams. Standing six, two and weighing 220 pounds, he made the team as a Plebc, having played football last year at North Carolina. End Jack Dugger, Ohio State, even bigger than Poole standing six. four and weighing 210 Dugger Dug-ger was an- offensive star air though he lacked nothing on defense. de-fense. He was on the receiving end of many of Horvath's passes and handled his team's kick-off and place-kicking chores. Tackle William Willis, Ohio State. A master of the sliding ' brush block" of the T attack, this 215-pound negro was a defensive standout who steadied the Ohio State line. He piled up interfer On the return trip, three strong! army teams will be met. On Jan. 2 and 3 the Utahns will meet the Walker Army air field five at Victoria, Kansas. Traveling to Denver the Cougars will play the touted Buckley field team on Jan. 5 and their neighbors, Lowry field the following day, Jan. 6. The team will make its bow to the public Thursday in a double- header, when the second-stringers take on the Kearns Replace ment Center Personnel team at 7 p. m. followed by a game between be-tween the Alumni and the main string at 8:30. The Kearns squad contains some stellar college performers of Prep Basketball Schedules Drawn For Hebo, Alpine his bulk to race downf ield to cover cov-er punts. Tackle Donald B. Whitmire, Navy.

His all - civilian Buckeye youngsters at the moment are unbeaten, untied and unhappy because they were unable to accept ac-cept a Rose bowl bid when the Big Ten conference turned thumbs down. Turning in nine straight vic tories and winning the Big Ten title was easy, he says, because of the perfect teamwork between members of the coaching staff and the team, built around a nucleus of veterans and flock of freshmen. fresh-men. "We don't have any special technique to keep the boys keyed up for the big ones," Widdoes said. "We just keep playing football. foot-ball. We don't kid the boys about it; we tell them what they are up against and that it is up to them." How well that pattern worked is best revealed in the team's string of victories over Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Great Lakes, Minnesota, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Illinois and Michigan. Born in the Philippines, of missionary mis-sionary parents who are now prisoners of' the Japanese, "Wid" came to the U. S. when he was 13 to stay at a home that the United Brethren church maintains for children of its missionaries. !At little Otterbein college in Westerville, O., he was on the football, basketball, baseball and track teams, then went to Mas-sillon Mas-sillon Washington junior high as coach after his graduation In 1926. When Paul Brown became head coach at Massillon senior high, Widdoes moved up as his assistant assist-ant and the pair went to Ohio State in 1941. There were a few skeptics when Brown, entering the navy last year, selected "Wid" to carry on. Off the field, Widdoes is Mr. Average Citizen.
