It is a well-known - fact, though Texans are likely to dispute it,
that Pennsylvania annually produces the top football talent in the
country. Yet isn't it strange that only three Pennsylvania boys were
named:to the first string on the AsSociated. Press' All-East team?
On any top college team throughout the country one can find
Pennsylvania boys in the starting lineups, and often times it's the
Keystone Staters who are the
sparkplugs and leaders of their
teams.
On All-American teams in the.
past, present, and no doubt in ,,
the future, Pennsylvania boys
have and will hold their own.
Names like tujack, Hart, Gal
iffa, Bednarik, Trippi, and now
Parini and Modzelewski are
. familiar names in the sports
• world.
A large part of Michigan State's
undefeated team is from Pennsyl
iania, one entire
side of the Miami,
U. line is from
enns ylvania,
and in spite of
all this only
three, Ed Bell,
Penn's end from
Philadelphia,
Dick Pivirotto,
Pringeton back
from -Pittsburgh,
and Vic Bihl, Princeton center
from Harrisburg, made the AP
team.
All three were named to the
defensive platoon. Not a single
Pennsylvanian made the of
fensive team. Seven positions
went to boys from Massachu
setts. •
It looks as if the best Pennsyl
vania talent doesn't remain in the
old home state, but wanders to
every other part of the country.
We do think that a few Penn
sylvania boys were unjustly over

namely a few Penn State boys,

NEW YORK, Dec. 4—(P)—
Tennessee has a year's lease on
the Father O'Donnell trophy,
emblem of ,the nation's No. 1
college- football team as deter
mined by the Associated Press
poll.
The trophy was given to the
Tennessee team last night at the
•annual football banquet in anti
cipation that the Vols, unbeaten
in 10 games this season, would
be ranked first.
Today the ballots of 307 sports
writers and sportscasters were
tabulated. Result:- Tennessee on

The Vols, in winning their first
national grid title, got 139 first-.

Michigan State was second with
104 firsts and 2,609 points, fol

New Orleans Sugar Bowl. Mary

ballots but scored heavily enough
for the No. 2 and - No. 3 spots to

Points are awarded on a - basis
of 10 for first, nine for second,
etc., down to one .point for a
:tenth place listing. .
The coming Sugar Bowl game
is the first to list- the nation's
No. 1 and No. 3 teams as its foot
ball attractions. The ROse Bowl
at Pasaderia comes up with Illi

Stanford,- No. 7.
The Miami Orange Bowl has
fifth-place Georgia Tech and
ninth place Baylor while the Dal

Texas Christian, No. 11, despite
its southwest conference title, and
Kentucky, No. 15.
Other teams in the first ten
are Princeton, sixth; Wisconsin,
eighth; and Oklahoma, the 1950
leader, tenth.

since not a single Penn , Stater
was named to the first or second
string on either the defensive or
offensive platoon.
Surely out of 44 football players
from Eastern colleges ,at least one
Penn Stater deserved a spot. We
especially feel that Bob Pollard
should have been picked, at least
to the second team.
The first string offensive unit
leaves little to be desired, with
Dis k- Kazrnaier tif Princeton,
Harry Agannis o f Boston U.,
Chuck Maloy of Holy Cross, and
Burt Talmage of Bucknell in the
backfield.
The defensive backfield also
seems pretty well stocked with
Bob Spears of Yale, Bill Whelan
of Cornell, Dick Pivirotto of
Princeton. and Frank Hauff of
Navy. Yet who is to say Pol
lard isn't as good as any of
these? Any fellow. who can play
practically 60-minute ball in
every game, average better than
seven y ids per rush on the
ground, and run back.punts like
Bob can certainly deserves
somethings '
On-the second string temps we
can see no one, with the possible
exceptions .of Brad Myers, Buck
nell, and Bob Honer, Villanova,
who can rate with Pollard.
The second team defensive
backfield posts went to Albert,
Bucknell; Kirk, Cornell; Stone,
Syracuse; and Fuqua, Army. See
anyone Bob couldn't hold his own
with?

crown in each of the final three
weeks.
The Father O'Donnell trophy,
given Tennessee conditionally last
night in belief the Vols would be
voted No. 1, is a travelling award
named in honor of Notre Dame's
president from 1940 through 1946.
It must be won three times by
a college to be retired. Michigan,
Notre Dame and Oklahoma each
had won it once prior to the
Tennessee annexation.
Penn State's freshman football
star, Jesse Arnelle, .of New Ro
chelle, N.Y., now will turn his
attention to basketball.
