{ BY w. D. HAsTNGs.)

The writer makes the following Sc
lection Of an all Southern prep school
football team. In naming the team
the writer selects only from those
teams he has seen at work. Massey
and Morgan are not taken into consid-
Grafton, only Winthrop, Branham &
Hughes, Battle Ground Academy, Co
Iumbia Military Academy, Bowen,
Jones High School and Hawkins are
taken into count, and Of the eleven se-
Iected G. M. A. is entitled to seven,
B. & H. two, B. G. A. two. The squad
is as follows:
King &C. NJ. Az ..... center rush
Eblen &C. M. A. ........... right end
Shamotulski &C. M. Al full back
Sykes (B. G. Al ......right half back
Phillips &C. M. Al right tackle
Vaughan (B. & HI $3.50. right guard
Ransom &C. N. A. ..... quarter back
McWilliams (B. & H. left halfback
Porter &C. M. Al ......left tackle
Smith (B. G. Al ........ left guard
Claggett &C. M. Az ....... left end
Claggett's position Is one Of the
halves, but from the fact that he 10
one Of the nercest defensive players
he is shifted to the position Of left
end. His work on the defensive this
year has proven him to be one of the
best men in prep school circles.
Ransom's work at quarter IN unQues-
toned, and every football player that
has seen him work this season will
readily agree that he is entitled to all
Southern honors.
Eblen's offensive work at end and
assisting Ransom in the returning OF
punts and his fast foot work will east
~ win for him place as one Of the
ends.
Sykes. OF Battle Ground Academy,
Is without a peer as right half. He
was the sinew and life Of his team.
him they were helpless. He
was undoubtedly the leader and his
position will not be gainsaid.
Shamotulski's work at fullback for
the last three years on G. M. A. has
been of the very highest order and
this year he has shown extra well.
He was one of the heaviest ground
gamers for the team and one of the
most consistent bal players that has
ever handled the pig skin on Acade-
my field, His position as all Southern
.ull cannot be consistently contested.
Phillips and Porter. of G. M. A, are
entitled to the positions Of right and
eft tackle. Phillips is not only a
good tackler, but is one OF the best ,
broken field runners with the oval in
the association. He made record
his season that has not been achiev-
I'd by any other prep school player,
hat of scoring on kick off in fifteen
seconds and receiving the ball on the
30 yard line. Porter is one of the
hardest tacklers and did more to
,reak up the mass plays Of the opposi-
ion than any two men on the team.
L was directly traceable to his work
It Spring Hill that prevented B. 4 H.
rom scoring In the last two downs
u the game.
Vaughan, of B. & H., all Southern
guard Of 1909, is unquestionably enti-
led to the honor again this season.
He is great at the work.
Smith, of B. G. A., is entitled to the
,ther position Of guard. His work
lere against G. M. A. proved that he
s one of the best In the association.
McWilliams, of B. & H., will have to
70 given the position of left half. He
ould not be counted out Of the place
Inder any considerations.
To King, of c. M. A., are the laurels
or center due. His work at this posi-
ion is without criticism and Is far
to anything that has heen
Exhibited on the local field.
With few days practice and signal
unning this squad could make 1t in
for Vanderbilt or Sewanee,
r any other Southern college team.
