sufficient reason that not one of
lnem had in his day the benefit of
t,r -uuerfor coaching that is Law
fenea upon the players of later
date
In every physical way they may
have been fully the equals of some
of The more recent opponents of
the game. but l am very sure they
did not know even the game of
tHcir own day as do these later
rgoducts-and the football of today
Is decidedly more scientific and
deeper game, with all its modern
edncments of play and its devel-
opal ramitications, than was the
football Of twenty years ago.
In other words, in picking SUCH a
team we viii have to look much
farther than to the mere physical
advantages presented by claimants
for places: we shall have to take
largely into account the better ex-
perIeuce of the moderns in the
game. their better instruction, and
The betterment OF the game itself,
with which the players of today
have kept pace.
For this same reason it will be
necessary for me to depose the ma
ortv of the players whom ] named
aa the ajl-time Southern team a
decade ago They were all right at
time. and mighty good men
oy were. But "the world do
