~ More Honors for Purdue and Indiana
SEO TAYLOR, veteran sports editor of the Des Moines Register, authored an unique Big Ten football honor roll. . . . His system is to pick the best players at various assignments, rather than to-select a team by positions, Herewitlr is Taylor's final list, as voted by Big Ten grid coaches, football writers and other observers: Backs—Bill Daley, Michigan, running back; Bob Wiese, Michigan Don Buffmire, Northwestern (defensive); Sam Vacanti, Purdue (line-backing); Otto Graham, Northwestern safety man); Jack Wink, Michigan (field general); Bob Hoernschemeyer, Indiana (forward passer); Graham * (all-around). Kickers—Bill Barbour, Iowa (place-kicker); Wiese (punter), Linemen—Fred Negus, Michigan (offensive center); Bill Baughman, Towa (defensive center); Alex Agase, Purdue (running guard and defensive guard); Paul Mitchell, Minnesota (offensive tackle and defensive tackle); Pete Pihos, Indiana (blocking end, pass-catching end, defensive end).
J #” - . » s . IT ADDS UP to football recognition for the Hoosier Big Ten Twins . Purdue landed three players and Indiana two on the honor roll... And we believe Sec Taylor has something in his

La Cross Bent on Tossing Angel
Martino Angel, the Italian grappler from Akron who has been setting a fast pace in local action and has beaten all opposition, takes on Gil La Cross of Boston to- top tonight's mat card at the Armory. La Cross, an experienced wrestler who has scored against several headliners, has been following an aggressive style against his foes: He has hope of being the first to upset Angelo. Coach Billy Thom is. the most recent “victim” of Angelo, losing here a week ago. The Akron matman is touted for his “rough and tough” tactics. The bout is for two falls out of three.
Other tussels, each for one fall, are between Whitey Wahlberg of Minneapolis and Rene La Belle of Toronto, with Jackie Nichols of Nova Scotia opposing Lefty Pacer of Chicago. E

most of its ability to do so.”
