All-Americas of 1953

The end of football's two-platoon era this season marked the decline & fall of the specialist, the player who could block but not tackle, the player who could pass but could not defend against enemy passes. This year All-America football selectors did not have to worry about such refinements as offensive and defensive teams. Last week and this, the Associated Press, United Press, International News Service, Look and Collier's released their choices. Notre Dame Halfback Johnny Lattner, for the second year in a row, made everybody's team. The consensus:

Ht. Wt. (E) Don Dohoney 6'1" 191 Mich. State

(T) Arthur Hunter 6' 3" 226 Notre Dame

(G) J. D. Roberts 5' 10" 210 Oklahoma

(C) Larry Morris 6'0" 202 Georgia Tech

(G) Crawford Mims 5' 10" 210 Mississippi
