HEISMAN'S ALL=SOUTHERN ELEVEN
Continued From Preceding Page.

a good line, Cook would look as good
Is most any of them. He is shade
light, but can stand all sorts Of punish
ment. A great player!
Taylor is a magnificent runner with
the abll and a splendid drop kicker. His
tackling and interference are too weak
to let him get on our team.
F'Oger is good around the ends and
in slashing through quick openings, He
is tall and fast and has a wonderful
eye for Judging forward passes. In
pulling these down he is without a peer
in the South today. In other depart
ments he needs work and experience.
HaXton is a real good halfback, al
belt a trifie clumsy. There is no doubt
of his ability to gain ground against
most any team down here. Still he
lacks the necessary brilliancy for this
berth
Now for Hardage. No one, I pre-
sumo, will deny my right to set him
down as the one best bet of the year.
So | set him down.
This chap is one sure enough half
back For that matter, he was 50 the
very first year he ever played college
football. And this is his fourth on a
varsity team. With each passing year
he mas become neeter Of foot and
stronger of muscle, to say nothing of
the steady acquisition of football
knowledge He is as shifty on his feet
as squirrel, yet runs with power
that breaks the hold of a wouldbe tao
ller at least half the time. His defen-
sive ability is quite satisfactory, and
added to this he is one of the best for
ward passers of the year. He is strict
ly in a class with the best halves the
South has produced. I would put him
at rear guard on our defense. Wouldn't
he bring back the punts?
Newell Lacks Only Weight.
Of the remaining four, Newell is the
weakest. This is mainly because he
only weighs 146 pounds. SO far as
speed, driving power for his weight,
experience. Observation-Disclosures, sureness
on handling the ball and inside play
are concerned. he is not behind the
others. He comes as near being q star
as any man on Auburn's lineup. 1 do
not consider him as good at blocking
as Collins, nor as powerful in open field
running as McWhorter. But for his
weight I consider him the best half
back Of the year. But I drop him.
Collins is considerably heavier than
Newell and by reason thereof can bet
ter tear loose from tacklers He runs
fearlessly with the ball and plays with
great nerve and stability. He also Is a
very fast man. Altogether he would
be a valuable addition to any team in
the country, and in another year he
should attain premier honors in the
South He is up against exceptionally
good men in this comparison, but there
is no discounting the general splendor
Of his game / count him out
This narrows the field to McWhorter
and him / choose again for right half
back
This decision will | fancy, not give
entire satisfaction. Certain it is that
McWhorter can not tackle like some
other halfbacks can not interfere like
others, can not buck as do others, etc.
But McWhOrter has improved in these
respects over his work Of last year.
Yes; he has put up one or two below
par games this season, but he had been
Ed and had not fully recovered his
strength. OF course, if he had remained
fl the whole season. so thst all his work
