Auburn WANTS ABOUT TEN
MEN ON GALL SOUTHERN

I year, but was later replaced at guard,
and those who saw his work in the Tech
game are satisfied of his title as one
of the best He Is the heaviest man of
Auburn's rather heavy team, and yet is
fast He developed into a good runner
with the ball during the first of the sea-
son when he was played at tackle.
Hartman at tackle ranks easily with
the best this season. 1t is his last year
at football and he has made the best
of it. Hartman, who is rather bulky him
self, has proved that he is a fair ground
gamer in tackle over tackle plays. He
charges well and is immovable on de-
Tense.
Lamb. who has been at tackle since
Aliens removal TO guard, is lighter, but
is probably the most powerful man on
the team. He charges fercely. He is
sure tackler and has thrown backs for
yards and yards of loss behind the line
during this season. He has more than
look-in when 1t comes to judging of
all-southern material.
! For sure passing and charging Cation.
at center, has no superior in the south.
But Cation has been placed in extra
position on defense, and it is thus hard
to place him squarely in competitive judg-
ment with the other centers Of the south,
despite the fact that his defensive work
In the open has been unerring. and he
has saved many gains. On fumbles and
in getting down to protect forward
passes Cation has recovered many elusive
balls for Auburn this season. At times
he seems to be everywhere.
Auburns line is Auburn's claim to
glory this year, and there are two other
lnemen who rank with the best in Bon
ner and Majors. Bonner at guard has
plunged headlong into thousand plays
during the season, and when he plows
into the mass it stops. Majors will rank
with almost any other southern punter.
When the boys at Auburn gather FOR
yelling, cheering each player, they meyer
forget one yell for RIP Majors toe
Shilling and Cogdell, at ends for Au-
burn, were played in strange positions
this year. They were both linemen here
tofore, Cogdell an all-southern tackle.
But scarcity OF material forced Coach
Donahue to place them at ends and they
both made good. The heaviest pair of
ends in the south, both weighing over
$50 pounds, they proved the surest. No
interference can pass their smashing
charge unshattered, and usually they get
their men, despite the interference. And
the way in which they both leap into
the air after bounding balls and forward
PASSES renders them invaluable in the
new style of game.
Newell, Mccoy and Noble are three
back field men who have done good work
for Auburn this year. It is Newelrs
first year as a regular man, and he made
good from the jump. Light and fast, he
has gained several hundred yards with
| his quarterback runs. As the season
wore on his development was marked
until his squirting, elusive dashes
| through broken fields have come to be
causes for terror with the other team"
Mccoy came out late, because of i'll
ness. and did not don a uniform until
nearly a month after the opening of col
fege. But he got into the game all at
once and has played the best ball OF his
football career. He is faster and surer
than ever before. Noble, playing at end
! and halfback, has been out of the game
since the scrap with Texas, but his work
before that time, and especially in the
Mississippi A. & NJ. game, marked him
as one of the surest defensive men in
the south. He is rather light and played
out of his position at halfbaek. These
facts placed him al a handicap with Au-
burns exceptionally heavy eleven, and,
with his enforced absence from the game,
probably will deprive him of his legih-
mate title to recognition.
Auburn men, loyal, thing that their en-
tire eleven can be picked as all-southern
material without reflection upon the judg-
ment of this critic.
| The trip to Savannah Is too long for
many Auburn men, except the team, to
take. Consequently 'rooters' from Au-
! burn will be few Thanksgiving day.
