The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams. The headings at the top of each column refer to the selector (see legend after chart).

Blondy Wallace and the Biggest Football Scandal Ever
1984 PFRA Annual No. 5 BLONDY WALLACE AND THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL SCANDAL EVER By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1906, the fierce rivalry between the Canton and Massillon pro football teams took a nasty turn toward the unsavory. Most of the nastiness that sometimes showed through in 1905 came from fans goaded by newspaper hyperbole. Incendiary phases like "hated foe" and "bitter enemy" lit up sports pages and ignited fiery oaths on street corners, but managers George Williams of Canton and J.J. Wise of Massillon conducted their clubs with the ethics typical of American businesses at the time. There might be surprise signings of stars such as Michigan's Willie Heston and tricky contract negotiations like Canton's "exclusive" with Carlisle, but ultimately there were real limits to how far either side might go to humble and humiliate the other. It was all right to hit below the belt, but no brass knuckles please. But before the 1906 season ended, all restraints disappeared. Each side stood accused by the other of unfair and illegal practices. There were charges of darker, more dastardly deeds by individuals on both sides. Each club swore never to play the other again. And each was likely to follow through on the threat because both were out of the football business. For Ohio professional football in general and for Massillon and Canton in particular, 1906 was a season of unprecedented disaster. * * * To many Canton minds, the first shot fired in all- out war came a few days after the Massillon Tigers defeated the Canton team for the 1905 state championship. -

Fighting Illini Football History
HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov. -

What's Happening to Our jgj Merchant Marine !' "No wonder it made Milwaukee famous Opening a bottle of Schlitz is like open- ing a familiar and well- loved book. You know it holds enjoyment you can depend upon . that each and every time you'll find tbe same touch of genius. the same quality of greatness. Through the story of this fine beer runs the classic theme of ideals upheld for almost a hundred years. the historic background for that matchless flavor which makes men say, "No wonder it made Milwaukee famous!" Copyright 1947, Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., Milwaukee. Wis. The Beer that made Milwaukee Famous Iilea With A Heart When the Alabama legislature abol- ished the use of tax tokens last October the American Legion rolled up its sleeves. Arthur Greenwood, a prominent Bir- mingham restaurant owner and faithful Legionnaire, fostered the idea of collect- ing the defunct metal and plastic discs and putting them to good use. He and State Commander Jimmie Lane were in agreement that the money for redemp- tion should be turned over to the Crippled Children's Clinic in Birming- ham. Over one hundred Posts sprang into action when an appeal was issued throughout the state. In the week fol- lowing, a continual stream of tokens poured into boxes in theater lobbys, into barrels on street corners. School chil- dren were asked to bring tokens from home. Newsboys conveniently made a house-to-house canvass. Boy and Girl Scouts, armed with explanatory letters of the drive, besieged merchants, who were most cooperative in contributing to the cause.
