Sport: All-Americas of 1951

With sharpened pencils and thick wads of statistics, the nation's football experts sat down last week to pick the All-America team of 1951. As they did last year, most of the experts took due note of the two-platoon system by picking a 22-man squad. As always, there was no lack of experts to do the choosing—for the Associated Press, United Press, International News Service, Look, plus a host of minor-league operators. The top eleven:

Wt. Ht. (E) Bill McColl* 225 6'4" Stanford (T) Jim Weatherall* 220 6'4" Oklahoma (G) Les Richter* 225 6'2" California (C) Dick Hightower 205 6'1" S.M.U. (G) Bob Ward 185 5'10" Maryland (T) Don Coleman 180 5'10" Mich. State (E) Frank McPhee 200 6'3" Princeton (B) Larry Isbell 180 6'2" Baylor (B) Hank Lauricella 170 5'10" Tennessee (B) Dick Kazmaier 171 5'11" Princeton (B) Ollie Matson 203 6'2" San Fran.

* Repeaters from last year.
