Who's Who
Two-platoon football, with its shuttle-relays of offensive and defensive teams, keeps fans frantically pawing their programs to find out who's who. This year the All-America pickers, too, suffered from the confusion. If a man played solely on offense--and never made a tackle all season--could he still be an All-American?
Pickers for the Associated Press, International News Service and Look sidestepped by naming offensive and defensive All-Americas; the United Press and Collier's bucked straight ahead and picked a single, old-fashioned eleven. By this week, 43 players had been named to somebody or other's All-America. Only four--Ohio State Halfback Vic Janowicz, Oklahoma Tackle Jim Weatherall, Texas Guard Bud McFadin and Army End Dan Foldberg--made everybody's first-string.
