All-Pro Football Team Is Selected Chicago, Dec. 4—(t’Pl—Cleveland’s champion Rama, led by the unanimous selection ot rookie Bob Waterfield, placed three men on the Vnited Press’ 1045 ail-pro-fessional football team today while Green Ray's 1944 champions also won three berths, Philadelphia and Detroit two each and Washington one. The selection board, made tip of sports writers who covered nationfl football league games all season, awarded Waterfield the only unanimous spot on the annual honor team, marking th" first time a freshman player has gained the honor. Topping Green Bay's first-team trio wax Don Hutson, voted an end position for the seventh consecutive season. The first-team backfield represented a complete turnover from last year although two linemen, in addition to Hutson, were placed on the honorary team for the second consecutive year, tackle Al Wixtert of Philadelphia and guard Riley (Rattlesnake) Mathcon of Cleveland Washington's Sammy Baugh, winding up his greatest passing season in nine years of pro football, was the second top vote- getter, receiving 19 out of a possible 20 first-team ballots. Baugh, completing his pass. s at the phenomenal percentage of .717, was the only Redskin player to land a firstteam berth and his backfield teammate. fullback Frank Akins, was the only Washington player to be awarded a second-team spot. Completing the first-team backfield were Ted Fritsch. Green Bay’s stubby. HOpound fullback, and Steve Van Buren, Phlladel phla’s eel-like halfback who is the top ground gainer on pro gridirons this season. The backfield Is one of the most versatile in recent years. Baugh wax placed at quarterback by the writers with Waterfield moving to halfback. Both are T-formatlon quarterbacks, but Cleveland's root ie star was considered a better runner. Haugh and Waterfield both are passing wizards, while Van Buren is the top running back of the year and Fritsch packs more bruising power in his stride than any man In the national league- Fritsch also Is an expert field goal kicker and Waterfield boots points after touchdowns with deadly precision. Baugh is the best "quick kicker" in football while Waterfield also Is a booming punter. Steve Pritko of Cleveland barely nosed out teammate Jim Benion tor the other nrst-team end post while' war heroes tackle Emil Uremovich and guard Bbl Radovlch. the heart of Detroit’s great defensive line, were awarded firstteam spots along with Wlstert and Matheson. Charley Brock, Green Bay's veteran star, was named to pivot the line which averages 213 pounds. —————-O', ■ —— Religion is not only it prop for the weak; it is a spur for the strong.
