Capping the host of "All" honors already wreathed around his size 16 neck, Harvard's highly publicized left guard, Chub Peabody, was named yesterday with Loren MacKinney, triple threat left end, to the hand-picked team that will represent the East in the East-West game in San Francisco on New Year's day.
Both Peabody and MacKinney tendered their acceptance to Coach Andy Kerr personally yesterday afternoon when the Colgate mentor, who is in charge of the Eastern squad, stopped off in Boston for several hours.
No Places for Miller Pfister
The two selectees had a long talk with Kerr trying to persuade him to add two of their teammates, Vern Miller and Dick Pfister, to the list of players who will travel west on December 18. Kerr however, is allowed a narrow quota of only 22 players and since a number of Big Nine stars have already accepted invitations he was unable to find places for the other two stand-out Crimson linemen.
Peabody and MacKinney will work out with trainer Jimmy Cox in the Indoor Athletic Building during the next few weeks to keep from going too stale, but actual practice sessions will not begin until the afternoon of December 18 when the all-star team will get together for the first time in Evanston, Illinois.
That night the squad will entrain for the coast with regular stops scheduled along the way in Nebraska and Utah for special practice sessions. Berkeley, California, will be the base camp for the week or so preceding the game.
In addition to the all-star honors, Peabody, MacKinney, and Pfister have had a multitude of other honors heaped upon them during the past week. The biggest haul of all was made by the Crimson team when it placed seven men on the United Press all-New England squad-five of them on the first string.
Yale Ignores Peabody
The greatest injustice was done by the Yale Daily News in leaving Chub Peabody on its Eli all-opponent squad.
The complete list of "All" honors to date follows:
Peabody--left guard on Grantland Rice's all-American eleven (selection not yet announced but virtually assured.)
Peabody--left guard on the Fox-Movieton News (shown recently at the University Theatre.)
MacKinney, left end; Miller, left tackle; Peabody, left guard; Pfister, right guard; Forte, right end; Franny Lee, second string halfback; and Don McNicol, second string fullback; Tom Gardiner, second string tackle--United Press all-New England eleven.
MacKinney, left end; Miller, left tackle; Peabody, left guard; Pfister, right guard; Gardiner, right tackle--International News Service all-New England eleven.
MacKinney, left end and Pfister, right guard--Yale Daily News all-opponent team.
Peabody, left guard, and Pfister, right guard--Princeton all-opponent team.
