# 1919 College Football All-Southern Team

The 1919 College Football All-Southern Team consists of American football players selected to the College Football All-Southern Teams selected by various organizations for the 1919 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season.
Auburn won the SIAA championship. Even though Centre went undefeated, there were questions over professionalism.

## Composite eleven

The composite eleven posted by H. J. Stegeman, coach at the University of Georgia, for Spalding's Football Guide included:
* Alf Adams, end for Vanderbilt, also a basketball star and later an attorney.
* Pete Bonner, guard for Auburn, selected for various all-time Auburn teams.
* Josh Cody, tackle for Vanderbilt, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1970, only three-time All-American in Vanderbilt football history. He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era. Third-team Camp All-American. Later a prominent football coach at many institutions.
* Bum Day, center for Georgia, in 1918 as a player for Georgia Tech was the first Southern player selected first-team All-American by Walter Camp.
* Bill Fincher, end/tackle for Georgia Tech, a unanimous selection and this year the third Southern player selected first-team All-American by Walter Camp, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974. He also kicked.
* Buck Flowers, halfback for Georgia Tech, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era. He also kicked.
* Judy Harlan, fullback for Georgia Tech, came into his own upon returning to Tech for the 1919 season, "the line plunger almost unfailingly good for "must" yardage to keep a drive rolling."
* Mullie Lenoir, halfback for Alabama, later coach of the Bluefield Rams.
* Bo McMillin, quarterback for Centre, the second Southern player selected first-team All-American by Walter Camp, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951.
