Among the players recently selected by the nation's sports writers for berths on All-America were seven of Harvard's opponents during the season: Garrard Ramsay of William and Mary, Bob Margarita of Brown, Spencer Moseley of Yale, Jim Kellcher of Army, and Tom Kuzma, Al Wistert, and Julius Franks of Michigan.

Of these, five were line men: Ramsay and Franks at guard, Wistert at tackle, Kelleher at end, and Moseley at center. Margarita and Kuzma were picked for backfield positions. The votes of various sports editors for All-American players coincided pretty closely with those of a readers poll conducted by "The Football News". a national sports magazine.
