Times Dispatch Selection
for All-South-Atlantic
Football Eleven

hard-earned victory over her chiefest
foe, Virginia. more than Offset the
drubbing which the Indians handed out
to the Blue and Gray earlier in the
! season.
Virginia atoned for the Georgetown
defeat by the way in which Carolina
before that an unbcatcn team. was
swept off her feet on Thanksgiving
, Therefore Virginia and Georgetown
rank far and away above the other
teams in this section. Placing the
teams in their relative positions, they
would appear about like this:
|. Georgetown
.. Virginia.
,. V. r. /.
1. A. and NJ.
s. Carolina.
.. Washington and Lee.
1. V. NJ. l.
S. Johns Hopkins
Q. Davidson.
or these nine teams, the writer has
seen all of them in action but a. and
NJ. v II. I. and Davidson. While the
playing has been uniformly good, few
stars have been developed. Virginia
has her Toll and Georgetown is
proud In her Costello and Sitterding.
but outside of these three players no
phenoms have been in evidence. On
the other. such men as Robertson.
Seifert and Stafford, of a. and NJ. have
failed dismally to live up to their
past regulations.
Dcbson ut Left Eni.
As to the team itself, at left end will
be found a new face in Dobson. of
Johns Hopkins. This youngster is the
find of the year. lie IS heavy, fast,
sure in his tackles. runs down punts
and shows clear. cool head. At the
other end will be found IIegarty, Of
Georgetown. His work In the vir-
ginia game and in the Army game
earned him a r,s..t to the place. but
he has been a consistent perform
or whenever he started.
Hart. of Georgetown. at left tackle,
will undoubtedly be the unanimous
selection for that place. RE earned
a place last year when with George
Washington. and - has won renewed
laurels this season. Probably the
greatest defensive tackle in the South,
he Is lust as good on defensive play.
Floyd OF a. and NJ. is given the
place at right guard. He is heavy,
fast and has not met his match this
season on any field. At the other
guard is Virginfa's heavyweight, Car
ter. Though nothing like SO fast as
Floyd. he would make n good running
mate. and he has a nasty way of
breaking through the opposing de-
Tense and smashing up plays. In the
Carolina game Thanksgiving he inter
cepted several forward passes and on
at least one occasion made glorious
tackle behind the line.
At centre there is going to be some
dissenslon. Captain Wood, of Virginia,
has certainly played n great game at
his position, and may be the selection
OF some, but Gibbs, Of v. =. l.. with
his experience and weight. has the call,
in the opinion of the writer. Gibbs is
never Mustered. his passing is superb,
he Is in every play and is down the
field nearly as fast rs his ends. Gibbs
at the keystone place. would be tower
of strength to any team.
SitterdinE for Quarter.
AS between Sitterding and Gooch. at
quarter. there Is little to choose The
Richmond boy is given the preference
on account of the sterling work he did
In the Army game. He ran his team in
great shape, ran back punts In such
fine style that the Army stalwarts were
taken off their feet, and he kept UP the
work throughout the season. Costello
Is the logical man for the position,
but his Judgment Is nothing like so
good as Sitterding's, and since he has
been developed into sterling back,
he Is placed In that position.
Costello would be the captain of the
eleven. Ho has had experience, and
none of his experience in generating
the team would be OF moro advantage
than that gained while playing quar-
