rak played a lion's role in the upsets the Dukes scored at the expense of Pitt and Marquette. Don Heap of Northwestern "and Andy Uram came in the same category. Heap won the nomination by a slight margin. Some of the captains voted for players on their own teams as well as picking the best men met as opponents, and a few of the grid leaders expressed choices for men they saw in action but did not meet in actual contests. For instance, the vote that gave Mike Basrak the decision over Fordham's star center was sent in by the captain of a famous midwest- em football university.

Because secrecy is pledged, the name is not given here. The captain who made the deciding choice did not play against Basrak, but saw him in one of the season's important games. Line Posts Easily Filled The positions of Larry Kelley, Ed Widseth, Gaynell Tinsley, Tarzan White and Max Starcevich-all linemen--were decided without much trouble. These men were outstanding, even though the season did produce a great many superior players, from end to end. Three players in the backfield also were widely selected, there being no dispute as to the merits of Ray Buivid.

(AP)--Storm signals were hoisted over Pasadena's famed Rose Bowl tonight as verbal winds blew hot and cold over the election of Pittsburgh to opose Washington in the annual New Year's Day football classic. Heavy clouds began gathering immediately after Athletic tor Racy Eckman of Washington announced the choice of Pitt, By daybreak lightning was shooting from various angles, and rumblings were heard as far south as Baton Rouge, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Huskie athletic staff ducked into the storm cellar and sent back word they hoped for peace and sunshine within a few days. Until then, they had no comment io make other than their selection- statement. "Our intent has been to choose the team which is of the best in eastern football" said the Huskie statement, and Eckman added that by eastern they meant any point east of Pasadena.

In other words, Washington stacked Pittsburgh's once-beaten (Duquesne), once-tied (Fordham) record and the Panther victories over Notre Dame, Ohio Stale and Nebraska against the records of Louisiana State, once-tied (Te.vs) and Alabama, once-tied (Tennessee)--and picked Pittsburgh. Defenders of the choice were quick to remind that the Rose Bowl game policy is not a "championship" affair in any fashion. Washington and Jock Sutherland's Panthers have similar ii)36 records--both beaten once and tied once. Neither has ever won a Rose Bowl game. Washington lost to Alabama 20 to 19, in 1926, and tied the Navy 14-14, in 1924.

Pitt lost to Stanford, 7 to 6, in 1928 to Southern Califorina, 47 to 14, in 1930 and again to Southern Califorina, 35 to 0, in 1933. Maxwell Stiles, football writer in the Lost Angeles Examiner said: "And so we'll have to put up with Pittsburgh again in the Rosa Bowl! and when we could have had Louisiana State or Alabama. "Of all the teams that ever played at Pasadena, Pitt has consistently done the grandest el Coach Frank Thomas of Alabama and Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, here for the Southern California-Notre Dame game tomorrow, were "surprised." "Alabama didn't expect to 'ok. picked but I believe Louisiana State had a right to expect the nomination. I saw Louisiana State conquer Tulane and if is any better than L.
