Big Ten, Southeast dominate poll
NEW YORK (UPI) — Harold "Red" Grange, the fabled Galloping Ghost from Illinois, and inductable Bronko Nagurski of Minnesota, superstars of the golden 1920's, were the top votegetters in balloting for the modern all-time college football team announced today.
Grange, whose speed, elusiveness and general know-how made him a three-time all-American, was the only unanimous choice on the 11-man squad picked by the Football Writers Association of America.
Bronko. Double Trouble
The writers selected an early day all-time squad and a modern squad to commemorate the 100th anniversary of college football.
Bronko, Double Trouble Nagurski, probably the only collegiate star who could have rated with the best on both offense and defense, was picked at the tackle position and missed a unanimous ballot by one vote.
Other members of the modern all-time team are ends Bennie Oosterbaan of Michigan and Don Hutson of Alabama; tackle Frank "Bruiser" Kinard of Mississippi; guards Jim Parker of Ohio State and Bob Suffridge of Tennessee; center Mel Hein of Washington State; and backs Sammy Baugh of Texas Christian, Jay Berwanger of Chicago and Ernie Nevers of Stanford.
Of the 11 players honored, five came from the Big 10, the Southeast landed three places, the Pacific Coast two and the Southwest one.
The teams of the 1920's furnished five members, five were form the 1930's and only one from the 1940's on. Only one collegian of recent vintage was chosen—Parker, who played for Ohio State from 1954-56.
Grange, the man responsible for giving pro football a shot in the arm following his fabulous collegiate career, made all-American honors in 1923-24-25
The 170-pound back had the greatest day of his career on Oct 18, 1924 against Michigan when he scored five touchdowns and passed for a sixth in a 39-14 Illini victory. Four of his TD's came in the first 12 minutes and he rushed for 402 yards in the contest. He scored 31 touchdowns while wearing an Illinois uniform
Nagurski, at 217 pounds, made all-America honors in 1929 as a tackle. The Minnesota, who never played high school football, also played fullback for the Golden Gophers.
First Heisman Winner
Berwanger, often described as the player "who would do more things in football than anyone else," won the first Heisman Trophy in 1935.
Baugh was picked at the quarterback position even though the TCU great played the tailback position. He was a consensus All-American in 1936. Slingin' Sam completed 274 of 594 passes for 3,437 pards and 40 touchdowns while the Horned Frogs posted a 27-5-2 record and victories in the Sugar and Cotton Bowls.
Nevers made all-American honors in 1925 asa fullback. His greatest day came in the 1925 Rose Bowl game when he gained 114 yards in a losing cause against Notre Dame and outgained the famed Four Horsemen in the Irish backfield.
Kinard followed Nagurski in the Balloting. The Mississippian played from 1935 to 1937 and was known for his love for contact.
Suffridge, although weighing only 185 pounds, possessed a lightning charge and earned all-American honors for the Vols in 1940. Parker was an All-American in 1956 and won the Outland Trophy as the nation's best interior lineman while leading the Buckeyes to a 9-0-0 record and a victory in the Rose Bowl.
Hein helped Washington State get into the Rose Bowl in 1930—last time the Cougars have visited the famed Padena gridiron.
Oosterbaan captured all- American honors three years in a row at Michigan- 1925-27.

Tickets selling on record scale
LAWRENCE—With football interest at Kansas humming at an all-time peak, a record season-ticket sale of 28,000 or more has been predicted by Monte Johnson, Jayhawk business manager and assistant athletic director.
Johnson said that this figure is based on a projected total of 12,- 300 season tickets to the public, 14,000 plus to students and 1,500 to KU faculty and staff members.
"Those are realistic figures and the total could go higher," Johnson said.
He added, "Season tickets are still moving at a brisk pace even though we're selling them past

the goal lines on both sides of the field."
Kansas' record sale of public season tickets is 12,041 in 1964. Johnson is confident this figure will be surpassed. The student ticket high of 12,196 was established in 1965.
The 28,000 over-all figure Johnson predicts would put Kansas well ahead of last year's total of 23,496 for all three categories of season books.
"We are still taking orders for single game tickets for all five home games, including the Kansas State and Missouri games," Johnson said. "We expect both the Kansas State and Missouri games to sell out by game time or earlier, but they are not sold out now by any means."
