From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas State Wildcat's civilian basketball team got off to a good start by defeating McPherson College, 45 to 39, and the Herington Army air base quintet, 31 to 24. Forward Charles Cooley tossed in 21 points against McPherson to serve notice that he may bear watching by Big Six opponents when conference play gets underway in January. Kansas had less trouble with the soldiers, winning by a 13-point margin, 40 to 27, and using considerable substitutions. However, the Wildcats must have had their scrubs in there in the last half also, for after leading 28 to 10 at the half, they counted only three more points during the final 20 minutes. That must have been about as bad a last half as was Kansas' first half against the Ft. Leavenworth Flyers.

Rebounds
Iowa State became one of the leading Big Six favorites last Saturday night when they took the Iowa Seahawks into camp. 31 to 29 . . Bob Steuber, star Missouri Tiger last year, took high scoring honors for the nation during the past football season by scoring 129 points . . . Steuber, who is now at Depauw, was placed on several All-American second and third teams . . . Four down the line in scoring was Oklahoma's Bob Brumley who scored a total of 79 points . . . The Wichita Beacon states that in spite of the Great Lakes' triumph over Notre Dame, they still maintain that Kansas' victory over Missouri was the season's No. 1 upset . . . The Pittsburg Teachers, who waded through a 6-game schedule undefeated, are one of only six undefeated, untied college teams in the nation.
Presenting THE 1943 All-American college football team as selected by mathematical calculations from a cross section of the most important All-American teams. Six all-star teams were taken and points were awarded as follows: 5 points for each first team rating, 3 points for being a second team member, and 1 point for third team recognition.
The Sporting News team, which had more than 90 of the country's leading sports writers and sportscasters participating in its selection; the Look-Bill Stern All-America, chosen with the aid of 158 NBC sports announcers and 25 key sports writers; and the Football News 3-Deep All-America, which was selected by the readers. Since no differentiation was made, only 3 points were awarded to members of the latter squad, making a possible total of 28 points.
The only prominent team missing was the Colliers-Grantland Rice selection which was not out as this went to press. Our team is as follows:
Heading the list was the Associated Press All-America which was selected after a nationwide survey of expert opinion. Also used were the United Press squad, which was chosen by 970 leading sports writers and editors; the Central Press AllAmerica, picked by "the college captains themselves;"

It was an interesting fact that not one of the six teams had the same backfield combination as our "team of teams" had . . . Only unanimous choices were Army's Myslinski and Michigan's ex-Minneotan, Bill Daley . . . However, Angelo Bertelli, in the Heisman Trophy selections, ranked above Odell, Graham, Miller, Prokop, Daly, and Butkovich in that order as the nation's outstanding college football player . . . Notre Dame, the nation's number one team despite their upset loss to Great Lakes, placed three men on the first team and two on the second . . . Ends Phos and Yonaker each received 18 points, but the former was given the first team berth as he was given recognition on all six squads, while the latter was not even listed by the A.P. or Look.

Senate Will Investigate Willkie's 1940 Nomination
Washington, (INS)—A sub-com-
mittee of five senators was named today to investigate charges that backers of Wendell Willkie "bought" his nomination for the 1940 Republican presidential convention in Philadelphia.
Investigation was ordered after publication of a book by C. Nelson Sparks, former Ohio republican leader, in which the charges were made. Sparks also charged that forces behind Willkie—led by a noted New York banking house—had the nominee's assurance that he would support a foreign policy contrary to the party platform.
