North Carolina Had Poor Season.
North Carolina. starting the season
with brilliant prospects, made about the
poorest showing in its history. losing to
every team in its class with the exception
or '. NJ l.. and the Cadets have never
before been reckoned in considering the
standing of the larger teams,

placed among the secondary schools when
the standing of the different institutions
was was arranged at the end Of the season,
mas by Its excellent showing against the
Dig teams. won for itself a right to be
classed among them.
The elimination Of a disastrous season
at George Washington came just a week
Bucknel. when the eleven was disbanded.
1t will be held by some, and rightfully, in
measure, that because Of the <lisband-
ment Of its team the school Is not
entitled to rating. but when 1t is con-
sidered that all of the games were PLAYED
which had bearing on the final standing
Of the teams In this section there Is no
reason why the eleven and its members
should not be given credit for what they
did.
In looking back over the games played
during the season it is observed that the
contests have been won by closer scores
than In previous years. In the big games
of the year 1t has always developed that
Its opponent or opponents. as the case
might be. but this year conditions were
different. In each Of the three great bat
ties that are the features Of the season
in the South Atlantic division the con-
testing teams were very evenly matched.
Georgetown could cross the Virginia's
goal line but once. v. p. l. and A. and
M. fought an almost even contest to a 5
to 3 score. Virginia and North Carolina
played a close game, the final result be-
only really big score that was made In
any of the games was rolled up on Wash
ington and Lee by Georgetown.
Very few Of the teams will suffer much
loss from graduation, and the caliber OF
the elevens will more than likely be OF
an even higher standard next year.
South Atlantic Selection.
When a more or less Of a mythical
eleven, composed of men who are sup
posed to- make as nearly an ideal team
as 1t Is possible to pick from certain
section. is chosen. the one who does the
choosing usually comes out with the
statement that after duly considering the
opinion Of others the selection has been
made. Nothing Of the kind is claimed
for the following choice OF players. The
time-worn custom Of taking the so-called
stars ON their respective teams and
forming an eleven OF them has even been
de. a. ted from. The following A.,-soutn
Atlantic team Is chosen purely from per-
sonal observation and persona. opinion
regarding the abilities OF the seye al
players, keeping in mind at all times that
ly and defepsively: that in Choosing a
quarterback he must be above all things
a good field general: that a good punter
Is of incalculaole value to a team. and
that a good pig man is always better
For the end positions there is one man
who has no equal In this section and
would undoubtedly prove a star on any
team. Hegarty Of Georgetown has no
