This result gives Yale three: Prince

each OF the best ali-America selection.
Mccormick. of Princeton is chosen for

Several newspapers. including those
Ia Washington. have attempted to pick
an all-Southern team. and several
Southern papers have selected an all
Southern eleven: but the choices in the
latter case ara all made from members
Of the Southern intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association. and take no note OF
Davidson. A. and NJ. OF North Carolina.
Virginia. v. P. l.. Washin gton and Lee
and others.
The Washington papers place Dutch
er. of Georgetown, as all-Southern full
back. but he gave no evidence OF stellar
qualities in the game played here. nor
from the newspaper accounts In the
Neutrality-suspicious. game.
The selection Of an all-Southern team
would be made up largely from Van.
derbllt. sewanee. A. and NJ. OF Caro-.
lima, Davidson, v. P. l.. Virginia Glen,
son. North Carolina. Washington ane
Lee. and possibly some of the othe,
colleges. No opportunity was afforded
to Judge Of their relative merits ever
by comparison. but Vanderbilt, Sc.
vance and two Of the North Caroline
colleges would probably contribute til.
