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

4 good line, Cook would look as good
Is most any Of them. He is a shade
light, but can stand all sorts of punish
: ment. A great player!
Taylor is magnificent runner with
| the abb and a splendid drop kicker. His
! tackling and Interference are too weak
J to let him get on our team.
Folger is good around the ends and
in sashing 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
I belt q trife 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, | pre-
sumo, will deny my right to set him
down as the one best bet of the year.
SO I set him down.
This chap is one sure enough half
back. For that matter, he was so the
very first year he ever played college
! football. And this is his fourth on Il
varsity team With each passing year
he has become fieeter Of foot and
! stronger Of muscle, to say nothing of
the steady acquisition Of football
| knowledge. He is as shifty on his feet
as a squirrel, yet runs with a power
that breaks the hold of would be tao
kler at least half the time. His defen-
siye 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 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, clear medicines, sureness
on handling the ball and inside play
are concerned, he is not behind the
others. He comes as near being a star
as any man on Auburn's lineup do
not consider him as good at blocking
las Collins, nor as powerful in open field
running as McWhorter. But for his
weight | 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
J is no discounting the general splendor
Of his game. l count him out
This narows the field to McWhorter
and him I choose again for right half
| back.
This decision will, fancy not give
entire satisfaction Certain It is that
McWhorter can not tackle like som,
other halfbacks, can not interfere like
others, can not buck as do others, etc
! But NcWhorter has improved in these
| respects over his work of last year.
| Yes. ne has put up one or two below
! par games this season but he had beer
nm and had not fully recovered uis
strength. OF course. III he had REMAINED
on tho whole easou, 50 rhst al his work
