West Point's celebrated All-American Halfback Pete Dawkins, a Rhodes Scholar and future infantryman who will attend paratroop training school this summer before leaving for England, ranked No. 10. But West Point's mighty Tackle Maurice Hilliard barely managed to squeeze into a commission by holding down the "goat's'' last place. Less fortunate was Navy's All-American Tackle Bob Reifsnyder...
