Bv OSCAR FRALEY
New York, Nov. 10—(UP)—National Football League coaches, assistant coaches and scouts today selected an All-NFL team which explains clearly why the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles are riding the cleated crest in their circuit.
The men who have watched them all—and thus seen every player in
action to provide a sensible solution $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $to the national nonsense of picking "all" teams—lay it on heavy for the NFL's Big Three of 1948.
Philadelphia, leader of the Eastern division, gets four places on the first team while the Bears get three spots and the Cardinals, currently deadlocked with the Monsters of the Midway for the Western division lead. get two.
But taking both your First and Second teams, dominated by the Cardinals with six spots, of the top 22 players in the league the Cards get eight places, and the Bears and Eagles each five.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants each get one, with the Boston Yanks, Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers all ignored.

The team fires a regular match which is scored by the instructor. The results then are mailed to the opposing team for comparison.
Dobbs Leads In Offense
New York. Nov. 10—(UP)—it takes more than a bruised and battered frame to stop Glenn Dobbs, the Los Angeles Dons' irrepressible "one man gang."
"Slowed down" by a set of injured ribs and a painfully bruised trunk muscle, the wiry Dobbs managed to gain 230 yards by passing and running as his team was beaten by New York, 38 to 6, Sunday, to take over the individual total offense lead in the All America football conference with 1,946 yards.
The one-time Tulsa tornado, who has handled the ball in 288 plays to rank as the workhorse of the A.A.C. has piled up 353 yards by rushing and 1,593 by passing to grab top honors from George (The Kid) Ratterman of the Buffalo Bills, last week's leader.
Dobbs also averaged 53.3 yards on three punts to widen his lead in the kicking department to 49.1 yards per boot in 48 efforts, according to statistics released today by league headquarters. In addition, the Dons' star ranked fourth in passing.
Refrigerator Bowl Bid To MV Vikings
Evansville, Ind., Nov. 10—(UP)—Missouri Valley College today ranked as the top contender for one of the bids to play in the first "Refrigerator Bowl" football game. Dec. 4.
A member of the planning committee was expected to fly to Marshall, Mo., this week to confer with officials of the school. Missouri Valley, which whipped Tarkio College Saturday 87 to 0, was reported interested in obtaining a bid to the Bowl game.
Graham Drills On Defense
Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 10- (UP) Coach Ralph Graham cracked down today on pass defense in preparing Kansas State for the invasion Saturday by the University of Kansas.
K-State, loser in six of seven starts this season, had trouble breaking up passes in yesterday's drill against Kansas formations,
Norman, Okla. Nov. 10 — (UP)—The University of Oklahoma Sooners, alerted against a letdown after their smashing 41 to 7 triumph over Missouri last Saturday, have settled their sights on the Nebraska Cornhuskers who come to town this weekend.
The Sooners went through a long scrimmage against the Freshmen yesterday in a snapping cold afternoon, and Coach Bud Wilkinson indicated more stiff workouts through the week.
The O. U. players remember all too well their eyelash 14 to 13 edge over the Huskers last year at Lincoln, and memory is not too dim of Nebraska teams that kicked the Sooners around with monotonous regularity.
This year's Huskers haven't fared so well in their early games, winning two and losing five, but they have scored against every opponent, including such outfits as Minnesota, Notre Dame, U.C.L.A. and Kansas. Last week they maudled Kansas State 32 to 0.
The Sooners' lineup of the lame and limping figures to be shortened by game time. End Bobby Goad, center Pete Tillman and tackle Wade Walker—all big men in the rugged forward wall—are in good enough shape to scrimmage.
Beg Your Pardon
Sooners Wary Of Huskers
Letters will be sent to the University of Wichita, the University of Kansas City, and the Big Seven schools this week, to arrange fencing matches with the University of Kansas, Norman Ellis, president of the fencing club said.
Raymond Garcia, assistant physical education instructor, urged more University students to join the club.
Mr. Ellis, a former member of the Harvard university fencing team, will be one of the mainstays in the newly organized Kansas fencing team.
Kansas Seeks Fencing Matches
Yesterday we erroneously gave the all-game totals for Kansas as 87 to 21 for opponents. The correct totals are: Kansas 165, opponents' 42.
Heath leads in individual total offense with 1,754 yards and in yards gained passing with 1,758, the difference being explained by the fact that his few rushing attempts have resulted in a net loss of four yards.
On total yards gained, it's California third with 2.906, Notre Dame fourth with 2.847, and Miami of Ohio fifth with 2.675.
After Heath on total offence comes Charlie Justice, North Carolina with 1.147, Lindy Berry, Texas Christian —1.062, Andy Davis, George Washington —1.041, and Jim Finks, Tulsa —1.040.
After that, according to average, come Texas Mines, 335.0, Notre Dame—331.3, Michigan State—284.2, and Oklahoma—283.9. On total yards, it's Texas Mines—2,345, Notre Dame—2,319, California—2,170, and Utah State—2,077.
Nevada Tops In Yardage; Army, Notre Dame Close Up
New York. Nov. 10-(UP)-Still stunned and shaken by their surprise loss to Santa Clara last Sunday, the Wolf Pack of Nevada got some solid reassurance today that at least it has the ground-gaining championship sewed up.
Nevada owes its lofty position, of course, to bombardier Stan Heath and the rugged line that gives him plenty of time to toss. The Pack leads in passing both in total yards, 1,994, and in average per game, 284.9. No other team is even close in either ranking. On average it's Tula second with 173.0, Georgia Tech third with 168.4, San Francisco fourth with 167.3, and West Virginia fifth with 156.9.
Ranking them on average yards gained per game. Nevada is on top with 490.9 and Army second with 456.4. Then come Notre Dame—406.7, Miami of Ohio—382.1, and Missouri—378.3.
With a 241-yard lead over second-place Army and only two games to go, the Pack apparently can't lose out
If there is any validity at all in forecasting, the Pack figures to gain more against its last two rivals—Fresno State and Wichite—than Army does against Pennsylvania and Navy.
Nevada, the foremost exponent of the passing attack, has gained 3,436 yards in seven games while Army, the leader in yardage pounded out on the ground, has gained 3,195 yards, also in seven games, according to the latest statistics of the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau.
