But McCoy, despite distinct ad vantages of weight and punch. Is expected to eat plenty of leather before he pins the invader's ears.

Because the Britisher, before this American debut, waded through 103 bouts against the best European scrappers without being kayoed or floored, and he proved in his training workouts that he is one "Limey" who loves to fight. Hence, the customers should see one of the grandest battles staged In New York In many moons when these two young men, who adopted such similar ring names, meet under the floodlights. McCoy, who was born Florian Lebrasseur in Wlnslow, 22 years ago, apparently Is approaching his peak. The hard-hitting son of French-Canadian parents has won 20 straight fights this year. 14 to knockouts.

He was Impressive in disposing of such men as Bob Godwin, Joe Knight, Tait Litt-man, Sammy Slaughter, Don Petrin and Lou Brouillard. Jock McAvoy, who started life as plain Joseph Bamford 25 years ago In Rochdale near Manchester. England, dropped only four' decisions in five years of busy warfare.

had Mayer and Shearer at ends and "Junior' Model "Standard" (as shown) "Delme" $7-65 By STUART CAMERON Cnrrris-ht. 1035. by Cnited Press NEW YORK, Nov. 29 The All-America football team of 1935, selected today by the United Press, gives premier honors to players of the middle-west but reveals that the aces of the game are distributed with remarkable equality among conferences and sections from coast to coast. Six members of the All-America hail from the midwest.

Two of them, Widseth and Smith, Minnesota's giant tackles, formed the backbone of one of America's greatest teams. Others from the same sector are Millner, Notre Dame's stalwart end: Wagner, impregnable guard from Michigan State; Jones, Ohio State's dynamic center and leader, and Berwanger, Chicago's one-man team. The only other section of the country to rate more than one place was the southwest, where the football played this year may have surpassed that of any other division of the nation. From this conquering region were selected Baugh, Texas Christian's great kicker and passer, listed for the quarterback berth, and Wilson, Southern Methodist's will-o-the-wisp halfback. Grayson Tops at Fullback Bobby Orayson.

only holdover from the 1934 All-America, whose smashing, crashing ball-carrying and defensive play catapulted Stanford into the Rose Bowl, represents the far west. The east contributed John Weller, Princeton's swath-cutting guard. From the south comes Gaynell Tinsley, Louisiana State's superlative end. The outstanding football player of the year is Jay Berwanger, unanimous choice of all Western Conference coaches. Here is a player who can do everything, and only the fact that he played on a relatively weak team keeps him from a place among football's immortals of all time.

Bobby Wilson, the other halfback, Is 147 pounds of gridiron lightning. This S. M. U. jackrabbit, feared and respected from coast to coast over a span of two seasons, is good at everything.

Grayson, the fullback, was one of the players who simply could not be omitted from the All-America. Heart and soul of the Qffense and bulwark of the defense, he even surpassed his 1934 All-America showing. In a season of many great quarterbacks, Sammy Baugh, Texas Christian's brilliant field general, with the mightiest pasing arm in football surpassed all others. In 10 contests he completed 70 passes in 155 tries for a total gain of 982 yards. His hair-parting passing and his uncanny generalship have shot T.

C. U. into national fame. Tinsley Heads Ends Biff Jones, head coach at Oklahoma, terms Tinsley of L. S.

"the finest end I have ever seen." No team was able to handle this wing-man, a wizard at smashing down Interference and in all the varied departments of an end's play. At the other wing we have Millner, who rose to the heights when the going was toughest for Notre Dame. Minnesota, rated by many as the team of the year, supplied two unbeatable tackles in Ed Widseth and Dick Smith. Here were the boys who hewed the paths for Thompson, Uram, Gmitro and other headline-making Gopher backs. Even Coach Bernie Bierman refused to choose between them.

"I'd hate to have been without either one," was all he would say. In sharp contrast with 1934, 1935 boasted few truly outstanding guards. There were, however, two who clearly earned places. John Weller was easily the best man in a great Princeton line. It was he, more than anyone ese, who blasted Dartmouth from the ranks of the unbeaten and untied, and his play throughout the season was equally notable.

Sid Wagner is rated by his own coach, Charlie Bachman, B3 "the one player without a weakness I've seen in 18 years of teach that year we held Alabama," I believe it was, to a close score. After the game the Southern players said the Catholic U. ends were the best they ever had seen. "A great player not mentioned Catholic Grid Immortals!

His record is sprinkled with long runs, as North Carolina State will attest, for at Raleigh in 1931 he twice streaked 60 yards for touchdowns to win single-handed a 12-7 victory. Sheary, his rugged teammate, resembled Mickey Walker, the prize fighter, and like the Jersey Bull Dog could take plenty of punishment.

Jack Malavich had a record for consist-ency over three years of varsity competition a human block house. As undefeated heavyweight boxer, he knew how to use his hands and arms when smashing through the line. Foley was a midget quarterback with a gambler's sense of judgment in calling unorthodox plays. In the line, a unanimous verdict was rendered in favor of Edward Lynch as the greatest sports star that the Cardinals have ever had. An iron man type and brainy end, who later played with the old Portsmouth Spartan Pro.

Monk Meyer, of Army, and Bill Shakespeare, of Notre Dame, were two of the season's finest triple threat stars, and Sheldon Beise, of Minnesota, kept up the tradition of brilliant fullback play on Gopher teams.
