By DILLON GRAHAM ALL TilliE + IT WAS fifteen years ago this fall that the first Pi Kappa Alpha All-America football team was selected ALL-HKA and published in THE SHIELD AND DIA­ MON D. During those years ITKA has been FOOTBALL represented on the gridiron by many great football players, standouts at every position. ~1!/ml Since I have selected mo t of those teams and have assisted in the selection of the others, it was suggested that I look back over the yea rs and, in con­ nection with thi 15th anniversary of the start of this annual feature of THE SHIELD AND DIA~W N D , choose an all-ti me Pi Kappa Alpha All-Ameri ca. There are headaches enough to re­ viewing the exploits of all of ITKA's performers in a single season and trying to tab the eleven best players. And to reduce the standouts of fifteen years down to one team of stars brings a headache at almost every position.
