Choices Based EY On Votes of L ' 304 Colleges
/ White and Frank Lead in “Balloting; Beinor Makes
Third Team.
By PAUL B. WILLIAMSON “Byron (Whizzer) White of Colo‘rado and Clint Frank of Yale reyo ~eceived most nomination points from Ldllege football authorities in the Williamson Rating System poll for “the Big All-American 1937 gridiron even. White and Frank, likewise, were outstanding choices of the Williamson System after studying reports on games for the entire season. | ~The four teams selected check geographically as follows: Midwest, 7; Far West, 11; East, 10, South, 5; Southwest, 7 : South Atlantic, 4. -. One team tomprises the first 11 sof many smaller-team players who _ Were recommended for the Big AllAmerica. Some of them will be “snatched up by the pros giving “headliners the go-by.
Sectional Bias Barred
- The selections were made under “& set of hard-boiled statistical rules .independent of personal equation, ‘imscientific polling methods, and -sectional ‘bias. ‘. Keeping close check week after week on more than 600 collegiate football teams over the nation—as -the Williamson System has done annually for years—has demon“strated quite clearly that plunging ‘and running, tossing and receiving have been developed to a state of par excellence in every section of “the land, and that repeated granite--}ike goal line stands and fine blocking have become the common property of obscure regions as of the thickly populated centers. There were many outstanding players on minor teams who could have bid for All-America candidacy had they played on major teams. That has been the case for 10 years or more now.

Corby Takes Big 10 Honor
Termed Most Valuable by Tribune Poll
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 20—Corby
] Davis of Indiana University, winner
of the Chicago Tribune’s trophy as the “most valuable football player” in the Western Conference, today centered ‘his attention on defending the honor of the East in the Shrine charity game against Western stars Jan. 1 at San Francisco. Davis, who won'the ‘award by a margin of only one vote over Cecil Isbell of Purdue, was the third Indiana player in 14 years to receive the actual size silver football, which went last season to Vernon Huffman of the Hoosiers. Don Heap of Northwestern was third, Rudy Gmitro of Minnesota fourth and Bob Lannon of Iowa fifth this year. Chuck Bennett of I. U. won the award in 1928. Davis and the other Eastern All Stars are en route to San Francisco for the charity game.

Champion Yanks in Home “Attendance.
First of a Series
By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Writer
Old man 1937, tottering off the sporting stage on shaky legs, doesn’t have to be sorry for his particular edition of baseball. In fact, ie can well be proud of the diamond campaign which was brought to a close when a swashbuckling crew of New York Yankees completely routed their arch-rivals, the Giants, in (ae World Series. From a financial standpoint, the 1937 season was the most successful since 1930. Attendance was up 10
per cent over 1936, with a total of |.
9,447,497 fans watching the 16 teams. And very surprising was Detroit’s feat of outdrawing the champion Yanks by nearly 40,000 in home attendance, the Tigers playing to 1,181,000. . Pirates Folded in Stretch
Joe DiMaggio of the Yanks, clearly. the greatest drawing card in the game . today, .and the Cardinals’ Joe Medwick were without peers in all-round performance. The American League race was all New York from early June until the wind-up, but the senior loop again staged one of its customary crazy flag chases. The Pittsburgh Pirates were making a runaway jaunt of it in May, but just about the time the critics were about to concede that Pie Traynor really had something on the ball the Pirates cracked, and were replaced by the Cubs.
Roaring into the stretch, the Cubs |
lead no one ever thought could be overcome. That is, no one but Chilly Willie ‘Terry and his Giants, who took advantage of a flock of Bruin injuries to put on a spurt which took them past a six-game handicap and into a two-and-a-half game margin by Sept. 1. And in first place they stayed. Injury to Cochrane
There was that fateful day late in May when the baseball world held its breath and prayed that Iron Mike Cochrane might live. Felled by a high fast one that blazed from the hand of the Yanks’ Bump Hadley, Mickey hovered between life and death for days, before his rugged constitution and fighting spirit carried him out of danger. American League pitchers long will ‘remember the thundering home-run barrage laid down by the mighty bat of Rudy York during the month of August, when the Tiger backstop belted 18 roundtrippers for a new record. eclipsing the mark of 17 for the same period, i FP by Babe Ruth in September, : ’
