MIAMI,FLA.--(Special)--- As advertised last week, football fans, we are presenting our choices for the mythical title of All-America for the year 1950. We're writing this week from the home of the University of Miami Hurricanes but by the time you read this we'll be on the scene of the Georgia--Ga. Tech game. Tonight we view for the first time Coach Andy Gustafson's team as they take on . Saturday it'll be the old traditional Bulldog--Yellow Jacket contest.

Before we present our All-America choices to you let us hasten to assure you that these choice are strictly.our own * and may perhaps differ entirely from those of our contemporaries i.e. Grantland Rice, Bill Stern etc. Some ancient barb has put it---"As this old world goes round' and roun; some go up and some __ go down.".This has been and probably always will be the complete story of each Saturday's football turmoil. Like the keyhole man in the door factory, the Old Sailor who conducts this column sees g all knows all and tells all. That Is a-1-1 we know about the days football games. Yet, it seems a football expert (?) has no more future than a cake of ice on a midsummer's day. Oh, well on with the show.

These-and many others whose names would take up a couple more pages were-all given due consideration in making our choices. There are many many players who shone for just one game or perhaps just one play of one game but that instant of glory endeared them to all their fans. Virtually all collegiate football ends today. Only a handful of games remain to be played and none of these have an bearing * on the seasonal standings or the bowl picture in general. The season has been a startling one, filled with upsets and last minute strength-sapping victories almost every weekend. Notre Dame's great streak was broken noe once but three times and may be broken again when the Irish and Southern California meet out on the Pacific Coast.

Princeton and Lehigh were the surprise teams in the East. No one figured either of them to go through the season unbeaten.For Lehigh it was the first undefeated Engineer season in 67 years,and something Coach William B. Leckonby and well be proud of. Cornell moved along smoothly until they met Princeton and then got a shocker from doormat Columbia the next weekend but returned to good form the next week. Pennsylvania, beaten only by Army and California looked mighty good all season though much of the credit goes to Captain Francis (Reds) Bagnell0

) In the sunny South, Kentucky with a schedule which favored them, pranced through an undefeated season on the strength of a good line led by All-America Bob Gain and the pinpoint passing of Vito 9 (Babe) Parilli and the running of Bobby Martin and Wilbur Jamerson. LSU rallied after a slow start to tie Georgia and beat Vanderbilt before the SEC giant-killers, Mississippi State got them. Tennessee lost twice, to Mississippi State and Kentucky but piled up an impressive record otherwise. Alabama with Butch Avinger and Eddie Salem operating in the same backfield dumped Tulane in the seasons opener but got beat by Vanderbilt and Tennessee, then roared back to nip Mississippi State, Georgia and romp all over Georgia Tech. Georgia had a surprising season and one truly confusing to the bookies. Picked to fall to Maryland by two touchdowns they beat the Terps by three.As 30 point favorites over St. Mary's they were tied,7-7.As 13 point favorites over LSU they were tied,13-13. as 20 point favoritex over Boston College they won 19-7, As slight favorites over Mississippi State they walloped the Maroons,27-0. As 20 point favorites over Auburn they squeEzed by 12 ,to 10. Bob Woodruff's Floride team suprised many but the biggest and best surprise was that of Miami,Fla.

In the midwest, a different team seemed to grab the headlines each week but the two big ones were Ohio State and Illinois. Wise- onsin threw in a couple of surprises but were eliminated from Bowl contention by Penn. Notre Dame was a miserable failure.
