Picking a hypothetical all-AInerican or
even all-sectional foot ball team is a
pleasant sort Of amusement Tor the one
who makes the selections and results in
no harm to anybody. Such teams never
get together and never will. But foot ball
enthusiasts always like to turn over In
their minds the probable things such a
foot ball team could accomplish if well
shaken together by two months hard
work and good coaching.
So, In the selection Of an ali-South At
lantic team, the above choices represent
the mere opinion of one man, based upon
games he saw played in Washington dur
ing the season just ended, and are given
for what they are worth.
OF the eleven men named there are four
concerning whose fitness there should be
no doubt. They are Elliott, Hart, Yancy
and Stanton. These four stood out in their
respective positions all through the sea-
son. Each Is well trained and experienced
and fit to hold his own In almost any
company, certainly any he would be
thrown in in this part Of the country.
A Speedy Boy.
Elliott, the Virginia left end. is a mar
vel of speed in going down the field on
difficult man to dispose OF at any time.
He was easily the star OF the Virginia
GEORGETOWN contest November 10.
AS a running mate for Elliott. Whiting
lis chosen as being the best all-around
man, next to Elliott, who has played here
this season. He is fast and strong, a
good tackler, and handles the forward
pass we'll
Among the tackles Hart stands out
I'm a class by himself. From the begin
ming to the end of the past season he
was the life of the George washington
team and did more than any other two
men on the team to cut down the scores.
Tall and powerful, he is particularly eff
fecttve in smashing line attacks. He fol-
lows the ball closely at all times.
On the other side Of the line should be

in the punting department.
Brandt a Good One.
For the center Brandt of George Wash
ington Is chosen. chiefly for the remark
able game he played against Virginia
Polytechnic. Sandwiched between such
men as Murphy and Hodgson. Brandt

in the George Washington line. His work
Is wholly lacking in spectacular features,
but 1t is steady always.
In selecting a quarterback the difficulty
is great In individual reputation Morse
o. George Washington and Hughes OF
Virginia Polytechnic far outshine the
other quarterbacks of this section. But m
choosing a quarterback for an All-South
Atlantic team one must consider that he
would have the best players to lead and
that therefore he should be the quarter
back with the best head, provided OF
course. his general physical ability was
up to the standard. And the best man Tor
directing plays Is Gooch OF Virginia.
Morse Is great man In broken field

season. Hut he is really halfback and
not a quarterback. His tendency to run
