RALEIGH N. c., Dec. 1o.-Mr. W. 9.
Keinholz, ex-N1innesota, 1900, coach for
the Agricultural and Mechanical College,
has this TO say in regard to an all-South-
ern football team.
Tho task of making up an 'All-South-
ern" team is one too large for any one
man, as the South Is too large and has
too many good foot ball ,mcni to come
under thcscritic's eye III one season but
as / have been asked for my opinion
shall attempt an ''All-Southern" team us
far as this section Is concerned,
Before suggesting such n team I would
state flat such a selection should be,
made from men that would do the best
work as q team In case they were called
upon to play. What does this mean? 1t
means that every man must not only pc
n good offensive player, but superb
man OF, defense. This team must be
n combination Of speed, weight and grit
There are many essentials that should
be mentioned here, such as running low
ana hard, bowling down men, helping
tackling and head work, but space Will
not permit me to enter this great field
For left end I should take Townsend. Of
North Carolina University, as my choice
His blocking on offensc and vicious break
ing np interference OH offense and tack
ling on defense, besides being wonder
fully fast, makes him tho most apt man.
He lacks In weight, but has oil the otner
essentials OF /. a good end
q For left tackle will take as my choice
Gardner Of Agricultural and Mechanical
College. His weight Of 320 pounds, COM
bined with his great speed and grit be-
sides his long experience IN football,
makes him a superb man for the place..
uIe is wonderfully strong on the defense
ana carries the ball well on offense.
For left guard I shall select Mahoney,
OF Georgetown. Mahoney played at left
tacklc,Nb as tho guard material this sea-
son Was decidedly weak, Mah0ney's ability
as n line man would enable him to step
In this place and strengthen a line that
would otherwise be weak. He is not only
a great defensive player, but carries the
ball splerdialy, and could be drawn from
the line to advance the ball.
At center VIC have q number of good
men. Captain Stewart, Of North Caro-
lima; Givans, of Georgetown: Styles. of
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and
Lykes, of tho Agricultural and Mechan-
real College, are all splendid men. The
choice, however, would lie between Stew
art of North Carolina, and Givens, Of
Georgetown. On account of his consist
ency In playing, his fine physical condi-
'tion and the inspiration to his fellow team
mates, .,INshallsselec Stewart. .12@stn
At right guard I again have trouble.
Considering carefully l should fill this
position with Brarlch johnson, Of aVir-
ginia although I find WILSON, Of the Vlr-
gniae Polytechnic Institute, q close sec
ond. johnson has been playing q good
center for Virginia this season, but has
played guard also with great success.
His ability as a line man. both OH the
him off this team This guard position
being weak. would be greatly strength
ened with his presence.
Alright tackle Is find no trouble. Coun-
Gil, of'VirginIa, stands in a class by him
self and deserves tho position undlspu-
tably. |
AT right end my choice is Arthur VIII
son, or the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. His weight of 100 pounds, con-
nected with his wonderful speed and foot
ball sense, makes him u powerful end. |
Flo Is a sure tackler, covers puts well,
Il great ground gamer and Il conscientious
trainer. IIo can play any position In the
back field, and could be drawn back OF
the line to advance the ball or do the
The position Of right halfback Is well
He Is a tremendous man, both on offcnse
and defense, and deserves great credit |
for his phenomenal work during the sea-
son, considering that every opposing team
were watching his powerful movements.
lie would be selected TO do tho kicking.
The position of left halfbnck lies be-
tween Hurt, of Georgetown ana John
son, of Virginia. Both have dono splcn-
did work. but considering theS number
and the callbre of the games. Hart would |
be given the place. Hart played at right
half this season, but is able to play left
half just as well.
AS fullbuck / consider Captain Aber-
nethy, OF Agricultural and Mechanical
College; Martell OF Georgetown. and |
Robertson, OF University Of North Caro-
lima. are excellent men. On account of |
weight and speed, besides wonderful line
bucking ability, Abcrnethy would be first
choice. lie Is a superb man on the Of
fence either in straight or shift forIn'l-
lions, running low and hard with tho |
ball and bowling down men we'll as an !
